Tim & MitziDear Birthmother:  Hi. We are Tim, Mitzi and Stephen. We are a young and fun-filled family, and are very excited about the prospect of adopting another child. We know this must be a difficult time for you. You must love your baby very much as you have chosen to give him or her life. We are praying for you that God will sustain you through this difficult time and will guide you in making the decisions that are right for you and your baby. We know you probably have a lot of questions about us, so we will try to give you a snapshot of who we are and what we care about.We met in 1992 while participating in a reunion concert for a choir we were members of in high school. We married in 1994 and are still very much in love. After two years of marriage, we decided we were ready to become parents. Our excitement soon turned to frustration as our attempts to become pregnant were unsuccessful. After seeing a fertility specialist, we finally experienced the joy of finding out that we were pregnant, only to learn days later that we would miscarry. After two more heartbreaking miscarriages within the year we decided that instead of risking heartbreak, we would pursue adoption as the way for us to complete our family. Our hopes and dreams were realized with the adoption of our son, Stephen in February, 2002. We are now ready to open our hearts and home to another child.  Stephen is an amazing little boy and the light of our lives. He is 2 years old and is full of life and energy. He loves to draw, read and play with his trains. Our lives have been transformed by this child and we know he will make a wonderful big brother. We try to stress the simple pleasures with Stephen – playing in the yard, taking a walk, playing ball and reading books (sometimes the same one again and again at his request!)We are not the modern-day “overscheduled” family that you hear so much about these days. That isn’t what we want for ourselves or for our children. In addition, we make a point of spending special one-on-one time with Stephen every day. Mitzi and Tim were born and raised in Kentucky with roots in the Eastern and Southeastern parts of the state. We both come from loving, Christian families and we model that upbringing in the way we raise our children.  Mitzi is a full-time mom and works 16 hours (2 days) per week as a Corporate Trainer/Human Resources Manager for a healthcare company. She has one sister to whom she is very close. Her parents are eager to become grandparents again and are anxious to baby-sit and “spoil” another child the way they have Stephen. Mitzi loves singing in a community chorus, reading, swimming and taking walks with Tim and Stephen.Tim is a vice president for a large financial institution. He also has a sister who lives in Chicago with her husband and 2 daughters. His nieces, Megan and Grace, love their Uncle Timmy. His parents live about two hours away but visit often. We love to visit them in the country on weekends. They are also excited about being grandparents again. Tim is musically talented and loves to sing and play the piano and guitar. He is an avid golfer and “tries” to keep up with the kids at church on the basketball court. Our family really enjoys traveling! Stephen particularly likes the beach. When he’s older we can’t wait to take him (and his brother or sister) to England and France to visit some friends of ours. We have a beautiful old home that was built in 1925 that we have totally remodeled. We have a large back yard with a privacy fence with lots of room to run and play. We have two cats, Shakespeare and Othello, who are gentle and love to play with children. We love to spend time with our friends, several of whom have adopted children as well. It will be great for our children to know that some of their friends are adopted too. We are Christians and aver very active in our church. We teach Sunday school, vacation Bible School and work with the youth group. We believe in raising children the way we were raised, with tons of love and tons of laughter. To us, life is a wonderful adventure and we want our children to have the same sense of joy that we do every day. Therefore, we believe in positive discipline. We also have been blessed with the resources to insure that our children will have a good education and many opportunities in life. We don’t believe in keeping secrets from our children. Therefore, “adoption” is a household word and we will share what we know, as little or as much as that may be, and that you are comfortable with. Hopefully you’ve gotten a glimpse of who we are. We adore our son, and love being parents. Having cared for Stephen since his birth, we have come to realize that we have the time, patience and resources for another child. Stephen enjoys other children, including babies and older kids. Our family has much love to give to a new baby. He or she will be coming into a family with two dedicated parents and a “big brother” ready to help and share his world. We are looking forward to sharing our lives with another child. We realize this will take an act of amazing courage, love and generosity from very special birth parents. Maybe that will be you! Thank you for considering us. Sincerely, Tim, Mitzi & Stephen If you would like additional information about Tim and Mitzi or would like to speak to them, please call Adoptions of Kentucky and speak to Ruth or Diana at 1-800-542-5245. We look forward to answering your questions. |
