RACE OF CHILD INTERESTED IN ADOPTING:
Any
Dear Birthmother,
We are truly humbled by your strength and courage. The decision you are facing is one of the most profound acts of love we can imagine. While we cannot fully understand your journey, please know that our hearts are with you in compassion and deep respect.
We will honor your story, and your child will know the incredible love and selflessness that shaped their beginning; we will ensure that your child grows up understanding the bravery behind your decision. Your role in their life will never be forgotten; it will be celebrated with the deepest gratitude.
Our home is filled with laughter, warmth, and most importantly, unconditional love. We cherish every moment spent together —whether that's trying new recipes on a rainy afternoon, exploring nature trails, playing with our cat, or reading good books. Most of all, we are ready to provide your child with a life rooted in the love of God, in kindness, in security, and in joy.
Thank you for taking a moment to consider us. Whatever path you choose, we hope you feel surrounded by support and compassion. You are not alone, and your love will always be a guiding light in your baby's life.
With love,
Josh & Mary
Our Home
Our three-bedroom, three-bathroom house is nestled on a quiet, beautiful street in a family-friendly neighborhood. We love sitting on our wrap-around porch, playing music in our library, and lighting candles to read in the sunroom. Our cozy style makes our house the spot where our family likes to come, stay, and play with our very loving (and silly) orange cat. We live close to several metro parks, bike trails, an art museum, bookstores, and stadiums where we see our favorite sports teams and attend concerts. Our public school system is one of the best in the state, and Mary also teaches in the district.
Our Extended Family
We are both very close with our families. Mary has one brother who serves in the military and lives with his wife and two boys. We love our Facetime chats with our nephews and are looking forward to many more day trips to the zoo, Lego building nights, and twinkly holiday mornings.
Our favorite traditions with Mary's mom and stepdad are summer bonfires and the "Christmas Eve Throwdown" where we draw names, go to the store with a timer, and run around to find one last gift for each other. Mary's dad and stepmom live in Brazil, and we enjoy the rich multicultural traditions that we get to experience as a family when we are together.
Josh has two younger sisters, and we see each other frequently. There is so much joy, laughter, and volume that we can barely hear our own thoughts. Our favorite traditions are playing board games, spending two hours trying to pick a movie, telling stories, and making Thanksgiving dinner.
We are especially grateful that both of our families attend the same church and that we can all pursue our faith together.
