We are Misty and Jeremy. Thank you for reading about us. We hope and pray that you have all the support and encouragement that you need during this challenging time. Although we may not understand what you are feeling personally, we want you to know that we are amazed by your strength and courage. Your love and dedication to your child is obvious and will never be forgotten. We believe that adoption is the most loving and generous act a parent can do for a child. If you choose us to parent your child, we promise to provide your child with security, wonderful experiences and a never-ending supply of unconditional love.
We have been married for almost four years now and we know how lucky we are to have the life that we dreamed of with each other. We love and respect each other whole-heartedly and we are the best of friends. We have an incredible time together and we are constantly making each other laugh. It is our belief that a marriage should be fun, and our marriage is definitely fun! The moments we share together are filled with love and laughter. Our commitment to each other is strong and deep.
We are blessed to have a solid marriage, a supportive family, and financial stability. We are fortunate to have had a child in our life on a full time basis. Jeremy's daughter, Kendra, is a compassionate, loving child who can't wait to be a big sister. She lived with Jeremy full time before we met, and she has lived with us ever since. She has filled our life with pride and joy. We both feel as if we are natural parents, and that parenting is what God wants us to do. We dream of raising a baby together. However, we have suffered three heartbreaking miscarriages. These were the worst times of our life, but it has made us stronger as a couple. We believe that God's plan for our life includes the adoption of a baby.
Living life to the fullest is what we do best! We love to celebrate holidays with family traditions and fun activities. Every Christmas Eve, we give each other a new pair of warm pajamas and we make hot chocolate and leave cookies out for Santa. For Easter, we gather with our families and have Easter egg hunts. During the summer, we go on weekend getaways to water parks, zoos and beaches. And sometimes, we just stay at home and play board games such as Monopoly and Uno or go for bike rides around the neighborhood. We sit down together for dinner each night and discuss everyone's day. No matter how busy life gets, we always make family time a priority.
If you choose us to parent your child, we can assure you that your child will be given a life full of unconditional love and support. Not only will we be there to celebrate your child's every success, but we will also be right there to provide guidance and comfort during difficult times. We will allow this child endless opportunities to develop his or her talents and passions in life. Whether it's ballet, soccer, swimming, or karate; we will be your child's biggest fan and source of encouragement. Education will be valued and emphasized in our home. Our schools are highly rated for academic achievement and incorporate an up to date curriculum that is consistent with national standards.
Since Misty is a teacher, your child would be able to attend the elementary school that she works at. But until then, your child will be cared for by the best baby sitter in the world. Her name is "Grammy-Jo" and she is Misty's mother and a retired school teacher.
We are hoping and praying that our dreams of having a baby might someday come true. We would love to learn more about you and answer any questions that you have about us or our lifestyle. Please let us know what your hopes and dreams are for your child and we will ensure that they come true. We would like to share pictures and letters with you as your child grows. We understand that this is a difficult time for you, and we will always tell your child that this decision was a loving, courageous, and brave one. You will forever be in all our hearts and prayers.
