Dear Birthparent(s),

We honor you and your choice of adoption. We pray for you to stay strong in your faith for it will guide you to the right family. We appreciate the time you are taking to learn about our family and we hope that your decision will bring you peace and comfort.

Our names are Scott & Kristy and we reside in New Jersey. We have known each other for 16 years and have been married for 12 years. We are high school sweethearts and are proud to be happily together for a long time. We both graduated from Villanova University and feel that spirituality and education are important in raising our future adults. We have 4 children; Madeline age 11, Gavin age 9, Miranda age 8 and Sage age 3. Scott is the IT Manager of the Computer department for a large Real Estate/Mortgage/Insurance Company in our area. His office is 2 miles from our home and this makes it extremely convenient for him to participate in activities with the kids after work. Scott volunteers his time to coach soccer teams in our area and those seasons run fall and spring. Scott and I both coach basketball teams for our local recreation department in the winter. I am a stay at home mom and have been since our oldest was born. I absolutely love being home with our kids and we both feel it's important for me to be here for them during and after school. I always make sure we sit down together as a family and have a home cooked meal before our evening begins with sports practices. Scott and I both value that time we have as a family and enjoy discussing the events of our day together. We have a strong extended family influence and we are happy that our extended families participate in the activities of our kids. Any sporting event or activity at school will be attended by most of our kid's grandparents and even great-grandparents. Our children attend elementary school in a wonderful district and we pride ourselves on having small classes and great one on one attention from the staff. I am the chairperson for the Ways and Means Committee for our PTA and also volunteer my time in the schools helping the teachers whenever I can. Our schools offer many different activities for the kids to participate in and our kids do join many of these clubs. We encourage after school clubs for our kids as it keeps them interested in school and the things that the school offers. We have been very blessed with great kids who all love school and are doing very well both academically and socially at school.

We have lived in our home for 7 years and have enjoyed living here each day. We have a beautiful fenced in yard that protects our dogs and kids. Our neighborhood is small and we have a wonderful park next to our home which provides something for everyone.

We have one cat, Meka and two dogs, Natasia and Peta. They enjoy a very relaxed life and receive lots of love from the kids.

Scott & I decided that we would be honored to open our home and hearts to adopting a child that was in need of a loving family. We have been parents for almost eleven years now and we absolutely love it. We feel we have much to offer a child and we would be honored to be given the opportunity to do so. We are very committed to becoming adoptive parents and are looking forward to it.

Sincerely,
