Meet Matt & Beth

We admire you and your choice of adoption. Thank you so much for taking the time to read our letter and learn more about who we are. We hope it will give you insight into the loving environment we hope to share with a child.

We reside in Virginia where Matt is a full-time Youth Pastor, and Beth works as a secretary at the same church. We have been married for 3 years now and knew each other for 2 years before that. We are pursuing adoption as we are unable to have children of our own and are grateful for this opportunity to share a little about ourselves with you.

After Matt graduated from High School, he started pursuing a degree in Music Education, but 5 years ago, the Lord led him in a different direction towards full-time ministry. He is now working on his Bachelor’s Degree in Biblical Studies with a concentration in Theology. Beth has a Business Management degree and worked for several years as an office manager at an elementary school before their ministry began at the church where they are now. She is also pursuing a certification in Christian Counseling and looks forward to being a full-time stay-at-home mom when we have a child.

We live in a spacious 4 bedroom ranch home with plenty of room for growth! It sits on a couple acres of land with a huge back yard that our dogs love to play in. Beth had Baxter (the big dog) & Sam (the cat) before we were married. Since then, we have added Mordecai (the ferret), Roy (the little dog), and some fish to our family. We have found that our pets really break the ice when we are ministering to the youth in our church. They love them!

We live in a wonderful, rural neighborhood with a great elementary school right down the road and there are children all around us. We are blessed with a wonderful church family who loves us and can’t wait to see our prayers for a child answered.

We truly are best friends and spend most of our free time together. We share the same morals and values and have a great understanding of each other and what we hope to get out of life and our marriage. We want to bring up our children with solid Christian values. We want them growing up understanding the importance of keeping God at the center of their lives. Honesty and integrity are on that list of values as well. We want our children to be raised knowing the clear difference between right and wrong, and the importance of showing compassion and love to everyone despite differences. We want our children to be of good moral and ethical character. We will promote these by trying to model them in our own lives.

Thank you for taking the time to consider helping us to complete our family. If you choose us, the baby will know from the beginning how it became a member of our family and that this is truly a story of love and courage. We hope that you will feel peace and that the love of our Heavenly Father will comfort you through your decisions.

God Bless You,
