Dear Birthmother,

Dear Expectant Mother,

We want to acknowledge your strength, selflessness, and courage through this journey. No words can express our deep admiration for you. If you choose us, your child will be raised with unconditional love in our humble Christian home. They will have many wonderful outdoor adventures and a fair bit of shenanigans! They will have many loved ones with whom to celebrate victories and rally after losses. We are a family of lifelong learners and hope to develop their unique talents so they can stand proud in any direction they choose to go in their life. We value developing their self-esteem, coping skills, love of learning, independence, and sense of adventure as they grow. Your child will be raised spending many of their days at the ocean, river, local waterfalls, and creeks splashing around, catching hermit crabs, looking for pretty rocks and shells, and swimming. We both grew up in rural communities spending most of our days outdoors and look forward to watching them catch their first frog or squeal in delight at cold water over their toes.

We love learning and hope to incorporate your culture as well. As Jacob is a Choctaw and Kristy is Irish, we have a deep sense of importance for those parts of ourselves. We believe it is important for a child to know where they come from and develop a deep understanding of it as they grow. We want to thank you again from the bottom of our hearts for considering us on this journey.
