Hi! I can only imagine what you are going through at this difficult time in your lives.
My name is Misty and my husband is John "Barry". We have an adopted son named Jack. I’m 30, my husband is 40, and Jack is 21 months. Jack was adopted officially in August of 2005. Having 2 children is our dream and are hoping that you will make our dream come true.
As an only child for 14 years I can say from experience that everyone should have a sibling close in age. It was lonely for me and wished for a sibling. My mom and dad tried and tried to conceive for many years. When I was 14...BAM!!! they had my baby sister. (I was the built in baby-sitter.) Don’t get me wrong. I enjoyed her very much and pretended that she was my baby. My husband, too was kind of an only child as well. His sister and brother were much older and had moved out by the time he came along. He still had a sister living at home that was 14 years older as well. We both feel like our children should be close in age so they can be close with each other (play, friends, activities, ect).
Vacations will be especailly fun with two children as we like to go camping, if you can call it that. We have a forty-foot fifth-wheel camper with just enough room for the whole family. Camping with our family is such a bonding experience since there are hardly any outside distractions. We like to cook hot dogs and make smores over the campfire. Taking nature walks and fishing are just two of our favorite camping things to do.
Barry and I have been married now for 11 years and have went through ALOT OF FERTILITY TREATMENTS and A LOT OF EMOTIONAL STRESS AS A RESULT OF FERTILITY TREATMENTS. We finally realized that God wanted us to adopt. Our son Jack was a gift from God and his birthmother was the angel that delivered him to us. Barry and I are hoping that you too will be God’s special emissary.
If you decide that this is what you want and that we are what you are looking for, the least we could do is keep you up to date on how your child is doing with pictures and letters as we are currently doing this with our son’s birthmother.
Thank you so much for considering us as future parents of your child. If you feel it in your heart that we may be what you are looking for it is probably God speaking to you.
P.S. If you choose us we will have a child for both of our arms to hold and we won’t be begging each other for a turn.
