Chad's thoughts on Eva

Eva is someone that has strong bonds with those that she loves.  I know this because we have a strong bond and she tells me often that she loves me.  She is also very determined and will not let any hurdle slow her down from getting what she wants.  I have seen this from the journey we have taken to start our family.   Eva is a very strong, balanced woman and I love her for that.  She is someone that will speak her mind and tell you exactly what she thinks without mincing any of her words.  Loyalty and honesty are very important to Eva and she is both to a fault.  She makes our marriage a priority.  She tells me that she loves our life on a regular basis and is very grateful for what we have.  Eva with kids is a very special thing to watch.  She has patience and treats them as people.  Any interaction that she has with children is a real conversation.  She listens to everything they say and does not down play their thoughts.  She also has the patience to teach a child new things, from cooking a cake to catching a frog.  Any little boy or girl will be cherished and treasured by Eva.  I know that she wakes up everyday and looks forward to the day she can be called a Mom.  The minute Eva holds our little baby in her arms, she will have a bond stronger than anything imaginable.  She will love and cherish our family more than anything in life.  She is an amazing woman and has made my life so much more exciting and fulfilling.  I know that she will do that for a child as well.  They will have the biggest support and love from her and they will know she will be behind them every step of the way through life.  

Chad as a Father

Dear Birth Mom,

Chad will be the best father a little boy or girl can ask for.  He wakes up each day with a smile on his face and tells me he loves so many times throughout the day.  He is attentive and caring.  He puts me first above all else and I know that when we start our family, it will be family first.  Chad is a wonderful provider and loves his job.  He is so thoughtful.  He wakes me each morning with a smile and a kiss saying "Good morning, love bug."  His son or daughter will be just as cherished.

He is always there for me when I need him and I know he will be the same way with a child.  He loves life and is such a happy person.  He has such a big heart and I know he's been looking forward to becoming a father.  He's excited for this next step.  He will be there for everything in this child's life and will be a very hands on dad.

I can't imagine a better example of a man for a son to learn from or for a daughter to cherish.  He's a wonderful person and he'll be an amazing father.  I look forward to seeing him in this new role and know that it will only make me love him more.

Thank you for giving him the gift of being a father.  The title of father is so important.  It's something Chad will not take lightly.  The little boy or girl that starts our family will be so loved and so wanted.  They will know how much they are loved and wanted because Chad isn't afraid to share his feelings.  He will hug them, kiss them and tuck them in at night.  They will know how much they are cherished from the very moment they are in his arms.

I know this by the way Chad loves me.  I'm very blessed to have him in my life and I want to thank you  so much for allowing Chad to become a father.  

Words can't express how thankful I am to you.

Where does a story begin?

Our story began long before our wedding day, but we wanted to share our wedding video with you!  It's on the right side of our blog page ------>

  
How did we get to that beach on Maui?  We met on a blind date in 2006.  It was out of character for either one of us to go on a blind date, but a mutual friend was very insistent so we agreed, begrudgingly.  But it turned out to be on of the best decisions of our lives :)

We married in 2010 after four years of dating.  We had to make sure we were right for each other!  Marriage is a forever commitment in our minds.  Both sets of our parents have been married for 35+ years.

Right after we were married we decided we were ready to start a family, but the universe had a different plan for us.  We tried for months without any luck and then we both decided it was time to get checked out.  We learned that Chad has some fertility issues and we tried IUIs to help us conceive.  When those failed we turned to IVF.  After 4 IVF cycles we accepted that a biological child was probably not in the cards.

It was a heartbreaking process, but we both believe that everything happens for a reason.  We feel that there is a baby out there that is meant to be part of our family.  We are choosing adoption because we know that there is someone faced with a difficult decision right now and we are so ready to be parents.

We can provide a stable, loving, and fun home for a little boy or girl that we've been waiting a long time for.  They will grow up with a loving extended family including five cousins that are excited to meet them.  Their summers will be spent on a lake; swimming, boating, playing in the sand, riding jet skis and exploring the beaches with lots of children that spend the summer near our lake cabin.  Every child in our family has the opportunity to attend college if they choose to.  They will be blessed with a loving, caring, and financially stable environment.  Most of all, we will be blessed to have them as part of our family.

Thank you for taking the time to learn more about us and don't hesitate to email us, call or text with any questions.
