Katherine & David

Hoping to Adopt (Texas)

Letter

Hello there


We want you to know that you have our support.


Nice to meet you!
During this journey, we have heard countless stories about families and how there is no right or wrong way to start our family together. It feels like the more people we share our story with, the more support we find.

We know that as you consider your options, that may or may not be the case for you. In fact, it may not feel like you have options at all. We want you to know that you have our support. You have our understanding, our appreciation, and our respect. It takes courage to even consider the choices you are facing, and we feel incredibly grateful that you have somehow found yourself here learning about us.

We can’t make your decision for you, but we can promise that should you choose to move forward with our family, we will be with you every step of the way.
Our Story

We have learned how to love each other when it feels easy and especially when it feels hard.


Our Wedding
We first met over fourteen years ago in college and started dating. As graduation approached, we started talking about our long term plans together. David had committed to Law School in Georgia, but this was away from both of our families and friends. After much discussion, we decided that it would be better for David to start his first year in Georgia while Katherine stayed in Texas. We both knew Georgia would be a good, long term fit for us. Katherine moved there the summer after. And after a few years, we knew we were ready to take a big step.

At this point, we started considering adoption and knew we wanted to be closer to family. We have now settled in Texas and have been happily married for over six years. We have tackled long distance, raising our pups, and moving from apartments and houses together five times. We have learned how to love each other when it feels easy and especially when it feels hard.

We know that the future is long, but we could not be more excited to take this adventure together.
Our Why

For us, the decision to adopt is a choice, but certainly not one we take lightly.


There has never been a doubt in our mind how much this child will be loved.
For us, the decision to adopt is a
choice, but certainly not one we take
lightly. We recognize and respect the
many journeys of others, so we want
to share our personal story with you.

When we started dating freshman
year of college, we weren’t thinking
about having children. Even in our
early years of marriage, we knew
we would want to grow our family
one day but never stopped to discuss
how that might happen. Meanwhile,
Katherine was suffering with ongoing
medical anxiety that made it difficult
to consider a biological pregnancy.
When we began seriously talking
about how that would impact our
choices, the possibility of adoption
seemed exciting for us both.

In our many discussions, we talk
about what we’re excited about. We
talk about what will be difficult. Most
of all, we talk about how much we
will love this child. Our families talk
about how much they will love this
child. There has never been a doubt
in our mind how much this child will
be loved.
One Last Thing

We promise to honor their past and embrace everything they become.


Thank you
Time has a way of changing all the plans you thought you might have, but we have never been more committed to being parents and raising a child with all the love we have to give. We promise to honor their past and embrace everything they become.

We hope that now you might consider connecting with us and building that future together.
