Cory & Brittany are hopeful adoptive parents from Utah waiting to adopt a baby.

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

Our Letter Dear Friend,
Thank you for taking the time to read our letter and getting to know our family a little better. We know that we can't begin to understand how difficult all of this is; but we want you to know that we're grateful for the hope and chance birthparents give us to add onto our little family. Family is everything to us and all we do is planned and based around it.

To tell you a little about us, we met in college in 1996 and became good friends immediately. After several months our friendship grew into love and we got married in July of 1997. It’s been almost 15 years, and they have just flown by. But through all the “storms of life” it has been our friendship that has strengthened our marriage and helped us. Now, after all these years, we have all these funny inside jokes and hand signals that let us tell each other we love each other. Our favorite is our back-wards wave goodbye. It’s like when you see a little child waving good-bye, but their hand is facing the wrong direction. It’s just our way of saying ‘I Love You’. So we’ll do our little wave and say, “I do this”. It’s kind of corny, but it’s just our thing. We also have a favorite phrase, it’s “love you more”.

We have both earned our Associates of Science degree. Cory has earned a Bachelor’s and a Master’s degree in Nursing. We feel that knowledge and a good education are important to every person’s life; they provide both understanding of the world around us and can give a person greater self-confidence.

We live in a young neighborhood with lots of children. We have quite a view with a lake nearby and mountains all around – it’s beautiful. We have a fully fenced backyard with plenty of grass for playing, a large swing set and trampoline for high-energy children. Cory moved around quite a bit while growing up so we're excited for our family to have a home we can call our own.

Both of us come from large families and we feel that all children need siblings. We can’t imagine being without our family. Our best friends are each other and the members of our families. We would rather spend our days together and with our children than with anyone else. Living close to our extended families has helped us to continue strong family relationships. Both of our families are very supportive of the decisions we have made and do make in our lives. They are all so excited to see our family grow.

Our little family is a lot of fun, love, and laughter (and a little healthy chaos) type of family. Where our family motto should be what a sign in our bathroom says: “Welcome to Camp Run-a-Muk: Snipe Hunting, Bear Wrestling, and Skinny Dipping” (in the bath tub of course). We let every day be a new start and go with whatever comes.

We enjoy spending as much time together as possible. We like to read together, play games of all sorts, do puzzles, play outside, jump on the trampoline, go on walks, go the park, and do anything that has to do with sports.

Brittany takes great joy in planning our many family activities and vacations together. Sometimes they are just weekend get-a-ways to a close by attraction. And other times, it’s the big attractions like Disneyland and Sea World. But wherever we are, we enjoy spending the time together and away from the all the regular daily schedules.

Thank you for the chance and hope you us and others. Thank you for being the strong individual that you are. We love, respect and appreciate you with all our hearts.

Your Friends,
Cory, Brittany, Taylor, Joshua, Samantha & Ashley
