RACE OF CHILD INTERESTED IN ADOPTING:
Any
Dear Birthmother,
The word thankful seems too small to express how we feel that we are being considered in this adoption process. Thank you for taking the time to get to know us and our families. We want you to know whatever decision you make will be the right one. We will never be able to understand how you are feeling at this moment, but please know your love for your child cannot be questioned. You and your history will always be a part of this child’s life. We promise that every day we will provide them with information to help them understand where they come from and how much they are loved. We admire you so much for making a decision like this as it takes so much strength and selflessness.
If we have the privilege of being chosen, please know this child will be joining a large family full of remarkable people, unconditional love, and an immense amount of support. Our family and friends cannot wait to shower this child with love and to be there for all of their biggest milestones. Every day of their lives will be reinforced by our love, support, and encouragement for them.
Thank you,
Matt & Hannah
Our Home
The best part about where we live is that we are 10-15 minutes away from work, shopping, and family. We currently live in a luxury apartment complex as we are waiting to build the home of our dreams in the next five years. We have a small patio and a huge side yard where we take our dogs out to play. We live across the street from a golf course, where we spend a lot of our evenings and weekends. Our home is about five minutes away from the closest parks on the river, where we take walks when it’s nice out, which is most of the year. We have two dogs, Luna and Finn.
Our Extended Family
Our families are very close-knit and love to spend time together. We live about ten minutes from Hannah’s family. Matt’s family lives in Minnesota, and we have one or two visits a year.
Matt’s family lives on a 20-acre farm in a small Minnesota town. He grew up living next door to his aunt and uncle, cousins, and grandparents. Matt spent a ton of time on the farm and outdoors fishing and kayaking. We grew up playing tennis and swam on the same team in high school. We spent summers going on family trips to historical spots and to Maine and ate lobster straight from the ocean. Matt’s family is Swedish, and every holiday season, we spend time making their traditional dishes.
Hannah’s family loves sports and games. We have a competitive spirit that goes deep. If we were not traveling for sports, we were spending it at both of our grandparents' homes and having sleepovers with our cousins. The holidays were full of traditional tamale making and sugar cookie baking! We used to spend every Labor Day weekend in Lincoln City, OR, on the beach. We love family dinners and game nights, which always end in belly laughs. Both families are beyond excited to bring a child into the group!
