Hello, We are so excited to be adopting and bringing another child into our family! We have been waiting for another baby for six years! We are unable to have anymore on our own and feel God is calling us to adoption in order to grow our family. Our two children are beyond excited and ask almost every day when the baby will be here! It breaks our hearts a little more every day when we don’t have an answer for them, but we pray it will be soon. We do not understand the weight of the decision you have to make but we do know that it takes a strong, loving person to consider adoption for their child. We hope our story will help you in making your choice. We are excited to show you a little about our family and want you to know we would love for you to be as much a part of our family as you want to! Please know that no matter what you choose, we are already praying for you and your child to find the perfect fit.

We met in high school and have been together ever since! After college we spent several years working and traveling overseas, where our love for adoption grew. Christy has a bachelors degree in Children’s Education and was able to tutor children in English as they prepared to be united with heir forever families, while Caleb worked to mentor the youth in job training and leadership skills. We are now settled in Illinois surrounded by our extended families. Christy is thrilled to be a stay at home mom. Christy enjoys baking and reading and is always trying out new recipes. Caleb loves sports and academics. He recently completed his Dr. degree in non-profit leadership. He is passionate about helping youth better their situations and get find ways out of hard places. He is currently developing a work studies program for the youth in our community. Caleb is also a high school wrestling coach and recently started teaching classes at our local college. We have two children Luke, and Addison. Luke was born in Illinois between oversea jobs and Addison was born while working in Thailand. We love to travel and go on adventures together just as much as they love to cuddle up on the couch and watch a movie. Some of our favorite things to do together as a family are movie and popcorn nights, bike rides, trips to the beach, and making gingerbread houses every Christmas

We are so humbled that you would consider helping us grow our family. We have been praying for you and your baby and know that God will lead you to the perfect family for your child. Please always know that we will unconditionally love and cherish your child and we will make sure he/she will be proud to be adopted. We have prayed and cried more tears over the past few years than ever before, waiting and wondering if God would ever answer our prayers and bring us another baby. Every time we visit our nephews our children beg for another brother or sister and our hearts break a little bit more every time because we know we cannot provide that for them on our own. They too are longing to add a baby to our family, and we are so honored that you would think joining our family. Please know that no matter what your decision is we are blessed to have been able to write to you today and will continue to pray for you and baby in the days ahead.
