Everyone has their own unique story. It seems, often times, we have to make tough decisions to navigate our own personal journey. No matter where you are in this journey, know that you are doing great. We know these choices before you may seem difficult, overwhelming, or impossible, but know that we have so much respect and admiration for you because you are making these important decisions for you and your family.

Thank you for taking a moment to learn more about us. We don't pretend to know all of the emotions on your heart, but we know that your little one is loved beyond measure. We recognize that this journey may be filled with everything from love to grief, and we are here to listen, answer questions, and champion you throughout this journey. As adoptive parents, we will provide a loving, stable, and nurturing home. We will cheer your child on as they chase and achieve their dreams, whatever those dreams may be. We will be supportive and encouraging parents as your child discovers who they are and determines who they want to be. We will always be open with them about their adoption story to honor both you and their birth family. We look forward to supporting them through all of their ups and downs, and they will always know that they are loved completely by all who are in and a part of their life. Our goal is to help them grow into caring and loving adults who can pour the love you and we will show them out into the world.

Dear expectant parent(s), it's hard to put into words all the things we want to say to you, everything we wish to share with you and how much you, your family and your child already mean to us. So, we will start with hi and thank you. Hi, we are Kelly and Stacy and thank you for taking the time to read our story. We hope it gives you an idea of who we are as a couple but also as individuals. Placing your child for adoption can't be an easy decision to make, but we hope getting to know a little about us helps ease any uncertainty you may be feeling. We are truly grateful for the door's adoption has opened for us to grow our family. Whatever choice you decide to make, it will be the right one for the life growing inside you.

With hope and promise, Jason and Summer

We were both born and raised in Texas. We met 18 years ago, when we were in college. We started dating soon after we met and knew early on that we would end up together. We were married 3 years later. We both come from families that are very close, so we have always wanted kids. Family is extremely important to us. We adopted our first child, Ian through Gladney 3 years ago. He has been the greatest addition to our family and such a joy. We cannot believe what a blessing he is everyday. We are very thankful for the gift of adoption. After going through a forth painful miscarriage, we have decide that we will no longer try to have biological children. This was a difficult decision that we both have grieved but we are to thankful for the gift of adoption. We are excited to start the adoption process again. We are looking forward to seeing what special child God has planned for our family.

We don't know you, but we have thought about you. We're not sure if you'll choose us to become a part of your child's story--your story-- but we want you to know that we respect you and think you are brave. The decision you are working on is one of courage, selflessness, and strength. We imagine that this is a difficult time for you. But we also know that with whatever family you choose, you'll be making a family whole.

We can't know how you're feeling, but we hope that after reading this, you can feel some strength and pride in your journey. We hope you are feeling supported and loved in your decision-making.

We want nothing more than to have a baby, become parents, and raise a family. We've also learned that it's the twists, surprises, and messiness of our stories that makes us vibrant, interesting, and beautiful at the end of the day. Adoption is hard, but it is also vibrant, messy, and beautiful. If you feel we're the right fit for you and your child, know that we are here to support you and embrace the messiness of adoption together. We want our child to know their birth mom, know what her smile looks like, know her laugh, and know that they are loved by you. We want to love and support them as they become their own person and build their own life story. And we'd be honored for you to be a part of that story, if you choose.

Thank you,

Bud & Sara

We want to start by expressing our deep admiration for your courage and strength in considering adoption for your precious child. We know that this decision is not easy, and that we are here to support you every step of the way.

Education is very important to us, and we are committed to providing the best possible education for our children and giving them access to all opportunities.

Every adoption is unique, and we want to work with you to find the right level of communication. We believe that openness can be very beneficial and we are committed to maintaining a positive and healthy relationship.

A mother's love for her child is nurturing, patient, kind, protective, forgiving, and lifelong. Your ability to put those feelings aside for the better of your child is the most amazing sacrifice and act of kindness, love, and protection that I could ever know. I commend you for your courage and for the incredible sacrifice that you are embarking on out of truly unconditional love. If chosen to be your child's adoptive parent, I vow to embrace them with an abundance of love and support for their eternal life.
