Dear Special Friend,

We admire and respect you for choosing life for this baby and for considering adoption. We believe both are very courageous and selfless decisions. Although we cannot fully understand what you are going through, we are praying for you and the baby.

We are unashamed to be Christians. We believe God has a plan for everything. That is why He is at the center of our marriage. Without Him, we find so many struggles is life. We are not perfect people; we continually look to God for guidance.

We will do everything in our power to raise this baby to be the best person that he or she can be. We want to raise this baby with love, knowledge and deep respect for God.

We were married in October 2002. We are best friends, partners in life and truly soul mates. Our marriage is based on trust, honesty, respect and great love for one another.

We knew before marriage that we would never be able to have our own children. We were blessed in July 2006 with the placement of our son, Maxwell. Words cannot explain the joy of participating in all the "firsts". We realize there are many exciting things to come.

KARA ABOUT BRAD

Brad is a journeyman plumber. He has been in this trade for 19 years. He is very good at what he does and is a great provider. Brad is the youngest of 9 children. His parents have been married for over 55 years. Some things I admire about Brad are his great listening skills, patience, strength to handle all situations and teamwork in helping around our home. I feel like there is nothing he cannot do. He is well grounded and has very strong morals. I look forward to our kisses and hugs every day. Brad and I have a regular date night. It rejuvenates are relationship which we feel adds to our parenting skills.

Family is very important to us. Our families have been supportive about our decision to adopt. We can honestly say our son is DEFINITELY accepted as part of the family. He is spoiled with LOVE! Between our families we have 8 nieces and 11 nephews. We would love to add additional siblings to our loving and growing family. We make playtime each day. Part of our bedtime routine is story and prayers. We so enjoy being a mom and dad. Parenting is a huge responsibility, however, it is overshadowed by the joy and happiness you are rewarded.

We live in a small neighborhood where there are lots of children. We wanted to live in this area because of the schools. Brad grew up in this area and attended the same schools. We built our own home in 2002. We have 1 dog, a golden retriever named Spencer. He is a special part of our family.

BRAD ABOUT KARA

Kara is the most loving person I've ever met and has a personality to match. She has a way of putting a smile on someone' s face when they're down with out them even knowing what hit them. She has a way of seeing the "good" in people. I would definitely say she's the organizer of our marriage. She can take a disorganized mess and make sense of it, don't ask me how. If I would not have met her, I would say that someone this amazing did not exist. The world is surely better with her being in it. I know this is where I am supposed to be. Many people say they have a great mom, but watching Kara with our son, I know what those words mean.

I love being a wife and mother. I am fortunate to be a stay at home mom since the day Maxwell was placed with us. Prior to that, I worked in a doctor's office for 13 years. I volunteer at our church in the MOPS program (mothers of preschoolers). I enjoy being around children. Volunteering allows me to take Max with me. I am delighted to be a part of caring for children while mothers are expanding in their spiritual growth in ongoing Bible study groups. This allows Max to be around other children in a Christ-like environment.

Adoption is a key element in my life. I was adopted as a baby. I have an older brother that was also adopted. Though we do not have the same blood in our veins, no one would know because of the closeness we have. We are always there for each other. We were raised knowing we were "handpicked" by God. My parents are absolutely wonderful. I couldn't have asked for a better life.

I met my birthmother in March of 2004. My birthmother is an amazing, loving and kind woman. She explained her situation to me and it has really brought us together. The relationship has been a wonderful experience. I look forward to it continuing and growing.

Even if we are not the right couple to adopt this baby, we have prayers and great hopes for your decision. We want the best for you and the baby.

I realize this is just a little of who we are. We look forward to a possible future together.

Brad and Kara
