Loving Family Promises a Life of Laughter, Love and Security

Loving family promises a life of Love and Laughter

Our family ski trip Dear Birthparent -

Hi! We are Teri, David & Corey and we thank you for considering us as you make a plan for your baby. As you contemplate your options, we would like you to know that, as with our previous experience with birthparents, we are committed to doing whatever we can to make this situation as reassuring for you as possible. We respect you for taking such an active role in finding a loving home and we believe you should never have to wonder about your baby's wellbeing.

David & I met in college and were immediately drawn together by our sense of humor and playfulness. Though our efforts to build a family initially brought us much pain, we can always find a way to make each other laugh. After many miscarriages, we were thrilled to begin our family with the adoption of our precious son Corey 7 years ago! Every minute with him is a gift and we are truly grateful to his birthparents for making the brave decision to place him in our arms. We speak to Corey often about adoption and his birthparents. Our relationship with them is now totally open. They recently said they thought Corey was such a lucky kid. We all feel lucky and hope that knowing what our life as a family is like has made the process easier for them. They are happy to speak with you directly if you think that would be helpful.

Our Home and Lifestyle

Our home We moved to a house on a quiet cul-de-sac in the suburbs when Corey started kindergarten. Our town has good schools and community facilities. It is near the beach, ice skating rinks & small ski slopes. There are so many young families here and we have made lots of friends, mostly through Corey's activities.

We have a close extended family with lots of cousins to play with and grandparents to spoil them. Everyone lives reasonably close by and Corey's cousins play a big role in his life. We have lots of space and our family & friends know we love a full house. Whether it is big bar-b-ques in the summer or sleigh riding in the winter, our home is always open. Birthdays and holidays here are always over the top! In fact, our friends call our house "Camp David" because David always has tons of activities planned for our guests-both young and old.

Boating We are a very active, outdoorsy family. Our success in business has allowed us to trade busy careers for more flexibility. We take lots of child-oriented vacations, often with family or close friends. We strongly value education but don't believe in pushing too hard--With Corey, we just try to encourage his many interests and give him support in the areas that are more challenging for him.

Parenting is the most important job we can imagine and we are so proud of how we have approached it. This is our promise to you: If you entrust us with your baby he or she will be cared for by a stable, loving family in a most nurturing environment. You can count on having whatever information you decide you need in the future. That's the least we could do for you!

We couldn't possibly know what this decision is like for you. But in the end, it is not about pretty houses or fun vacations. It is about finding the most loving and supportive home for your baby. There is so much more we would like to share with you. It is difficult to express our feelings about family and adoption on a computer screen. We hope you will call to learn more about us!
