A Letter from Bob & Emily
Hi! We’re hoping to grow our family through adoption! Many years before we became parents, God put adoption on our hearts. We’ve loved becoming parents to our two biological children and we dream of adding another child. We continue to feel a strong call to adopt a child and we’re excited to welcome a boy or girl of any racial background into our little family. God has given us the means to provide a safe, nurturing, and loving home for our children and we would feel blessed to share our lives with your child. We hope to get to know you!
About Us
We look forward to sharing our whole lives and whole hearts as parents. We’d love to make memories from things we do together in our everyday lives, like going for walks, baking cookies, and playing games together. We’ll also go on adventures, like trips to the beach or traveling somewhere new. Emily enjoys reading Goodnight Moon with the kids before bed and Bob likes teaching them to play ball in the backyard. Big brother and sister can’t wait to show their new sibling how to build with blocks, cuddle a stuffed animal, or zoom down the slide. We will make sure your child always knows how loved and safe they are. We will also share our faith by teaching our children that they are fearfully and wonderfully made by a God who loves them immeasurably.

I’m into into reading, refinishing furniture, and exercising.

Our Family
We have two energetic kids who are excited about having another sibling! Liam is our 4 year old son who loves to run, build, and explore. McKenna is our 2 year old daughter who likes climbing, laughing, and taking care of her baby dolls.
Our Home in Virginia
Our four-bedroom house comes with a big backyard, complete with a playground for the kids. It is full of children’s artwork, toys, and lots of laughter. With a big living space and bedrooms upstairs, there’s room for a playroom downstairs, too.
