Social Worker Comments
Mark and Margaret share a mutual love for one another. They have a strong marriage and commitment to each other. They have one daughter Albrie, who has a close relationship with both of her parents. She is very excited to have a sibling. As a family they enjoy spending time outside taking care of their animals and going to church. In Mark’s spare time he enjoys hunting, fishing, and gardening. In Margaret’s spare time she enjoys singing, doing crafts, and flower gardening. Their home has been found to be a loving, safe place and would provide a welcome and secure environment for a child. They desire to adopt a male or female or a sibling group of two (including twins) of Caucasian, Hispanic/White, American Indian/White or Asian mix descent, ranging from newborn to four years of age.

Dear Birthmother,
|
We are Mark and Margaret, and we want to thank you for taking time to read about us, but most of all for choosing life for your baby.
Mark and I are high school sweethearts, who are still deeply in love with one another. We have been married for 20 years and have a biological daughter age 14. Three years after my daughter was born, I developed endometriosis, which damaged my vital female organs, therefore leaving me unable to conceive again. Our dreams of having a big family were shattered. But, I can honestly say that to this day we have not given up hope, that some day, some how God would send another special person into our lives.

Mark has a secure job at a chemical company, and I do church finances from our home. Mark teaches a 7th and 8th grade Sunday school class, and I am a director for a girl’s only Missionettes club. We are very involved with the youth; and we are the loudest encouragers at our daughter’s school Basketball games. We invited private schools, Royal rangers, Missonettes, and youth groups over for devotions, games and a petting zoo. As you see we have always centered ourselves around children, and we have a passion for all ages. My daughter makes a great babysitter; children are drawn to her like a magnet. She loves riding horses, playing basketball, but her real passion is playing classical music on the piano.

We have a 100 acre farm; and are surrounded by family who are so excited about us adopting. Over the past 15 years I have lost two brothers, and it has left a huge void in our lives. So many times we have prayed for our family to be complete again. When Mark and I were married, we had big dreams of having a large farm, with lots of animals and a lot of children running around it. As you can see, only part of our dream has come true. I know that I am truly blessed to already have a child, but there is still an indescribable emptiness that I feel. I have had several dreams of children running to me asking me to be their Mommy; how can I fall in love with a child that I have never met?

Please be reassured that if you choose us, we will give your child all the love that we possibly can. Your child will grow up in a secure and happy environment with good morals and bible based beliefs. Since, I work from my home, I will be able to home school the first few years, and then possibly send them to a good Christian school and hopefully on to a college of their choosing. Be encouraged that your child will be taught to never let their dreams die, to se their goals high, and to believe that nothing is impossible with God.

Mark and I want to personally thank you again for giving us and others like us, who desperately desire more children, the opportunity to love and be loved again. May God forever guide and bless you in all that you do.
