We believe the choice for adoption is the greatest gift of selflessness a mother could ever give her child. If you were to choose us, we could provide your child with unconditional love, diversity and the ability to become whomever/whatever they choose in life. Having children brings great meaning to our lives. If you choose us to parent your child, we will be eternally grateful and we will be sure your child will always know how much you love them to give them such a gift. We would always be ready to share pictures and letters so you could see what a wonderful choice you made.

Our Family
We were foster parents for several years, before we adopted 2 of our foster children. We love them dearly and are just as bonded with them as with our birth children. We could not imagine our life without them. It has been such a wonderful experience we would like to adopt again. Our current adopted children know they are adopted and we have contact with their birth parents whenever they (the birth parents) initiate it. We send pictures and Christmas cards to them also. We love having children around all the time. It's a wonderful feeling watching them experience a first, like walking, tying their shoes, or riding a bike.
An Afternoon at the Beach
Visiting the Zoo with Extended Family
We live in a very diverse area and our family is pretty diverse as well. We have family with special needs and also a bi-racial niece and nephew. We also have close friends who have African American children, Bi-racial children and Asian children. We are in contact with them almost daily. There are many different people in our neighbor hood. One of my daughter's best friends is from India, her other best friend is Mexican/American, they spend a lot of time at our home. We have children from several different backgrounds in our area, including Asian and African American children as well as Mexican, Indian, and Caucasian children.
Getting Ready to Deliver Christmas Cookies
We spend a lot of time in Wisconsin where we grew up. Every Christmas Eve we get together with Suzie's whole extended family and have salmon and/or tomato soup with ham sandwiches and open Christmas gifts. It's the same each year. We all make different cookies and goodies and watch Christmas movies and play games. In the weeks before Christmas we and our children make many, many cookies and make up Christmas plates that the children deliver to all our friends and neighbors, while wearing Santa hats. It's our favorite time together. We also have an annual Easter egg hunt and an annual Halloween Party with family and friends.
Halloween is a Fun Time
