Gerald & Elizabeth are hopeful adoptive parents from Texas waiting to adopt a baby.

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

Hello Thank you for taking the time to learn about us! We are so thankful and excited that you have decided to take a look at our family. First, I want to thank you for choosing to give your baby life. God has a perfect plan for you and your baby. We pray that God will continue to guide you and support you in making a tough but unselfish decision.

Our names are Gerald and Elizabeth, we have been married for 9 years and we have a 3 year old son named Aidan. We live in an awesome community, which includes two play grounds and a walking trail. We are surrounded by mostly young families with small children. We love going to sporting events and hanging out with family and friends.

About Us Gerald and I met about 11 years ago through on a blind date by a mutual friend. We started dating shortly thereafter. After a year of dating, Gerald proposed to me, and I quickly said “yes”. We were married on May 20, 2000 on my birthday. After marriage, we decided that finishing our advance degrees was priority before starting a family. Gerald went back to college to work on his Master and Doctorate in Education, and I to complete my teacher certification, counseling certification and a 2nd Master. Of course, our dream has always been to have more children. We believed in our heart that God has led us to adoption. We are pursuing adoption at this time for a variety of reasons most importantly so that Aidan will have a brother or sister.
