Dear birthmother,Hi, our names are Tod and Kandi and we are so excited for you to consider us as adoptive parents for your baby. We can’t imagine how difficult this decision is for you but please know that you are making someone else’s dream of a family come true. You are truly an amazing person! After several years of unsuccessful infertility treatments we have chosen adoption to complete our family. We believe that everything happens for a reason and adoption is the reason that we have been brought together. You have made your baby your first priority and we will do the same. We know what a precious gift a child is and how much we would love to have a baby to share our lives, love and laughter with. Our family and friends have been beside us through the ups and downs of infertility and are thrilled with our decision to adopt. About usTod and Kandi met 11 ½ years ago through mutual friends and have been married for almost 9 years. We are best friends and do everything together. We enjoy outdoor activities, especially canoeing, fishing and playing in a sand volleyball league with friends. We spend summer holidays camping with family and friends. We are an outgoing, fun-loving couple. We love to take beach vacations and have been to Grand Cayman, Cozumel, Jamaica and Cancun. Our home / Our petsThree and a half years ago we moved into our dream home. We live in a four bedroom, three bath, ranch style home on two acres outside of town. We wanted a big yard and plenty of room for a growing family. We have a nursery just waiting for finishing touches and a very special baby. We live close to several small towns that have a variety of different festivals every year. Our black Labrador Retriever, Dakota loves all the room she has to run and play. She enjoys fetching tennis balls and would play all day long if she could. Dakota gets so excited when we have company because, of course, everyone is there to see her. Our extended familyKandi’s mom, brother and his family currently live in Alabama. We usually get together a couple times a year. Kandi’s brother and his family spent Christmas with us this past year and are considering moving back to IL to be closer to family. Kandi’s mom is also making plans to move back to IL in the fall and looks forward to spending lots of time with a new grandbaby. Tod’s parents, brother and sister-in-law live in Arizona. We try to take turns traveling for visits. Tod’s parents stay with us for two weeks every fall when they come back for the Pumpkin Festival. Tod’s sister and her family live just ten minutes away so we see them often. Tod’s nephew is 19 and his niece is 16 so the family is anxious to have a new baby to spoil. What led us to adoptionLike you, our decision to choose adoption has been difficult. We did invitro seven times in the last four and a half years. On our sixth try I got pregnant, then at 19 weeks had complications. We found out at 24 weeks that we had lost our baby girl. We understand that it’s difficult to share such a personal experience but we truly believe that there is a plan for all of us. Facts About HusbandFacts About Wife |
