Adoption Services
Creating loving homes since 1947
Chris & Beth
Dear Birth Parent,
Thank you so much for taking the time to get to know our family. We can’t begin to imagine all the
emotions you may be experiencing as you consider adoption. Please know how deeply we respect your
strength, courage, and the incredible love you have for your child.
We are Chris and Beth, and we have been married for 13 years. Our marriage is built on faith, laughter,
teamwork, and a deep commitment to our family. We are the proud parents of two energetic,
kind-hearted boys, Logan and Lucas. Our home is often filled with laughter, music, backyard games,
and family movie nights. Adoption has always been on our hearts. After much prayer and
conversation, we feel truly called to grow our family this way. We have so much love to give and feel
ready and excited to welcome another child into our lives.
We believe openness in adoption can be a beautiful gift. We are open to letters, pictures, emails, and
even visits if that is something you would desire. We understand that every situation is unique, and we
are willing to embrace whatever level of openness feels healthy and comfortable for you. Our priority
will always be what is best for your child, and we are committed to honoring your place in their story.
If we are chosen, your child will always know they are adopted. Adoption will never be a secret in our
home. From the very beginning, we will share their story in loving, age-appropriate ways. They will
grow up knowing that your decision came from a place of deep love and selflessness. We will speak of
you with respect, gratitude, and kindness. You will never be portrayed as anything less than an
important and valued part of their life story.
If your child’s culture or ethnicity is different from our own, we are fully committed to embracing and celebrating that part of who they are. We will intentionally learn, build diverse relationships, celebrate cultural traditions, and ensure they see themselves positively reflected in their community, friendships, books, and experiences. We believe their heritage is something to honor and cherish.
Our parenting style is rooted in love, structure, and consistency. We believe children thrive when they
feel secure, heard, and guided with patience. Discipline in our home focuses on teaching and growth
rather than punishment. Education is very important to us. Beth is a fourth-grade teacher, and our
home values curiosity, hard work, kindness, and character. We will encourage your child’s unique gifts
and support their dreams wholeheartedly.
Family is central to our lives. We both come from loving families who are actively involved in our lives.
Grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins gather often for dinners, birthdays, and holidays. Your child
would grow up surrounded by a strong support system that shows up, cheers loudly, and loves deeply.
Our faith in God guides our marriage and our parenting. We strive to live out values of compassion,
integrity, service, and gratitude. We attend church regularly and desire to raise our children knowing
they are deeply loved by God and called to love others well.
We live in a safe, family-friendly neighborhood with parks, playgrounds, and great schools nearby.
There are many children in our area, and it’s common to see families outside riding bikes or playing in
the yard. Our community is welcoming and supportive, with churches, schools, and shopping close by.
We love making memories together and try to include our kids in everything we do. Whether it’s family
vacations to the beach, road trips, serving at church, cheering at sporting events, or simply running
everyday errands, we believe in doing life together. Holidays are special in our home. We celebrate with
meaningful traditions, festive decorations, special meals, and time gathered with extended family.
Christmas mornings, summer barbecues, and birthday celebrations are moments we cherish and make
intentional.
Please know that we are continuously praying for you—for peace, comfort, and clarity as you make this
incredibly brave decision. We are also praying for your child and the beautiful future ahead.
If we are chosen, your child will be deeply loved every single day. We will honor your love by making
sure they always know their story, their worth, and the strength of the woman who gave them life.
With love, prayers, and deep respect,
Chris, Beth, Logan & Lucas
Hello & Thank You
Thank you for taking a moment to learn about our family. We know you are walking
through something emotional, brave, and deeply meaningful. Even without knowing
you yet, we admire your strength and the love you have for your child.
About Us
Our story began in a crowded high school cafeteria when Beth spotted Chris across the
room—a familiar, comforting face in the middle of the chaos. What started as a simple
glance grew into a friendship, and that friendship turned into a love that has carried us
through many chapters of life. Our journey hasn’t always been easy, but we’ve taken
every step together. Through challenges, victories, heartbreak, and healing, we’ve
learned that real love is patient, resilient, forgiving, and worth holding onto.
Seventeen years later, we are still choosing each other every day—laughing, learning,
and growing together. Now, we’re ready to open our hearts and home to another child,
adding another beautiful piece to the story of our family.
