Hi Mama! First, we want to say “thank you” for taking the time to read our letter to learn a little more about us. We can’t fully know what you are going through, but please know we so very respect you, your bravery, and your heart for your baby. It takes great courage to consider an adoption plan, and we are in awe of you. We have full confidence you will choose whoever you feel would be in the best interest of your baby to serve as your baby’s adoptive parents, and we are thinking of you in this difficult decision. Cole and I have been married for six years. You will read in our profile book about our coffeeshop love story (think Hallmark Christmas special 😊), but we will say how much we have grown in our relationship with each other these six years married. Adoption is something I have known I would be doing since I was young when I found out I cannot have biological children, and I knew whoever I married would need to be passionate about adoption too. Into my life walked Cole. Cole also has a heart for adoption, as he had an opportunity as a teen to interact with children in orphanages in Haiti while I was also interacting with children in orphanages in Mexico on missions trips, which led both of us to have a heart for adoption. When we married, Cole was fully onboard and passionate about adoption as our future, and we began this process five years ago by fundraising for a few years. We are truly so blessed by such supportive family and friends, as they are all so very excited for us to adopt. As you will see in our profile book, we have a furrbaby named Chamo (“Dude” in Venezuelan slang). I was a high school Spanish teacher for 10 years before I became a bilingual pediatric nurse, so of course he needed a Spanish name! His middle name is Guau (“Woof”)…our nieces and nephew think it is hysterical that his name is literally “Dude Woof”. He adores children and is beloved by the family and community, and is excited to be a “big brother”! We live in a small town in Central Pennsylvania. Central Pennsylvania is a lovely mix of green mountains, farm fields, adorable towns, nearby cities, and a beautiful blend of diversity. Our pool serves as one of our favorite spots to host our family, friends, and neighbors, and our pool vacuum we named Bruce (inspired by Finding Nemo) keeps it spruced up for hosting. We hope to connect with you soon, and we look forward to getting to know you! The amount of communication would be up to you and what is best for you and your preferences, but if chosen you would be a cherished part of our family. We are also more than happy to answer any additional questions you may have! Blessings to you and yours, with love,

Sarah & Cole
