Dear Birthmother,

It is with love and hope in our hearts that we write you. Thank you for taking your time to consider us as an adoptive family.  We are excited about the opportunity to expand our family through adoption, and value God’s grace in leading us in this journey from infertility to adoption.  As a family, we offer abundant love, joy, education, faith, security and a big brother.

About Us:
We met six years ago, while serving on a ministry team of young adults at our catholic church.  Soon, we developed a deep friendship through our shared values and commitment to family, faith and community.  After that it was easy and natural to fall in love!  Together, we enjoy running, sharing ideas, music, cooking, travel, and exploring new adventures like kayaking or attending air shows. We’ve shared almost five years together in marriage and feel we are grounded in unity, love and faith.  Adoption holds a special place in our hearts for many reasons, and now that we have experienced secondary infertility in trying to have another child we are thrilled to be expanding our family through adoption.

About Vida:
Vida instantly draws people to him with his warmth.  Leadership, loyalty and love guide all of his actions.   His enthusiasm and optimism for life are infectious.  At work, supervisors and co-workers always seem to turn to Vida due to his even temperament and ability to find creative solutions to problems. 

Vida has a keen intellect, runs often, and is a fantastic basketball player.  He loves learning, and is highly educated.  He also enjoys reading about politics, parenting and science fiction.

But, I think Vida’s greatest calling in life, is that of father.  From the moment Noah was born, Vida was changing diapers, soothing and playing with him. Now they run around the house together playing super hero with capes on.  He always makes us feel loved and a priority!

About Debra:
Debra is a wonderful mother, tremendous wife, and my best friend. Her greatest attribute is her heart, and she is compassionate in every way. She earned a master’s degree in marriage and family therapy, and worked for many years counseling abused children, and serving families in need.

Debra is now a full time mother and devotes herself to motherhood, engaging Noah in many different enrichment activities, organizing play groups, and mentoring other mothers.

She loves to create in the kitchen, too, feeding our family healthy meals. She is athletic, loves to run, travel, create pottery, participate in church activities and read for fun.

I could not ask to be married to a better woman; she is warm, kind, loving, creative, and I am grateful everyday to have her in my life as a wife and as a mother to our son, Noah.

About Noah:
Noah is three, and such a lovable child.  Not only does he make friends everywhere he goes, but he LOVES babies, and we think he would cherish the role of big brother. 

He enjoys music and art, tumbling, and playgroups, as well as reading, laughing and teasing his mom and dad!

Our Family Time:
We feel that family time and traditions creates happy memories and important life lessons for our children.  We’re an active family, but enjoy the simplicity of home, too.   Most evenings are spent cooking, praying and dining together, then sharing the special gifts that family offers like spontaneous giggling, singing and silliness!!!   We do have fun together, and look forward to enveloping another child into the mix!  We really love adventure, too, and get away regularly to interesting local and far away destinations.

Our Home and Community:
We reside in a diverse community in Virginia.   Beautiful trees surround our home and many parks are nearby.  Our neighborhood is very safe, full of friendly neighbors with children, dogs, churches, and quality schools.   Our home has three bedrooms, three baths, a family room, and ample room for our family to grow.  Our yards are enclosed, providing security and safety for outside play.

In Closing:
Thank you for taking the time to learn about us.   It is important to us that your child understands the adoptive experience, and to lovingly support him or her in that journey.  To that end, we would be happy to stay in contact through letters and pictures, and possibly visits. 

We consider it a privilege to have your time as you decide what’s best for your unborn baby.
