Chad & Natalie are hopeful adoptive parents from Indiana waiting to adopt a baby.

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

Thank you We would like to thank you for the courage you have in making this very tough decision. Though we won't ever completely understand what it has taken for you to come to this decision, we are grateful you have chosen this for both you and your child.
   

What we Enjoy Chad and I have been married for 8 years. We met while at college. Chad graduated with a degree in Computer Science and is now a software developer. I know nothing about computers. I blog, use Facebook and shop online --So, the important stuff! I finished a dental assisting program and worked for about three years, but I now stay at home full time.


We didn't date long before we knew that we were meant to be together forever. We have a great relationship. We truly are best friends. Chad doesn't let me stay mad for long. He always makes me laugh!
We  live out in the country with our three young children. We have a two story home and a finished basement, where the kids have too many toys!  I spend most of my time in the kitchen.  I especially enjoy baking (and eating) cookies and treats. Chad and I enjoy cuddling up on the couch in the evenings to watch TV together in the family room.  

We are always grateful when we can find a babysitter and go on a date together. We live about 15 minutes away from a medium sized city. We like the quiet of the country, but also like being close to a larger community and what it has to offer.

As a family we enjoy doing outdoor activities, like going to the park, riding bikes, wagon rides, going to festivals, nature walks, and just playing in the yard.

Family Time We have been blessed with three great kids so far and are excited to add to our family through  adoption. Our kids can be sweet, loving, fun to be with, and stinkers sometimes, but they always keep us laughing. We do lots of silly singing and dancing and joking around with each other.  We enjoy teaching our children all the things they need to know as they grow older.   It's just great to see them become more independent as they learn how to do things for themselves.  

Every Monday we have family night. We sing some songs, have a church related lesson, play a game and eat a treats together. We like for the kids to have team and structured activities to do, but don't like to be crazy busy with that kind of stuff. As a family, we pray together each night and read scriptures. We live near Natalie's family, so we often spend time with extended family. For birthdays, the birthday person gets to pick their favorite meal and we have cake and make homemade ice cream. Grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins usually get together for the birthday celebration. We don't do anything too elaborate, but we have lots of fun making it a special day for the birthday boy or girl!

Why we chose adoption The reason we wish to adopt boils down to our desires to provide a positive and hopeful option for you as a birth parent and to provide your child with a home with 2 parents that love each other and can provide the needs for their children.
We understand that this was not a planned pregnancy and probably came as a shock, leaving you in a state of wondering what you could do.We are glad that you found adoption as your option.  Choosing to place a child for adoption is very difficult and we respect you for placing the needs of your child as a priority.   We want to be a support to you and we are open to open communication between everyone involved-you, us,your parents....  We would like for you to be able to visit periodically to feel assured that we are taking good care of your child.
We understand that you may or may not be open to that type of relationship, but, at the very least, we hope to be able to get to know more about each other through letters, e-mails and pictures.

Whatever type of relationship you choose, we will always be grateful to you for allowing your child to be raised by a loving mother and father who can provide what you feel you aren't able to at this time. It's so hard to describe our whole life and personality and life experiences in these few paragraphs. We hope that you can get a good idea of what we are like. Thank you for checking out our profile. If you have questions Send us a message  We hope that you will feel at peace as you find the right family for your child.

Love,

Chad and Natalie
