We will tell them that families are created by love in many ways – with the most special by a love so great -that it cannot be contained by just one family.  We would let them know that their adoption was made with their future, health, and happiness in mind – and about your selfless and courageous love.

It has been both of our lifelong dreams to raise a family – to share our love with a child.  We promise to continue your love by raising them with unconditional kindness, understanding, love and to provide them with life long support and patience.  We hope to be role models in loving others, just as we have been blessed with love by so many.  We promise to remind them of your love that never ended, as ours never will either.

We believe faith is a critical part in providing a moral compass for our family. Most important is Love and Kindness to one another.  We hope to raise our family with this fundamental belief and participating in service to not only our communities but to the world.

We believe in a balanced life style.  This means doing well in studies, but also making time for sports, music, friends and, of course, family.  We will promote a well-rounded balanced life filled with positivity.

As athletic parents (one being a pediatric health professional), we plan to promote learning through movements to develop and strengthen the mind, body and soul.  We hope to involve our family in daily activities, being outdoors and interacting with one another as often as possible.  Although we may have family movie or game nights, we prefer to spend less time on the phone and television and more time outside in our beautiful yard or with their playmates – including Kona.  We hope to nurture their fun side by building forts, painting or playing make believe; Challenge their minds with fun puzzles; and Open their imagination during story time.

Education has played a large part of not only our lives but our families’ as well.  With the exception of 2, all our siblings have graduated from college and the older nieces and nephews attend college as well. We hope to continue that tradition with our family.  We will nurture their curiosity in all things and guide them towards a bright future that they choose.  They can be anything they want to be – but we will reinforce that it comes with hard work, perseverance and loving support.

Although we are successful in our careers and are able provide a financially stable home – we believe that life experiences & the simple things are the most rewarding.  Money cannot replace joyous and loving moments.
