dear expectant mother

Dear Expectant Mother,

There is no perfect way to convey our feelings of admiration, respect, and appreciation for you. We have been working toward growing our family for several years and consider ourselves so fortunate to be given this opportunity. We promise, if you choose us to provide your baby with everything they need, they will have the best education, a chance to explore their curiosities and find what they are most passionate about, and an endless amount of love and support. More importantly, they will never have to tackle the hardships of life alone.

As a family, we hope to grow together in all aspects of life. We hope to raise children who love to be selfless, but also can be strong and independent in their own right. Evan has been waiting his whole life to share his skills of working on cars, learning how to drive a stick shift, and cooking nutritious and delicious cuisines. Long cannot wait to play sports with your baby, teach them to be bilingual, and create artwork together. Both of us have been fortunate to travel all over the world, and we plan to continue to share our passion for learning new cultures and cuisines with our children in the coming years.

We are ready to grow our family as we still have so much love to give. Once again, thank you for considering us for the chance to provide your baby with a safe, happy, healthy, and successful life.

Love,
Evan, Long, and Riley

About Us

We fell in love eight years ago and have been married for six years now. Our biggest priority has always been family. Long is a family medicine physician who loves taking care of patients, from newborn to the elderly and everyone in between. Evan is currently in school getting his diesel mechanic diploma; he spent last year as a stay-at-home dad with our newborn, Riley. At first meet, people immediately notice our ability to use our individual strengths to support the other’s weaknesses. As a couple, we are excited to settle down with our firstborn and hoping for a sibling soon. We continue to grow and work together to be the best partners and parents we can be. It is our hope to raise a large, beautiful family where our kids are not only happy but successful and prepared for whatever life may bring.

Our Home & Pets

We recently purchased our first home together: a gorgeous lakeside log cabin situated on four acres, where our dog, Maxwell, plays constantly. One of the things we love about our home is the dock we have on the lake and the many summers we will get to watch our kids jump off it and make lasting memories. We look forward to the days when our kids can run around in the sun, learn how to swim in the lake, carve pumpkins for Halloween, and build snowmen or go ice skating.

Our Extended Family

We both have very large extended families. Evan has three brothers and sisters as well as many nieces and nephews. Long only has one brother, but he has 26 uncles and aunts, which means lots of cousins for the kids to play and grow up with!

One of our favorite traditions we have created is embarking on an annual vacation with our extended families. It is something we all look forward to every year, and we cannot wait to include your baby. Getting together with our families means eating lots of delicious homemade foods while the children run around and the adults sing karaoke; both of our mothers are amazing cooks. We love when the sun starts to set because this means it is time for us to sit around the bonfire and reminisce about all the good times we have had.

Our Adoption Story

On our very first date together, Evan took Long on an impromptu trip to explore the views of the city. We each shared our desires to have children and build a family as we explored the city sights and restaurants together. We could have never predicted our dreams would come to fruition. Yet here we are, years later, with our son, Riley. We hope to continue to grow our family and for Riley to have future siblings. It is clear adoption has made our lives that much brighter and happier. We both continue to work hard to provide a beautiful life for our growing family and fill it with adventures, opportunities, and love.
