Christy & Sean

Sean:

I am an Engineer and a big soccer fan. I enjoy playing golf, hiking, going to the beach, and spending time with my friends and family.  I grew up with a loving family and am looking forward to having my own in the future. I have a close relationship with my mom, stepdad, sister, and niece who live locally.  I am also close to my dad, stepmom, and three stepbrothers who live abroad in England.  I consider myself to be a fun-loving, goofy, caring, and affectionate person. I have always wanted to be a dad, and if you give me the opportunity I will be the best.

 

Christy:

I am a Speech and Language Pathologist who works at a middle school with students with special needs. I enjoy cooking, baking, traveling, going to the beach, exercising, hiking, going to concerts, and spending time with my family, friends, and our dog.  I am the youngest of three children. I have two incredibly supportive and loving parents and one amazing nephew. My sister and I are best friends and I am extremely close to my older brother as well.  Family is at the center of my world. I consider myself to be a kind, loving, loyal, dedicated, passionate, and introverted person. I have always felt like I was made to be a mom. Having an incredibly selfless, loving, and devoted mom myself has set high expectations for me as to the type of mom I aspire to be.  My mom was adopted, so adoption has always had a special place in my heart.

Dear Birth Parents,

We want to start by thanking you for making the most selfless and loving decision for your child. You have brought new life into this world and have given your child an opportunity to have a loving, successful, and fulfilling future. We cannot begin to imagine what you are thinking, feeling, and experiencing during this time. We understand that what will be the happiest day of our lives, may be one of the hardest for you. You are putting your child first before everything else, and should always remember how strong and courageous you have been through this process.

We love each other deeply and have been dying to share that love with a family one day. Being parents has been extremely important to us since the beginning of our relationship. Through this journey we knew that having a family, adopted or biological, is what has always been important to us.  Adoption is not only important in order to give us the opportunity to become parents, but to also allow us to offer a wonderful life to a child. Christy’s mom was adopted and her family will forever be grateful for her parents’ decision to make an adoption plan for her. This decision allowed her mom to have a wonderful life and create our family together with my Dad.  We are beyond ready to give ourselves completely to your child and love your baby as our own; however, it is important to us that your child will always know the immense amount of love you have for him or her. We will make sure your child understands the selfless decision you made to give him or her the gift of life, and the opportunities you provided to your baby.

We cannot wait to give unconditional love, emotional and financial support, a safe and stable home, a loving extended family, a good education, and an adventurous and fun lifestyle to your child. Our parents have instilled many important values in us that we hope to pass on to your child including: loyalty, devotion, kindness, passion, empathy, and respect.  As parents we are looking forward to creating memories with our future family including: going on hikes, going to the park, teaching him or her how to play our favorite sports, introducing him or her to our favorite music, reading bedtime stories together, traveling to our favorite places, and creating friendships between your child and our friends’ children. We were both raised Catholic/Christian and are people of faith. We will support your child’s spiritual journey and choices, as he or she gets older. We will value education, sports, music, and any other activity of interest of your child. It is important to us that we raise a child that is a kind, respectful, accepting, and loving addition to the world.  Both sides of our families are extremely supportive of our adoption plans and are ready to be the most caring and involved grandparents, aunts and uncles, and cousins.

We will never be able to thank you enough for trusting us to give your child a loving family. We are open to future visits with you and sharing updated pictures/stories of your child with you. There will always be a special place in our hearts and your child’s heart for you. Thank you!

Sincerely,

Christy & Sean

 

 

Estimados padres biológicos,

Queremos comenzar agradeciéndoles por tomar la decisión más desinteresada y amorosa para su hijo. Han traído nueva vida a este mundo y le han dado a su hijo la oportunidad de tener un futuro lleno de amor, éxito y plenitud. No podemos empezar a imaginar lo que están pensando, sintiendo y experimentando durante este tiempo. Entendemos que el que será el día más feliz de nuestras vidas, puede ser uno de los más difíciles para ustedes. Ustedes están poniendo a su hijo ante todo lo demás y siempre deben recordar lo fuerte y valiente que han sido durante este proceso.

Nos amamos profundamente y estamos ansiosos por compartir ese amor con nuestra propia familia algún día. Ser padres ha sido extremadamente importante para nosotros desde el comienzo de nuestra relación. A través de este viaje supimos que tener una familia, adoptiva o biológica, es lo que siempre ha sido importante para nosotros. La adopción no sólo es importante para darnos la oportunidad de ser padres, sino también para permitirnos ofrecer una vida maravillosa a un niño. Mi mamá fue adoptada y mi familia siempre estará agradecida por la decisión de sus padres de hacer un plan de adopción para ella. Esta decisión le permitió a mi mamá tener una vida maravillosa y crear nuestra familia junto con mi papá. Estamos más que preparados para entregarnos completamente a su hijo y amarlo como si fuera nuestro; sin embargo, es importante para nosotros que su hijo siempre sepa la inmensa cantidad de amor que ustedes le tienen. Nos aseguraremos de que su hijo comprenda la decisión desinteresada que tomaron de darle el regalo de la vida y las oportunidades que le brindaron a su bebé.

Estamos ansiosos por brindarle a su hijo amor incondicional, apoyo emocional y financiero, un hogar seguro y estable, una familia extensa y amorosa, una buena educación y un estilo de vida aventurero y divertido. Nuestros padres nos han inculcado muchos valores importantes que esperamos transmitir a su hijo, como lealtad, devoción, amabilidad, pasión, empatía y respeto. Como padres, esperamos crear recuerdos con nuestra futura familia, que incluyen: hacer caminatas, ir al parque, enseñarle a practicar nuestros deportes favoritos, presentarle nuestra música favorita, leer juntos cuentos antes de dormir, viajar a nuestros lugares favoritos y crear amistades entre su hijo y los hijos de nuestros amigos. Ambos fuimos criados como católicos/cristianos y somos personas de fe. Apoyaremos el viaje espiritual y las decisiones de su hijo a medida que crezca. Valoraremos la educación, el deporte, la música y cualquier otra actividad de interés de su hijo. Es importante para nosotros criar a un hijo que sea una persona adicional en este mundo que sea amable, respetuoso, tolerante y amoroso. Ambos lados de nuestras familias apoyan extremadamente nuestros planes de adopción y están listos para ser los abuelos, tías y tíos y primos más cariñosos e involucrados.

Nunca podremos agradecerles lo suficiente por confiar en nosotros para brindarle a su hijo una familia amorosa. Estamos abiertos a futuras visitas con ustedes y a compartir fotografías actualizadas de su hijo con ustedes. Siempre habrá un lugar especial en nuestros corazones y en el corazón de su hijo para ustedes. ¡Gracias!

Atentamente,

Chirsty y Sean
