dear expectant mother

Dear Expectant Mother,

You are often on our hearts and minds as you consider a family for your baby, and we are already praying for you daily. We admire your incredible strength as you make the decision of who could be the best family for your child. We look forward to knowing you and having an open relationship. If you choose us, you could find peace in knowing your child would be loved unconditionally their whole life. They would have older siblings who would shower them with love and attention. We would support and uplift them as they grow to be a strong, confident, and successful individual and give them as many opportunities throughout their life as we are able to provide.

Your child would experience family trips, hikes, bike rides, playing at the playground, swimming, and lots of family get-togethers with grandparents and cousins. They would have a chance to try different sports, musical instruments, or any other extracurricular activity that interests them. They’ll receive an excellent education and always be supported and encouraged to do their best and achieve great things. They will be a part of a family who loves to laugh and be silly together.

We could never truly understand all you are facing at this time but hope you can find comfort in knowing your little one would join a family that can offer so much love and care. Thank you for considering us!

About Us

When you get to know us, you will see we both love to travel, and our favorite places are typically warm beaches. We take a family road trip every year. Phil is a planner and loves mapping out all the new places to visit. In addition to planning our trips, he also loves baseball and reading and is extraordinary at playing and being silly with our children. His serious side comes out in his career, in which he is very successful working in consumer lending at a large bank. He is the most motivated, disciplined, and structured person Samantha knows! Samantha has a compassionate heart and always sees the good in people and things. She’s optimistic, silly, adventurous, caring, athletic, and incredibly loving to everyone around her. She volunteers at church and in our community. She is a stay-at-home mom who loves to do fun activities with the family, especially outdoor adventures.

Our Home & Pets

We love our home and neighborhood. We have a cozy home with a great upstairs space for the kids. They have a large play space, and the boys’ bedroom is up there. This is where we have our bunnies and hermit crabs too. Surrounding our block are lots of fun restaurants: a sandwich shop, popsicle store, bakery, rice krispie shop, and farmers market. We have a diverse neighborhood, which we love, and we’ve gotten to know our neighbors well over the many years we’ve lived here. There are many playgrounds within a short driving distance. We often visit the zoo and our local pool during the summer months.

Our Extended Family

Samantha’s extended family is made up of her parents and sister. Her sister and her husband have one son, who is 15; he is super sweet with our children, and they really look up to him. Samantha’s sister lives up the road from us. We celebrate holidays and birthdays together. The rest of her extended family live in different parts of the country, but we keep in touch the best we can.

Phil’s family includes his parents and an older sister and brother. Both of them are married and, combined, have five kids. All family gatherings are full of lots of laughter with nine grandkids all playing and having fun. We celebrate birthdays and holidays together. On Christmas, every child has a couple gifts from the grandparents and a huge stocking stuffed with lots of goodies. It is pure chaos filled with joy on Christmas morning. For Easter, Phil’s dad puts together an epic Easter egg hunt for the kids AND adults. We look forward to it every year!

There are a few aunts, uncles, and cousins we see once a year on Phil’s side of the family at their yearly family reunion on a farm with 20+ acres. The kids love playing with all the farm animals.

What Led Us To Adoption

The thing that excites us about growing our family through adoption is giving another child every opportunity to be successful in everything or anything they want to take on. Both of us had been thinking about adoption separately throughout the summer and fall of 2021. Eventually we sat down with each other and mentioned we should look at adoption. It was an amazing conversation with tears of joy and excitement. We were amazed since we both had the same idea, unprompted by each other. We love the thought of growing our family through this and having our other children love on our adopted child. We have seen the beauty of adoption through multiple friendships and have been in connection with them as we have begun our own journey.
