With All Our Love...

Hello,

We are excited at the opportunity to share our lives and ourselves with you through this letter! As we find our hearts full of joy and excitement we can’t even begin to know the feelings and thoughts that you are experiencing. It is said that the greatest gift one person can give to another is to lay down his life for a friend, however in our case the greatest gift one could give us is the gift of life and the blessing of a child to care for and nurture. Although we are unable to have children of our own, we pray that God blesses us with the opportunity to adopt a child.

We first met in our church youth group helping with a summer program for kids. We dated all through high school and then married a couple years later. We were blessed with the financial ability to purchase our own home and can’t wait start our family!

We live in a beautiful town in the mountains and enjoy the seasonal changes. Bethany looks forward to the warm summer months and Chris loves the snow! Our home is in a friendly neighborhood and has plenty of room with a great yard to play in. We have two dogs, Daisy (a chocolate lab who loves going on adventures with us) and Tipsy (a small mixed breed who stays close to home.) In the summer we love mountain biking, camping, fishing, sport climbing and getting the boat on the lake. The winter time is mostly spent snowboarding and tubing.

Family is in no short supply! We both have immediate family close by and enjoy spending time with our nieces and nephews. Every year we look forward to special get-togethers such as birthday parties, holidays, and our annual pumpkin carving contest. Our family is thrilled for us to adopt and can’t wait to help!

Thank you so much for taking the time to read our letter and getting to know us a little better. We look forward to becoming parents and providing a loving and supportive family for our child. We admire your courage and love as you consider adoption. We would love to get to know you and learn about your dreams!
