Chad & Tina 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 Story Dear Friend,
Thank you for taking the time to read our letter. We know you have a difficult decision to make and know there are many options for you to consider. We respect your strength and courage. Whatever decision you make, we support you in the process and believe you may find hope and peace. Thank you for giving us the opportunity to share a little about ourselves.
People might say we are inseparable. We share many of the same interests and support each other’s separate interests. Playing games and playing outdoors is a must. Soccer is our favorite sport besides Tina’s love for basketball. We enjoy making our own traditions for every holiday. We have been able to sing and perform together in many different situations. Just recently we were able to direct a youth production called "Aladdin." The cast had 51 kids whom we enjoyed. In the near future we will be directing another youth production called “Willy Wonka.” People believe we are crazy to be in charge of 50 plus children again, but we have too much fun and are always up for the challenge. With our struggles to have children, we have grown closer together and felt a great peace in choosing to adopt.

Why Chad Loves Tina I would like to tell you how I met Tina. We met while doing a musical production. The first date did not go as smooth as I hoped because my car had broken down; which made it impossible to go to dinner before we had to be to our performance. Because half of the second date was at my house, Tina had the chance to meet my parents. After I had taken Tina home, my father had let me know that this particular girl was better than “bubble gum.”
Tina is the most beautiful person I know, not just physically but inwardly as well and I am not the only person to say so. Everyone she meets becomes her friend instantly. She has a wonderful ability to make everyone feel comfortable. We were at a concert recently and she talked to everyone around us and made them all feel included. But if someone says something rude or acts rudely she won’t stand for it and always stands by her beliefs and has a very strong conviction of them. Tina is a very caring person and is always concerned with my well being and happiness. She has helped me decide to go for my dreams and has always encouraged me when I get frustrated to keep going with my schooling and other endeavors. Her concern and love is also evident with her parents. She always speaks to them with respect and love, and defends them if the need arises. She loves teaching children to sing and play the piano. At first this task seemed daunting to her but because of her organization skills she was quick to come up with games, charts, programs and ideas to keep her students excited. Her organization skill carries over to one of her favorite hobbies, budgeting. The best part about her abilities is that she isn’t overcome with perfection. She is still very spontaneous and doesn’t mind changing plans on a moment’s notice. There are times that I find myself laughing uncontrollably at things she blurts out, especially when she uses her “cartoon voice.” Tina has the ability to stick to something until it is completed. She entered the Education program at Utah Valley State College in the fall of 2007 and although at times it has been extremely difficult to get through it and teach piano her determination has never wavered until she is done. Her love of learning will make her an excellent teacher in school and home. She is full of love and always willing to offer that love to me and all who may join our family.

Why Tina Loves Chad I loved to tease Chad when we were dating whenever the word “marriage” would come up. I would answer “maybe” with a teasing smile. There was one particular day that we were discussing marriage and I had said, “Maybe May would be good time.” Chad was determined to never let me forget I had said that. I had decided to go back to California for the Christmas. On Christmas morning, Chad called me up to let me know he had made arrangements to have a “present” out on the front porch. I went to the front door and nothing was in sight, but soon enough, Chad came around the corner with a huge smile on his face. I jumped into his arms and could not believe he had driven all day to be with me on Christmas. It was then that Chad got onto his knee. After Chad had asked for my hand in marriage I of course said yes and planned for the wedding to be in “May” (wink, wink).
There are many words to describe my husband Chad. I was quite impressed with his mild temper. We were on our way to a cast party of a musical production we had participated in, and had picked up a boy who needed a ride. The young boy had brought a cherry pie to contribute to the party, but had spilled it all over the back seat of Chad’s car. Instead of raising his voice, Chad kindly said, “Looks like we better turn around and get it cleaned up.” I was amazed at his calm temper and kind words. Chad’s kind heart comes out in his daily life. A recent example of this is about a sixteen year old boy that had recently lost the life of his father. Chad has reached out to him in many ways that has touched my heart as well as the boy’s mother. Chad’s respect and love for his parents caught my eye from the beginning. Chad’s gentle hugs he gives to his mother and gentle words he gives to his father show such love and respect. Once Chad’s father was diagnosed with cancer, Chad stood by his mother’s side and hoped he could take the pain away. Chad is a talented man full of determination. His singing and dancing melted all of the girls’ hearts, but luckily I was able to win his heart. Chad still takes the time to sing to me and randomly take me into his arms to dance in the kitchen. At times it may seem I am being thrown around, but it always brings us to laughter. Chad’s laugh is one of the loudest laughs you have ever heard in your life. When sitting in the movie theatre or at a play, Chad’s laugh overpowers everyone in the room. I cannot help but laugh with him. His determination shows in his willingness to serve those around him as well as fulfilling a desire of writing and publishing his book. His love for me is my favorite of all. On my busy piano days, he cooks dinner without a complaint. I have not met anyone that doesn’t like Chad once they meet him and through knowing Chad it is his faith that carries him through.

Our Promise We can’t imagine the feelings your heart and mind are feeling at this time. We understand that what you are reading are just words, but hopefully they have helped you get to know us a little better. We admire you in this difficult decision as you are considering placing your baby for adoption. There will be no boundaries to the love this child will feel from both their birth parents and from us because of the blessings that adoption will bring into their life. We pray that God will grant you some peace as you make your decision. If you choose to place your child with us we would look forward to meeting you face to face prior to placement if you desire. We want to build a strong relationship with you and to get to know each other better. We would love to share letters, emails and pictures with you, so you will be able to see your child’s progress and development. Your child will grow to know of you and the love you have for him or her. Your sacrifice and love will be often spoken of and will never be forgotten. It’s important to us that your child understands how much love and strength it took for you to make this decision. Last of all, we hope that whatever you decide to do that you will have happiness and peace in your life.

Sincerely,
Chad and Tina
