Dear Birth Parent,

We are so excited that you are reading our profile and getting to know a little about us! Thank you for your consideration. Over the pages of this profile we hope to give you an idea of who we are and the love we have in our hearts for a child. Please know that we will keep you in our prayers as you make the difficult decision of finding the right adoptive parents for your child.

We have been married for the past 6 years but have been friends since child-hood. We met at church when we were about 8 years old and have been best friends ever since. After many years of friendship we started dating our senior year in high school. We attended the same university and 5 years later we got married. Since before we got married we knew that we would grow our fam-ily through adoption and we couldn’t be more excited to begin our parenting adventure.

We have been truly blessed and have a wonderful life together. We live in a beautiful suburb where we share a house with our lovable terrier Benji. We enjoy our daily walks with Benji to the park at the center of our neigh-borhood and his fluffy fur and energetic personality easily makes him one of the highlights for our nieces when they come and visit.

Hillary has a Bachelor of Arts degree and works for a credit union while writing her next novel. Andrew has a medical degree and works as an emergency medicine physician. Once we adopt a child, Hillary plans to stay at home and care for our child to ensure a childhood filled with fun, learning, and the little adventures each day brings.

Our relationship with God and spirituality are also a very important part of our lives. Having been part of the same church for over twenty years, we have become very close with our church family. We plan to raise our child with christian values and surround our child with a friendly and accepting church family.We believe that diversity is part of what makes God’s creation so beautiful. We are open to any race or gender for our adoption. We both have many friends, family, and colleagues of different races and cultures and we embrace all the differences and similarities between us. We also believe it is imperative for a child to understand the culture and heritage that makes them wonderful and unique. We plan to teach our child about their cultural background so that they can celebrate who they are and where they came from.

We are very close to both of our families. They have all been extremely supportive of us in starting the adoption process. They are very excited to welcome another member into the family. Our family believes there is always more love to give and there’s no doubt that our children will be blessed with excellent grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins.

We love spending our free time with family and friends, taking care of our four beautiful nieces, traveling around the country, participating in outdoor activities and watching movies. Hillary is an avid reader and Andrew loves cheering on his favorite sports teams. We both make each day an adventure, whether that’s traveling to a new city or just spending a day in the back yard, we try to make the most of each and every day.Thank you so much for taking the time to read our profile and get to know a little bit about us. We are so very excited to become parents and our hearts are filled with unconditional love for our future child. We promise that they will grow up in a safe and loving home where we can make their dreams come true. We will keep you in our thoughts and prayers. Thank you again for your consideration.

We met in church when we were 8 years old. Andrew’s family has belonged to the church for many years and Hillary’s family had just moved to the area and joined the church. We instantly became friends. Over the years we have been in many church and 4-H activities together. We started dating in high school and were married at the end of college. We are both very outgoing and energetic. We love to travel and try new things. We enjoy adventure and look forward to all the adventures parent-hood will bring us.

Andrew is the love of my life and my best friend. I feel very blessed to have him as my husband. He is one of the most caring people I know and is a very supportive and patient person. It is easy to see his compassion and love with the way he treats our families, especially his nieces. He truly loves being a doctor and having the opportunity to help people in their moment of need. He is a wonderful person with admirable qualities such as generosity, patience, determination and a great sense of humor. I am a better person because he is in my life. I know he will be a great father by the way he shows love towards me and our families. I can see him coaching our child’s soccer or baseball team and I look forward to the day that dream becomes a reality.

Hillary is the most amazing wife I could ask for. She has always believed in me and has supported me and my dreams no mat-ter how far fetched it seemed. She is easily the kindest, sweet-est, and most thoughtful person I know. She has this wonder-ful ability to find the good in every situation and see the best in every person. She is an incredible writer and has published two novels already! When I watch her and our nieces together I get a glimpse of the amazing mother she’ll be. Seeing Hil-lary with our nieces sitting on her lap while she reads them her favorite Dr Seuss book or watching her teach them something new and wonderful about the world always brings a smile to my face. I cannot wait to see her become a mother and all the adventures we will share as a family!

Both of our families are very important to us. They have always been very supportive and are very excited to add to our family. Andrew’s family consists of his mom, dad, older brother and younger sister. Both of Andrew’s siblings are married. Andrew’s sister and her husband are terrific parents to their two beautiful daughters.

Hillary’s family consists of her mom and dad and an older brother. Her brother is mar-ried and they also have two amazing daughters. They are both great parents and look forward to being aunt and uncle.

Of everyone in our family, Andrew is probably closest to his mom and Hillary hers. Andrew’s mom is a paramedic. The two of them have always been close but working together on the same fire department created a special bond between them. Hillary loves spending time with her mom, shopping, watching movies or just going out for coffee.

We both have large extended families and we all get together a couple of times a year for family reunions and events. Although we enjoy every event with our family we both particularly love the 4th of July picnic where we all gather at Hillary’s parents farm and enjoy a day cooking, eating, boating on their lake, and enjoying each others company.

BenjiOur terrier, Benji is also a part of our family. We adopted him from an animal rescue shelter this past summer. He has truly brought joy into our lives. He is energetic and has a lot of personality. He is terrif-ic with our nieces. When he hears a baby crying he goes up to them and tries to comfort them.

Our HomeThis past year we bought our first home in a safe and beautiful suburb. There are many young children in our neighborhood that are always outside playing. We live really close to a nice park, libraries, hospital and theaters. We have a two story, three bedroom home. We have a nice, large backyard with a swing set that our nieces love to play on.
