Rich & Steve
Are Hoping to Adopt a Baby
dear expectant mother
Dear Expectant Mother,
We can’t tell you how much of a blessing it is to have you consider us to raise your baby. We know the decision is not easy, and we are incredibly grateful just to have the opportunity to share a bit about us with you. Having adopted our first child, we are deeply aware of the adoption process and know how much a mother has to love her child to bless us with the opportunity to love, care, and raise her child in our home.
We are very fortunate to be able to spend a lot of time with a child once they come into our home. Rich is able to take fourteen weeks of paid leave, and Steve receives a similar amount of time. Having the time to genuinely bond and nurture a newborn child is so important, and we are thankful to have jobs that allow us to not have to worry about childcare and work responsibilities.
Our daughter, Emerson, can’t wait to be a big sister. She has spent many months practicing hugging, feeding, and nurturing her favorite babydoll. Emerson has been so interested in all of the nieces and nephews who have come into our family over the last two years. Her favorite thing to do with her two youngest cousins is hold their hands and help them learn to walk!
Thank you for considering us. We sincerely hope you will consider choosing us to raise your baby.
About Us
Our Home & Neighborhood
Our Family & Friends
We are lucky to both have incredible families who are ready to love and support our growing family. We have been incredibly blessed with how much our families have welcomed our first adopted child into our extended family!
Both of our parents live a short car-ride away, just outside of our city, and we both have several siblings we get to see throughout the year. Spending time together is important to us, and we cherish the traditions and events that bring our extended families together.
While holidays are important to both of our families, Steve’s family always has a Christmas celebration on Christmas Eve. We gather around the tree and exchange presents, opening them one at a time for all to see! Rich’s family has an annual vacation that usually brings together between 20-30 of his aunts, uncles, and cousins. We usually get a big house at the beach or lake and spend at least a few days having fun and enjoying each other’s company. Both of our families are incredibly excited about us adopting again, and we can’t wait to share and pass on these traditions.
