| Family, friends, and faith are very important in our lives. We have a wonderful group of friends who are very supportive of our decision to adopt. They will gladly welcome any addition to our family to our weekly board game get-togethers. Our church group is excited for us and has offered to help us with our transition to parenthood. We can guarantee that on the day we arrive home with our baby there will be a hot, home-cooked meal waiting for us and several more to come in the following weeks. Our faith has held us steady and given us confidence that we will one day be parents. Daily prayer, the support of our small group, and spending time with God�s Word give us the strength to know that the right birthparents will choose us to be Mommy and Daddy. |

| While Kyle�s father lives in Ohio, we have regular visits and talk on the phone about once a week. | ||||||||||||||||
| Kyle�s brother also lives within two hours so we are able to visit him often. Kevin can't wait to be an uncle. He's already warned us he's going to spoil his first niece or nephew rotten! | ||||||||||||||||

| Holidays are a time to spend with family! Every year Natalie's family comes to our house for Christmas with all of the nieces and nephews. On Christmas Day, Natalie's mom, stepdad, sister, father, and Kyle's brother and father spend the day with us. Kyle always makes two wonderful meals (brunch and dinner) because he loves to cook and entertain and we all enjoy each other's company, play games, and of course take lots of pictures. | ||||||||||||||||
| Natalie's stepsister Tina has 3 children and is pregnant with their fourth. Natalie loves buying books for them and reading stories to them whenever we get together. | ||||||||||||||||

| Kyle and his brother Kevin are very close. Whenever they get together it's like they're little kids again. They just can't resist the urge to wrestle! Of course if there are actually any kids around they just join in the fun! | ||||||||||||||||
| We have 5 nieces and nephews (and one more on the way!) that we love spoiling! Natalie's sister and brother-in-law are more than ready to pay us back for all of that spoiling by spoiling our children right back! | ||||||||||||||||
