About us... Rachel-
I have a twin brother and two younger sisters. I was born and raised in a small farming town in northern Utah. I grew up on a dairy/sheep farm. Everyday I had responsibilities on the farm, such as, milking cows, feeding calves and sheep, walking and caring for our lambs and moving sprinkler pipe. Growing up of course I hated every minute of it. Looking back I wouldn’t change any of it. It made me who I am today. My family is extremely close; we have spent many hours together.

Pat-
I was born the fourth of six children; I have one brother and four sisters. We are very close and now that we are grown up I enjoy having my siblings close to me. I grew up on a farm the raised a variety of crops such as, potatoes, sugar beets, and wheat. I enjoyed helping my dad and grandpa as much as I could. When I turned 19, I chose to serve a full time mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. I was called to the Harrisburg Pennsylvania mission. I grew to love the people from that area. When I came home I continued to do what I love, farming.

How we met-
Pat and I met while living in the same apartment complex. I was attending college and he was working. We can honestly say that we became friends before we started to date, then one day we realized what a great relationship we had and we were married 9 months later.
We have now been married for over five years and we are still best friends. We are helping run the family farm and we hope to raise our children with the same values we were raised with

We were raised with many traditions and we have our own now and hope to start many more. Some of the traditions we have are rodeos, skiing, sheep shows. BBQ’s, parades, and hanging out with our families during the holidays. We can’t wait to take our kids on family vacations each year. A couple of years ago we were able to go on a family vacation with all of our nieces and nephews. We went to Disney World, and watching the excitement on their faces as they got to meet their favorite princess or run into Mickey Mouse was something that we can’t wait to share with our own children.

Our hobbies, Rachel-
I love to play sports, in high school I played basketball and softball. I have now coached a high school softball team for the past four years and I will be starting to coach basketball and volleyball this fall. I also love to paint and decorate my house, scrapbook, snow ski, shopping, hanging out with family and friends, watching movies and playing tennis.

Pat-
I can honestly say that I love my job, farming. I enjoy doing the work and I would consider it a hobby and well as a life style. In my spare time I like to snow ski, snowmobile, ride dirt bikes, play basketball, baseball, and tennis. I also like watching movies and hanging out with family and friends.

Why adoption? While I was in high school I had the feeling that I was to adopt my kids. I am not sure why but it has always been in the back of my mind. After many of doctor appointments and lots of failed procedures and miscarriages we talked about the option of adopting. We have no real reason we can’t get pregnant but we have been trying now for over four years. After talking and meeting with people that have been adopted or have adopted their own children we know that this is the plan for us. We feel strongly that the baby that is placed with us will be meant to be in our family. They will be, by far, the greatest blessing to us, and an answer to our many prayers.

We will continue to pray for you and your family. We understand that one of your greatest hardships in life could be our greatest joy and we are sorry for that. We hope that you will be comforted in this process.

With all our love,
Patrick and Rachel
