Dear Birth Parents,
First of all, we want to thank you for choosing adoption for your precious
blessing from God. Thank you, also, for taking the time to view our
profile to see if we, along with God’s help, are the right family to raise
your baby. We know that this is a very difficult time for you, but please
know that you are in our prayers.
My husband and I met in college and fell in love pretty much instantly.
We have been married for 19 years and we have a 10 year old son. We
are very grateful for how God has worked in each of our lives
individually and in our family.
Let us tell you a little about ourselves so that you can make the best
decision about whether we are the right family for you. Bobby has a
Master’s degree in Accounting and works as a CPA at an accounting firm
and teaches accounting part-time at a University. He really enjoys his
work, but is always able to keep a healthy balance between work and
home. He works very hard to provide for our family. He is involved in
our church and in the school that our son attends. He enjoys working in
the yard and playing outside with our son. He is always willing to do
whatever he is asked to do and is always successful at anything he tries to
do. He is a huge family man and tries his very best to make us a priority.
Rhonda is a stay-at-home Mom and she enjoys it very much. She
completed 3 years of an Early Childhood Education degree, but she
decided God’s desire for her was to be in the home. She loves babies and
children and has enjoyed babysitting since she was a teenager. Her
primary job at home is taking care of our son, which means taking him to
and from school, helping him with homework, taking him to the
doctor/dentist appointments. She loves to laugh and enjoys getting
together with family and friends. Rhonda comes from a musical family
and she really enjoys singing.
Chandler is in the 5th grade and enjoys going to school. He is an A
student and his favorite subject is Math. He is in his 4 th year of piano
lessons and he loves learning to play new songs. He has played baseball
since he was 3 and it is his favorite sport. He also enjoys swimming,
playing putt-putt, throwing the football and riding his bicycle. He loves
playing indoors, as well, building with Legos and playing video games.
Chandler has a very funny sense of humor and loves babies and small
children. He likes to clean (once you get him started) and he loves to help
in the kitchen.
We live in a small, rural town that is near a large town that offers more
opportunities. The nearby town is where Bobby works, where we go for
most doctor’s appointments, and where we go for entertainment
(shopping, eating, etc.). Our neighborhood consists of people of different
racial ethnicities. It is a quiet neighborhood with lots of children.
All three of us have accepted Jesus as our personal Lord and Savior and
we strive to put Him first in our lives on a daily basis. As a result of this,
we are very active in our church. We feel very strongly that church
attendance is very vital in a person’s life. It’s where we draw strength for
the days ahead. We teach Sunday school, help with kids’ ministries on
Wednesday nights and other various things.
We enjoy spending time together as a family. We love to go to the
movies, to ballgames (preferably Braves baseball and high school
football), to the beach and to the mountains. We usually plan 1 to 2
vacations per year so that we can get away and spend quality time
together. Most of the time, we are together and that is how we prefer it.
We draw strength from each other and we feel God has put us together
for a reason. We can’t wait to add another child or children to our family
so that we can begin making memories with them.
Through much prayer and consideration, we chose to pursue adoption
because we wanted to grow our family. We were not able to have a
biological child for the first eight years of our marriage then God blessed
us with a son. When our son was about six years old, we decided that we
wanted to have another child. A couple of years later, we were finally
able to get pregnant, but we had a miscarriage not long after that. We
had talked about adoption since the beginning of our marriage and have
decided that this is God’s plan for our lives.
We are looking forward to adding a new blessing or blessings to our
family very soon and if you feel we are the right family for your baby, we
will welcome him/her/them with open arms and open hearts. We will
raise them just the same as we do our biological son and love them as a
regular part of our family because that is what they will be. We will
always share with them about how they came to join our family and they
will always know how much you love them. Again, we are praying for
you, your baby and the rest of your family as you go through this
beautiful process of adoption.
In God’s Love,
Bobby, Rhonda and Chandler
