Dear Birth Parent(s),

Thank you for considering and reading our family profile. We know that you are considering the biggest decision of your life and we respect and admire you for your strength and courage.

Our names are Kevin and Ginger and we have been married for over 3 years. We have a very loving relationship and consider each other to be our best friend. From the time we were dating we talked with excitement about one day having a family of our own. We knew that we were made to be parents. After several years of trying to conceive on our own we determined that God's plan for us was to adopt. We know that love is what makes a family, not DNA.

Our friends and family are all very excited for us to adopt. They know how much we long to start our family. We were both raised in homes that valued family time together; encouraged us to be our own individuals, supported us in our endeavors, and taught us to be strong adults. We draw a huge amount of support from our families. We promise to be strong role models for this child and afford every opportunity, plus many more, that we were given growing up.

Due to the nature of our jobs and the flexibility they afford, we have the ability to keep a regular schedule tailored to the needs of this child. We are fortunate that our work life can be accommodating to the ever-changing landscape of raising a child. Our family will come first and foremost and we are lucky to have understanding, family-oriented employers that recognize this importance.

Our pets are also a very important part of our lives. We have two gentle and lovable golden retrievers named Murphy and Chloe. They are like big teddy bears and love to snuggle. They are constantly around the children of family and friends and know that little people require tenderness and care. We also have a cat named Mr. Pickles. Mr. Pickles showed up on our porch several years ago and decided to stay. He's one smart cat who thinks he's king of the house. How lucky we are they let us live with them.

We want you to know that we will nurture the unique qualities in your child and encourage them to follow their hopes and dreams. We will also create an environment that allows them to grow not only physically but also spiritually. With the love and support of our family and friends, they will be encouraged to become whatever their hearts desire. We will be their biggest fans and provide unconditional love and support for them.

Our love runs deep for your child, as does our desire to become parents. We long for the days to play in the leaves, pick flowers, carve pumpkins and decorate for Christmas. We want to take yearly family vacations, go to baseball games, spend summers at the lake and teach them how to ride a bicycle. Essentially, we want to provide the same memorable childhood that we had when we were growing up.

We want you to know that through letters and pictures, we will keep your spirit alive with your child. It will never be a secret who you are and the decision that you had to make. We hope to share stories with them about your love and your decision to provide them with the greatest life possible. We will share how brave you were in making this very difficult decision and that it did not come easily. We will share very early on how this journey evolved into our family. Adoption will be celebrated and embraced in our family.

Again, we cannot begin to express our gratitude if you choose us.

Kevin & Ginger
