Dear Birthmother
You must be feeling a lot of different emotions as you try to make the best decisions for you and your baby. We look forward to the possibility of connecting with you and sharing in this journey. We want the best for you and your baby, and we are grateful you have taken the time to get to know a little about us. Whatever challenges you may be facing, our family is a loving, ready option for you and your child.
We dream of having another kid to share games, bedtime stories, and silly songs with Carissa and us. We will love your child completely, and we will always cherish you and your love for them as well. While we cannot truly know your experience, we fully relate to the love of another human being and wanting the best for those you love. We wish you the best and are here for you in whatever capacity you need, whether that is an open adoption or closed. We want you to find peace in the process and to know that we will always feel a special connection and unspeakable gratitude toward you. We will raise our child knowing we'll never replace your love but expand upon it in the most authentic way we can.
Our Home
We live in a diverse, family-friendly town with tons of parks, children's museums, and other places to play and learn. Our welcoming home has a recent addition for more room to play. Though we've added indoor space, much of the fun is outside, where we have several acres, garden beds, a playset, a music studio in the barn, and a path through the field that leads to Lizzy's parents' house next door. Because we both teach, Lizzy's parents watch our daughter, Carissa, during the day. They also watch two of Carissa's cousins, and plan to help with future grandchildren, too. Our close-knit families are always happy to help each other out. We have a cat, Winky, whom Carissa loves to play with and follow around.
Our Family
We cherish memories we made with grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins as we grew up. We're lucky to have Lizzy's parents, Chris's twin, and Lizzy's sister and their families all nearby. Though other siblings live in California, Alabama, and Virginia, we're happy to host them or to visit when we can. We also enjoy hosting our nieces for Cousin Camp every few months.
We love to travel to see family and friends or to visit cool state and national parks to hike and run. We also love to play music and games together. One of our favorite activities is gathering for holidays, including trick-or-treating, celebrating Christmas and Hanukkah with Lizzy's family, and our famous New Year's Olympics, when we spend hours playing games with Chris's extended family.
