Thank you for considering us as adoptive parents for your child. Adoption has been on our hearts for a while, especially since Rustine was adopted as a baby himself. We have been unable to have a child biologically and see adoption as a privilege for us to welcome a child and share our lives together. As a couple, we love being outside and are very family oriented. Our parents live nearby, and we get together often. It will be great having weekly dinners with the grandparents as our child grows up. We both have experience as paramedics and have been foster parents for children in need while we've hoped to grow our own little family. We would love to get to know you and look forward to sharing more about the life we want to share with a child. We live on the same property where Erin grew up! Our home is on 25 acres in the southern part of Illinois where it's quiet and peaceful. 

Thank you for learning more about us as you consider adoption. It would be a great privilege to be chosen as adoptive parents for your child. We put family first and your child will always be a priority. We hope to get to know more about you and answer any questions you have. If you'd like an open adoption, we would welcome the chance to stay in touch, share updates, and even have occasional visits as your child grows up.
