Dear Birth Parents, We appreciate you for taking the time to look at our portfolio. We do not know what we can say that will make this time any easier for you. We understand that this is a difficult time and you have many hard decisions ahead of you. We hope you will be able to find peace and comfort in whatever decisions you make, and although we have never met, we want you to know that we are thinking about you and that you are in our prayers. First, we would like to introduce ourselves. My name is David, and I was born and raised in Green River, Wyoming. I am the oldest of eight boys. The youngest two were adopted a few years ago, and have enriched the lives of our family. I enjoy spending time in the outdoors, singing, studying, and exercising. Amy was born in Logan, Utah. She is the fourth of five children. She has helped to put me through school by working as a registered nurse. I am so grateful to have her in my life. We met each other while attending college, and living in the dorms together. I knew from the first time that I saw her, that I would like to spend more time with her. I stayed in her dorm room for nearly an hour, just trying to get her to notice me. Although it took some convincing, I was finally able to ask her out on our first date. David has a passion for learning. He has a mind for details, facts, and figures. Although we are usually competitive when playing board games, I always want to be on his team when we play trivial pursuit. He can remember dates, names, and places that I can only find in textbooks. Education is very important to him. He graduated last year with two bachelor's degrees and will be heading off to law school soon. He succeeds in whatever he puts his mind to, and enjoys every minute of it. The first time that I saw Amy, I thought she was absolutely beautiful. She made it perfectly clear the first day that I met her that she was not interested in dating. She was there to go to school and get her education, nothing more. This made me even more interested in her, and I wanted to start a relationship with her at any level I could. I remember going with her and a group of friends to the temple, to football games at BYU, and staying up late at night to play card games. I still can't figure out exactly how it happened, but she fell in love with me. The more time we spent with each other, the more we became inseparable. Music has always been an important part of our relationship. When I first met David, he was attending school on a music talent scholarship, which allowed him to gain access to the music building whenever he wanted, as he had his own set of keys. Whenever I found time to practice the piano, David would unlock the music building for me and stay there for hours claiming he had to be there to chaperone. It was easy to tell what his real motives were. As I was playing a certain sonata by Beethoven, I would get to a certain note and David would turn off the lights to the practice room. I came to expect the lights to turn off, and eventually would miss it if it didn't happen. In the end some of our most memorable moments were spent while practicing music. Amy is a very kind and intelligent person. She has graduated with three different degrees from the college we were attending at the time we met. Her diligence and dedication in everything she does allow her to succeed in all the projects she is undertaking. People seem to look at her as a leader. She has progressed very quickly as a nurse, and although she has only been an RN for six years she has been in administration positions for four of those years. A little over one year ago she became the Director of Nursing at her place of work, and has dealt with the challenge well. I have always been impressed with her hard working attitude and her dedication to helping others. David served a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints in Leipzig, Germany. He has been able to use his German language skills in many circumstances, and looks forward to reading the fairy tales of Hans Christian Andersen and the Brother's Grimm to his children, in the original German language. He loves to share the stories of Germany and the experiences that he had while he was there. He was able to talk to holocaust survivors and hear the experiences of their childhood. We plan to visit Germany with our family, with David as our tour guide. I love to hear the stories of his mission, and I look forward to celebrating cultural experiences with our family. Amy loves serving other people in any capacity she can. She has given countless piano lessons for free to adults and neighboring kids, donated her hair to Locks of Love, and frequently helps out with community projects. I think it was her love of service that convinced her to enter the nursing field, and drives her desire to be a mother. She is a nurturer at heart, and shows it in her daily life. One of the qualities that I have learned from David is confidence. Anytime a new neighbor moves in, or even when we are standing in line at the grocery store David is able to meet new people and make new friends. I have always been a shy person, and meeting a stranger has always stretched my level of comfort. With David as my example, I have learned to feel more at ease with new experiences. He is able to stand strong through challenges, and stands behind the choices he has made. Together we have struggled with infertility and treatment options for over six years. During this time, we have discovered what it means to be in love. The difficulties we have faced have brought us together and made us stronger. We know that adoption is right for us, and we feel like this is our time to have a child. We look forward to building our family. Thank you for taking the time to get to know us a little better. With Love and Admiration, David and Amy Please contact us at davida.amyk@gmail.com
