Nickname(s): Mike and Carmen

Dear Birthmother,

This is truly the most emotional letter we have ever written. We hope it will open a window into our lives, enabling you to see us as a loving couple who will be devoted parents, making your baby our priority so that they can be inspired to make their dreams come true.

Even before we had our first date we knew we had chemistry. We met at work. We planned on attending a benefit for youth about a month down the road, but after a couple of weeks of lengthy emails and telephone calls, decided to make a lunch date. We didn’t want the date to end and went for a walk in the park after lunch. We have been inseparable ever since that day. We both believe children, as part of our family, would enrich our lives. We want to be a mom and dad, and we feel adoption is the perfect way to complete our family. Our friends and family agree!

We have a three-bedroom home on a corner lot in a quiet section of our small town. There is a beautiful old red cedar tree in our front yard that must be about 50 feet high. Our fenced backyard has a multi-level deck overlooking our flower and vegetable beds. There is a separate fenced dog area ideally designed for our two dogs. We maintain an active hummingbird feeder in our garden. We live within walking distance of several city and county parks; one has a swimming pool, a pond with ducks, a playground, and sport fields. And although we live in a small town, we live close to larger cities with all of their attractions and services, and the beach is only a 30 minute drive away.

Michael is a Fire Captain and has worked in the fire service since he was 18 years old. He loves what he does so much that he also volunteers for our town as a Captain and teaches fire technology classes, along with being a reserve police officer. Michael’s schedule allows him to be home an average of four days per week. Carmen works for a health care company as a senior staff assistant and plans on reducing her work hours in order to be at home more.

We both enjoy just about any outdoor activity, including camping, ATV riding, hiking, fishing (Michael is the one who is really good at it) and walking. We usually take one big vacation a year and a few small ones here and there. We attend weekly church services at a Christian church in town. We look forward to sharing our lives with children someday soon.

We will raise our children with a positive outlook on life, lots of encouragement, and lots of hugs and kisses. We will believe in them, nurture their interests, and encourage fun, the wonders of learning, and the importance of kindness and respect.

You and your baby are gifts from God.  

Carmen and Michael
