Dear Birthmother,

Thank you for taking time to get to know us.  We have been married for over 10 years and live in Texas with our daughter, Brooke and dog, Ginger.  Unexplained infertility has led us to adoption as the means of growing our family.  We completely trust God, knowing there is a special child waiting to join our family!  We are really looking forward to sharing our life and love with another child.

About Us   
We have a solid marriage, having the same ideas about finances, faith, parenting and morals and values.  We support each other in our work and personal interests, keeping in mind we are individuals as well as a couple. 

Our Christian faith is the foundation of our life and relationships with others.  We regularly attend church as well as small group meetings twice a month with some of our closest friends.

About Stephanie                   
Currently, I work part-time  in accounting for a real estate company where I’ve worked for over 10 years.  The best part of my days are being a wife and mother.  I enjoy planning fun, creative activities for us to do as a family, attending a local mom’s group and spending time with girlfriends.

Some of my hobbies include reading and traveling with John and Brooke, however, my favorite is scrapbooking.  I know that my family will forever cherish the visible legacy of our family life and all the special moments along the way.

About John
I have worked at a consulting firm for over 10 years as a civil engineer.  To give back to the community and especially the kids, I volunteer at the middle school career day and engineering math competition.    I encourage the kids about the importance of school and trying to make a career out of their favorite hobbies, such as I did.

I like to spend my free time either playing golf with my church buddies or at the lake, boating or water skiing with our family.  My favorite times with Brooke are playing at the park and reading books at bedtime.

About Brooke
Brooke is almost five years old and very excited with the idea of being a big sister.  Some words to describe her include sweet, active, funny and intelligent.  She absolutely loves being outdoors with her daddy as well as helping mommy in the kitchen, making jell-o or doing fun craft activities!

Brooke attends a Christian preschool, where she enjoys participating in daily chapel, gymnastics, dress up days, and a variety of holiday and birthday parties.  She is definitely not one to turn down a good party where there’s a chance of scoring some candy or cupcakes!

Our Home and Extended Family
We live in Texas, in a four bedroom, two and a half bath home within walking distance of a park.  Our parents live within driving distance and we see them on a regular basis at holidays, for family birthday dinners and other special occasions. 

During the summer months, we spend a lot of weekends at the family lake house, relaxing and having fun on the boat and doing various water activities.

Our Activities and Traditions
Family time is a real priority for us.  We make regular trips to the park and the zoo, and special trips to the water park and local amusement park. We spend time daily playing games and reading books and sometimes we have breakfast for dinner!  At the holidays, we teach the true meaning of Easter and Christmas but we also look forward to the fun stuff, like getting messy while carving pumpkins or coloring Easter eggs.

This Christmas season, we had fun with 25 different daily activities, from having a red and green dinner to making gifts for the homeless and buying food to donate in a local food drive.

In Closing
We commit to loving your child unconditionally, raising them in a home full of laughter, stability, security and most important, learning about the love of God.  We would be humbled and honored to parent your child, keeping you informed about him or her all along the way via pictures, letters and/or visits if you so desire. Also, we look forward to teaching them about you and the extra special way they came to be part of our family.

Sincerely,
