RACE OF CHILD INTERESTED IN ADOPTING:
Any
Dear Birthmother,
We are deeply grateful that you would consider us during this process. We can’t begin to imagine what you are going through as you make such an important decision for you and your baby. The sacrifice is truly admirable and your strength and bravery is unmeasured.
Selecting us to be your child’s parents would mean your baby will be cherished by our entire family. Making sure that their days will be filled with love, from us to older siblings and four furry friends. There is no shortage of affection in our home for your baby.
Together we have already raised four children into confident and loving adults and have two more boys currently in high school, who are both on their way to do great things as well.
We promise to also guide this child and support them in whatever they choose to do, giving them every opportunity that’s possible so we can ensure that their dreams become reality.
During this time we pray for your heart, that you are surrounded by love and support as you make this decision, whatever the outcome may be.
Should you choose us to be your child’s parents, our family will always remember what you did for your child and what it means for us, and how it made our family complete. Your selflessness will never be diminished in our hearts and in our home and we will always honor you in our lives.
Our Home
We recently purchased our first home in a great neighborhood in a small midwestern town. We have spent the last year doing many different projects to make it feel more like ours. We have a huge backyard, surrounded by trees and a great deck to cook out on. We are a short drive from some of the best schools in the state for academics, athletics, music, dance and theater.
Our family has four loving dogs; Symba a Pom-Chi, the oldest and smallest of the group, but somehow the leader. Next is Remy, our sweet girl Doodle, then Loki our loyal Shi-Poo, and lastly our youngest Bowie who is a Maltese.
Our Extended Family
In 2018, we lost our son to cancer and it was at this difficult time that our close circle of friends were even more essential in our lives; and they became family. While we may live quite a distance from both of our parents and families, we have surrounded ourselves with a loving, supportive, extended family.
Our family traditions include year round cook outs, even in the snow, fun baking throughout the holidays, and an exciting yet sometimes competitive football season. You can find us all playing tennis around the corner from our house, when the sun’s out. However, the most favorite tradition of all is definitely setting up for the Christmas season. The constant streaming of Home Alone, Elf and The Santa Clause movies, make the season even better. We decorate in October and enjoy the holidays all through winter. When the snow melts, the tree finally comes down.
One of our parenting goals has always been to attend every game, every performance, every award presentation that our children are a part of. We attend as a family and always fill up at least a row and support and cheer them on! Rather it be taking a road trip to a football stadium to watch our quarterback shine or over to the high school for our musical theater son to light up the stage, we are always making the most of these moments.
