Like so many who turn to adoption, we had many unsuccessful, painful years of trying. We wanted children - four, was our plan, but that wasn't meant to be. We had eight miscarriages and it was a very dark time for us. Because of this difficult season, we are fully aware of how deeply special adoption is, and don't take the decision for ourselves, or birth parents as a lighthearted matter. There is no greater gift a parent could give to another. We are so deeply grateful to Nathan's birth mother - there are simply no words to express our unfathomable gratitude and appreciation. We know adoption is a loving sacrifice and how much it means, on both sides.
Although we know now four children is not likely to happen for us (and we are absolutely okay with that) we would like to grow our family one more time. Having a sibling is wonderful and we want that experience for our kids. We would love to be part of your plan.
We are excited to share our values and the lessons we have learned with our children. Some of those values include the importance of a good education, working hard for what you have, learning to appreciate the simple things in life and treating others with kindness and respect.
We are grateful for your time in considering us. We do hope you would like to explore this relationship further, and would be thrilled with the opportunity to discuss it with you. We are open to an ongoing relationship after an adoption has completed, should you desire that. We feel it’s important for our children to know and understand their roots and personal history. Our prayers are with you during this very difficult time. We wish you well and hope you find peace and confidence in the choice you make for your child.
Please feel free contact us anytime to ask us any questions. This is a huge decision, we understand that. We want anyone and everyone to feel like they can talk with us. Even if your just curious!
