As we write this, there are a million different
thoughts and emotions running through our minds and hearts. But first we’d like
to say, thank you! Thank you for reading this and trying to get to know us
better. We won’t attempt to guess at how you are feeling or tell you that we
are perfect and you have to choose us. At the end of the day, we want you to
feel empowered and strong, because that is what you are. We will do our best to
present to you who we are and what we believe in, so that you can make the
choice that feels best to you, whatever that may be. Know that we have prayed
and will continue to pray for you and your child.
We are high school
sweethearts and when we tell people that, they are always shocked. It is a
pretty rare thing to end up together after so many years. We have truly grown
together and continue to change. Our dreams and goals have changed. We have
worked through challenges and toward successes. But the one constant is
our commitment to each other. Without driving and encouraging each other,
we wouldn’t be the people we are today.
We have always talked
and dreamed about having kids. When we were dating and in our early years of
marriage, and even now, we often talk about how we will raise our kids and how
we will surround them with love. We always had a plan: get married, wait
about a year, have two kids, maybe adopt one, and live happily ever
after. After facing some difficulties conceiving we began exploring our
options and quickly realized that our hearts were being pulled towards
adoption.
Ultimately, we want to love and raise an incredible human being, and
adoption will allow us to do that and so much more. We know the adoption
journey is challenging but it is also one of true purpose and fulfillment that
we want to write into our family story. We have so many hopes for our future
and child. If you do choose us, we want to share a few commitments that we make
to you and ourselves as parents. We promise to raise our child to love God
above all things, we promise to be open and honest about their adoption story,
and we promise to speak about you with respect and love. We appreciate you looking
at our profile and hope you were able to get a quick glimpse into our lives.
Sincerely,
Esther & Brian
