Dear Donor Family,

Thank you for your strength, your generosity, and for taking the time to get to know our family. We can only imagine how personal and emotional this journey is for you, and we want you to know how deeply we honor the significance of this connection. We know that behind every gift of life there is a story, and we are grateful to be able to share ours with you.

We live with our four amazing kids in a home that is filled with energy, laughter, love and lots of fun. We are a tight-knit family that believes in the power of togetherness. Our days are full—often noisy, sometimes busy—but always grounded in care, intentionality, and love.

One of the most meaningful parts of our family dynamic is the wife's role as a stay-at-home mother. She loves this calling and pours her whole heart into raising and teaching our kids. We homeschool, which gives her the opportunity to spend focused, quality time with each child every day. She creates a warm, structured, and engaging environment where our children can grow in both knowledge and confidence. Whether she’s leading a science experiment at the kitchen table, reading a stack of picture books on the couch, or planning a hands-on history project, she does it all with so much grace.

The husband is self-employed with a job that he truly enjoys and one that provides a stable income and flexible schedule. His work allows him to be present for his kids’ lives—he’s there to play sports with them, to help with homework, and to be there for bedtime stories and morning breakfasts. We’ve always believed that parenting is about presence and attention, and we structure our life around being the kind of parents who are involved, intentional, supportive, and hands-on. Together we strive to create an environment where every child knows they are deeply loved, seen, and heard.

Our home is a place where kids are free to be themselves. We have regular movie nights with popcorn and sleeping bags spread across the living room, board game showdowns that get surprisingly competitive, and spontaneous dance parties in the kitchen while dinner is cooking. We also have Lego building marathons, music making fun, and family walks to the park or pool. We believe in celebrating life’s little moments, and we make time every evening to sit down and eat dinner together as a family without distractions. We ask each person at the table to share their “Cherish” and “Challenge” of the day and focus on connecting in community with each other.

Holidays are especially sacred in our house. Christmas is a season-long celebration filled with traditions like baking cookies, decorating the tree with ornaments we’ve collected over the years, and reading the Nativity story together by candlelight. On Easter, we gather for worship and reflect on Christ’s sacrifice and resurrection. In the fall, we go all out for Halloween with family costumes and pumpkin carving, and Thanksgiving is a time of reflection, with each of us sharing what we’re most grateful for around the table and we give thanks to God for His provision. These moments aren’t just fun—they’re the glue that binds us together.

Our journey to grow our family has included both joy and hardship. We have experienced the emotional and physical challenges of multiple IVF treatments—seasons of hope, heartbreak, and resilience. Through that journey, we were incredibly blessed with the successful birth of our fourth child, an experience that deepened our appreciation for the miracle of life and the many ways it can come into the world. These experiences have shaped our hearts and made us more compassionate, more grateful, and more open to the beautiful, diverse paths that lead to parenthood.

Adoption has been a calling on our hearts since we were first married. We believe that family is built on love and faith, and we trust in God's perfect plan to grow our family. Our children are also excited at the idea of welcoming a new sibling/s and have already begun praying for the child/children who will one day join us. We know how sacred the gift of life is, and we are committed to honoring that in every way possible.

There is space here—physical, emotional, and spiritual—for a child to grow, thrive, and be cherished. We are not perfect parents, but we are patient, devoted, and fiercely loving. We believe in hugs and honesty, in listening and guiding with grace, and in creating a life where a child can feel safe to discover who God made them to be.

Thank you again for considering us. I hope this letter gives you a small glimpse into who we are and the life we can offer another child/children. Whatever your path forward, please know that your decision is honored with the deepest respect, and we hold you in our prayers as you walk through this journey.
