Thank you for considering us to parent your child. We cannot imagine what a difficult decision this must be for you. We want you to know we are cheering you on, and hope that we can be a part of your support team.
We believe that the child is better off with you as a part of their lives. We know that each person will be comfortable with different levels of contact, but we want our child to know who their family is and that you are an important part of that family. In our home you will always be remembered, respected, and honored. Almost 3 years ago we adopted our daughter. Macie is a wonderful girl and will be a great sister. We do our best to be good parents for Macie; we will also strive to be the best parents for your child. We have a safe, happy house with a big yard and a playful dog. We are financially stable and able to provide a comfortable life for your child.
We first met when we were sixteen at a week-long church camp. We both had a crush on one another, but after the week was up, we went back to our homes. Mitch lived in Utah, and Tiffany lived in Oregon. Because of the distance, we didn't stay in contact. The next time we saw each other we were both serving volunteer missions in North Dakota. As we worked together, we became good friends. After we came home, we both ended up moving into the same town to go to college. It seemed like fate wanted us together, so we started to date. One thing led to another and a year later we were married.
About a year and a half after tying the knot we decided we wanted to grow our little family. We both had a feeling that we would need medical assistance to have children.
Month after month we tried new medications, shots, and everything else we could think of. We have done several IVF transfers and have miscarried several times. We took a break; we spent a lot of time praying and researching.
We have always felt a strong pull towards adoption, even before we were married. Making the decision to adopt was easy, and shortly after making the decision we were able to adopt Macie as a newborn. While we don’t expect this adoption or our relationship with you to be the same as the previous adoption, we hope that our experiences will be helpful. We have a great relationship with Macie’s birth mom and contact her regularly. You may want a different level of contact, and we will work with you to find the right amount of involvement.
We are not perfect. Sometimes, we disagree, but are quick to forgive. Sometimes, there are dirty dishes in the sink, but our house is still a happy place. We watch a lot of Disney princess movies, but we still work hard. We have so much love to give. If you select us your child will be part of a loving family. They will learn love and empathy. They will have adventures and learn to set boundaries. They will learn to be curious and explore. They will learn to serve and to believe in God. They will learn to work hard and play harder. We are thrilled to grow our family and will do all we can to be the parents you hope for. Thank you for your consideration.
Love,
Mitch, Tiffany, and Macie
