ADOPTING AND CARING FOR YOUR BABY... 

When we learned we couldn't have children, we immediately wanted to adopt. Karen has an adopted sister and has always been interested in adopting children.

Open adoption seems to us like the best way for children to know how very much they are loved, by birthparents and adoptive parents alike. We have already experienced the process once, and we believe it is the best way to handle adoption.

If you chose us as the adoptive parents for your child, your child will have an older sibling who shares the experience of open adoption.

We would love to welcome you into our lives, and to have an open, committed relationship with you. We promise that you will know that your child is loved unconditionally.

Throughout your baby's childhood, we want to teach him or her to be responsible, honest, caring, and open-minded. We will encourage our children to follow their dreams and to be their own unique and wonderful selves. We also promise that your child will know how much you love him or her, and we will make sure you will know how much your child loves you! 

Thank you for considering us as adoptive parents for your baby!

Derek is excited about the prospect of a new brother or sister, and he's already practicing!

There is definitely room for two on Karen's lap!
