Nickname(s): Scott and Christine

Dear Birthmother,

Hello, our names are Christine and Scott. We want to thank you for taking the time to read about us and for considering us as adoptive parents to your baby. We want you to know how grateful we are that you are choosing life for your child. We would like you to know that if you give us this opportunity, your baby will know about you and how she came to be part of our family. She will be raised in a nurturing home full of love and security. We love being parents and can’t wait to share that love with another child.

Scott and I met a little over eight years ago and have been married since August of 2000. We lived in the same condominium complex and met when Scott was moving in to his new home. We knew immediately we had something very special! We have shared values in the areas of religion, family, finances, education, and health. Our wish was to have three children, so we immediately started our family. We have already been blessed with two sons, Alex (age 5) and Andrew (age 3). We had hoped for a third child, but due to medical concerns, we can no longer have another child on our own.

Scott and I are very happy together and we cherish every moment we get to spend with our children. We enjoy an active lifestyle with Colorado providing so many ways for a family to enjoy the outdoors. We live in a neighborhood full of young families, with parks, trails and swimming pools close by. Our children already enjoy a large, fenced-in back yard with playground equipment where they have spent countless hours playing with our dogs and the neighborhood kids. While a lot of our time is focused on our children’s activities (school, sports, birthdays), our family particularly likes to go skiing, hiking or traveling to new places. We enjoy volunteering our time to support our church and our children’s private school. Scott even finds the time to coach Alex’s soccer team. Even with a busy schedule, Scott and I always make it a priority to get away for an occasional dinner date or night at the theatre. In particular, we always make a point to go away and spend time together on our anniversary. While there is so much opportunity to get out and do things, we are truly most happy just hanging out at home with our kids.

We are part of a large and loving extended family. Each of Christine’s three siblings and their families are close by. Both sets of grandparents also have homes in Colorado. We get together often for birthdays, holidays and other celebrations. Altogether, our children already have 11 cousins (with another 2 on the way – so they would hopefully be close to the same age as our adopted child). We also consider our Nanny, Kasey, to be part of our family. She comes during the day on weekdays to help with the kids. She is loving and such a positive influence on our children’s lives. We also consider the relationships we formed through our church, neighborhood and children’s school a part of our family as well.

While this is only a glimpse of our life, we hope to have the opportunity for each of us to get to know each other better. Our thoughts and prayers are with you in your decision to do what is best for you and your baby.

With Love and Respect, Christine and Scott
