Dear Birthmother,
Dear Expectant Mother,
First we would like to thank you! Thank you for choosing life for your baby and for choosing to allow your body to go through the difficult changes that come with growing a baby. You are incredible! Since we have not personally gotten to experience this, we don’t know firsthand what it is like, but the miracle of creating a baby is a beautiful thing! You are a superhero in our eyes, and we will be forever grateful for your decision if you choose us to raise your precious miracle as our own!
We want to share all of our love and favorite things with your precious child. Being
God-fearing Christians, we will raise any child we are blessed with in the same manner. Your precious miracle will be loved unconditionally! They will always know you love them so much that you gave us the opportunity to raise them in a good, safe, love-filled home! From the bottom of our hearts and with our full souls, we thank you for this gift you are considering giving us!
Sincerely,
Shannon & Chris
Our Home
Our home is a three-bedroom, Cape Cod-style home in a quiet neighborhood, where many of its residents are former and retired military personnel. We have turned our entire front lawn into a charming English garden with a variety of flowers and shrubs. We have a small backyard with a few trees. Our school district is among the highest rated in our area. There are several metroparks very close to our neighborhood, and we have an aviation museum within a very short drive. There are community events throughout the year that are always fun and family oriented. We currently have two dogs (both rescues), Kefi and Filos, and two cats, Cheetah and Moonbeam aka Chunkyfuzz.
Our Extended Family
Chris is the fourth out of five children in his family. His dad was an only child, but his mother was the oldest of six. Chris has several aunts, uncles, and cousins on his mother’s side. Shannon is the second out of seven children. Shannon lived too far away from her dad’s family to connect well with them. We have 16 nieces and nephews ranging in age from 3 to 24 and living all over the country.
Traditions are a big part of who we are, so family gatherings can be loud and boisterous. Fun is always had, and memories are made! Each holiday carries different traditions for both sides of our family, and Thanksgiving is the BIG holiday celebrated by Chris’s family, while Christmas, New Year’s, and Greek Easter are the BIG ones celebrated by Shannon’s family.
