dear expectant mother

To our future amazing expectant Mother,

Ironically we are initially at a loss for words starting this letter, teary eyed, doing that ugly cry where your tears mix with your runny nose, after a few minutes once our eyes are clear enough to continue writing and gather our composure so here it goes. Thank you for considering us to be a candidate for your child that is to come.

The immense pain, struggle and strength that one must endure to have to make a decision that you are making is admirable, and one very few people know and experience first hand. One of us has taken 25+ years to write a thank you letter to our birth mother that will gladly be shared when the right time permits. Birth mothers will always maintain a special place in our hearts and we will ensure that the child always does the same.

It would be a dream come true and a full circle moment to adopt a child and complete our little family.

About Us

Eric is currently in the Army National Guard as well as a car salesman full time. Together we run an online business selling books to the masses. Joey is currently in school full time for Nursing and Business as well as keeping a PRN status with a medical company that he has been in for over 10 years. Joey is also a Navy & Army veteran. We truly love spending any free time that we have with family and friends. Our family enjoys hosting weekly card games of hand and foot and impromptu game nights. Any chance we can spend time with our nieces and nephews we will take a day time excursion. We also support their games, birthdays, recitals or any big lifetime events. We also like to travel statesides in trying to visit all 50 states together before we are 50, but plan to travel abroad as well.

Our Home & Pets

Virginia is for lovers and where we call Home Sweet Home. It is one of the most diverse places a person can live. At any given time we can head to the beach and put our feet in the sand. We can quickly visit town center or head for a short drive to Washington D.C. or a little more north to get our big city fix. If we want to see the mountains or go hiking we only have to head to the blue ridge mountains. There are 84 schools in our home district. We forget to mention that one of us was a teacher for almost 10 years and a few other family members are currently, or were part of, the local school system. Our ranch house style house is located in close proximity to family, shopping, outdoor activities, friends and is filled with our three dogs Dash, CoCo and Kona Mae Sue.

Our Extended Family

Our extended nuclear family and tribe is how we know that the time is now and we are ready for this next milestone in our journey to starting our family. 95% of our family lives within a 25 minute radius and couldn’t be more thankful that everyone is close by. We take turns hosting holiday family gatherings at different family homes. We also enjoy getting together with our family around our area to explore Hampton Roads. We eventually plan to take our family gatherings across the states. We are waiting till the little ones are older so they can enjoy and have life long memories that we will hold in our hearts. Family time is so important to us that we all rotate being present at our nephew’s sports games. We are setting the precedence that someone will always be present.

What Led Us To Adoption

Mother Teresa once said, “Do you want to do something beautiful for God? There is a person who needs you. This is your chance”. Adoption is just that and is something that has always been extremely important to us as one of us comes from an adoption. It would be a dream come true and a full circle moment to adopt a child and complete our little family. Our family pictures can’t be placed in just one box and are an eclectic group of people. Adoption is about forever. It forever changes your life for the better. It forever changes your family for the better. It forever changes your world & they will become our world. It forever changes our hearts, we just know our hearts are incomplete without a child.
