Our Message to You
Thank you so much for taking the time to view our profile and our website. As you make this most important decision, please know that our prayers and our hearts are with you. Although we can never know the depth of the emotions that you're feeling, we will forever be grateful to you. The decision you're making is one that requires strength, love, and faith that is nearly beyond comprehension.
While we have been blessed with two biological children, the road to bringing them into our family was very difficult and full of heartache. We are so completely in love with being parents and want, more than anything, to expand our family. Knowing that bringing more of our own biological children into this world would be very difficult, we turned our hearts toward the possiblity of adopting. After much thought and prayer, we made the exciting decision to pursue adoption.
We have each been touched by adoption in different ways and, somehow, we always knew that it would play an important role in our family. Spencer’s sister is a birthmother who made the selfless sacrifice of placing her beautiful newborn son for adoption. This experience changed her life, his life, and the life of so many others in ways that are nearly countless in number. Spencer’s love and admiration for his sister cannot be described in words. We think of her son so often yet take comfort in knowing that he was placed with a loving and devoted family who had waited so long for the opportunity. To think that we may now be on the receiving end of such a gift and sacrifice is truly humbling and amazing.
Several members of my (Erin's) extended family have been adopted, included cousins, an aunt, and an uncle--some at birth and others through foster-to-adopt placements. Adoption has formed the family network that we know and love and is something that, on some level, we always felt would be part of our own family. My sister-in-law is one of my (Erin's) dearest and best friends. As the years have passed since her own son was placed for adoption, our admiration, respect, and love for her and her decision has only deepened. We are humbled to hope that a birthmother (and birthfather) such as her could select us to bring their child into our family.
As you consider us as the potential adoptive family for your child, know that we intend to accept this incredible trust and duty with humility and honor. We will do our best to provide a home and family life for your child that is fun and adventurous, filled with learning and opportunity. It is our greatest desire to provide a loving and safe place for your child to blossom and grow into every hope that you have for them.
Again, we thank you for taking the time to get to know us a little better. Know that we are praying for you and for the sweet spirit you are growing. Our arms and hearts are open to you and your little one.
With Love,
Spencer, Erin, Isabel and Milo
