Hello
We hope this message finds you well.
My wife and I are reaching out to you through the church website to express our interest in exploring adoption. We believe that every child deserves a loving, nurturing home, and we are eager to provide such an environment. We are specifically looking to welcome a child aged newborn to 4 years into our family but open to other options.
We have been considering adoption for a while now and feel that this is the right time for us to begin this journey. We understand that the church may have resources or programs related to adoption, and we would greatly appreciate any guidance or assistance that you can provide. While we may not be active in the congregation, we hold a deep respect and appreciation for the values of love, kindness, and community that the church upholds.
We would be grateful if you could provide us with any information about available resources, local programs, or contacts that could assist us in our adoption journey. We’re particularly interested in any resources that focus on the adoption of younger children. We’re open to any advice or guidance that can help us navigate this process.
Thank you in advance for your time and assistance. Please email us at izzomichael7@gmail.com or please call or txt 321-288-6977
We look forward to hearing from you soon.
Best regards,
Mike & Katy
