Dear Birthmother,

God has always had an adoption plan for our family. He brought us together eleven years ago and blessed us with financial stability, compassionate family, and a network of supportive friends. We are thrilled to share our experiences with you so you can make the best decision for your daughter.

About Us

We met in college and became study partners, both having one year old sons from previous marriages. Two years later, we married and blended our families. After having one son, we couldn’t have more children but wanted a daughter to complete our family. We are best friends and enjoy spending time together, reading, playing with our children, and traveling.

Our family places a priority on education and homework. Music lessons, sporting activities, and travel are all beneficial to our children, too. Church is important to us so we participate in Sunday school and attend church services together.

Al

When I met Al, I loved his personality! He was the funniest person I had ever met. I was impressed by his intelligence and down-to-earth nature. I treasure watching him with our children. He is so patient and loving! When I am tired, he makes dinner and puts the kids to bed. I respect Al because he loves all of our children equally. Although Austin is not his son, he has never treated him any differently.

Al spent four years in the Army before college. After graduation, he taught middle school for two years. He has now found a more rewarding career as a route salesman. Because he goes to work early, he’s home in the afternoon with the children.

Karyn

Karyn helps lead our family by example with hard work and a caring nature. She loves to play hostess and entertain. Karyn is a good mother because she offers our kids a variety of cultural experiences and opportunities for community involvement. She always has something exciting planned for our family to try together.

Karyn always knew that she wanted to be a special education teacher. She has three degrees in education. She spent ten years in the classroom and now spends her day working with the teachers. She’s home every holiday and summers with the kids.

The Boys

Austin is fourteen years old and a freshman in high school. He’s responsible and we can always count on him to do the right thing. He is interested in music and takes guitar lessons. He’s a wonderful big brother and looks forward to having a sister.

Thomas is fourteen years old and in eighth grade. He’s easy going, relaxed, and likes to experience new things. He has taken piano lessons, plays baseball, and is on the school football team.

Quint’s nine years old and in fourth grade. He is the mischievous one who likes to joke around. In school, he makes straight A’s but can be the class clown. He plays piano and football for the county. He would like to have a sister so he can teach her to enjoy music, too.

Our Family

Karyn has a large family that lives within driving distance. We have Easter egg hunts, July 4th cookouts, and Thanksgiving dinner. Christmas Eve is spent attending church together before opening presents. Although Al’s family is smaller and farther away, we call regularly, just to keep up with what is going on!

On Thanksgiving morning, the family serves the community by delivering meals to those in need. For Christmas, we have the children pick out gifts for others and deliver them to the church.

Our Home

We live in a five bedroom home with a loft for the children and recreation room, too. Our home’s in a safe neighborhood that has a pool and activity field. The school district wins awards for excellence. Our city is close to the zoo, aquarium, Six Flags, and historical sites. We have a lake nearby where we take the children to boat and swim.

With Thanks

It is our hope that the picture we painted of our family has encouraged you to contact us with any of your questions. We would be grateful if you considered us for raising your daughter and promise to parent her with love and laughter.

We believe in honesty and intend to share the joy of our adoption with your child. We would continue to share her life with you through letters and photos. We pray for you as you embark on this journey and look forward to hearing from you.

Affectionately,
