Randy & Tracy are hopeful adoptive parents from Ohio waiting to adopt a baby.

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

Dear Birthparents, We thank you for the opportunity to introduce ourselves. We are Randy and Tracy, and for as long as we have been married (11 years), it has been our dream to be parents. We feel blessed to have the opportunity to expand our family through adoption and we are so looking forward to our wonderful future as parents. We have such admiration for you, and we know that the decision you’ve made to choose adoption for your child comes with immense love, concern, and thoughtful consideration. We know that this is a difficult choice, and we thank you for taking the time to learn about us.

Although it would be impossible for us to tell you everything about us, or to put into words our deep desire to raise and love a child, we will try to give you a good idea of who we are and our vision of a happy family!

About Us
How it all began!

The day we met was quite appropriate for our lives, as it was April Fools day 1995 . . . we’ve been fools in love ever since! A mutual friend thought we’d make an excellent pair, and boy was she right! After dating for a year, we went on vacation together to Cancun. On a moonlit walk on the beach, Randy got down on one knee and proposed. A year later we had a beautiful outdoor June wedding. We were overwhelmed with joy and happiness when the minister pronounced us man and wife. God blessed us that day, and has ensured that our bond has grown even stronger over our eleven years of marriage.




Tracy (Written by Randy)

I know of no one in this world who would make a better mother than Tracy. She is kind, gentle, and loving. Her concern for others, generosity, and creative mind will make her an excellent mother. If a friend needs help, or a lost dog is found wandering the streets... she is always ready to lend a hand. She is very affectionate, more than anyone I have ever known. She’s made such an impression on a friend’s son that one of his first words was “Tracy”. When the day comes for us to be parents, Tracy will be a stay-at-home mom. I can’t wait to see what creative projects Tracy and our child will color, paint, build, and cook together. There is no way to quantify the amount of love Tracy will shower on our child each and every day of our lives.



Randy (Written by Tracy)

Randy is my best friend and is the most loving and supportive husband that I could have ever asked for. When I first met Randy, I was immediately drawn to his friendly and outgoing personality. On our first date he taught me to play Euchre and cooked me a tasty meal of chicken and rice. It didn’t take many more dates for me to realize that he was the “one”. Years later, he still amazes me... not too long ago we took dance lessons together. As it turned out, neither of us were great dancers, but his positive attitude made our awkward attempts at dancing fun. Randy is great with kids. The children in our neighborhood absolutely love him because he is always willing to play ball and he has the coolest radio-controlled airplanes and cars that he gladly drives and flies with them. I know that he will be a great father, the kind of father who will not only play with our child, but a father who will teach good values. His passion for life and his willingness to lead by example will make him an excellent father.

Our Home
Thinking ahead to the day we would become parents, led us to put much thought into finding our home. Six years ago we built a new home. We are so pleased to have found just what we were looking for… a tight-knit community built for growing families, with a great school system and many fun activities nearby. We love the fact that within our neighborhood there are soccer fields, tennis courts, and miles of biking and walking trails. Just up the street from us, there is a community swimming pool and playground; we foresee a lot of fun family activities there. Our four-bedroom house is at the end of a cul-de-sac and we are lucky to have a large backyard with a beautiful garden. Our child will have plenty of space to run and play with neighborhood friends.

Hobbies & Interests

Tracy... I love practically everything that is “design” related... garden landscaping, interior design, and art. Recently, I went back to school and earned a degree in Visual Communications. As a child, I loved being part of the Girls Scouts, playing with my Barbies, roller-skating, dancing, and gymnastics. In school, art class was my favorite. I also enjoyed playing sports like basketball and volleyball. In high school, I was a runner and on the varsity cross-country team. My love of fashion led me to work after school at the local hair salon during my teen years.

Randy... I’m a big sports fan. I enjoy watching the Cincinnati Reds, Bengal’s, & Ohio State. I like most anything that is mechanical and full of imagination. For fun I enjoy working in the garage... on my Miata. As a child, I loved going on fishing trips with my Dad, brother, and Grandpa. Every summer I played in the neighborhood creek with my brother... we’d catch crawdads and toads. I also loved, and still do, to be outdoors riding bikes and hiking in the woods. Growing up I always played sports like football, baseball, and soccer with my neighborhood friends.

Together...Randy and I have lots of fun. We love to dine out and find it exciting to try new restaurants. Family and friends are very important to us; therefore we often have them over to our house to enjoy dinners and cookouts. We play board games, and during the summer we play outdoor games like corn-hole and volleyball. For exercise we ride our bikes and roller-blade/skate. Not too long ago we worked together to create a garden-landscape in our backyard that included an outdoor train layout in it. While I was planting the flowers, Randy was laying out the train track and buildings.

Work

Eleven years ago we purchased a store that specializes in selling toys and hobbies. Owning and managing our own business together has been a great experience, plus it is really nice to work in a fun environment. We look forward to seeing our child play with the many great toys that we sell. At the store, Randy is a natural salesman, while I enjoy managing much of the behind-the-scenes office work. Together, with the help of our great employees and loyal customers, we have doubled our store's size over the last eleven years. We are fortunate to have the flexibility that goes along with being business owners. Much of the office work of our store can be done at home, which will give me the opportunity to be a stay-at-home mom.

Life & Education

We are very excited about being able to introduce our child to a wide variety of life's experiences--festivals, picnics, parks, roller-coaster rides, skiing, the beach, the zoo, and so much more. We will encourage our child to pursue his or her dreams and goals. If our child is interested in sports, Randy and I look forward to being a coach. If he or she is interested in art, dance, music, science…we will be sure to encourage that passion. Education is also very important, and we will be sure that our child is given all the learning opportunities in the world. We will encourage him or her to seek a career in a field that brings happiness. College, trade-school, etc.; whatever path is chosen...we will be sure that he or she is given an extended education beyond high-school, if so desired.

We both enjoy learning and have earned College degrees. I have a Bachelor’s degree in Marketing and an Associate degree in Visual Communications (graphic design). Randy has a Bachelor’s degree in both Finance and Management.

Parenting

We strongly believe that family comes first, and we are committed to raising our child with love, kindness and respect. The following are some basic parenting ideas that we believe to be true.

1. A parent cannot be too loving.
It is simply not possible to spoil a child with love.
2. Parents should be involved in their child’s life.
It means being there mentally, as well as physically.
3. Not all children are the same.
We will encourage our child’s individuality
4. Parental authority is based on wisdom, not on power.
5. Rules and decisions should be explained.
What may seem obvious to an adult, is not always obvious to a child.
6. Children should be treated with respect.
The relationship we have with our child will be the foundation for her relationships with others.

Our Promise To You
Although we are so blessed to have each other, we do have a void in our lives. Infertility has left us unable to carry our child, but we know that we are meant to be parents and we are so thankful for Adoption. We know that being parents will be the most important role of our lives, and we want you to know that we will take the privilege of being “Mom and Dad” very seriously. Our top priority will be to raise our child to be happy and confident; and be assured that your baby will be cherished and loved with all our hearts. We will be sure that your child knows of your beautiful and self-less act of love, and depending on your desire for openness, we would gladly share letters, e-mail’s, pictures and visits. We’d love the opportunity to learn more about you and your family as well!

We are so looking forward to our wonderful future as parents. It is not easy to express into words how much we are humbled by your strength and courage in choosing adoption for your baby. We know that searching for the perfect family for your baby must be overwhelming and we sincerely thank you for taking the time to get to know us. We would love to talk with you further.



Sincerely,

Randy & Tracy
