Bucky & Angie are hopeful adoptive parents from Washington waiting to adopt a baby.

If you are pregnant and considering placing your child for adoption, please read the following Dear Birthmother Letter.

Dear Birth Mother, As you are read this letter and profile, we hope our words speak to your heart and soul. We also hope it gives you a glimpse into our daily lives and helps you in your decision making process. As parents of a three year old daughter (who we adopted through Gladney), we can tell you first hand that your gift of life will touch so many lives in so many incredible ways. There isn’t a day that goes by that we don’t think of our daughter’s birth mother and how her decision gave us, and our entire family, an angel we will love and adore for an eternity. It has always been our desire to have two children and we are beyond excited to welcome another angel to our family!

There are so many things we want you to know about us – so let’s start at the beginning.

How we met…

Bucky and I met over 16 years ago in college. We had an English class together and sat one row apart. We didn’t know each other – but couldn’t help but stare at each other all the time! One day, after class, we started talking about a test we had taken. The next thing you know – we’re having lunch together and talking about our future goals and dreams. After the very first lunch date, it was very evident there was something special between us. Our goals and dreams were exactly the same. We talked about the importance of balancing careers and family and how it would be ideal to have two children. Not bad for a first lunch date!

As we dated through college, we fell deeply in love. We built a strong foundation of mutual respect and admiration for each other. While earning our business degrees, we enjoyed taking many classes together and attended football games and social events with our friends. Before we graduated, we decided to get engaged and married. Our families were completely supportive of our relationship and marriage. After we received our Bachelor of Business Administration degrees, I worked full-time at a bank, while Bucky worked part-time at the university and earned his Master’s degree. We felt (and still feel) incredibly blessed to have met so early in life.

Married life…. After we married and Bucky completed graduate school, we couldn’t wait to begin our careers and start saving money for our first home. We knew that as soon as we had our home – we could begin the process of starting a family. Until that time, though, we enjoyed every minute together as a couple and took many trips together. We loved traveling to many beautiful places around the world, like Europe, Hawaii and the Bahamas.

As we entered our late twenties, and had accomplished many of our goals (including owning a home), we decided that it was time to start our family. After trying to conceive unsuccessfully for a couple of years, we decided it was time to get help from an infertility specialist. Unfortunately, after spending five years undergoing infertility treatment, we experienced three miscarriages. It was an incredibly painful experience.

An answer to a prayer…

After seeking advice from several doctors, we were told that we could still conceive a child - but that it would require “controversial/non-FDA approved” methods. Neither of us felt good about going down that path and we both knew, without a doubt, God wanted us to adopt. When we realized what God’s plan was - we were both beyond excited and couldn’t wait to get started with the adoption process!

After researching several agencies, we felt that Gladney was right for us. We had an incredible experience and were blessed with our daughter, Faith. Faith’s birth mother is an amazing young woman. There isn’t a day that goes by that we don’t think of her. As Faith grows older, we will help her understand that her birth mother’s decision was made out of love. We will absolutely do the same for your child as well.

Our family today… We are a family who believes in having fun! Both Bucky and I grew up in Texas and recently moved to the beautiful state of Washington. It has been an incredible experience and we truly love our new home and surrounding area! We have been able to take advantage of all the beautiful parks and outdoor scenery. The mountains and lakes are breathtaking. We have wonderful neighbors and live in a neighborhood with lots of children of all ages. We are within walking distance of parks and an elementary school. Everyone here is focused on family values and feels a sense of community. We feel very blessed to live in such a special place.

Even though Bucky has an executive level position with a well respected company, he spends as much time as possible with his family. From the moment he walks in the door – he is completely devoted to us. He does whatever he can to help me and spend quality time with his daughter. I am blessed beyond words that he is such a loving, devoted husband and father.

As for myself, I am a full-time stay-at-home mom. Although I enjoyed my profession in the corporate arena for over ten years, I stopped working before Faith was born. I have no regrets and feel so very fortunate that Bucky’s income gives me the ability to stay at home so that I can devote all my time and energy to love, nurture and provide for our family in every way.

Our hope for you and the future… We want to assure you that, should you choose us as adoptive parents, we will love your child unconditionally and provide for them in every way…spiritually, emotionally, and physically. We will raise your child in a Christian home and give them every opportunity to develop into the person God intends. It is very important to us that you feel peace in your heart if you select us as the adoptive parents for your child, and will gladly correspond with you, through Gladney, after your child is born.

We wish you the best and look forward to answering any questions you may have about us or our profile. May God bless you and the little angel you are carrying!

Love,
Angie, Bucky & Faith
