Dear Birthmother,

First of all, thank you for showing interest in us. We have the greatest admiration for you because of your courage to bring a beautiful life into this world. Because of your choice a family will have the opportunity to receive the most precious gift they could ever ask for. Please know that your sacrifice will enrich your child's life, and the lives of an anxiously awaiting and loving family.

About Us
We met on the beautiful island of Okinawa, Japan in 1998 while both serving on active duty in the U.S. Air Force. We married in February 1999. Prior to marriage, we discussed starting a family and adoption was always part of our plan. For two years, we tried to conceive naturally as well through infertility treatments. Eventually we were diagnosed with unexplained infertility. After five years of marriage, we found Lifetime, and our lives took a whirlwind change…we were blessed with our little boy, Noah, who is four years old. In 2007, we adopted our little girl, Zoe, who is one year old. We have strong relationships with their birth mothers and we continue to email and send photos.

We are a young, happy, Christian family that loves to experience different cultures and travel the world. We have traveled to Korea, England, and the Bahamas. We have lived in Japan for 5 ½ years and plan to relocate to the USA in May 2009.

We will provide your child with a safe, disciplined, financially-stable home that is overflowing with love, silly laughter, jokes, playfulness, embarrassing moments, and affection. Both of us have been blessed with family and friends who support us and are just as anxious as we are to welcome another child.

About Ryan
Ryan is from Mississippi. He was raised by his mother. He has one older brother. He joined the Air Force at 18 and has been in the service for 14½ years. He is a Civil Engineer and enjoys his job. Ryan is very forward thinking and is always planning on life after the military. As a result he has completed as his Associate’s degree and is quickly closing in on his bachelor’s degree.

Being a father is what captivates Ryan the most. I love to see him wrestling or reading books to the children. He is laid back and can’t help but to be the life of any party. My husband has a sweet spirit; is smart, and funny. I think he is the best dad that any child could have.

About Tanisha
Tanisha is from Colorado. She was raised by her mother and stepfather. She has one sister and a huge extended family. After her enlistment in the Air Force, she began working for the Marine Corps as a Safety Inspector.

Her personal relationship with God is what makes Nish so special to me. She understands that God did not give us a sense of fear. She is not afraid to live life to the fullest and is the heart and soul of our relationship. Because of her, I am a better man. She is a loving, nurturing, and can't wait to share her life and love with another child.

About Noah and Zoe
Noah is our “little man” and Zoe is our “little Princess." Noah is smart, talkative, and spirited. Zoe is sweet and a typical toddler.

They enjoy playing with their friends, but nothing would make them happier than to have another brother or sister.

Our Community
The American population on Okinawa approaches 80,000. Military communities are racially and ethnically mixed and there is a built in support system. Our community offers several of the amenities found stateside. Restaurants include: Baskin-Robins, Popeye’s, Pizza Hut, Subway, Chili’s, Taco Bell, Macaroni Grill, and McDonald's just to name a few. We have movie theaters, golf courses, parks, gyms, and bowling alleys. The Japanese community also offers many forms of entertainment.

We Offer Your Child
You may be asking yourself, "Why should I allow my child to be adopted by a military couple"? Although your decision is a difficult one, please consider us.

We can offer your child a home where they can feel safe and loved unconditionally. We offer the opportunity to see just how beautiful and diverse this world is. We will promote education at the highest level. And finally, we will offer a chance to get to know God on a personal level. Thank you, and God bless you.
