Dear Birthmother,
We are so honored you have considered us to raise your baby. Adding your child to our family would be an incredible blessing, and we cannot wait for the opportunity to get to know you, if that is what you want. We do not know you yet, but we want you to know how much we love you and how much we admire you for the decisions you are making for your child. You are a strong, beautiful woman, and we could never thank you enough for the incredible gift you would be giving us.
We pray for you and your child every day. We want you to know your child will never question how much they are loved by us or by you. We are open to whatever kind of relationship you would like to have with us, but no matter what, your child will always know where they came from and what an incredible woman you are.
We will always support your child and love them unconditionally. They will grow up knowing Jesus and about the unconditional love He has for them. We are so ready and so excited to add a new baby to our family. Our journey to adoption was difficult, but we would do it all again, over and over, to get to you. Our children are so excited to have a baby brother or sister to love and teach new things to. We would be so proud to be the parents of your precious child!
About Us
Evan is a helicopter pilot for the Illinois National Guard. He is a down-to-earth, kind, hardworking man. He is an incredible father and husband and, above all, puts his family first. Kourtney is a stay-at-home momma. She is caring and always puts others before herself, she shows selfless love to everyone around her, and she has always had a heart for children. She is passionate about what God has put on our hearts! We are high school sweethearts and have been together for 15 years, married ten! We love to travel and explore. We cannot imagine doing life and all it throws at us any other way or with anyone else but each other.
Our Home
We live in a small town in Illinois. We both grew up here, and a lot of our family still lives here. We live in a five-bedroom home with a large backyard. We love to be outside working and playing in the yard. We have lots of room to grow and lots of space to play! We have a park just a few blocks away, and our kids love to go get ice cream at our little local shack. We have two kitties, Dunkin and Oreo, that lack no attention!
Our Extended Family
We both come from big families, and most of our family lives in the surrounding area. Our families are so excited about the possibility of adding a child to our family. They are all so supportive, and we could not do this without them. Your baby will always be surrounded by so much love.
Evan has one brother and one sister. His dad and brother live in the area. His brother has three children who are the same age as our kids. We love when we are able to get together with them. Christmas Eve is always spent with Evan’s family. We go to Christmas Eve service, eat lots of food, and play games all night. Evan’s mom and sister moved away last year, but we see them every chance we get!
Kourtney’s parents live in the country, outside of town, and our kids’ favorite thing to do is go to Nanny and Papa’s little farm. She has two sisters and one brother, who all live within five minutes of each other. She also has one niece, whom we spend lots of time with. Kourtney has a big extended family that continues to grow. They are all very close, and the holidays are always a fun time. We also spend lots of time with Kourtney’s cousin and her kids.
What Led Us To Adoption
It has always been our plan to grow our family through adoption. We started this journey three years ago and took a break from the process because we were blessed with a fourth baby we never expected! We are so excited to finally add to our family through adoption and finish the calling God has placed in our hearts. Our children cannot wait to have a baby sister or brother to love on. We feel so honored God has called us to this journey and can’t wait to grow our family. Kourtney has three cousins through adoption, and two of Evan’s cousins have adopted. We realize what a special thing adoption is.
