Our Vows to Your Child

When two people come together in marriage, they say vows to one another. We have always taken our vows very seriously in our marriage. If you choose to give us the most precious gift and your child becomes a part of our family, we want you to feel assured that he or she will be taken very good care of and forever loved. We make the following vows to your child:

• We vow to always love you. You will grow up knowing you are truly cherished.

• We vow to always support you. Even when mistakes are made. Even when we have disagreements. We believe in having open communication and talking things out. We want you to have the confidence to make your own choices and for you to know you can always come to us for help, advice, and support.

• We vow to be your teachers and mentors. We want to help you explore the world around you and we will help you learn what you need to know to have a happy life.

• We vow to be your playmates. Life is so much more fun when silliness and fun are part of everyday life in a family. It’s important to our family to find time every day to do something fun together. Even when life gets busy, quality time as a family is so important.

• We vow to let you be you. We will not dictate what interests, hobbies, academic studies, or anything else you want to be involved in or learn about. We will support you exploring different things until you determine your own passions.

• We vow to provide guidance to help you learn and grow. We believe in explaining reasons behind rules. We want you to be able to ask questions to better understand our decisions. And we will also listen to your ideas and frustrations so that collectively we work out our family’s approach to behavior expectations. We want you to learn how to be respectful to others, so we will also be respectful to you. We do NOT believe in hitting or spanking EVER.

• We vow to be there for you in sickness and in health. We will always be there for you during any health problems.

• We vow to teach you our religious, political, and overall values and beliefs. However, we will also teach you about other points of view and respect your decisions when you have different opinions, values and beliefs. This goes back to letting you be you. We will always love and accept you no matter what.

• We vow to be open with you about your adoption. Your birth parents gave us the most precious gift and we will forever be grateful.

Many of these vows come from our experiences raising our daughter. It has been so important to us to make sure she always feels loved, supported and that she has a voice in our family. We celebrate accomplishments, special moments, and important dates. Our family of five (3 humans & 2 furry family members) would love to welcome another child into our family. By learning about us on this website, we hope you get a feel for who we are and feel assured that we can provide a loving, safe, and stable home for your child.
