To the Brave and Courageous Mothers Considering Adoption, We want to start by acknowledging your strength. We understand that the decision you are making is incredibly tough, and we respect whatever choice is best for you. You are incredibly brave, and we are here to support you every step of the way. Thank you for considering adoption. By choosing this path, you are giving the gift of life to a family, and that is an incredibly selfless act driven by pure love for your child. It's important to us that your child knows the depth of your love for them. If you choose us, your child will be welcomed into a safe and loving home. They will gain an older sibling right from the start and, of course, parents who cherish and adore them. We absolutely love being parents and we are so ready to share that love with another addition to our family. As a mother, we respect you. We are committed to being open with our child about their birth mother, who is no doubt a brave and selfless woman. We want our child to be proud of the woman who gave them the opportunity to live this life with us. Your presence in our lives, in whatever way you find fitting, is deeply respected and valued. We do not know you yet, but please know that we think of you and pray for you every day. We think of the courageous woman who will become such a huge part of our lives, and we want to be there for you in any way we can.

My philosophy on parenting is...
Parenting is all about growth. Physically, mentally, and spiritually. It is our responsibility to constantly support our children as they learn, grow, and evolve (and we grow with them). Instilling proper values, we encourage children to embrace their true selves and develop into the individuals they are meant to be.

Everything. I love competing and challenging myself; I love sports!

My neighborhood is a good place to raise a family because…
Our small town is rooted in family values. In our community everyone knows each other, looks out for one another, and has a high moral standard. It’s the perfect place for raising children.