Our family is rooted in love, kindness, and the values we were raised with. Chris grew
up in a small town with grandparents who taught him the importance of hard work,
steady love, and compassion. His calm presence, sense of humor, and gentle strength
make our home feel grounded and safe. He works in mental health as a Security
Therapy Aide, a role that requires patience and empathy—qualities he also brings to
parenting our boys. Whether he’s playing music, riding his motorcycle, or exploring
new places, he brings warmth and adventure wherever he goes.
Beth grew up as an Army child, moving often and learning how to adapt and form
strong connections. Teaching has always been her passion. After earning several
degrees in education, she now teaches fourth grade and pours her heart into her
students every day. At home, she loves crafting, painting, swimming, and making
memories with our boys. She leads our family with gentleness and joy and looks
forward to sharing her love of creativity and imaginative play with another child.
Our boys, Logan and Lucas, bring so much light into our home. Logan, our thoughtful
and kind “13 going on 40,” is part of BETA Club and loves helping others. He lights up
around younger children and talks often about reading to his new sibling and teaching
them everything he knows. Lucas, our energetic little ray of sunshine, is full of
imagination, laughter, and big hugs. Whether he’s building with Legos, drawing,
swimming, or telling jokes, he pours his whole heart into everything. Both boys are
excited at the idea of welcoming a new sibling and sharing their world with them.
Home & Community
Our home is warm, welcoming, and filled with faith, laughter, and love. We live in a
family-friendly neighborhood with sidewalks, parks, and lots of kids nearby. Our
community is caring and connected, with local schools, a supportive church, and
plenty of activities for children and families. We spend a lot of time outdoors—walking
together, swimming at the community pool, visiting the library, or playing outside. At
home, family time is always a priority, whether it’s around the dinner table, helping
with homework, or enjoying a quiet evening together.
Hobbies & Interests
We love spending quality time together as a family, both in everyday moments and
special traditions. Family movie nights, games, and cheering the boys on in their
activities are regular parts of our life. We enjoy being outdoors, whether visiting parks,
attending community events, or relaxing outside. At home, you’ll often find us reading,
listening to music, playing video games with the boys, or laughing together. Faith is
central to our family, and we are actively involved in our church community. We value
connection, fun, and creating a home filled with joy and meaningful time together.
Children
Our two boys are full of personality and bring so much joy to our home. Logan, 13, is
thoughtful, creative, and responsible. He loves playing Zelda, the trumpet, and being
part of BETA Club. Lucas, 8, is our spirited little jokester with endless energy and
imagination. He loves Mario, SpongeBob, and making everyone laugh. Together, their
personalities balance each other beautifully, and they can’t wait to share their love
with a new sibling.
What Led Us to Adoption
Adoption has been on our hearts for a long time. We always envisioned having three
children, but due to medical issues, Beth is no longer able to have more biological
children. While this brought challenges, it also opened our hearts more deeply to
adoption. Through prayer, reflection, and watching families grow through adoption,
we felt a clear calling to welcome a child into our home this way. We believe family is
built through love, not biology, and we are ready to provide a safe, nurturing, and
permanent home for another child.
Openness
We believe openness in adoption can be a beautiful gift for a child and a meaningful
way to honor their story. We are open to sharing letters, pictures, emails, and even
visits if that is something you desire. We understand every situation is unique and are
committed to embracing whatever level of openness feels comfortable for you. Our
priority will always be what is best for your child, and we will always honor your place
in their story.
Raising a Child of Another Race
If our child’s culture or ethnicity is different from our own, we are committed to
embracing, honoring, and celebrating that part of who they are. We will learn about
their culture, build connections with diverse communities, celebrate traditions, and
ensure they see themselves positively reflected in our home and experiences. We will
have open conversations about race, diversity, and inclusion, helping them navigate
the world with pride, confidence, and understanding.
Marriage
Our marriage is built on love, trust, and teamwork. We have been together for 13 years,
learning, growing, and supporting each other through life’s joys and challenges. We
communicate openly, share responsibilities, and laugh together every day. Our
partnership is the foundation of our family, and we strive to model a loving, respectful,
and faithful relationship for our children. Our home is a place of stability and warmth,
where every child knows they are valued and deeply loved.
Support & Extended Family
Family is very important to us! Our home is full of love, laughter, and support. Your
child would be surrounded by a wonderful extended family, including two grandmas
(one we affectionately call Nanny), two grandpas, a great-great-grandma, and many
aunts, uncles, and cousins. We spend a lot of time together celebrating birthdays,
holidays, and everyday moments. Your child would grow up knowing they are loved,
supported, and celebrated by many special people.

who they are and raised with faith, compassion, and kindness. We will keep them
connected to their story, their roots, and to you.
