Dear Birthmother,
Thank you for taking the time to learn about us and consider us to adopt your baby. There really are no words to express how much you mean to us. We can’t imagine all you’ve been through to make this decision, and we’re so grateful to you, even if you don’t pick us; we can’t imagine how difficult this decision must be. Pregnancy in general takes a strong woman, but to make the choice to place your baby for adoption is absolutely amazing. You are an incredibly brave woman, and you will be so blessed. Although we haven’t met you, we have been praying for you and your baby for a long time. We feel like our family is incomplete, and we know there is more love to give. Our home is already so full of love and laughter, so growing our family through adoption would just add an immeasurable amount more.
We know we would be able to love, support, and teach your child through their whole life. We would also make sure your baby would know what an amazing woman you are and what a miracle you are for your decision.
You must be pretty scared and nervous about the whole thing, and trust us, we are too! But adoption is such a beautiful thing, and we hope to be part of the journey with you.
About Us
Hello! We’re Kenzie and Ben. We live in Central Florida, and we love it here. We are definitely theme park addicts and we love going to the beach, so it’s the perfect area for us. Ben is currently in flight school full time to become a commercial pilot. He will be with an airline within two years. Kenzie is a men’s haircut specialist and has been working in the same place for almost ten years. Fitness is a big part of our lives as Ben used to be a personal trainer, and we both try to go to CrossFit classes a few times a week. Church is also very important to us as we attend every Sunday and keep religion in our everyday lives. We love finding new zoos and aquariums to go to when we visit a new city.
Our Home
We bought our first home 3 years ago, and we’ve spent lots of time working on it and making it our own. We were both raised by handy parents, so we’ve picked up lots of skills working on the house ourselves. We live in a smaller town, but it’s just outside of a big city, so there are always plenty of things to do. There are several children that live on our street and they all love to play together. We plan on homeschooling - we already have plenty of family and friends nearby that homeschool, so we will have a large network of help from others. We have a dog (german shepherd/lab), a cat, and a large freshwater fish tank.
Our Extended Family
We both had similar upbringings, just in different states. We are both the third of four kids raised by loving parents. We also both were blessed to have a ton of cousins we got to see often.
Kenzie grew up in Utah. All her family is still there, but we try to visit twice a year. Ben actually grew up just 20 minutes from where we currently live, and his parents still live there. His brother and sister with their families also still live in the area. We’re so fortunate to have his family nearby for support and for our kids to grow up near each other. We get together with his family for almost every holiday and birthday and a random Sunday dinner here and there.
As we’ve only been married five years, we are still working on building our own family traditions, but we’ve found we both really like the holidays and going all out for decorating.
What Led Us To Adoption
We both have always wanted to have a big family, and we were blessed with our son when we started trying. We also knew we wanted our kids to be close in age, so we started trying again when he was just nine months old. After two years of infertility treatments, stress, and tears, we decided to explore our options. Although we were both sad we couldn’t have more biological children, it was easy for us to take the next step. We feel like our family is incomplete, and we know there’s more love to give. Our son absolutely loves playing with his cousins, so he is ready to have a sibling at home!
