From Rick and Tricia's Letter..."We believe in enjoying what we’ve been given, and building into the lives of others. We love our home, our family, our friends, and our pets, and we cannot wait to love a child. We will do everything we can to help your child know how much you have given to him or her – and to connect them to their unique heritage."

From Jeff and Jessica's letter..."We look forward to taking a child on camping trips, hikes, long drives, and seeing new places and people.  We are caring and respectful individuals, who believe in providing both the safety of boundaries and opportunities for fun learning.  We have the time to devote to a baby and so much love and nurturing to give.  Financially, Jessica will be able to quit her job at the library and be a stay-at-home mom.  We believe in having an “open” adoption, and see the birth mother as a person of respect.  We wish to facilitate the maintaining of a connection."

From Troy and Lili's Letter..."Lili has worked with birth mothers who have made the difficult decision to plan for an adoption.  As a result, she knows the importance of contact with birth families so we welcome openness in the adoption process if you would like it.  We want you to be comfortable with the type and amount of contact you have."

From Bob and Darian's Letter..."Our house is in a quiet tree lined neighborhood with many school age children and younger.  The grade school is in walking distance from our house, and there are also a couple of parks in walking/biking distance.  We especially love the neighborhood because of the friendly relationships we have with our neighbors."

From Kris and Harold's Letter..."We can hardly wait to open our home and hearts to a child to become a member of our family.  If you chose our family, we will be eternally grateful and will make sure that the child understands how lucky they are to have birth parents that love them so much.  We will make you proud that you chose our family.  We want the child to know the courage it took you to make such a difficult and important decision.  We are ready for this life-long commitment to become a reality and we look forward to sharing the growth of your child with you through pictures & letters."

From Tim and Alicia's Letter..."Over the years, it has been very important to us to establish a warm, loving, consistent, dependable household for the girl’s.  We do this by being active in their school activities, volunteer coaching (Alicia has coached volleyball and Tim has coached basketball), getting to know their friends, following through with what we say, and doing homework together nightly.  As parents, we make sure the girl’s understand how loved they are, that it’s o.k. for them to make mistakes, to work hard and to have an open mind and this is what we would want for a new child to our family as well."

From Tim and Marie's Letter..."We enjoy learning new things and value education greatly. We want to provide the very best education for your child that we can. Marie works in a Montessori school with an excellent toddler program where children learn by participating in hands-on activities. We also believe that education begins at home. Reading bedtime stories together, going to museums, and playing games are just some of the additional ways we will support your child’s education. We will provide opportunities for your child to try new things..."

From Dulcey and Lujon's Letter..."It is important to us that children are raised to respect themselves and others, as well as the world they live in. There are several teachers on both sides of our family, so a quality education is a key focus for us. One of our cherished values is to support the dreams and goals that a child may have and encourage them to try new things. As we were both raised in loving families, we will give the same kind of unconditional love and support to our children.
