Dear Expectant
Mother
Choosing a family worthy of the precious gift and responsibility of
parenting your baby will most likely be the hardest decision you will
ever make. It would be our greatest joy and honor to be chosen to love
and nurture your child. After five and a half years of love and laughter,
we've built a strong marriage through faith in God, commitment to each
other and financial security. But when we were ready to start our family,
God had other plans. So after thoughtful consideration and prayer we chose
adoption.
Let
us tell you how it all began. We met on the dance floor about six years
ago and two-stepped our way up the aisle a year later. Life only gets
better when you spend it with your best friend, lover and life long partner.
Our personalities are complimentary. Chuck loves to stick to a schedule,
while Jill is more spontaneous and fun loving. As a couple we enjoy cooking
dinner, sharing household responsibilities, relaxing at the beach, taking
walks, traveling, playing games, going to the movies, dancing and having
family get-togethers. Attending church is always a priority on Sundays.
We believe in the importance of education. Jill completed her Masters
degree in Speech/Language pathology and teaches in an elementary school.
She participates as an advisor in many child-oriented activities such
as Student Government, Youth leadership and the school musical. There
is no doubt that our child will be well educated, well spoken and have
an appretiation of the arts! Chuck also has a bachelors degree in business
and in his ninth year as a mortgage loan consultant. He likes staying
busy with projects around our house such as designing and building our
deck. He is looking forward to putting his woodworking skills to use on
a swingset and sandbox.
We
have been truly blessed. We have a wonderful marriage, successful careers,
a beautiful home in a neighborhood full of children, a large yard for
play and wonderful grandparents hoping for more grandchildren. While Jill
is planning to stay home full time for at least one year after we adopt,
Chuck's flexible schedule will allow him to take some time off to help
care for our new baby too. Our families and friends are very supportive
of our decision to adopt a child. Jill traveled to China two years ago
with her sister who adopted a baby girl! So she knows what 3:00 am feedings
and diapers are all about!
We have so
much love to share with a child and like to partner with you in the adoption
process. We respect your decidsion to follow your heart and pray that
God will give you the strength and courage to do with love what is best
for your child. We would like to talk with you.
