Kalvan & Miki are hopeful adoptive parents from Nevada waiting to adopt a baby.

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

Dear Birthparent About 8 years ago my 18 year old sister came to me and told me that she’d made a huge mistake. She and her boyfriend had become too close and had started sleeping together. She then confided that she was pregnant. My first reaction was shock and disbelief. I later found out from our mother that this boy was emotionally and mentally abusing my sister. Even worse she was on the verge of making another horrible mistake. She was going to marry this boy simply because she was pregnant. When asked she confided that she didn’t think she was really in love with him and didn’t really want to marry him. My heart just about broke. So, I offered the only thing that I thought might help her. I offered her my home. My sister moved in with me just after she graduated High School and was about 4 months pregnant. My hope was that being a large distance from the father of her baby and free from his abuse she could think for herself and decide what was best for both her and her baby. She immediately began working with the Utah LDS Family Services to get counseling. After a few weeks the sister that I’d always known started to come out in her. She wasn’t so frightened and trapped. All on her own she started looking into adoption.
In the mean time, I had already had one miscarriage and had a second during the time she was living with us. I was in a rough place and struggling to understand how it was that my sister could carry a baby and I couldn’t. At the same time, I knew that my sister was going through one of the worst experiences she or I could imagine. My sister carried her sweet baby to term and delivered a health and beautiful baby girl. I was there with her as her coach when she delivered her sweet baby and I was there the day she placed her beautiful daughter in the arms of her adoptive parents. I had fed, bathed, diapered, sung to, cried with and loved that little girl for two weeks before her placement due to complications presented by the birth father. I couldn’t have loved her more if she’d been my own. I do know how painful adoption can be. I still cry anytime I talk or think about my sisters little girl. But I also know that she is where Heavenly Father wants her to be. She is sealed to two loving parents who love her and love each other. I’ll miss little Lexy for the rest of my life, but I’ll never be concerned that she wasn’t given what was best for her. Heavenly Father had a plan for Lexy and my sister was the patient, angelic vessel to get her here. I’ll admire my sister the rest of my life for the strength, patience and faith she had through all of her trials. To this day she’ll tell you it was the right decision.

My beautiful sister was married and sealed to her husband in 2001. They now have a 3 year old son and a bright, happy 1 year old baby boy.

Whether or not adoption is the right decision for you is entirely up to you. We look forward to the day that a birthparent will entrust us with the privledge of adding a beautiful child to our family.

Ancient History Our family story began in Provo, UT where we met through a neighbor's, boyfriend's, friend. It was destiny! =) We were married and sealed in the Manti, Utah Temple on August 16, 1996. We continued to live in Provo for 4 years while Kalvan worked toward his bachelors and masters degrees. In the mean time, we wanted to start our family. So after three years of marriage we welcomed our first child, Kaleb, to the world. With the birth of Kaleb came big life changes. For several years I had worked in various accounting offices. After being blessed with a son I felt he was my most important job so I quit and came home to be a full-time mother. After Kal was done at BYU we move to Nevada where we were blessed to welcome a beautiful little girl we named Sagera into the world. Our third child wasn't so easy. After 4 years, a miscarriage, fertility drugs, three months of bedrest, three anti-labor drugs, and multiple hospital visits we welcomed our third child, Karter, into our family. We feel so very blessed to have three beautiful and talented children. But Kal and I both feel that our wonderful little family is some how incomplete and are waiting and hoping for another little angel to come to our family.

Why Adoption? My complications in pregnancy prevent us from having the large family my husband and I had envisioned so now we wait and hope that another angel not so different from my beloved sister will see us fit to be the parents of her sweet baby. We pray for you and hope you will feel of our Father in Heavens love for a daughter who is contemplating making one of the biggest and most noble sacrifices in this life.

With Lots of Love,

Kalvan and Miki
