Thank you for considering us as your baby's family. We understand that if you choose us as your baby's family, we will be accepting graciously the responsibility of raising your child with the guidance, love, happiness, and loyalty he or she needs to ensure their future as you wish. Your choice for adoption has to be one of the most unselfish and courageous decisions that you could ever make. Your child would always know that your decision was made with love. We would love nothing more than to include you and your child into our family tree.

We will tell your child age appropriate information from the beginning. We do not intend to keep any secrets or tell any lies. We realize that your child has the right to know everything about him or herself. They have the right to know where they came from and that they were adopted. We will also tell them how excited we were when we got the call that they had finally been born and how we couldn't wait to meet them and to hold them. As he or she gets older, we will let them know how grateful we are for his or her biological mom because she was brave and allowed us to let her son or daughter join our family. We will encourage him or her to always ask questions whenever they want. We will never get upset about them wanting to learn more about their roots. We want your child to know that they were part of God's plan in that they were loved so much by their biological mother that she wanted what was best for them. She wanted him or her to have the opportunities, support, and care that she felt was best. It takes a very caring and compassionate mom to carry her child full term, deliver her child, and allow another family to raise it as theirs. It is not ever the easiest option. It takes courage and commitment. Your child will always know how grateful we are to you. We both are giving them love. We would never allow our adopted child to feel less important or less loved. They will be loved by you, us, and a big brother. We will respond to your child on his or her demand.

Jake and His Cousin Alyssa

We do have one child who is eight years old. His name is Jake and is a miracle for us. When he was born, our lives definitely changed for the better. We both love children and come from homes with siblings. After having Jake, we both realized that he was a gift from God. We want to have other children so Jake will have siblings and we will have another child to love, but God does not want us to conceive. We feel that he has been telling us to adopt for some time and we just couldn't hear him. Jake has always been interested in everything from sports, to plays, to art. He loves to draw and watch ESPN. He is very calm and compassionate. He gets upset if someone on his football team gets injured.

When we go out, if an establishment doesn't accept children, then we don't go. We have taken one vacation without him, and he has taken two without us. Jake loves to travel and to learn. He pays attention to detail. He has traveled more that any other child that we know. He collects the state quarters, trading cards, and pocket knives. He loves tennis shoes. One thing that Jake does want is a brother or sister. We have spoken to him extensively about adoption and he can't wait. He knows that he has a lot of love to share with his new brother or sister. He openly talks to his friends about the adoption process and how excited he is to get a brother or sister. He is always noticing babies and commenting on how cute they are when we see some out. Before we started the adoption process, we were driving down the road and Jake made a comment on how lucky one of his friends was because they had a brother at home to take care of. We didn't know how to respond. He was about six years old at the time. This showed us that he needed a brother or sister as much as they needed him. Your baby could not be loved any more by us if we brought it into the world ourselves. We would never make a difference between your child and Jake because to us, they would be equal. Your baby would be loved by us and a big brother.
