We are so eager to be parents again and to learn about you and what you see for your child in the future. We will gladly share pictures and letters with you as your little one grows. We honor you and respect you for considering adoption. We would always let your child know that the decision you have made was from your heart and out of your deepest love for her. We want to say thank you for taking the time to read this profile. It would be the answer to our prayers if we were the right family to raise your little one.

We met at work when we were teenagers. We first became the best of friends even though Nashied is African American and Christina is Caucasian; we were so alike. We were both a little shy yet we could tell each other anything. He was the kindest person Christina had ever met. Nashied said that he thought Christina was mean at first because she did not talk very much. Nashied is not a man of many words, but he is a gentle man. We are of different races, but cut from the same clothe. We did not realize that we were in love until he decided to join the Navy and would be going away. It is then that we started to date long distance. He went to Chicago for basic training and Christina stayed in Tennessee. We wrote and visited each other. He then decided to ask Christina to marry him and of course she said yes. The rest is history, almost twelve years and still going strong.

We are a bi-racial family. We embrace our differences. We teach our children to judge others by their action not by how they look. Our children are happy and understand that they come from two different but equally great cultures. They have such a rich history and will know that they are what the world is supposed to be like. Love is love no matter how much money a person may have; know matter how you grew up or the pigment of your skin. We believe that our love will conquer all the prejudices that are put before us. We will not let others decide our happiness. We have a wonderful life together and it is only going to get better.

We have two wonderful boys Aaron and Joshua. Aaron is almost ten. He is a very intelligent child. He loves Pokemon video games. He also loves science. We recently made a volcano and grew crystals with him. He is an avid reader. He is in the fourth grade and already reads books that are read in high school. He is currently reading "To Kill a Mockingbird." He is very polite, but he is getting to the age where he is very independent. He is an old soul in a boy's body.

Then we have Joshua who just recently turned eight. He is shy around strangers, but is the comedian at home. He questions anything and everything. He loves to draw and play video games. It is very hard to get upset with him such as the time he stuck a band-aid on our Chihuahua and could not get it off. We asked him how it got there and he said it fell on the dog and then smiles showing his little dimples and you cannot be upset. The dog is fine; a little water took care of it. They are both the butter on our bread with out them life would be bland.

At the Greenway

We will tell the child they were loved beyond belief. We will inform the child that their parents loved them so much that they made the hardest sacrifice anyone has ever had to make. They chose adoption to allow them to have a better life. Maybe the time wasn't right for their parents and the best decision was adoption. We will always talk positive about their birth parents. They answered our prayers by allowing us to be parents and the opportunity to raise them as our own. We believe that when the time is right we will answer any and all questions that the child may have about their birth parents. We will always tell the child that know matter what they are loved.
