Dear Birthmother,

We would like to acknowledge the difficult decision that you are making, and would like to thank you for your consideration in choosing adoption. You are making what will probably be one of the most difficult decisions that you will ever make. Choosing to place your baby for adoption is a bittersweet gift, a painful decision for you and the gift of a lifetime for us. In our home, your baby will be blessed with all of the love and opportunities that we can provide.

Eric was born in Ogden, Utah and split his childhood between there and Everett, Washington. He is the youngest of six children, one of which is a fraternal twin brother. We are lucky to have two of his brothers that live within ten minutes of us.  

Dear Birth Parents and Family,

Thank you for taking the time to learn about us. We're sure that you have a lot going on in your life and you have some tough decisions to make. We appreciate all the thought and prayer you have put into exploring your options. We applaud you for even considering adoption. We wish you the best as you search for answers.

What we're all about:

I grew up in San Diego and come from a family of eight. Most of my family is still in Southern California so it's rough when we HAVE to go visit! I am obsessed with sports and played volleyball, waterpolo, baseball, football, wrestling & lacrosse at some point in my early years. My childhood is littered with memories of scouting trips, sporting achievements, church, snowboarding trips and late nights with friends.

 Hello,
We are Ryan and Libby from Salt Lake City, Utah.  We like to think of ourselves as loving, intelligent, responsible and funny people and, unless our friends and family have been lying to us, we are not far off the mark.

We met in 2001 at a New Year’s Eve party and, as corny as that sounds, have been in love ever since. We married in 2005, bought a house, got a dog, Sally, two cats, Rita and Alice, and some fish, and started planning for the day we would have children.  After almost three years of trying to conceive that day still has not come. So, we are looking to adoption to grow our family.

We both already have a lot interaction with children in our daily lives. Ryan is the Assistant Principal at a private High School within walking distance of our house. Every day he counsels, teaches, and cares for more than three hundred teens. He even travels with them, and has taken groups of students to Tonga, Italy, and New Orleans.

Dear Birth Parents,

Though we cannot fully understand the weight of your decision to place your child for adoption, we know that God loves you and your baby. We pray that you will feel His love and support at this time. We are John, Wendi and Alexander and we hope that sharing some information about us may help you in your decision.

Dear Birth Parent:

We are honored that you have taken a moment to meet our family. We can’t imagine how difficult this time is for you and we truly admire your courage and willingness to consider adoption. Through our adoption experience we have gained a deep appreciation of the struggle and sacrifice of birth parents. They have taught us so much about faith and love. Please know that many prayers will be with you as you decide what is best for you and your baby.

It’s hard to put into words just how we feel and is just as hard to understand all of the feelings that you may be having. We hope you know that you are watched over and we are praying for you. We can only imagine what you are going through and the strength and courage you must have as you make these important decisions. It is difficult to sum us up with a few words and pictures but hopefully you can get a feel for the kind of people we are.

We met at church and were friends for about 3 years until the stars aligned and we started dating. We dated for 1 year and then while fishing one day, Deidra reeled in a big fake diamond ring and Steve proposed. We were married 3 months later, at the end of 2000.
