Hello, we are Leslie and Brian and we would like to thank you for giving us the opportunity to fulfill our greatest dream. The greatest and most precious gift of all has been unattainable for us. Respectfully, you are our hope and we sincerely appreciate the opportunity that you are offering to us. We look forward to starting our family through the process of adoption. Thank you and God bless you.

About Us

Leslie is the office manager where she has been employed for approximately 18 years. Prior to her employment at this firm, she worked for a very successful law firm. Leslie enjoys cooking, reading, concerts, watching sports, and attending football games.

Brian is the co-owner with his sister of a successful store. Prior to this, he was a Private Investigator. He held this position for approximately 17 years. Brian attended college where he enjoyed playing baseball. Brian enjoys golf and other sports as well as gardening, grilling, working in the yard, concerts, and football.

We have a loving and happy marriage. Our home is a single-story ranch style house with three bedrooms and two full baths. We have plenty of room for children. We have a large front and back yard where a child can safely play. A new elementary school is being built approximately a half a mile from our home. We are excited about this because our child will have the very latest technology with which to learn and grow without the problems of overcrowding.

We enjoy spending time together and entertaining our friends. We have a home at the beach and try to go there as much as possible. We go for several weekends throughout the year and one long week for our vacation. We have a cat named Spanky who we adopted as a kitten. He is three years old and does not know he is a cat. When we go out of town, he stays with Leslie’s parents who spoil him worse than us.

Both of us grew up attending church where we have been active throughout the years. Leslie has played piano and organ for church services and Brian has served as an Elder, Deacon, youth counselor, and kindergarten teacher.

We laugh about our introduction to each other back in 1997. Our mothers worked together and had been trying to set up a date for many months. We finally went out to make them happy and 18 months later we were married. This is something our mothers constantly remind us about. We were married in 1999 and honeymooned in beautiful Florida.

Our engagement was less than normal. We went to the beach for the weekend while a small-scale hurricane was making landfall. When we arrived, the eye of the hurricane was fast approaching so the wind and the rain were ending. Brian drove Leslie down to the beach in the golf cart and proposed on the beach in the dark and in the eye of the storm. Her diamond ring was in a box that lit up when opened which came in handy since it was after 10:00 pm. Leslie said yes and we got back in the golf cart and made it back to the house just as the rain and wind returned.

Our Families

We both come from loving and attentive families with loving and supportive parents. Brian’s father has passed away, but prior to his passing, Brian’s parents were married for 40 years. Brian has one sister who is happily married and they have two sons. The oldest is 16 and the youngest is 11. Leslie’s parents have been married for 43 years. She has one brother who is not married but owns his own home. We have a very large extended family of aunts, uncles, and cousins.

Together, our families are very exited about us adopting. They, our friends and our church are already planning baby showers to welcome our child. Our child’s grandparents, aunts, uncles and friends have already started planning nurseries, clothes, and visitation schedules for him/her. We are very close with our families and friends. The support and love they are giving to us and our child has just been overwhelming.

They know the commitment that we are making to you because they have made it to us. Our child will be raised in a home full of unconditional and unlimited love. We have spent a lifetime surrounded by love and support and we want to offer this to our child. We both have aunts and uncles who have adopted and we are proud to be able to do the same.

About Adoption

We have been trying to have children for many years and have tried numerous fertility treatments but due to reasons that doctors are unable to explain, we have been unsuccessful. We have never lost faith or hope that one day we would be Mommy and Daddy. Your child/our child will be raised in a loving and nurturing home. He/she will have every opportunity and every provision to grow and succeed in life. He/she will receive every ounce of our love, our hearts and our lives. This child is already special and the most precious blessing to us.

Adoption is not something we will try to hide from others, especially our child. It will be a part of our lives that we display and share with others with great emotional pride.

We would like to thank you for considering us. We will make a life long commitment to our child and to you of our enduring love and support. We have never met you and our paths probably would never have crossed, but together this beautiful journey can begin. You will always be in our thoughts, our hearts and our prayers.
