Nickname(s): Al and Charlotte

Dear Birthmother,

What a courageous and loving person you are.  We will be praying for you and the precious child that you carry.  We both admire you for giving your little one life and a chance to develop into a loving human being.  We will cherish your precious gift to us. We are anxious to hold our little darling and we’ll anticipate the smiles and the hugs we’ll enjoy.

Some people are just called upon to parent. We feel we were chosen by God to adopt. We have three adopted daughters.  Chelsea was adopted in Kyrgyzstan and attends a private Christian high school.  She is a wonderful student and a lovely girl.  Charity was born in Russia and enjoys art and likes to draw and has taken guitar lessons. Caitlyn is our youngest.  She likes to swim and shoot basketballs, ride bikes, and play at the park.  She is most excited about having a new little sister.

Al is the founder and executive director of many charitable organizations.  He is also an investor and continues to keep current his Nursing Home Administrator’s license. He enjoys serving on the advisory board of a special camp where young people can ride horses, swim in a lake, and enjoy boating or sand volleyball.  This charitable organization has successfully served our community and has been a wonderful influence on the teenagers and families that it has served. 

Charlotte is a very loving mother.  She enjoys playing the piano and singing.  She will also love and cherish a new baby daughter.  Charlotte also keeps her Nursing Home Administrator’s license current and has served as administrator in two facilities.  She also has done substitute teaching and is a Licensed Practical Nurse.  She is now a stay-at-home mom and feels this is her most rewarding job.

Al is very active with our family.  He plays in the pool with Caitie, rides bikes with her and takes her to the park to watch the teams play ball.  He patiently plays board games with our three daughters.  Al has faithfully shared responsibilities with our daughters.  He has provided daily transportation to school and help with homework.  He has traveled and vacationed with the family many times. He clearly loves Chelsea, Charity, and Caitie; and will also love and cherish your precious gift to us.

We have both been very involved in charitable work.  We have been active in opening an orphanage in Moldova.  These children’s homes have been very successful. An orphanage was built in Peru, also. We have traveled and taken all our children with us to Moldova and Ukraine.  We have taken all three girls to Canada, Mexico, and Disney World.

Our home has a large yard with a trampoline and an in-ground pool. We have a driveway and a sidewalk where a little one can ride a tricycle or be pushed in a stroller. We live near a lovely park with a great playground which all three girls have enjoyed so many times.

Al is an only child, and Charlotte has one older brother.  Her niece adopted two children from Korea.  Charlotte also has a cousin who adopted two children who were born in Nicaragua.  Our close friends have also adopted children here in Missouri.  So adoption is not new to us and is very dear to our hearts.

If you decide to entrust your precious child to our love and care, you may be very sure that we will love and cherish your gift to us. We will give her a loving home.

With respect and admiration,
Al and Charlotte
