Dear Birthmother,
We would like to sincerely thank you for considering adoption for your baby. We know it is an incredibly hard decision, and we are grateful for your selflessness and courage. There are so many people, like ourselves, who struggle with infertility, and adoption is a beautiful light of hope for us. We are so hopeful and pray you will help us complete our family!
Being parents is our greatest blessing. Our daughter will be an amazing big sister. She feeds, kisses, and tucks her dolls into bed and talks about having a brother or sister often. If you bless us with this amazing gift, your baby will have a best friend from the moment he or she is born! We will provide your baby with a wonderful life full of love, family, and opportunities to fulfill their dreams. We will unconditionally love and support them and always be there for them. Raising your baby to be the best person they can be is our priority, and we will let them know you love them immensely.
We have family nearby that we do fun activities with such as apple orchards, weekend trips, swimming, pumpkin patches, sledding, ice skating, boating, amusement parks, and zoo trips. We are excited to share those experiences to create lasting memories! A new baby will add so much to our lives—more love, happiness, laughter, cuddles, and lifelong memories. We truly appreciate you considering our family to love your baby forever.
Sincerely,
Brad & Megan
About Us
Our first date was walking our dogs at a park with a beautiful lake, Brad proposed to Megan at the very same park a few years later. In 2017 we were blessed with a beautiful daughter. She’s now five and loves Kindergarten. We encourage her to do all the activities/sports she wants to do. She is currently in dance (her favorite) and softball.
Megan works in corporate healthcare and loves her job. Brad also works for a large healthcare company. We both have easygoing, calm personalities. Brad can fix or build anything. Megan is known for being extremely caring, kind, hardworking and enjoys doing things to help others. We both enjoy watching sports, movies, and going on family vacations to explore new places.
We absolutely love being parents, we have so much love and a lifetime of fun experiences to share, we hope and pray to be blessed with a second child to love and cherish just as much as our daughter!
Our Home
Our large, two story home is on an acre of land perfect for children to play and use their imaginations. Our town is a suburb, but full of horse farms. It’s not unusual to see someone riding a horse on the side of the road. We love it! We have a small terrier dog named Jake, you can often find him curled up in a blanket with our daughter.
Brad made elevated stadium seating in our finished basement to watch our large projection screen. It’s great for family movies, cartoons, and hosting Super Bowl parties. We live near two large cities and an amusement park, we grew up going there when we were young and now we get to share that fun with our daughter. In the summer, you can often find us at the local pool.
Our Extended Family
Our families are a huge part of our lives! We have wonderful relationship examples in our lives as Brad’s parents & Megan’s parents have each been married for over 40 years. We live less than 15 minutes from both of our parents and have sisters who live nearby. We also have siblings in other states. We have nine young nieces and nephews we do a lot of fun activities with, like going to pumpkin patches/apple orchards, the state fair, pools, parks, community events like outdoor concerts, holiday events and even road trips/vacations! Most of our family traditions are centered around holidays. Christmas traditions include Polish “Wigilia” as Brad’s mom was born in Poland. Christmas Eve includes gifting the children brand new pajamas every year and reading ‘Twas the Night Before Christmas’ before bed. St. Patrick’s Day is celebrated by going to Irish restaurants because both of Megan’s parents are almost 100% Irish.
We love to go to sporting events like football games, hockey games, and our niece and nephews’ sporting events. Most recently, we took our daughter to her first football game. She had a great time dancing in the stadium to all the music. Our extended family is really close to our daughter and she loves spending time with them.
What Led Us To Adoption
We have wonderful family and friends who we’ve talked with about adoption and the life of an adopted child. Megan’s uncle was adopted as a baby, and Brad’s best friend adopted a baby a few years ago. We’ve had conversations with Megan’s grandma and our friends about their experiences adopting their sons and have them to lean on for advice. Our adoption journey began with a long and hard path to becoming parents. After being diagnosed with infertility, Megan went through surgery and after a successful IVF we were blessed with our little girl. While we tried again for another child, we went through multiple miscarriages. We now know the path meant for us to grow our family is through adoption, and we’re so excited to be here!
