Dear Birthparents:

Chris and I met in 1999. We did not meet in the conventional manner, as we met on the internet. We dated for approximately six months and then became engaged. We were engaged for a year and then we were married in 2001. The first year and a half we decided to enjoy our marriage and each other. Near the end of 2002 we decided to begin trying to have a baby. We have tried for four years with no success and decided that God must not want us to be blessed with a child of our own, but for us to be a blessing to a child, through adoption.

We live close to my family, here in NC, but Chris’ family is only five hours away in Alabama. We have a close family that enjoys spending time with each other. We get together for all holidays and birthdays and we enjoy just spending time with one another whether or not there is a special occasion.

Both families are very excited about bringing a new addition to the family and are anxiously awaiting an arrival of a child. This child is very much anticipated as there are no local grandchildren in my family. This will be the first grandchild on Chris’ side of the family.

Chris and I own our own home. We have a large fenced-in backyard that would be ideal for a child to play in. Our home has three bedrooms and two and a half baths. Our home is in a neighborhood that has many children in it, yet we live at the end of a road with a cul-de-sac, where there is not much vehicle traffic.

We have a Pomeranian dog named Ginger. We have had her since she was 6 weeks old. She is very loving and great with kids. She is full of energy and spoiled rotten.

We would like to thank you for taking the time to consider us as suitable parents to raise your child. We know that it is a very difficult decision, but in some cases very necessary. We know that God will bless you for choosing life for your child. In Psalms 127:3 it says children are a blessing and a gift from the Lord. We believe that to be true. We will be praying for God to bless and keep you. Thank you again.

Sincerely,
