RACE OF CHILD INTERESTED IN ADOPTING:
Any
Dear Birthmother,
First, thank you from the bottom of our hearts! We are grateful you are considering adoption and will maintain empathy for the emotions only you will ever know through this process. We want you to know we have prayed for you before knowing who you are while having faith God would align you in the right time and place with us. We have dreamed of having a child to love, watch grow and develop, and share how precious life itself is. We want you to know we will always pray for you, and please know this baby will be loved unconditionally.
There are not enough words to express our gratitude! Should you choose us, we promise to give this child an incredible future centered around happiness and love. This baby will grow abundantly while surrounded by family and friends who are itching to open the child’s experiences. We look forward to camping and vacations to show this blooming baby worldly views and cultural horizons. We want our child to know God’s love for them and how perfect they are in God’s image.
Unfortunately for us, our paths did not meet until later in Amber’s childbearing years, and when combined with past infertility issues, our dream seemed impossible. We believe you are a blessing delivering a tiny miracle, and we pray you can find comfort knowing a little piece of you will always be remembered and appreciated.
About Us
Hello! We are Keith and Amber! We have been married for over a year now and are loving and compassionate with a twist of goofiness. Keith is a mechanic in the field of HVAC and is skilled with his hands in different trades. Keith is charismatic and outgoing, never afraid to try something new. Amber is a Licensed Professional Counselor primarily working with children and adolescents and presents an empathetic and friendly personality. We enjoy outdoor activities like hiking, tubing in the river, kayaking, and camping. Amber tends to enjoy reading a book by the pool, creative projects, and adventures traveling, while Keith takes a more adventurous approach most times. We value time with friends and family, putting effort into gathering them all together as often as possible. We both put our Christian faith first when making choices for our life, with faith that God is guiding our journey.
Our Home
Our home was a huge blessing and allowed us to truly integrate our lives together in 2023 shortly after we married. We spent the first part of our relationship traveling to each other, knowing our mutual home would bring us physically and emotionally closer together. When we came across our home, we fell in love! Located in a serene place surrounded by farmland, it creates a perfect oasis to spend time together and have space for hobbies such as gardening, woodworking, and a future pool. We adopted a puppy, Willy Wonka, who is now nine months old. Willy loves children and seems to be especially interested in small children, offering gentle nudges and a playful personality.
Our Extended Family
We are grateful to have incredible support and encouragement from both families through this adoption journey. Amber has one brother and sister-in-law who bring along two nephews. Amber’s brother is active in the Coast Guard, typically bringing a fun vacation spot near the coast to visit. Our oldest nephew is a teenager and spends much time with us in the summer engaging in activities like waterparks and zoos. Amber’s parents visit from Florida in the summers.
Keith has two brothers, two sisters, and one niece along with one sister who was placed for adoption. Keith grew up with a close relationship with his grandparents due to his mother’s mental illness/substance use issues, taking turns staying with grandparents and his father. “Pops,” Keith’s dad, is always encouraging and up for adventures.
We try to plan gatherings with both families together to mingle whenever possible. Our parents are very excited to bring home another grandchild and watch our family grow! We have many aunts, uncles, and cousins between our families and are blessed to have a foundation that is so encouraging and supportive. It is fabulous having a large family to be by our side when we need them.
What Led Us To Adoption
We are ecstatic to partner with a birthmother to assure this brave woman that the decision to allow us to love a child is the hardest choice one can ever face but also the most extravagant miracle one could give us. We have close friends with adopted children and look to them as role models and for guidance. Keith is familiar with how adoption can change a new life and benefit all involved in this process. Keith was ten years old when his sister was placed for adoption at birth. We have had the opportunity to speak with her in recent years and know she had a happy and productive childhood. We look forward to providing the same opportunity for this newborn baby.
