Cole & Terry
Dear Birth Parent,
Thank you for reading our profile and considering us as adoptive parents for your child. We are extremely excited to be parents and raise a family! We intend to give your child unconditional love, acceptance, discipline, encouragement, and a life full of wonderful experiences and opportunities.
This year celebrates our 10 year wedding anniversary–our marriage is priceless to us. Everything we do, we do together, as a team. One of the hopes and dreams we have had is to raise a family. Since the very beginning of our marriage we knew we wanted children and the topic of adoption was part of that discussion. We both agreed that adoption would be a special way to have a family. We did try for a number of years to have children on our own but were unsuccessful. It was then that we knew our family would come by way of adoption.
In July of 2007 we adopted our first child, Jonah. He is a wonderful boy, and a true blessing from above. He will make a great big brother. Jonah has a happy disposition (like Cole) and an adventurous spirit (like Terry). We both grew up with siblings and strongly value the lifelong friendship and support of a brother or sister. Because of our experience, it is important to us that our children have each other to share life with.
Our family could be described as friendly, active and down-to-earth. We enjoy the outdoors and spend much of our free time engaged in outdoor activity, going to the park, or relaxing in the backyard. We are also dedicated to maintaining strong loving relationships with family and friends. Therefore, we frequently have friends join us for meals or invite them to participate in our activities. We also visit or vacation with family many times throughout the year.
Terry’s thoughts on Cole—I was initially attracted to Cole by his beautiful huge eyes and his big heart. He is always willing to help others. As a twin, Cole came into our marriage with a desire to laugh, love, and experience life together. He sees everything in terms of “us” or “we”, not I. I adore that about him. He is easy going, insanely optimistic and fun loving. His gentleness will also make him a very kind and encouraging father.
Cole’s thoughts on Terry—I love my wife: her beauty, strong faith, and love of the outdoors. Terry is my partner for life. I can always count on her for love, support, and friendship. Terry brings an adventurous and passionate spirit to our marriage and I love her for that. Whenever life begins to get boring or too stressful she is quick to point out our need to enjoy each other and have fun together.
Birth Parent—choosing to place your child for adoption may be the most difficult decision you will ever make. And we understand that it is a decision you have made out of love. We will, to the best of our ability, make that loving sacrifice known to your child. When our children ask about their adoption we intend to be honest with them and respond with love and tenderness. Please know that it would be our honor to receive your child as our own.
Thank you for considering us.
