We recognize that a difficult decision is before you. You have created an adoption plan and now you have to select from many couples to find the perfect fit. Who will love and care for your child as much as you? We pray that you to keep an opened heart and mind as you review the profiles and make the best plan for your child.
Hello, our names are William and Ronda. We were married 3 1/2 years ago in a lovely Roman Catholic Church in Michigan, Ronda's home state. William has one son who we see on the weekends. Skylar brings us a lot of joy, but we feel our family is still not complete. After several attempts to have a biological child, we feel God has led us to adoption to complete our family. This is a path that has opened our hearts and minds. We are enjoying the journey and can't wait until a child is placed with our family.
Our family - those two little words mean many things. For us it includes not only those whom live under our roof, but our relatives and friends. Let's start with our relatives. Both sides of our families are positively ecstatic that we are adopting. Ronda has 30 cousins and counting. Five have been adopted with all but one under 5 years old. Her family consists of people with a mix of ethnic background like Caucasian, African American, Hispanic, Chinese, Indonesian and Israeli. William's side is smaller, but very supportive. His son Skylar can’t wait to have a younger brother or sister. He enjoys teaching the younger children at karate and recently has been going through his old toys to set some aside for his future brother or sister.
Skylar is a wonderful, happy and healthy 12 year old boy on the edge of his teen years. We get to enjoy him on the weekends. He loves space, aliens and trying to catch geckos in our backyard. He is first chair in his school band and can't wait to return to summer camp to learn about video game creation and robotics. He is courteous, kind and respectful, but definitely a 12 year old boy, especially his humor. This is one of our favorite things about Skylar. He often laughs out loud. His humor is very similar to William's, for example both can be watching The Simpsons or Futurama and laugh at the same moments.
The other family we must mention is friends, especially the ones from the school where William and Skylar take karate. This group of friends are all focused on supporting one another and learning from each other. At least once a month we have a potluck, picnic, or some other special event. The school teaches 5 basic concepts: morality,
honesty, perseverance, respect and restraint. These morals we hope to instill in your child.
We will provide your child with a safe and happy home filled with love, security, morals, respect and kindness. We look forward to growing with your child and supporting individual interests and hobbies.
You will receive photographs and letters showing how the child is adjusting to our home. We will work with your child to help them understand about adoption through children's stories. Ronda often writes little stories for her nieces and nephews and is already thinking of how an adoption story will go for your child. Rest assured, your selfless and loving decision to choose adoption will be the key to the story.
Since education is extremely important to us, we are planning to rearrange our working schedules to allow Ronda to stay home with your child. As the child grows, we want to provide as much opportunity for education as
possible. We feel education does not only occur in the classroom, but in the world around. We plan to provide private schooling for the child and lots of travel. We both enjoy visiting historical places. There is nothing like learning about the Constitution when you're actually standing in front of it.
We are fortunate to live near wonderful children's museums, zoos and amusement parks. We look forward to the day we can take the child to Disneyland to see Mickey Mouse and ride It's a Small World ride over and over and over and over (or maybe we will take turns!).
We offer you our sincerest thanks for reading about us. Whether you select us or not, we hope our profile helped you make a decision about what is important for your child. We pray for you to be comfortable with the choices you will make.
