Dear Birth Parent(s),

We want to thank you for taking the time to learn a bit about us. We hope that you find what you are looking for. We have been praying for you and you families for many months. We pray that this situation will bring you closer to God and that He will bring you peace in your decision. May God bless you mightily as you walk this path. We want you to know that we have a strong, healthy marriage deeply rooted in our faith in God. Our love for each other runs very deep and our marriage is filled with that mutual love for each other and for God. We believe that God provides children as a special gift and we are very anxious to share our lives with a child. As parents, we will raise our child in a Christian home surrounded by love and Christian values.

We have been married for 8 years. We meet in college through mutual friends. It was love at first sight! We dated for nearly 6 years until we were finished with college and settled in jobs. We both adore children. Buffy has been a local babysitter since junior high and many of the dates that Tony and Buffy shared were babysitting jobs. The children adored the times when Tony showed up to play! He is even more fun then Buffy!

Our best times are our times spent together. Whether it is our early morning walk together or lying in bed at night reading, as long as we do it together it is special. We enjoy working around our house, in the yard and the garden. We love vacationing at the beach with our family. We enjoy having friends over for a picnic and going for hikes in the mountains. We are anxious to include a child in our lives.

We have struggled with infertility for many years. We know that God put this desire to be parents in our hearts. We have prayed for God's guidance and feel this is the path He is urging us to take.

We both grew up in loving, Christian homes. Our families are very close to us and we enjoy spending time with them whether it is Sunday dinner, holidays, vacations or just a walk around the neighborhood.

Our family also includes a little dog named Turtle. He always enjoys a visit from our little friends and our nephew. He is awaiting a baby to our home too! Tony is employed in the family business. He is working towards his MBA and should be finished soon. Tony is an excellent provider giving up things that he may want to do so that he can do for others. He is strong and emotionally supportive of Buffy and their marriage. Tony is a very patient, gentle, kind, and loving man. He is hardworking and very determined in everything that he does! He never gives up and strives to be the best he can be in all that he undertakes. He is helpful and generous often mowing the elderly neighbor's grass or taking off work to drive her to the doctor. Tony is the most generous and kind hearted person.

Tony enjoys exercising, bike riding, and working around the house and yard. He can often be found fixing up and old piece of furniture or working in the garden. He enjoys golfing and swimming and watching his favorite sports team on TV. He also enjoys his time spent volunteering with the youth of our church.

Tony is devoted and loving and will make a terrific dad! He is eager to share his life with a child!

Buffy is a school teacher currently teaching middle school. She has taught all grade levels from preschool to 8th grade and loved each one! Helping children and guiding them through the learning process of life is her passion. She can not wait to share that with a child!

Buffy is caring, compassionate, loving and dedicated. She is hard working and gives of herself 100%. Each of her students gets her love, attention and concern. No child is allowed to "get lost in the shuffle". She is motivated to be the best she can be for her students. She can be found sitting at lunch with a student, cheering them on at a basketball game, prompting lines in drama club or encouraging someone to express their true talent. Time spent supporting her students in not wasted time. They know and see the value that she sees in each of them.

Buffy enjoys exercising, listening to Christian music, cooking, working in the garden and swimming. She enjoys dinners with close friends and spending time worshipping with Tony.

Buffy will make a wonderful mom, providing a child with love, care and guidance. She is eager to share her life with a child! We are both Christians active in our church. We believe that God has put the desire for us to be parents in our hearts. We also believe that He is guiding us down this road to adoption. We have dedicated our lives to the Lord and decisions are not made without prayer. God is first and foremost in our lives. God has blessed us greatly and we are humbled by His love and mercy and thankful for His acceptance of us.

Our home is a two story cape-cod style house. It has four bedrooms, two baths and a fenced in yard. We are within walking distance of schools, parks and playgrounds. Our neighborhood is quiet with tree lined streets, sidewalks and streetlights to enjoy a late evening walk or bike ride. We can walk to Buffy's parents' home or her brother's family home. We love being within walking distance of family.

We thank you for taking the time to read about and learn about us. We continue to pray for you and your family as you travel this road. Please know that if you should choose us, we will be the best Christian parents that we can be, providing your child with love, care and support. We have spent our lives following the Lord's leading and will continue to do so. We are financially, emotionally and spiritually stable, ready and willing to parent a child.

You will always have a special place in our hearts. We will be eternally grateful that you followed the Lord's leading to enable us to be parents. Your selfless act of love will forever be in our hearts. We will continue to pray for God's peace and mercy in your life.

In Him,
