Howard & Johanna 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.

Dear Birth Mother,
Thank you for reviewing our profile and for considering us as adoptive parents for your child. Undoubtedly, you are making one of the most difficult decisions of your life.
We are Jody and Howard, a fun loving and happy couple, who look forward to being parents for the first time. Because we have a strong marriage, financial security, and open hearts, we are prepared to provide your child with a loving and protective environment, tons of fun, and limitless opportunity.
We know that adoption is right for us, and without birth mothers like you, we would never realize our dream of having a family.
About Us
We met nearly 10 years ago; it was love at first sight, and we have been together ever since. We have been through many experiences together, and by working through these experiences as a team, we have made our already strong marriage even stronger.
As we approach our eighth anniversary, we recognize that we are missing the joy that a child would bring us. After 6 years of trying to have a baby, we are very excited at the prospect of adopting our first child. We are best friends and complement each other in every aspect. Raising a child would only add to the joy we feel as a family.
We value education and learning—both of us have professional degrees. We’re lucky to be financially secure and to be able to provide our child with the best education for him or her. We look forward to helping our child both learn who he or she is and make the most of his or her special potential to lead a happy life.
About Howard
Howard is a wonderful husband. He is the most genuine person I know, with a huge heart and a tremendous commitment to family and friends. He makes me smile when times are tough and giggle when things get too serious. I love him for the way he encourages and cherishes me each day. I wonder all the time what I did to deserve him. He is the love of my life.
Howard is going to make a wonderful father and I am overwhelmed by the thought of his dream of becoming a daddy coming true. He can’t wait to teach, nurture and love our child unconditionally. Howard believes that the most important thing he can give his family is his time and will make our child his top priority.
Howard works as a manager at an oil and gas company close to our home. He loves his job but makes time for his favorite activities: relaxing with friends, golfing, watching sports, and eating good food. He is a foodie!
About Jody
Jody is a wonderful, loving wife, with a big heart and great personality. She and I are soul mates and best friends. She is compassionate and nurturing and leaves no doubt to anyone that knows her that Jody will be an excellent mother. She lights up when she is around kids and she is thrilled about giving our child all of her love.
Jody works as an accountant, but she has decided that no matter how much she enjoys her work, once we have a baby, she will stay home as a full time mom. We are fortunate to have the resources to make that dream a reality, and can’t wait for that day when our family grows from 2 to 3.
Jody has many passions: cooking, reading, games and puzzles, and spending time with friends and family. She loves to watch the Food Network and try new recipes and can’t wait to have a little helper in the kitchen!
Our Family
Family is a huge part of our lives and will be an integral part of our child’s life. Celebrations and holidays created special memories for both of us as children, and we hope to pass on treasured family traditions and create new ones with our own child.
We are both blessed to have parents who have been married for over 40 years. We each have one sister – Jody’s is older, Howard’s is younger.
A baby will be welcomed with open arms by both sides of our family and showered with hugs and kisses from grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins. Both of our mothers our looking forward to their first grandbaby, and both of our sisters are looking forward to their first niece or nephew. Howard’s 99 year old grandmothers are also eager to meet and cuddle their first great-grandchild.
Our Home
Our home is a warm and inviting place where friends and family love to gather. With a spacious kitchen and a cozy family room downstairs and three bedrooms and a loft upstairs, the house is ready for a growing family. There is a bright, sunny room upstairs that is ready to be turned into a nursery, as soon as we know whether to decorate for a boy or a girl.
Our backyard has plenty of room for playing, and eventually swinging on a swing set. Our neighborhood is a friendly community that offers many events for little ones. From Memorial Day parades to Halloween treats, to simple backyard gatherings, we can think of no better or safer place for a child to grow.
Final Thoughts
Thanks for taking the time to view our profile. As you face the difficult decision of choosing a family to raise your child, we hope you think of us. We want to be parents more than anything, and our hearts and our home are ready to welcome a child.
We promise to dedicate our lives to helping your child grow into a happy and healthy adult, who will have every benefit and resource to ensure success in whatever he or she chooses in life. We will honor you by sharing the special way in which God built our family, and he or she will always know of your courageous and selfless decision that brought us together.
We recognize that you have a difficult decision and admire the courageous and self-sacrificing love you have for your child. Should you choose us as parents, your child will be loved, nurtured and adored. We love each other, we love our families, we will love your child, and will love you for the immeasurable gift you would be giving us.
We wish you peace in all decisions you make.
With love and respect,
Jody & Howard
