Hi and thanks for reading about us!
Getting ready to go to the park
We are Stan, Michelle and Addison and 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 grow our family – hopefully the right family for your child.
Stan 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 WHITE for when I am speaking (Michelle) and BLACK for when it’s me (Stan). For those times when we want to say something together, we have used PURPLE.
We enjoy the fun that life can bring and take every opportunity to laugh and explore the world around us. We adopted our daughter Addison two years ago and are blessed every day with the exciting adventure of being her parents. Over the 12 years that we have been together, we have learned a lot about ourselves and 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 journey. We hope this letter, and the smiles that shine on our faces in our photos, will give you some idea of the loving and secure home we can provide for your child. We look forward to meeting with you, and we would be happy to build a relationship that will last our lifetimes through letters, pictures and visits. We want your child to know as much about their birth family as possible and about 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.
