Dear Birth Parent(s),

Thank you for reading about us and considering us for receiving the most wonderful gift you could ever give another-life. By enabling us to become parents for your child-you are making our dreams come true. We know the decision you are considering for your child is a difficult one, but it shows strength of character and strong will to ensure a wonderful future for your child. We promise you your child will know how much you loved them and what a gift you gave to them and to us. We are happy to share pictures and letters with you while your child grows. We will give your child an incredible life and be thankful each day for being parents once again. We went through infertility treatment that was unsuccessful and since having a child was our ultimate goal, we decided to choose adoption. Adopting Kierah has been the best experience of our lives and we look forward to adding to our family again. We both come from very close families and have always wanted to be parents. We truly believe there is a "divine plan" for every family and part of our plan to be blessed with more children is through someone wonderful like you.

Our love for each other is vigorous, which makes our marriage very special. We know one of the best gifts we can give our children is showing them how much we love and appreciate one another. We have been happily married for four years and know we have found our forever. We are fun loving, easy going and adventurous. We love being together and laugh A LOT…we approach life very positively. We are happy doing active outdoor things and entertaining but also really enjoy a relaxing evening in our home having dinner and watching movies in our family room (including Appie, our dog.) Gavin loves working in our home-we have enjoyed remodeling it, re-doing nearly the whole thing! Cyndie loves to cook and we entertain most weekends in the summer normally trying something she's never made before. It's more fun not knowing how it will taste! Cyndie enjoys the peacefulness of the lake in the morning and also all the fun things we do on the lake in all seasons. Sunday mornings are the best! We get up early, and enjoy Gav's favorite…Breakfast at the local diner for the three of us. We both look forward to being involved in children's sports and activities and coaching their teams as well! What a great thing to do providing children the opportunity to participate and then watching them learn, grow and gain confidence to give them important life skills.

Our families are very important to us and very supportive-they are all so excited about a new addition you'd think they were adopting! Our family get togethers are always loud with a great deal of laughter, memory making and storytelling-child hood memories sometimes told a million times but still seem like yesterday…those are the family gatherings that will be part of your child's future.

We are lucky enough to have flexible jobs. Cyndie can work from home and she also expects to work reduced hours after the new "little person" arrives!

We think Patience, love, laughter and communication are essential in life for all relationships, but especially with children…we will be sure they know that no matter what, they can always come to us, we will always listen and always love them-unconditionally. We may not always like a decision they may make, or something they have done, but we will always work through it with them and we will be sure they always feel our love.

We love learning and experiencing new things-we love to visit new places. We have been able to travel a lot and see many places. We want the same for children- to experience the wonders of America-the Grand Canyon and Disney World and see other wonderful places outside of America. We want to share that with your child.

We also consider education an important opportunity that should be provided to every young adult. Your child will have the opportunity to attend college.

We will give your child a life of love, learning, fun family adventures and do what it takes to provide them all the opportunity to be successful and be whatever they want to be loving them every step of the way!!

All our love,

Gavin & Cyndie
