Dear Expectant/Birth Mother,
What an opportunity and a blessing it is that you are viewing our profile! We are sure that you have been reading numerous letters, viewing many profiles, and deciding what path is right for you and your child. You may still be deciding if adoption is the right choice for your story, and that is okay. We empathize with every emotion you are feeling right now, and we are so grateful that you are giving us the opportunity to share a little about ourselves.
Foremost, we want you to know that adoption has always been our first choice for expanding our family. Having both experienced adoption in our lives, we have a deep respect and admiration for the choice you are considering. Bridget, with great gratitude, was adopted at the age of 15, leaving a home that was unsafe and unstable. The family that welcomed Bridget brought her in with open arms and unconditional love. For myself, I have great pride in my adoption story, knowing that my birth mother chose this journey for me from the moment I was born. Adoption for us is at our core and has been woven into our identities, making it our only choice.
Bridget and I live in the beautiful state of Colorado. We have been married for a wonderful 5 years! We enjoy a very active and outdoor lifestyle that we look forward to bringing a child into. Whether it is going to our neighborhood park or an adventurous hike, we strive to spend as much time as we can outside. If we aren’t on the trails or at the park, you can catch us on our favorite bike routes, rock climbing, or finding new coffee shops. A lot of our joy comes from our wonderful 3 fur babies who keep us active on long walks and busy throwing tennis balls for hours. Bridget enjoys spending her time in the kitchen either cooking family meals, creating a new desert, or going to farmers markets. I enjoy training for long distance running, watching sports, roasting and preparing coffee, and keeping up with music! During the week I work as a pastor in our church, leading our youth and young adults. While Bridget rocks as a store manager for Starbucks.
Our extended families on both sides play a significant role in our lives. Bridget’s family lives only an hour away, making family dinners a regular event. While most of my family lives in Arkansas, my parents love to come and visit us frequently. Everyone on both sides of our family is beyond thrilled and supportive of our family expansion. Depending on how this looks for you, we would love an open relationship. We want you to know, as you feel comfortable, we are excited to include you as part of our family. Nonetheless, your privacy is important to us, and we will respect whatever choice you make.
Please know that we are here, ready to listen, understand, and share in the beautiful journey of parenthood with you. We are praying for you, no matter the choice you make.
Sincerely,
John & Bridget
