Our Families Each Thanksgiving
is our family reunion and we take turns having it at each other's homes.
Everyone comes and we have a family golf tournament on the Friday after
Thanksgiving, for whoever wishes to golf, and a shopping day, for those
who wish to shop, unless it's at our family cabin in the mountains, then
it's just playing games, hiking, boating, and relaxing over the weekend.
Everyone on both sides of our families is praying for and looking forward
to having a new child in the family to love and cherish (and spoil). Both
of our families know firsthand the benefits of adoption and the way in
which the adoptive family can thrive as each of us have relatives who
have come into our families through adoption. ... is our friendly, furry, four-legged child, and he and Martin are best friends. He became a part of our family through adoption, as well. Please don't let his name fool you, as that's the name he came with. He is a loving and gentle Black Labrador who loves to be around people and to go for walks and play Frisbee. He also enjoys a swim in the lake and to laze around the house. He will be a wonderful companion to our child.
Our Neighborhood
We believe in raising a child guided by love, consistency, understanding, support, positive reinforcement, openness, honesty, and trust. We believe the two most important lessons for a child to learn are responsibility and respect. We wish them to respect themselves, their family, their community, their environment, and God. We will teach them the importance of good manners and good humor. We've always believed that having at least one parent home at all times is extremely important in the child-raising process. We know it is imperative to be positive role models. We know that every child is unique and will encourage our children to pursue whatever interests they enjoy, at their own pace. We place a high value on education and hope to instill in them the motivation to learn, to read, and to dream. We are fortunately able to send our children to the best schools possible and will encourage them to be happy in their educational and career pursuits. We believe a strong sense of family is invaluable and will plan to adopt a second child in the near future so that your child will know the love and friendship of a brother or sister. We plan to raise our children in the Christian faith. If you would like more information about our family or
