Dear Birth Parent(s),

Hello! Our names are Matt and Becky. We have big hearts and much love, and by you reading our profile, you must also have a big heart and much love. We thank you for going through with the challenging times of pregnancy. We want to bring you comfort and peace. While you carry your child inside, deciding about adoption, we would like you to know that God is with you. "He will cover you with His feathers and under His wings you will find refuge". Psalms 91:4

We have been married for nine and a half years; we met through friends on a blind date at a bowling alley. We have tried to have a baby on our own. We've both been tested for infertility, and it turned out to be Becky with the infertility. Our doctor had told us that it was unlikely we would become pregnant. Once we heard that, we knew adopting a baby would be our choice. We have already been blessed with one adopted son, adopted as an infant, named Garrett. Garrett is now five years old. We would sure love to adopt another baby, so he could have a brother or sister to play with.

Garrett, our little boy is looking so forward to having a baby in the family he can hardly stand it. He talks about it a lot. He will say things that put a tear in Becky's eye. We will be out shopping and he will say, "We need to buy that for our new baby when he or she comes!" Or sometimes he'll say, "I'm going to save this blanket, or toy for my new baby".

Matt has many cousins, one named Tim that was adopted as an infant. Becky has an older brother named Jeff and older sister named Sue that she is thankful that her parents adopted them as infants. Becky's mother had infertility just like she does, except Becky's is worse. Becky's mom and dad adopted her brother and sister and then along came Becky, when her mom was 41 years old. Becky is very thankful for her brother and sister, family is special.

We are happy to have many friends and family, some with younger children our son plays with. Including a couple we met almost six years ago that now has three children. The first year we met them, they had just adopted their first baby. Then the same year we adopted, they adopted too. Last January they were blessed again with one more.

If you choose us as adoptive parents, would be very thankful and feel grateful. As we have always talked very positive and loving of Garrett's birthmother and birthfather, we have told him about his adoption. We will do the same for your child. We show Garrett pictures and explain what a gift he was to us from God and how his birthmother and birthfather wanted a better life for him. Ever since he was adopted we have told him that he grew in his birthmother's tummy and he grew in our hearts at the same time. Also that his birthmother and birthfather made a loving and caring decision. How thankful we are to birthparents and God to give us the privilege to adopt a child.

If you choose to meet us, we will consider ourselves very lucky and blessed. If you choose us, we are willing to send pictures and letters for as long as you desire. We do this for Garrett's birthparent(s) also. When we adopted Garrett our son, with the birthparents' approval, we got to meet them. If you choose us, if you would like we can meet at the hospital. If you choose us, we would feel thankful and happy to have your baby placed with us. We hope this will bring hope to you and comfort knowing that we would love to met you and not judge you. For God made you and me and loves each and every one of us whole-heartedly! We thank you for considering us as adoptive parents for your baby.

With much love,

Matt & Becky
