Visuanaden & Amy are hopeful adoptive parents from Arizona waiting to adopt a baby.

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

Dear Friend To begin, we wish to thank you for taking the time in reading our profile and hopefully getting a glimpse into our family and who we are. We pray that as you do so you will be guided to know if we are the right family you are seeking for your baby. While we cannot begin to understand and know all that you are feeling and the decisions that you are faced with, we want you to know how much we love you and how grateful we are for you. Not only because of your decision to consider adoption for your baby, but for your unselfishness in helping us build our family that we have been unable to do on our own. What a wonderful example of Christ-like love you are.

About US Veeren and Amy come from very different parts of the world. It is like the saying goes, "When east meets west."
Their encounter took place five years ago when they went on a blind date. They planned to eat dinner and go to a movie but dinner alone lasted seven and a half hours long. The second date lasted almost as long and from that moment they knew something was being concocted in Heaven. Six months later Veeren and Amy were sealed as husband and wife in the Mesa Arizona Temple.
Little did Amy know that in marrying Veeren she was was joining an army! Oh yeah an army because Veeren's family consisted of his Mom, five brothers, two sisters, seventeen nieces and nephews and their eight children along with many cousins, aunts and uncles. Veeren on the other hand was not as fortunate in joining an army. Amy's family was much smaller and consisted of her Grandmother, Mom, Dad, sister and her husband and their three children. However, regardless the size of the families everyone was excited for their marriage and both were immediately made to feel a part of each others family. Even Amy's golden retriever dog, Bennigan, welcomed Veeren and now they are like father and son.
Realizing that we were marrying later in life, we knew we wanted to start building our family soon. A year after we were married and no children we began to question why and considered our options if we were unable to have children. While being told there were no medical reasons why we should not be able to have children we turned to prayer to know of our course we should take to build our family. It was during this time Amy recalled having a conversation with her mom as a young girl about her desire to adopt children when she was married. Through more fervent prayer together, Veeren and Amy came to know that adoption was the path for them in having their family.
When you look at our home you will see that it is a happy home, one filled with love and joy but often too quiet. Our love for children is great and we yearn to have them in our home so we can hear the pitter patter of their tiny feet and their sweet laughs that have you laughing as well for no reason. As we watch our many friends and family members with their children, we pray for the day that we will have the opportunity to be parents. To love them unconditionally, to guide them, to teach them and to protect them through life. Neither one of us can imagine any greater gift.
As parents we will always be sure that they know of your great love you have for them and the sacrifice you made. We may not always be perfect in all that we do, but we will love them with all our hearts and let them know that their Heavenly Father loves them too. We promise to teach them the importance of family and be there whenever they need us.
Again, we thank you for getting to know us and invite you to ask any questions that you may have. We pray that all continues to go well for you and your baby through out this process. We love you and look forward to hear from you.

Love
Veeren & Amy

About Veeren Veeren was born and raised on a small beautiful island just off the coast of Africa in the middle of the Indian Ocean. He is the youngest of 14 children. Growing up his family was not wealthy by the standards of the world, but they were rich in the things that mattered most such as family, hard work, helping others and good friends. One still sees these same characteristics in my husband today.
While Veeren's family is large they all have remained very close to one another even with some of them living in different parts of the world. It is not uncommon to hear my husband at some point during the week talking with one or most of his family members. The only thing is that I cannot usually understand what is he saying as he speaks in his native language of Creole. Someday I hope to be able to speak Creole as well or at least French which is very similar.
In his early 20's, Veeren decided to move to Belgium to live closer to one of his sisters. There he worked in the restaurant industry starting out as a dish washer and working himself up to a cook. It was during this time that he realized he enjoyed working with people and the skills that he learned, so he decided to go to college and obtain a degree in Hotel & Restaurant Management. Veeren moved from Belgium to Hawaii and earned his degree. Following a couple years of working as an assistant restaurant manager, he again decided to return to college to pursue his education further. This time he moved to Arizona and completed a MBA in Finance. Presently, Veeren works as a restaurant manager in a private golf club with aspirations of owning his own restaurant, which I have no doubt he will do.
Veeren is the greatest guy ever and if you meet him you will instantly know why. He is always happy, smiling, easy-going, thoughtful, kind and friendly. He loves people and getting to know them. One of his most favorite things to do is to entertain and have people over for dinner. He also enjoys shopping, going to the movies and traveling.
Veeren is wonderful with children and you can see the love that he has for them as they interact. From the twinkle in his eye as they come running up to him or the laughter they share in their play. Veeren is also good in making sure that they mind and behave. He is gentle and loving in his discipline and helps them understand right from wrong. I know without a doubt that he will be a wonderful Dad and cannot wait for us to have that opportunity.

About Amy Amy was born and raised in the Midwest. She is the youngest of her family and grew up in a rural community. Amy was taught by good loving parents that stressed the importance of family, hard work and education. As a kid growing up Amy was full of energy and enjoyed being outdoors. In high school she participated in many extra-curricular activities and worked part time as a dietary aide in a hospital. Following graduation from high school, Amy went to college and earned her Bachelor's Degree in Social Work. Presently she works for a hospice organization helping patients and family with a variety of needs.
Amy is a kind hearted and loving person with a lot to offer to others. She is strong willed but compassionate as well as gentle and patient. She is very committed to whatever she starts and organized. She loves to teach and help children discover their world around them. When we were on vacation and with our nieces and nephews they were drawn to her. They would come and sit on her lap or show her things that they learned in school that day. Even though she could not understand some of what they said due to language differences, she took the time to be with them and help them. She even tried to teach them to speak some English.
Amy loves to bake and there are many times our home has the smell of freshly baked cookies. While we do not have any children of our own to share these with yet, you will hear Amy say she is making them for our friends children. Once all baked and decorated she puts together a little package to deliver to their homes. Of course I have to go along with her. It is fun and we enjoy doing it.
Amy will be a wonderful mother and I know she looks forward to that day as much as I. I know that she will share with them all that she knows and all that they need to learn to become responsible children in society. Most of all I know that she will love them with all her heart.
