Dear Birthparents
- Ray and Esther
Dear Birthparents,
This has to be very difficult for you. Picking the right family for your precious one is probably one of the hardest decisions you will ever make. But you made the right decision already, choosing life for your baby. Thank you for reading our letter and looking at our pictures.
Although we have children, we have experienced many pregnancy losses, carrying a baby to full term has been difficult for us.

These are the six children that are still at home: Micah 16, Ian 14, Shyloh 11, Faith 8, Mazie 7 and Benjamin 3.
I am a stay at home mom with a college degree. Since I am home, making doctor and therapy appointments is not a problem. I like to bake and garden. I also love to learn; anything and everything is a target for me to read about. I can be feisty when it comes to advocating for services the children need. Together, we make a great team!!!!
Some of our children do have some difficulties, either physical or learning.
We let each child determine what they can do, not some book or statistic. When they need assistance, therapies or medical care, we search high and low for the right help for them.
We know that God has a special plan for each one of them, and our job is to love them and help them find their talents and strengths.
You might be wondering why we want to adopt when we have children already. All we know is our hearts <3 <3 feel there is a little one missing from our family. We are hoping to find that precious one.
It is neat to see the children play together and tease each other. We both know when times get tough, family sometimes is all you can depend on. Your little one will have lots of support from siblings, they will never be alone.
I know you love your little one already, and be sure, if you chose our family, we would love them so much. Your little one would not doubt that we care, that we listen, and that we will help. Your baby is precious and we would treat him or her like the treasure God made them to be.

Regardless of the diagnosis, we know that family helps make things better.

We promise to send the updates and pictures on the schedule you decide you want. We want you to have that reassurance that he or she is OK and happy.
Once again, thank you for considering our family for your baby.
Love, Ray and Esther
