Dear Expectant Parent(s),
Hi! We are Trevor and Lisa, thank you for taking time to read this letter and get to know us a bit. We can only begin to imagine what you are going through. The thoughts, fears, and the decision you are weighing in your mind. We want you to know we think about you and pray for your strength and that you will have peace in what you decide is best for your child. You are courageous in the decision you are considering for your child. It shows you have love that only a parent can have.
Lisa has a personal connection to adoption. Her older brother, Eric, was adopted from South Korea when he was an infant. She has never known life without him and loves him dearly. They have a great relationship and hang out about once or twice a month. Adopting a child has always been on Lisa's heart and we both agreed early on in our relationship that it was something we would be open to pursuing someday. Shortly after our youngest turned six, we felt a longing for another child to add to our family. We have more love to give and would love to have our house even more full of children! Jesus laid it on our hearts in late 2025 (after much prayer) that adoption is how we should grow our family.
We promise to give your child a home filled with love, laughter and activity! They would be a part of our traditions: reading books before bed, family game nights, eating dinner together every evening, celebrating holidays and milestones with family, and taking vacations. Our family likes to stay active and be outdoors: jumping on our trampoline, playing badminton in our backyard, hiking at a state park, playing basketball on our driveway or on the playground at our local park.
If you choose us to parent your child, we promise to love them unconditionally. We will also tell them about your love for them. You are important in their story. We would like to be able to communicate with you and have an open relationship if you desire.
Thank you for taking the time to read our letter and learn more about us. We will be praying for you and your decision, whatever that may be. We hope we get the chance to meet you!
Warmly,
Trevor & Lisa
