dear expectant mother

Dear Expectant Mother,

We don’t know the circumstances of your pregnancy, but one thing we do know is that the decision you are making is not a decision that comes easily or without a roller coaster of emotions. We would never claim to know what you are experiencing in this decision, but we do know you would not be making this decision if it weren’t in the best interests of you and your child. As two individuals who love each other but are unable to have a child on our own, all we can do is offer our thanks and our gratitude that there are expectant mothers such as you who are brave enough to consider adoption for their child. We would not be able to fulfill our hopes and dreams without you. The unknown about your child’s future must be overwhelming. What we can do is provide you some reassurance.

Your child will be loved above all else and provided a home for them to grow and thrive in. Growing up with two adopted siblings, we know the challenges that exist for an adopted child as they grow and sometimes struggle with the question of their adoption. When explaining your child’s adoption story, it will be full of nothing but love and the desire to offer them the best life possible. The steps you are taking to provide your child with a loving home is not easy, and we would be honored to be that loving home for your child.

Your child will be loved above all else and provided a home for them to grow and thrive in.

About Us

We met as college freshmen while attending Montana State University. While dating in college, we were often found outdoors exploring Yellowstone National Park, swing dancing on campus, attending football games, hiking, and enjoying time with our friends. Since college, as a military family, we have had a lot of opportunities to travel the United States. We enjoy our relatively quiet and reserved lifestyle. Patrick is an aircraft maintenance officer with one tour in Afghanistan. As a military spouse, Samantha has enjoyed numerous career opportunities working as an EKG technician during COVID and most recently as a paralegal. We still enjoy our outdoors, where we spend a lot of our time enjoying hobbies like hiking, camping, and fishing. On a day-to-day basis, after work we enjoy reading and relaxing at home so we can spend our weekends outside and being active.

Our Home & Pets

We live in a beautiful house with our two cats, Cali and Eevee, surrounded by a small but amazing neighborhood of 32 houses. Our neighborhood is very active, very supportive, and very safe. There are 45 children who live in our neighborhood who provide a lot of energy. We have bi-weekly block parties at the playground, and you will often find weekends are full of fire pits and social activities in driveways while the kids play at the park or in the street. It is the kind of neighborhood where five different families will volunteer to lend a hand at a moment’s notice at any time of the day. We have a golf course, library, and elementary and middle schools all within five minutes of our house.

Our Extended Family

Patrick has both his parents, three siblings, one living grandfather, four aunts, one uncle, and ten cousins. His extended family loves getting together for summer vacations at their grandfather’s home in Washington. Patrick’s extended family is very active and can often be found hiking out and about together!

Samantha has both of her parents, one brother, three living grandparents, five aunts, three uncles, and eight cousins. In the summers, we enjoy spending time together in New Mexico on Samantha’s grandparents’ ranch. A favorite holiday tradition we have is gathering at Samantha’s parents house to celebrate Thanksgiving and enjoy each other’s presence.

Together we value the importance of spending time with family and making memories to cherish for a lifetime.

What Led Us To Adoption

We unfortunately had to put future family plans on pause when Patrick was diagnosed with cancer in 2019. It wasn’t until he was cancer free in 2021 that we learned we would not be able to have kids on our own. Patrick has a brother and sister who were adopted from South Korea, and we have had the opportunity to personally experience the amazing families that are completed by adoption. We can’t imagine what life would be like without them in our lives, and we have adoption to thank for that. We want to be able to complete a loving family in the same way we have experienced with Patrick’s family.
