Ryan and Rebecca
Nickname(s): Ryan and Becky

Dear Birthmother,

Bottles and rattles, giggles and grins, this is where our love begins! We are Becky and Ryan and our words cannot begin to express our eagerness and excitement to accept the gift you are able to give.

Our friendship began in 1997 at college when we were neighbors in the dorms.  Little did we know our friendship would evolve from a walk to an evening class on campus to a walk down the wedding aisle in 2003.  We each married our best friend.  From day one we have experienced a friendship that is built on love, trust, honesty and laughter. After graduation we moved to a small suburb in California. Becky accepted her first teaching position in a new elementary school and Ryan accepted a position in the banking industry.  We fell in love with our new home and community and quickly settled into our new careers, meeting many wonderful co-workers and new friends.

We feel blessed that a few years later Becky’s family members decided to relocate to our community.  Her parents recently retired and wanted to be closer to their daughters and grandchildren. At the same time, her sister and husband accepted new jobs in our area and they were thrilled to move to our neighborhood with its excellent schools for their two children.  We are now very fortunate to all live within walking distance of each other.  Our community has a high achieving elementary school, nature trails, a small lake surrounded by a park for children, and most importantly, a family that enjoys being together.  Our child will play with cousins and grow up in a safe neighborhood surrounded by a close, loving family.

Ryan’s family lives a short plane ride away.  They own a successful family business and Ryan attributes much of his career success to the foundation that his parents built for him.  His success as a commercial banker has earned him a reputation of reliability, trust and knowledge in his field.  His job allows him to work only on week days, which enables us to spend more time together as a family.

Ryan is outgoing, funny, determined and is passionate about his interests.  He enjoys playing golf with friends, gardening, and cooking.  Becky is patient, loving, and kind.  She enjoys reading, swimming, spending time with her close circle of friends and teaching first grade.  Her love of children is evident in the classroom where she spends time not only teaching academics but also creating a loving and nurturing atmosphere in which her students flourish.

As we dream of our future together we realize the importance of spending time as a family.  Nightly dinners at the kitchen table where we can talk about our day, helping with homework before family time in the evenings, reading stories before getting tucked into bed are all things we are looking forward to.  We want to share our passion for life with our child and have them join us in our travels. Whether it is a summer camping trip or a trip to Europe, we know our child will be with us.  We remember seeing the Eiffel tower and saying to each other how we can’t wait to take our child there one day too.

We’ve always known that we wanted to share our lives with children.  After attempting to conceive for the past several years, we have realized that what is important to us is not a pregnancy but a child to love and fill our lives with happiness. The day we decided to move forward with the adoption process was like hearing that we were expecting. Adopting a child is the greatest gift we will ever receive.  Your courage and selfless act is one that we will be eternally grateful for.  We are eager to surround our child with love.

Becky and Ryan
