Choose A Family : Parent Profile
Rebecca and Todd
Hello!
Thank you for this opportunity to introduce ourselves and for your consideration of us as prospective adoptive parents. Our names are Todd and Rebecca and it is our hope that this letter will answer all of your questions concerning our being great parents for your child. We understand that this time in your life is not an easy one. We know that you are a very special and responsible person in providing for your child through an adoption plan. We are blessed to have this opportunity and it is our hope that this letter will show you that we will raise your child in a wonderful, loving, and stable home.
About Us
We met through a mutual friend when we were both around 20 years of age. It only took a few months for us to realize that we were meant for each other. After dating for about a year, we were engaged and married about a year later. Since that time, we have only spent about 10 nights away from each other. Our relationship is united by a love for Christ and a love and commitment to one another. We have a shared compassion for many of the same things; such as, worshiping at church, hiking, taking long walks (sometimes jogging), watching movies, playing, and spending time with friends and family. We are both still very young at heart and enjoy being extremely active. Several years ago, we found that the one thing missing in our lives was having a child of our own. This led us to you and we thank you for this opportunity.
Our Careers
When we were first married, we both held positions in the banking business. Now Todd is a computer programmer with a startup software development company. After seven dedicated years with this company, they now have over 200 clients and are now owned and operated by a Fortune 500 company. This job, although demanding at times, is very flexible. As long as he has an internet connection, Todd is able to work from any destination, allowing him to work from home most of the time. After many years with her bank, Rebecca could no longer suppress her strong desire to become a teacher. This decision led her to quit her job and enroll at a local community college to get her teaching degree. She first earned her early childhood education certificate and began a job as a pre-school teaching assistant. After a year, she became a daycare assistant at her school. She loves being with these children and has been approached by some teachers to keep their children should she ever decide to setup a daycare at her home. Our new jobs have allowed us to be together during the summer as well. Rebecca is still taking classes and plans to begin teaching in the near future. The path that our jobs have taken has led us closer together and made us more of the family that we desired to be.
Our Home
We have been able to make our house into the home that we dearly love and do not plan to leave it as it was built with love and is large enough to raise a family. We live in a small town that has a current population of approximately 200 people. We have a great city park with a delightful playground that was installed with Todd’s help, as he is on the city council. One of the huge assets of our town is the fact that everyone knows and cares for each other. The biggest crime that occurs in our town consists of a speeding ticket and embarrassment. It is a community that recognizes when a family needs help through a tough time. Everyone will chip in to do their part to help where they can; whether it’s through giving money, babysitting or just helping out around the house.
Our Family and Friends
We have strong loving families that live within 10 minutes of our home. Our extended families, aunts, uncles, cousins, etc, are within 40 minutes. Todd’s parents and his younger sister’s family live next door. Being next to Todd’s family allows us to spend time with his sister’s three young children. They spend the night with us on a regular basis. One of them asked us not to long ago “why are you so good to us?” We told her that it gave us joy to be with them love them dearly. That one question will probably be one of the most cherished memories that we would ever share together. Rebecca’s family lives just a few minutes from us and we get together with them on once during the week and Sunday afternoons after church to eat and spend time together. About once a month, most all of Rebecca’s extended family gathers at her grandparents for supper to fellowship with one another. One thing that we both also enjoy is our family vacations. We either go with Todd’s family to the beach or Disney World or with Rebecca’s family to the beach or a quiet, much needed, retreat to the mountains. As you can see family is very important to us. We also have many friends with children that we love to visit very often. We spend a lot of time with our church family as Todd is the Sunday school superintendent and Rebecca is the elementary Sunday school teacher at our small church. Our church is one of the most important parts of our lives and we both love attending regularly and spending time with the children there. With all of this, please rest assured that your child will belong to a loving extended family that includes a wonderful loving church family as well. A few words about each other
Hello, my name is Todd. Thank you for allowing me to tell you about my wonderful wife, Rebecca. She is kind, loving and also very supportive of me and so many others. She is very active and, even though I don’t tell her enough, she is beautiful in every way. She always makes sure that we keep a very clean house and that we have good nutritious meals. On nights that she isn’t attending college, she will cook me meals so that I will have something good to eat while she’s in class the next evening. She gets along so well with children that when we run into one of her daycare kids (away from daycare) they always smile and the ones who can speak will often scream “Hey Mrs. Becca!” I believe most of them would come home with her if they could. She has cared for me through many sick nights and days. She has helped me make it through one of the most difficult times in our life. You see, I suffered from a genetic disease that led me to have a double lung transplant. Now, with her help, I am perfectly healthy. I don’t know how I could have made it without her. She is always there whenever I need her and I thank God daily for having her in my life. She is also a very loving aunt that loves to be with our nieces and nephews. She often goes out of her way to tend to them while their parents help coach sports teams for their other children. I know it seems she has many children to attend to but desires so very much to have one of her own. So, if you add all these assets up, I believe that you can see that she will make the best mother your child could have.
Hello, I’m Rebecca. I would love to share with you a few details about my marvelous husband, Todd. He is a very loving husband who supports me in everything I do. He always seems to have a smile on his face and is very respectful of others. He helps me a lot with the housework and whenever I am sick I know that he will take great care of me. He is also very patient and courageous. Whenever he was faced with the decision to have a double lung transplant, he did not hesitate or worry. He felt that it would be the best way for him to live a normal life. Before the transplant he was not able to play with children very much, but he still made an effort to be with them. Now that he is doing so well, he loves that he can play wiffle ball, football, basketball and many other things with our nieces and nephews and any other children in our community. Most importantly he just loves to spend time with children. Our nieces and nephews look forward to him being with them no matter what the activity. I know that one of the best things about Todd is that he is definitely a kid at heart. I also know that if given the chance, he would make one of the world’s most wonderful, loving fathers your child could have.
Thank You!!!
