Our family and friends can't wait for the day we are able to adopt a baby. Below are some quotes from the letters they have written on our behalf.
Robyn's life long friend, Lisa had this to say,
"Robyn is the Godmother to my oldest daughter, Emily and they have a special bond. Because Robyn is like a sister to me, my girls call her "Auntie" Robyn. They love Robyn and Derek very much and enjoy spending time with them. Derek loves to play with the kids and my girls think of him as a human jungle gym. The girls love to sit with Robyn and tell her all about their issues with friends, school, etc. and she always give them great advice. Robyn is patient and has a very calm presence around my kids and she will be a great mother."
Derek and Robyn's friend Abby had this to say,
"Both Robyn and Derek are extremely warm and giving individuals. Already aunt and uncle for several years, they are happy to host and spend time with families' as well as friends' children. Their potential for parenthood is fantastic, as they both have a natural affinity for nurturing."
Robyn's mother Shirley had this to say,
"I was adopted as an infant. Robyn knows how the lives of an adopted child and parents follow the same physical, emotional, and social development as biological children. I am very excited for the day Robyn and Derek are able to adopt as I know they will make wonderful parents."
Robyn's close friend Caroline had this to say,
"Robyn and Derek are both kind and giving individuals. Either one would help you out when you are in a bind. They value honesty and loyalty and surround themselves with friends who hold the same values. They are both extremely family oriented."
Derek's life long friend Tom had this to say,
"Derek and I grew up together and I have known him for almost twenty years. He is one of the most trustworthy, honest, generous people I have ever known and I am proud to call him one of my best friends. Ever since I have known him, you could go to him for anything and he would always be there to help."
Derek's sister Kathy had this to say,
"Any child that they are lucky enough to adopt not only would have two devoted parents but would have many loving family members aa well. Robyn and Derek are both excited and anxious about giving a child a great life. They will be able to provide a loving, nurturing, and financially stable environment to any child adopted by them. They also have the full support of their entire family."
