Although we’ve never met, we want you to know we are praying for you and the decision you are about to make. We understand that this decision can’t be easy for you. But, oh, how we thank you for considering adoption. Our daughter was chosen for us by her birth mother and we are grateful beyond words for this gift. Even if you do place your child for adoption, we know you will always be bound to him or her. We will share your heartache with your child as we endeavor to raise him or her with great love and care.

We are a family who loves to laugh and live everyday to the fullest. We hope you will read more about us by clicking on our picture. We would like to adopt a biracial baby so our children will share ethnicity.

We have both wanted to be parents for as long as we can remember. We each grew up with plans of becoming a wife and a husband and a mommy and daddy. We were blessed a few years ago with a daughter by a birth mother, maybe much like you.

All three of us want a sibling for our daughter. She loves babies and can’t wait to have one in our family. We desperately want the chance to raise a second child, whether a boy or girl. What matters to us is that we know we will be great parents to any child God would send us. We have a home that is full of love and devotion to each other and our Savior, Jesus Christ. We have a home that is comfortable and welcoming, lived in and cared for.

We are the kind of parents that go to our child’s ball games and who get down on the floor and color with crayons. We watch Saturday morning cartoons. We are the kind of parents that run through the waves at the beach, that ride the scrambler so our child can “smoosh” us, that bandage up all those inevitable scrapes. And we are also the kind of parents who teach our child right from wrong. We are the kind of parents that listen to our child’s problems no matter how great or small. We want to instill values of family, church and friendship. We want to instill the value of hard work, and the pleasure and reward of a job well done. We want our children to be proud of who they are and what they can become.

Our Life

Our home is comfortable with three bedrooms and a fenced yard. We keep it nice, but it is a home in which we play and have fun with our daughter and two dogs. We have steady, reliable incomes and work reasonable hours, leaving plenty of time for spending time as a family. We enjoy yearly vacations, usually to the beach, and short trips to spend time with family. We absolutely love holidays! Halloween is our chance to dress up and have fun. We spend Christmas and other holidays with family and birthdays are another great chance to go all out. We are members of a local church where our daughter enjoys many activities with children her age like Bible School, weekly Sunday school, and many other special activities. We have many close friends in the church who we consider family. They love and adore our daughter and here she interacts with other children from her African American culture, as well as other biracial children. Our large extended family consists of grandparents, aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, and cousins who are all excited about having another baby in the family.

Adoption has touched our family in other ways. Our niece was adopted and years ago, another family member made the tough choice you are facing and placed her newborn for adoption. We have seen both sides: the joy and the sorrow that your choice can bring. We vow to share your story with your child so he or she will know of your love and pain. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts for considering adoption. We praise your courage and strength and hope these words give you encouragement and hope. Without birth parents like you, we would have no hope. Thank you for taking the time to read our profile, but most of all, thank you for the blessed life you are bringing into this world, regardless of whether you choose us to raise your child. We are glad we could share some of ourselves with you.

We are willing to provide an update to you each year detailing the growth and accomplishments of your child. We hope this will give you the reassurance of the love and care we will provide.

We hope you will contact our adoption agency to see our scrapbook so you may see many more photos about our daily lives and fun times together.

May God bless and keep you,

Dwayne & Jill
