dear expectant mother

We cannot imagine the countless letters you are reading as you consider your options for your baby. We are thankful you are reading a small fragment of our past and present and want to let you know we would be fortunate to be part of your baby’s future. We are humbled by your bravery and the sacrifice you are considering making to give us the blessing of parenthood. We have envisioned giving our love, laughter, and support to your baby’s dreams.

We will provide your baby with stability, education, diversity, humor, and unconditional love. Our experiences from traveling around the world, being bilingual, coaching gymnastics, and playing musical instruments will allow us to give your child opportunities to reach their goals and dreams. We will create an environment where your baby will grow up to respect, honor, and have empathy for those they meet. We will teach your baby the importance of being wise and honorable when technology becomes part of your baby’s life. We can only imagine the possibilities, but for now, your baby will first encounter our deep love, bear hugs, puppy kisses, and warm kisses from us and our extended family.

Thank you for your patience and time to read our profile as it is immensely courageous of you to continue in the journey of choosing the best options for your baby. We hope for the opportunity to start a conversation with you that will be everlasting.

About Us

Hi! We’re Christina and Brenda, and we met 12 years ago at the company where we worked. We worked on different shifts, but Christina could always contact Brenda when she needed support. We started going out to eat, shopping, and watching movies. As our friendship became stronger, it allowed us to build a strong relationship, and after 15 months, we moved in together. Brenda supported Christina throughout the last part of her military career, and after it ended in 2019, we knew we were ready to bring a baby into our home. Today we work in different companies and have supported each other in all we do. Brenda works in the industrial industry, while Christina works in technology of magnetics. We both enjoy our home and our dog, Aneela, and we still love to eat, shop, play games, watch movies together, and travel.

Our Home & Pets

We live in a two-story, three-bedroom home that Christina built 18 years ago, with a loft and a great fireplace that is the center of our home. Our neighborhood is full of children always playing and participating in all the holidays. Our town has the best schools, parks, many churches, and a farmers market within minutes from our home. We love to spend time at home with our six-year-old furry baby, Aneela, who is part German shepherd and part Lab and loves to snuggle and play in our big, fenced-in backyard. We love our brick patio where we barbecue and spend the night in front of a bonfire. We cannot wait to share our lives with a little one!

Our Extended Family

Christina grew up with a brother and many aunts, uncles, and cousins and enjoyed vacationing at her grandma’s farm in Mexico every summer. Christina would help her grandma sell Coca-Cola out of her home and pick the watermelon from the vines. Christina has a lifelong best friend whose home became her second home. Today most of Christina’s family lives in Texas, which we love as a vacation spot.

Brenda grew up with three sisters (one is her twin) and a brother as well as her aunt, uncle, and many cousins. She spent time on her aunt’s farm and at her grandmother’s home for family dinner every Sunday. Her family’s vacation spot was in Arizona, which included visiting family, hiking, and swimming. Most of Brenda’s extended family lives within 20 minutes of each other. Brenda’s joy includes decorating during Halloween and Christmastime, and she has wished to bring a child into this amazing tradition and have our home become the new place of gift giving, Sunday brunch, and watching old and new movies and sports for the whole extended family.
Family has allowed us to grow with open hearts to bring your baby into our world and experience the love of our extended family.

What Led Us To Adoption

After Christina retired from the military, we thought about having a baby through IVF. Then COVID hit and shut down all nonessential medical procedures. By then, almost two years had passed, and the window had most likely closed on having a baby through IVF. We always talked about adoption and believe everything happens for a reason. Christina has a cousin who was adopted by one of her uncles. Also, when Christina brought up the topic with her boss, she let Christina know she had been adopted herself. We feel that at every turn, there is great support around us, and it confirms that we are making the right choice to adopt.
