Dear Birthparent,
Brian & I (Marie) would like to thank you for reading our profile. We know you are making some difficult decisions at this time. And even though we don’t know you, you are in our prayers.
Brian & I married in July of 97. We enjoy boating, camping, fishing and family gatherings. Brian plays drums and enjoys flying remote controlled helicopters. He also umpires youth baseball. I love reading, crafts and cooking. We both work now, but when we become parents I will be a stay at home mother. We dream of the day we will be parents. There are so many things we want to do with our child: go to museums and to see plays and musicals; take vacations, especially to Disney World; and share with our child all of the things we enjoy now.
We live in a two story house with a nice size fenced-in yard. I enjoy decorating and taking care of our home. We have renovated a couple of rooms with plans to do more on the inside and out. Our home is a warm and inviting place with shelter, safety and love for all who enter. There is a room across from ours with Christmas decorations, books I’ve read or will read, an old desk and an old TV. But our prayer is to fill that room with toys, a crib and other things a child needs and wants. And in the corner 
of that room will be a rocking chair, where we will spend many an hour feeding, rocking and reading to our child; Watching over him or her when he or she is sick or watching just because we love to look at him or her. How we long to fill that room with life, love and joy.
Brian works as a lead man at a logistics warehousing company. He’s been there for 13 years. He drives a forklift and picks orders to be shipped. It’s a big company with branches all over the United States. I work at a day care where I’ve been for 6 years. For the first year and a half I worked in the infant room, and then moved to the toddler room where I am currently working. I love working with children teaching them their colors, ABC’s, shapes and how to play nicely with others. The list of things to teach never ends, even when you are not aware of it you are teaching them. They watch everything. One day I dropped some papers on the floor, and as I was watching them fall I said all man, and no sooner then it came out of my mouth I heard two other little voices say at the same time all man, it was so cute I had to laugh.
We have a golden retriever named Gage. He loves everyone and is always ready to play ball, if you can get it out of his mouth. Both our families are wonderful and they are so excited to welcome a new member to the family. I have two brothers and between them they have three kids. Brian has one brother with two kids. And just before Christmas of 2010 we learned we had a niece that my sister-in-law placed for adoption at birth. She is now part of all our lives, and we love her as if we have always known her. I’ve talked to my sister-in-law about how she felt placing a child for adoption, so I can have some understanding of what you may be going through. Hearing her story has made us open to a more open adoption, if that is what you want.
Your child will be loved by us and our families. There will be no shortage of hugs and kisses-that’s for sure! And, I know Brian will be a great father; he is a good provider and will be an 
involved dad. I am a loving and caring person, always ready to listen to someone if they need a shoulder to cry on. I know our child will have us wrapped around their little finger. We will give your child a very good life. They will want for nothing, and be loved unconditionally. They will always be able to come to us for anything, and we will be there with open arms, hearts and minds.
Holidays are a lot of fun; Christmas Eve is spent with my side of the family and Christmas day with Brian’s side. We also have Christmas parties before Christmas, about four or five all together; it is a busy time of year, but a fun one. It’s also our favorite time of year; I go all out decorating the house. Then there is Easter, Thanksgiving and even Memorial Day and Labor Day. We celebrate them all. Church is also imported to us; our church family is excited about us adopting. There are lots of prayers being said, not only for us, but for you also.
Thank you again for considering us to parent your child and may God help you with your decision and bless your future. If you have any other questions, we would be happy to answer them so feel free to ask.
Thank you again,
Brian and Marie
