Dear Birthmother,

Hello! We are Ron and Mary Jo. We appreciate the opportunity to share with you our home and lives. We will be truly blessed to be chosen to have an opportunity to raise another child in our safe and loving family. Hopefully, you will consider us the perfect family to adopt your child.

More About Us:
We have been married over 16 years and have a strong marriage based on love and respect for each other. We love spending time together at home doing outdoor activities or traveling. We have one daughter, Marissa who is fourteen years old. We adopted our son Brandon at birth 22 months ago. Marissa and Brandon are excited to have another sibling!

About Mary Jo by Ron:
Mary Jo is a warm, compassionate, and honest person; good qualities for a nurse. She is also an easy woman to love, with a great sense of humor and laughter that is contagious. Mary Jo was adopted at 9 months old into a wonderful family. She was always loved and supported. Family time is very important to her. Mary Jo works three days a week at a local hospital. We work opposite days so daycare isn’t needed. Mary Jo simply adores children. She was born to be a mother! The best thing I have ever done in my life is pick Mary Jo to be my wife and mother of my children.

About Ron by Mary Jo:
Ron is a special man who loves to spend time with his family. I tell him he has a huggable factor of 10. When we met, I loved the fact that he wanted children as much as I did. One of the most loveable things about him is that he’s a big kid himself.

He also loves music and attempts karaoke at parties. Ron works for a major airline and we travel occasionally. Ron is my best friend! He has surpassed any expectations I had of him as a husband and father. I am lucky to have him in my life.

About Marissa:
Marissa is an awesomely creative fourteen year old who is in the 9th grade. She gets good grades in school. She is artistically talented and loves to draw. Children listen to her and follow her lead. She has a great sense of humor and jokes that she’ll do everything for the baby except change diapers. Marissa is looking forward to a new addition in our family!

About Brandon:
Brandon is a very active 22 month old. He is a very bright and happy little boy who loves to sing, dance and play with his trucks and balls. He has brought much joy and happiness to our lives. He has a beautiful smile and a mischievous nature. Brandon is fun to have around. He loves animals and playing outside.

Our Home and Faith:
We reside near the beach in a wonderful development filled with families and many children as well as a great school. Our community has a large recreation park with a pool, playground, gym and sports courts. We have a four bedroom, two and half bath home with a big loft that is used as a playroom filled with Disney everything. Our home is very child-friendly. We have a three car garage and live in a cul-de-sac so it is safe for the children to play. We also have a pool with a baby barrier for safety. We have hosted many holiday and birthday parties. We are Catholic: our faith is very important to us. Our church is attended by many friends and neighbors.

Our Pets:
Our two dogs and rabbit are part of our family. Spencer is a Golden Retriever. Bandit is a Great Pyrenees. Both dogs love children and are very gentle but protective. Our rabbits name is Oreo. He is black and white and friendly.

Our Promise:
To love this child with all our hearts. Your child will always know what a special person you are. The baby will be raised to respect themselves and others and will know that they are loved. We will raise your child in a secure and financially stable home filled with laughter, fun and love.
