Dave & Denise

We would like to begin by expressing our utmost admiration and respect for the courageous decision you are considering. As prospective adoptive parents, we want you to know that we approach this process with immense compassion, empathy, and gratitude. We recognize the depth of love you have for your child and the selflessness it takes to consider an adoption plan. We hope to provide you with a glimpse into our lives, values, and the warm and nurturing home we can offer your precious child. Our hearts are open, ready, and eager to embark on this journey together, with honesty, communication, and mutual understanding.
