Dear Birthmother/Birthparents,

Hello. Our names are Tracy and Vince. We would like to thank you for taking the time to learn about us. We have a tremendous amount of respect and admiration for you. We understand that this is a challenging time for you but we know that God will guide you through this and help you with your decision.

Our story began in March of 1997. Vince and I met in York, Pennsylvania where we were both attending college. I was studying Recreational Therapy and Early Childhood Education and Vince was an Accounting Major getting ready to graduate and continue on for his Masters Degree in Management. After we both graduated and dated for a year and a half, we became engaged in December of 1998. We planned our wedding over the next 17 months and officially tied the knot on May 6, 2000. I worked as a preschool teacher for the next four years and Vince began his career in accounting at a CPA firm. We bought our first place and tried to conceive our first child. After many failed attempts and working closely with a fertility specialist, we were overjoyed to find out that in October of 2001 we were pregnant with our daughter Mackenzie. I am so thankful for my time as a preschool teacher which better prepared me to be a mother. Mackenzie entered the world on July 6th 2002. It was truly one of the single happiest days of our lives. Recovering from a c- section seemed like nothing looking at how cute she was and what a miracle we were given. Mackenzie is a very happy, sociable and funny little 4 year old. She has been longing for quite some time for a sibling of her own. Her single most wish is to be a big sister. We have struggled over the past couple of years trying to become pregnant yet again only to experience two miscarriages in a row. We have tried to see the positive side of each experience and try to understand why this has happened to us. We believe that everything happens for a reason and God has a plan for us all. We have looked into adoption for quite sometime and have realized that this is the path that is meant for our family.

As a family we are in a very good place right now. We have moved to North Carolina where we are very happy. We are living in a house which includes our two cats Toby and Maddie and our Black Labrador retriever, Sophie. Our pets are as much family members as our daughter. Vince has a wonderful job in Accounting at a Bank and I am very fortunate to be afforded the opportunity to be a stay at home mom to Mackenzie. Mackenzie is attending a Christian School in the area that will allow her the opportunity for a wonderful education. She is also playing soccer and Vince plays an active role by being her team's coach. We will provide your child with the same opportunities. Our wish is to give them a lifetime of unconditional love, happiness and opportunity for a bright future.
