Dear Expectant Mom

From us to you, 

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for taking the time to read about us and the life and opportunities that we would like to offer your child. First of all, we admire the unconditional love that you have for your child in considering the alternative of adoption. We want you to know that if you choose us to raise your baby that we will love him or her so much and do everything in our power to ensure their happiness and well being. There is nothing that we pray for more in life than to love and raise a family together. We absolutely love being a mommy and daddy to our two-year-old, adopted son Michael, and cannot wait to have another child in our lives to love and cherish. 

Just to tell you a bit about us: We met when I (Kristan) was still in college. My dad actually introduced us to each other, and I reluctantly went out on a “blind” date with him one weekend when I came home from college. Obviously my dad knew best! We talked every day after that date and Mike started to visit me at college every chance that he could. Once I graduated, I was able to move back home to be closer to Mike. We dated for four years before getting married. 

We struggled with unexplained infertility for about 4 years, and then we decided to try having a baby through IVF. We finally became pregnant with the help of IVF only to suffer a devastating loss. We did grieve and healed emotionally and spiritually. 

On April 24, 2016 we received a call that changed our lives forever. Our son, Michael, was born and his birth mother selflessly and lovingly gave us the greatest blessing we have ever received… a beautiful baby to complete our family. Michael is now 2-years-old, and we have realized that our family is still not complete without one more member. We both feel strongly that we are meant to be a family of four and cannot wait to meet our newest addition. We each grew up with a sibling, Mike with a brother and Kristan with a sister, and we just feel that we are meant to have 2 children to raise with one another and to share our love, laughter and joy with. 

We look forward to going to the zoo and taking them fishing, family vacations to the beach or to the lakes and mountains in one of the many national parks, and spending time with family, including Mike’s brother’s two adopted children, who are 1 and 4-years-old. Next comes the first days of school, the sports or music classes that our children may be interested in, then onto college, first love and weddings etc. We’re looking forward to years and years of love to give and receive. These are our hopes and dreams for your child and Michael. We believe that God led us to adopt Michael, and we are ready and excited to adopt and love again!!! 

If you are the birth mother who feels that special connection to us, we want to reassure you that we will love your child as our own, as we do with Michael. We promise to do everything in our abilities to ensure that she or he is happy, healthy and lives a full life. We want you to know that your baby will be given a wonderful life of love and opportunity. 

We wish you love, peace and comfort in your journey to find that special family for your child. 

With Love,
Mike and Kristan

Q & A

Q: What do you like to do on weekends?
A: Typical weekends include time maintaining our home and spending time with our 2-year-old son Michael. We enjoy planting a garden and planting flowers in the spring. In summer months, we frequently go next door to Mike’s parents’ home to swim. In the evenings we both enjoy playing with Michael and spending a bit of time together once he is asleep. Sunday mornings are perfect for making a big family breakfast to enjoy together and we attend mass as often as we can on Sunday mornings as well. Weekends are also a perfect time to get away and go to an amusement park or animal park and then stop and get some ice cream.

Q: What will it mean to you to be parents again?
A: Family is so important to us….so when we were unable to start a family on our own we were so devastated. Then we were truly blessed with greatest gift from Michael’s birth mother. Her selfless act of love helped us live out our dream of starting a family. She gave us the ability to be parents and to love and care for a child. We have been given an opportunity to start a family to love and provide for. We would be so grateful if we were given the opportunity to grow our family and to have another child to raise and love. There would be no greater gift than to be able complete our family with another child.
