We would like to take this opportunity to extend our gratitude for considering us as potential parents for your child. We are sure this decision is incredibly difficult, and we want you to know you are truly a blessing for us. We have been wanting to expand our family for a few years now with no success, and we are so thankful to have this opportunity to adopt.

If chosen, we can promise that your child will grow up with laughter, stability, culture, consistency, and the ability to be who they are in a safe and loving environment. We are a dog-loving home, so we promise to surround them with lots of wet noses and furry kisses. We promise to let them explore their interests, and we believe in being resourceful and can assure you they will be able to learn everything from changing a tire to camping and so much more. Laura can't wait to teach them all about cooking and gardening as much as Shannon can't wait to teach them how to shoot hoops.

As we move along this journey together, we will do everything we can to support and respect you. We want you to be as involved as you want in order to honor your place in this process and to give your child the best possible adoption experience. This gift could not be possible without your courage, selflessness, and bravery. We are committed to this experience and will always be grateful to and for you.
