Dear Friends,
Thank you for looking at our profile and taking the time to get to know us. We hope you feel peaceful and comforted as you make decisions about your precious child. We can’t imagine the emotions you are feeling but know we are praying for you.
We are excited to meet you and get to know you. Choosing a family for your child is a huge decision. We hope our words touch your heart. May you feel love, blessings and peace at this important time in your life.
We are excited to build our family through adoption. We hope and plan for an open adoption. We want your child to know you and you to know your child with a level of openness that works for all of us.
We enjoy spending time with our extended families. We are able to see our brothers and sisters, nieces and nephews and even cousins on both sides of our family. Our parents, brothers and sisters are spread all over the country and we keep in touch with email, phone calls, and visits. Everyone in our family is so supportive of adoption. They are all hoping and praying that we will have the opportunity to be parents soon. We are excited to build our family through adoption. We hope and plan for an open adoption.

We are best friends and have wanted children since getting married. It was a little disheartening when children did not join our family right away; and more discouraging when fertility treatments did not bring us the children we continue to hope for.
Both of us enjoy doing different things and we enjoy doing things together. Jake is out going and great with numbers. I (Terri) am more reserved and good with words. Jake enjoys sports (both playing and watching) and I enjoy crafts and gardening. Jake enjoys making up and playing games and sports with our nieces and nephews. I love reading aloud to children and watching them grow, learn and discover the world. Together, we think Jake’s strengths even out my weaknesses and my strengths even out Jake’s weaknesses.
Some of the many things we enjoy doing together are: cooking, traveling to historical sights, playing tennis, home improvement projects and spending time with our extended families. We are a great team and enjoy spending time together.
The thought of becoming parents is very exciting to us. We have many hopes and dreams for the children that join our family. We want our children to know our love for each other and for them. Our faith is important to us and we plan for our children to be involved in our church also. We know children are a blessing and a responsibility. Knowing we will learn many things on this journey, we take the responsibility of raising children very seriously.
We admire your courage during this process. It is hard to answer all the questions you may have with this letter. We look forward to talking with you to answer more questions and get to know you!
Terri and Jake
