First of all, we would like to thank you for taking the time to look at our profile and get to know us. We can only imagine the strength and love it takes to consider adoption for your child, and we hope you know how deeply we respect and admire your courage. We have dreamed of becoming parents, not just to raise a child, but to offer them a home filled with love, laughter, support, and stability. Our journey to this point has been filled with hope, reflection, and a deep desire to build a family through adoption. If we have the privilege of raising your child, we promise to surround them with unconditional love, strong values, and every opportunity to grow into whomever they’re meant to be.No matter the path you choose for your child, we send so much love, strength, and peace as you navigate this journey.
For this child, we have PRAYED. 1 Samuel 1:27

We have always known we wanted to raise a family to serve God. After struggling to conceive on our own, and with Alex having some health conditions that could make pregnancy high-risk, we decided that God had his own path for us to grow our family, and that was through adoption. We began our adoption journey with Gladney in 2023.

We both grew up as Christians in the Church of Christ religion. Attending weekly church services is very important to us, and our faith in Jesus Christ is very strong. We attend a very small, but close-knit church in our hometown. The whole congregation has been a huge support system for us throughout our adoption journey. We lean on our Lord through daily prayer to help us through all of life’s struggles. We know that God has a plan for us, and we are in constant prayer and belief in his plan for us. Being Christians and having strong faith in Jesus Christ is very important to both of us, and we hope that we can instill those same strong Christian faith and morals into our future children as well.

We have numerous nieces and nephews, but the one thing missing is having a child of our own to love. We are both very loving and caring people and would show our kids unconditional support throughout their entire lives. We also have a close relative who has recently adopted 2 children. We have seen firsthand how love is shown from the entire family to a child who needed a loving home and foundation. These family members have been a huge inspiration and support to us in our decision to pursue adoption. Seeing how the family has shown so much love to two children who are from a birth mother outside of the family is very heartwarming and excites us to know that is the kind of love and support our child will receive as well. We intend to show our child the exact same love and support as their two children have received. We have a very large family and are active with both sides, so there is plenty of love to go around.

We have been together for 4 years, and married for 3 years. We met in March 2021 on an online Christian dating app called Upward. Clifton proposed in October 2021, after only dating for 7 months. We were married in January 2022, with many close friends and family in attendance.After we were married, Clifton moved to my (Alex) hometown, and we have lived in our new house for almost 3 years now. We live next door to Alex’s parents, who have 5 acres of land for grandchildren to run and play.We LOVE to travel! We took our first trip together after only dating for 2 months. In the 4 years we have been together, we have traveled to 23 different states and 11 different countries. Most of this travel has been going on road trips, but we also love to go on cruises around the world. We have been on 3 different cruises, including one for our honeymoon.

Our home sits on 1 acre of land out in the country, with Alex’s parents living next door, owning 4 acres. On our land, we have 6 grown chickens and 6 baby chicks. Our chickens lay eggs each day, which we have been able to sell and make a profit from. We also have a garden, which Clifton enjoys tending to during the day, when he has a break from work. We grow our own foods such as potatoes, corn, cucumbers, strawberries, and cantaloupe. We also have a second garden, which holds food for our chickens. Clifton grows corn, peas, lettuce, spinach, carrots, and squash that he will then turn into chicken food.

Thank you for your incredible courage and brave decision to consider adoption. We know that by making this decision, you only want what is best for your child, and we deeply respect your desire to find the right people to love and cherish your baby. We promise to provide a home filled with love, joy, and support, and we will cherish every moment we have with your baby. We are excited for the future and for the chance to welcome your child into our family with open arms and hearts. Your child will always know that your decision was made out of love and your hopes of giving them a fulfilling life by choosing the right family. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you. We will do everything we can to honor your decision and ensure your child grows up knowing the deep love that surrounds them from both you and us. “How sweet to hold a newborn baby, and feel the pride and joy he brings; But greater still the calm assurance: This child can face uncertain days, because He Lives!”
