Dear Birthmother,

We feel incredibly honored to even be considered as the potential adoptive parents of your sweet baby. Much like you, adoption was not a decision we made lightly, and we prepared ourselves for years before finally starting the long road to adoption. Meeting William made the memory of every doubt, fear, and tear melt away. As adoptive parents, we strive to love our child as selflessly as his birth mother did, and would do the same for yours if given the opportunity. We plan to honor the huge sacrifices made and give our kids every chance to discover their gifts and chase their dreams. It’s our goal as parents to provide, protect, support, and unconditionally love our children through life’s every twist and turn.

Dear mama, our hearts are full and ready to pour into a little one, and we would love to cherish your child for the rest of our lives. Thank you for your strength, bravery, and fierce determination. We are so in awe of you. Your road and choices were not easy, and you will always be a hero in our eyes, whether or not you choose us to love your child forever.

With love,
Cory and Erin


Home

Our Home

We own a spacious, fully renovated, three-bedroom house that was built in 1895 in a quiet, quaint town in central Illinois. We bought our home nearly eight years ago, and it is still our favorite place to be. Our neighborhood is peaceful, safe, and a great place to raise a family. During the warmer months, our town is the host of outdoor festivals, concerts, and food truck nights as well as the location for the annual county fair! Bright city lights and the good shopping are just over an hour away, making it the perfect day trip! We have fantastic schools, quality healthcare, and plenty of family-fun activities right in our hometown!

Our Extended Family

We are both the youngest in our families of four and five children. Cory has three older siblings married with children of their own. Cory’s parents, together over 50 years, try to gather all 18 family members as often as they can to celebrate birthdays, holidays, and special occasions. They like playing and watching sports and games the whole family can enjoy together. Erin has four older sisters, two of them married with families of their own, and her dad and bonus mom make 17 people in all. Erin’s family lives miles apart but keep in close contact with frequent calls, visits, and yearly summer vacations! Thankfully, both sides of the family fiercely love the Lord, each other, and sharing and making memories.

We are also very blessed with wonderful extended families and more cousins, aunts, and uncles than we can count! Weddings, holidays, and family get-togethers are always filled with loud laughter, good food, and more love than we deserve. Both our families are so excited at the chance to welcome a new life, and we’re sure they will be falling over each other to be the first one to hold the baby, just like they were with William!
