Meet John and Chrystal

Hello! We are very pleased to have you consider us as adoptive parents. We already enjoy parenting our young son and are excited to add another child to our family to have fun with.

Thank you for making the decision to carry your child. Romans 8:28 says that God causes all things to work together for good, to those who love Him. Despite the difficult situation you face, we believe God will do what he says he will do.

We’ve been married nine years now and have always had fun together. We met at church when our families became friends. We dated and then married in 1998. Three years ago our son was born. We love being parents and can’t wait to add another child to our family. We talk about it often and make plans for when the new baby comes.

As a family we enjoy spending time together. We are physically active with sports and other outdoor activities. We use the gym to swim, play basketball and racquetball and often visit the park to play frisbee golf together. We have been in our house for seven years now. It is a great location in our town as we are accessible to pretty much all that we need. Down the street is one of the leading hospitals in the region (something that you hope you never use, but are glad to have so close), stores, church, family, library, parks and schools. Fifteen new schools are going to be built in our county over the next five years. With those new schools come new teachers, staff and community growth. There are several private schools near our house that we are considering as educational options. Both of us have attended a large local university here, and there are many great colleges and universities within driving distance that offer a wide range of specialties. We will encourage our children to pursue a career that makes them happy and to excel in that profession.

Both of us grew up in the church and have a heritage of pastors and missionaries on both sides of our families. We are very active in church as John plays the drums on Sundays, for the youth on Wednesdays and often in concerts out in the community. I have taught a fitness class through the church as a community outreach for the past six years. As important as involvement in the church is, we want to instill in our children the truth that a personal relationship with God is what will save them. We want them to know that God loves them and that He has good things planned for their lives.

We look forward to hearing from you!
