Hello & Thank You,
Thank you so much for taking the time to learn about our family. We cannot imagine the choices that you are faced with right now, but we hope you find all the support you need during your journey.
Our names are Sharon and Christian, and we have a sweet, snuggle-loving pup named Sadie. We have been married for five years and together for just over nine years. I knew Christian was the one when I spoke to him a few months into dating about my scariest secret: that my medical conditions would prevent me from carrying a biological child. When he looked into my eyes and told me that he would love any child in our lives, no matter how they came, I knew he was the one for me. Having spent the time to strengthen our relationship and marriage for several years, we both know our hearts are ready to love a child unconditionally.
Even before we met, Christian and I both had a goal to adopt. He has both an aunt and a sister who are adopted, making him appreciate all the love he would have missed without adoption. I have worked with many adoptive families and children in the process of being adopted. Seeing the love in these families and the impact on the children have inspired me for years to welcome a child into my heart through adoption.
Christian and I both come from large families that are absolutely thrilled at the possibility of welcoming a new child. Our close friend groups have also given us an incredible amount of support. They are a second family to us. Many of them have young children who call us Aunt and Uncle, and our friends are excited to become aunts and uncles themselves.
We envision raising a child to include fun bath times, reading to them, and snuggling as much as possible. I am so excited to teach our child Spanish in hopes that they will be bilingual, so many Spanish books will be present, and I hope to primarily speak Spanish around them.
Christian and I want to give them every opportunity possible. We have a home full of love and fun. There is never a day, or even an hour, without laughter and snuggles galore. Our friends and family exponentially increase our love and support and are there for us through everything. We cannot wait to bring a child into our lives to give him or her all the love and support they could ever desire.
We appreciate you taking the time to consider us and pray you feel at peace with your decision.
All our love,
Christian & Sharon
