Hi and thanks for reading about us!

We are waiting to open our hearts, family and home to a new life. We appreciate the difficult decision you are making and we admire your courage to consider adoption. We hope reading about us will give you a sense of who we are, how we live and why we want to become parents – hopefully the right parents for your child.

We enjoy the fun that life can bring and take every opportunity to laugh and explore the world around us. Over the ten years that we have been together, we have learned a lot about ourselves and each other, and as a team we have built a home full of love. Together we have overcome personal challenges, like infertility, and become stronger as individuals and as a couple. Through hard work and commitment, we have gained a deep respect and lasting love for each other. We will raise your child with that same respect and love and a focus on developing their individuality and helping them achieve their fullest potential. We want your child to be surrounded by warmth, security, affection and laughter.

Although we can’t begin to know the journey that has brought you to us, we want to offer you encouragement, support and open communication throughout your pregnancy.  We hope this letter will give you some ideas of the loving and secure home we can provide for your baby. We look forward to meeting with you and your family, and we would be happy to build a relationship that will last our lifetimes with letters, pictures and visits. It is important to us that we work with you to create an adoption plan that is comfortable for everyone. We want your baby to know as much about their birth family as possible and how much he or she is loved. As you read about us, please consider allowing us to welcome your child into our warm-hearted family.

Michelle and I wanted to give you the opportunity to hear both our voices in this letter. We both have so much to say to you so we have used PURPLE for when I am speaking (Michelle) and BLUE for when it’s me (Stan). For those times when we want to say something together we have used BLACK.
