Trever & Lesa are hopeful adoptive parents from Georgia waiting to adopt a baby.

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

Welcome to our lives. We feel honored that you are considering us as parents for your child. We pray that as you search, you will know with all your heart when you have found the right adoptive parents for your child. We know that this is a huge decision to make and want you to know that our thoughts and prays are with you.

We have been married for 5 years, and are looking forward to many more and raising children. We met our first year of college, but soon went our separate ways. We were able to keep in touch and build a very strong friendship, becoming best friends, over the next four years before we began dating. We only dated for three months before getting engaged. We discovered that our birthdays are exactly 14 days apart. Trever gets a two week reminder each year before Lesa’s birthday. Trever had to ask Lesa twice to marry him, because he says she wasn’t paying attention the first time. We married seven months later, surrounded by our family and friends. We are very close with our families, and consider them our best friends and greatest supporters. There is rarely a week that we don’t talk to one sibling or parent. We do not live close to our family, due to Trever’s military service. We do our best to keep in touch and make the most of the time we do get to spend together.

We have considered adoption for a long time. We decided to try everything we could to have our own children first, but it didn’t work. We met with different doctors and tried many different treatments. Lesa struggled with all the physical stress of the treatments, and was thrilled for a break when we took the step towards adoption. We knew in our hearts years ago that we would adopt some if not all of the beautiful children that will complete our family. We are excited to care for and raise a family, and to emphasize the love that went into your decision to place the child for adoption.

Meet Lesa I grew up in a small town, living in the same house, my dad built, until I moved out after college. I have two older brothers, an older sister, and two younger sisters. As a family we spent lots of time working in the garden together, playing with the dog, participating in church activities and service projects, and each summer we went backpacking together. My parents were careful to teach us the importance of education, and to help us all graduate college with a Bachelor’s degree. I also learned the importance of hard work and honesty by watching my parents manage their own business. One very memorable thing my dad did was to give each child a father’s blessing at the beginning of each school year. I continued to receive those special blessings during college and one as I moved out on my own. I am blessed to have a husband with the ability to give me Priesthood blessings when I need them. I was lucky to have a special relationship with my dad. We have similar interests and I became his shadow. We spent time backpacking, hiking and hunting together. This made it hard when I moved across the country to be a Navy wife.

My parents began traditions for Christmas, New Years, Easter, birthdays, and just regular days that I still carry on and want to pass on to my children. At Christmas, we always made treats for others, and delivered them on Christmas Eve. Before leaving our letters for Santa, we would read the story of Christ's birth from the Bible. My favorite tradition is for Halloween. We always had homemade hot chocolate and apple cider to share with our friends, which were always invited over. Our home was always an open and inviting place that we could bring our friends at any time. I will be a stay at home mom, but am currently working odd jobs, and doing as much volunteer work as I can. I also work with the 3 to 11 year old children at church and love it. There is nothing better than to have a child run up to you and give you a hug, just because they know you. Church is very important for me. We are members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, and are very active in our church and enjoy every minute of it. As we move around, I have learned to love meeting new people and making new friends. I really enjoy when I get to stay in touch will all my friends and make new ones where ever we move to. Many of my hobbies I learned from my parents. I enjoy drawing, puzzles, gardening, playing the piano, hiking, backpacking, and almost any out door activity. I also love to bake and cook things that I’ve never tried before, then share it with others. My favorite newest hobby is running. Trever is required to run for physical fitness in the Navy and I decided to do it with him. We enjoy the time together so much, that we have run one race together and hope to do more.

I love spending time with Trever as we work towards our goals to have a family. What drew me to Trever when we first met was his honesty and happiness. He does his best to make sure that I am happy and that we have everything we need. He is so respectful of me, that it rubs off on the guys he works with in the way they treat me when I see them. Trever is also very respectful of our parents. He is a huge hit with our nieces and nephews. They think he is the neatest thing to happen and they get very excited when we tell them we are coming to visit. Trever is literally a living jungle gym for them. Trever also loves helping our neighbors, friends and co-workers. He gladly pitches in or anonymously does something for them. He also regularly invites guys from work home for the Holidays, or just when they need it, because they are not always able to go home and be with family. Most of all, no matter what, Trever always makes me smile.

Meet Trever I also grew up in a small town. I have two older half sisters, one older half brother, and two younger brothers. I lived in one house until I was one, then moved to a single wide trailer, but I don’t remember the move. My parents bought a double wide trailer and moved it in. Soon after they purchased a little more land so we could have a few more animals. If you ask my wife, I love animals and had a great experience with many growing up. I still have a horse and dog that my parents take care of until we have a place for them. I spent time with my family fishing, hunting, riding horses, doing archery, and working on our small farm. I helped my parents break horses, brand cows, and hunt with dogs. We raised pheasants to release and repopulate the area. I also learned to fix fences and anything else you can learn on a small farm. My family was very involved in archery. We competed often and I still hold some state and national titles from my youth. My most memorable moment was when I was younger going with my dad to help my grandparents. I learned respect and honesty from my parents at the family business. There were many times when my dad should have been paid, but told the person they would catch up next time. I spent a lot of time just hanging out, or getting into trouble around the house with my brothers. I also participated in the Boy Scouts and had many great leaders help me grow and to receive my Eagle Scout award.

After high school I worked for my dad and was going to college. During that time I joined the LDS Church. Soon after, I joined the Navy and went to boot camp, then to school to train for my technical specialty. I began dating Lesa as I moved to be stationed on a submarine. I have grown a lot since I joined the Navy. I am more motivated and responsible. While stationed on the submarine I was married to Lesa. That is still the best thing that has ever happened to me. I am currently working for the Navy and have been in the Navy for seven years. I plan on retiring in the Navy. At this time along with work, I am going to college to receive my Bachelor’s degree.

Lesa is very thoughtful. She is always sending me small love notes when ever she can. She is very supportive of what I do. If I told her that I wanted to be stationed over seas, she would ask when and what does she need to do to get ready. She is very organized, so that when we travel, we hardly forget anything (if we forget it is usually my fault). My wife has so much love and compassion that when she reads or hears of a child being neglected or abused she is almost in tears and wishes she could have taken that child into her arms and cared for them.

Thank You! We know that the Lord has guided us to where we are today. Thank you for taking a moment to consider us as parents for your child. If chosen we will provide a loving home for your child. One full of joy, kindness, and support. We want to teach them how important family is, no matter how the family if formed. We will always let your child know how much you love them and that you want the very best for them. We want to teach them to focus on the wonderful things in the world and the happiness they can have with loved ones. We feel that if chosen as your child's adoptive parents, you would be giving us the greatest gift in the world. We want to stay in touch with letters, emails, and pictures so that you can share in the joy of a child growing up. Send us a message
