RACE OF CHILD INTERESTED IN ADOPTING:

Any


Dear Birthmother,

Dear Expectant Mother,

We want you to know we appreciate what a difficult decision this is for you, and we have nothing but admiration and respect for the courage and love that it takes to consider this. Life can be full of surprises and unexpected obstacles. Whatever circumstances led to you considering adoption, we are amazed by such a selfless act. We would be honored and humbled to be entrusted with your child and would strive every day to prioritize their well being just as you are doing now. We are open to whatever relationship is most comfortable for you. We believe being honest from the beginning is the best path for your child and our family. Your child will know from an early age the story of their biological family.

We are very fortunate to live comfortable lives with supportive families. Our careers enable us to have ample resources to raise a well-rounded child with plenty of opportunities. Our marriage is built on a strong foundation of trust and respect, and we feel very lucky to have met each other at a young age. While we have found success in our careers and marriage, we did not find that same success in our journey to conceive. When we got married, we knew our primary desire was to raise a child in a loving home. We didn’t know at the time that this desire would lead us to adoption, but now we are so thankful to be on this journey. We intend to bring your child up surrounded by love, support, honesty, and happiness. We feel adopting your child would add meaning and joy to our lives, and we are forever grateful to you for this gift.


Home

Our Home

We currently live less than a mile away from Michelle’s parents and sister and love being close to family. We own a two-bedroom townhome in a small community, walking distance to beaches, parks, and excellent schools. We share our home with Jackie, our retriever/hound rescue who is always the fastest dog at the dog park and the first to get to the ball. She is very patient with our daughter and knows small people equals extra treats and lots of pets. Since we are so close to family at this duty station, we couldn’t imagine a more perfect time to grow our own.

Our Extended Family

We both come from big families. Michelle is the eldest of four sisters, and Philip is the third of four siblings. We are close to all our family and love to spend as much time with them as we can. Fortunately, we live near Michelle’s family and get to spend lots of time with her parents, her younger sister, and their two preschool-aged sons. We take turns hosting family dinners between our three households every week.

Michelle’s mom helps with childcare while we are at work, and we are so grateful for the close bond Perrin has developed with her grandmother. Michelle’s other two sisters live farther away, but we are able to get the whole family together for a ski or camping trip every year.

We don't live as close to Philip’s family, but we love to visit them on the holidays. He has a sister with four children and two brothers. When we all get together, our favorite activity is going out to the family ranch and barbecuing.
