Dear Birth Parent(s),

Our names are Tim and Gayle. We would like to thank you for taking the time to read our profile and considering us in this difficult decision. We can only imagine how hard it must be for you, and our thoughts and prayers will be with you through this difficult time.

Let us tell you a little bit about ourselves. We have been married for 9 years and believe it or not we actually met in the sixth grade. We remained friends throughout school and stared dating during college. We have been together ever since and we are truly best friends. We are down to earth, fun loving people. We love to travel and can't wait to show your child all the wonderful sights the world has to offer. Although we love to travel, we also love working around our house, playing board games and having family get-togethers.

We love children and it has been a dream of ours to have a family but after years of trying we realized it was God's plan all along for us to adopt and we are truly excited about that plan. We are both prepared to make your child our number one priority.

We believe that raising a child will be the most rewarding job we will ever have. We will provide a safe and nurturing environment as well as providing your child with every opportunity he or she deserves. We will make it our goal to be strong role models and always be there to support him/her in whatever decisions they make throughout their lives. We will always be their number one fan!

Family has always been a very important part of our lives. Our extended families have been anxiously awaiting the day we get that all important phone call. They will also play an important role in the child's life by not only helping to guide us but also spoiling the child any way they can. Tim's mother currently watches his sister's child and looks forward to watching this child as well. Everyone in our families can't wait to take on their role of grandparents, aunts or uncles.

We believe it is the little things in life that matter the most. We can't wait to take our child camping, boat riding, walking on the beach , getting ice cream, going to see Santa, playing in the sandbox, seeing him or her off on the first day of school, our lists could go on and on forever. We look forward to including him/her in all our traditions as well as making many new ones over the years.

We plan on making the adoption story a very important part of the child's life and we will always be sure he/she knows how unselfish and loving you were to allow him/her the opportunity to be a part of our family. We look forward to sending you pictures and letters if you so desire and hope that it will reassure you in your decision.

Thank you again for considering us for this decision. If you choose us to be parents for your child, we will be forever grateful. We have lots of love to give and you will have answered all our prayers.

Thank you with all of our hearts,

Tim & Gayle
