Dear Birthmom

Thank you for considering us as potential parents for your child. We can’t begin to fully understand the emotions you are experiencing right now, but please know we hold you in our hearts with deep compassion and respect. This decision takes immense strength, courage, and selflessness, and we admire you for the love you are showing in exploring the best possible future for your child.

Parenting foster children has been one of the greatest joys of our lives. Every child we have cared for has taught us invaluable lessons about love, patience, and the true meaning of family. Should you choose us, we promise to raise your child with unconditional love, unwavering support, and a foundation of security. They will be surrounded by a large, loving family who will cherish and celebrate them every step of the way. We will provide them with opportunities to learn, grow, and thrive in a home filled with warmth, laughter, and encouragement.

Whatever path you choose, we want you to know we respect and honor your journey. You are making a decision rooted in love, and we wish you peace and strength as you move forward. Thank you again for considering us. You will always have a place in our hearts.

Our Story

We are Eric and Kayleigh from Oklahoma. We met in college in 2013 and got married in 2016. We’ve built our relationship on being best friends and spend every day getting the most out of life together. Eric’s calm, level-headed personality is a great balance to Kayleigh’s louder and fast-paced personality. We spent the last several years as foster parents, but we are excited to dive into our adoption journey! We love spending our free time hiking, visiting museums, gardening, and spending time with our dog, Lucy. Eric is an HVAC and plumbing supervisor for a small company, and Kayleigh is a marketing manager for a small chain of sewing machine stores. That means we always have a handyman to do everything around the house, and Kayleigh gets constant inspiration for sewing and quilting.

 Our Extended Family

We are very close with our families, and each of us has two siblings (Eric with two brothers and Kayleigh with two sisters). We have two nephews and two nieces we love endlessly and spend as much time with as possible. We love spending time with our families and lean on them as our biggest support system.

All our family members live fairly close by, so we are extremely lucky to see everyone often. Eric’s family gathers most Sundays for lunch at his Nana’s house, and Kayleigh’s family gets together every Sunday evening for dinner, making for a very fun, family-filled day! With our large families, every holiday and gathering is packed with people all having fun and enjoying being together.

 Our Home

We happily live in a suburb in northeast Oklahoma with a close-knit, small-town feel that is very connected. We are in one of the best school districts in our area and just a short drive from great attractions like a zoo, aquarium, and museums. Our neighborhood is very quiet and family focused with a park, walking trail, and pond. Our house is the place where we feel the most comfortable, with the living room being the heart of the home, where the family can hang out, watch movies, and play games. We also spend a lot of time in our yard, playing with our dog, gardening, and keeping bees.

 Our Journey to Adoption

Very early on in our relationship, we felt called to foster children who needed a safe home for a time. After parenting three foster kiddos, we wanted more permanence and to experience all the fun we’ve had fostering with our own child. While we are unable to have our own biological children, we want nothing more than to be parents and share all the love and fun we have together with a child. We’ve been on this journey for years and are so excited to be at this point.
