Will and Kelly

Dear Birth Parents,

First of all, I want to say how much we admire you. We have so much love in our hearts for birth parents and the sacrifices they make for their children. Without your willingness and strength, our dream of becoming parents may never be realized. For that, there is much love for you and your decisions.

We respect your inspiration and truly believe that your decision needs to come from your heart and needs to be personal to your wishes. We want you to take that time to make the right decision for yourself and not for any other outside party. You and the baby come first.

We believe that adoption brings many wonderful people together. In our opinion, the child is lucky to have us and you! We want our children to know where they come from and about their family history, not only about us but about you. Please feel free to talk to us openly and honestly about your desires on openness in adoption. We want your comfort to be considered as well as our own and to come up with a suitable situation that fits everyone’s needs, but most of all provides a fully enriched life for the child.

We want to adopt for many reasons, so giving you some background might help you get to know us better.We are also more than willing to answer any questions you might have. Will was born in the South and grew up there for most of his childhood. I, Kelly, was raised in Utah and have lived here my entire life. Will moved to Utah with family at the age of 15. We met when Will had been home from his mission for the LDS Church for a year.We were married in June of 2004 in the Manti Temple. We have been married for 5 years now. We love the time we spend with each other and we are grateful to be in each other’s lives.

What Kelly says about Will….. Will loves the outdoors. Any opportunity to go out and do something in nature, he is there. He is very smart. He retains so much information that he beats me in Trivial Pursuit every time! Will is hilarious! He is always making me laugh. He loves to cuddle in the morning, which makes me smile. He still loves me even though I have gained a little bit of weight since we got married :) He gives me back rubs and never expects any in return. Now that is true love right there!

Will has been the best thing to happen to me. He is devoted and loyal. I know that he will be there for me. He has taught me so much about life and has broadened my horizons in ways I have never expected. He teaches me new things every day. He is patient with me and helps me through the hard times. He is supportive of my decisions. He protects me when I need it. He has a strong work ethic. He is a dedicated provider for our family and has such a desire to take care of all our needs and even sometimes our wants. He listens to me talk and talk and talk and talk....oh and talk. He genuinely wants me to be happy. He sacrifices for me and never complains. Will is open to others and is a great example on how to not judge others. He is charismatic and fantastic, but most of all, he makes me happy and I never want to be with anyone but him.

What Will says about Kelly… Kelly is a wonderful woman. Bright and energetic. Full of passion for the things she enjoys and likes. She loves to learn and to teach. She's good at it too. She helps keep us on an even keel. Where I am weak, she is strong. Where I falter she is steadfast. She goes on and on about how smart she thinks I am, but what she doesn't know is that marrying her was quite possibly the smartest thing I've done.

We've gone through up's and down's, but my life has been so much better with her in it. What she won't tell you is that she is a brilliant cook, when she cooks. Her caramels are to die for, and she can produce a perfect replica of Outback's Alice Spring's Chicken. She is kind and caring, and will often times listen to me when no one else will, regardless of how unimportant or boring the subject may be to her. I'm pretty sure she knows more about ducks than she cares to!

I like her willingness to learn and grow and to try new things. Her with her hair is always a surprise, but she has good taste, and never disappoints. She is a great woman and a lot stronger than most would think.

Adoption will change our lives and bring so much joy to our hearts. We have been through so much. I have always struggled with fertility related issues. We tried for 4 years to conceive and bring a child into our home. I have suffered 2 miscarriages along the way. We finally decided the Lord had different plans in mind for us. Adoption was decided upon and almost instantly we felt so much emotional relief in our lives.

Adoption has become my passion. I have studied every aspect of it and have grown to love the concept along with all the people involved with the process, caseworkers, birth parents, adoptees, advocates, adoptive couples. Adoption is an amazingly spiritual and loving thing and we will forever be changed by its beauty.

Please consider what would be best for your life and your situation. Make sure you trust yourself and your feelings, guiding you to the best plan for you and your baby. If that is us, please let us help you in any way we can. We want to show that love for you we already have in hearts. We want to build a relationship with you and hope to one day call you family. We pray for your success and for the support you need and if we can be that for you, we will.

Thank you so much for considering us and please ask if you have any questions about us.

What Will says about Kelly, hmmm....... Kelly is a wonderful woman. Bright and energetic. Full of passion for the things she enjoys and likes. She loves to learn and to teach. She's good at it too. She helps keep us on an even keel. Where I am weak, she is strong. Where I falter she is steadfast.

Will and I have done some fun things together. We love to camp. We like to go with our family. MY mom loves to camp so we have gone with her many times. We always enjoy 4wheeling and snowmobiling. My dad has a cabin and we love to go there. Our family is up there often and the drive is only 3 hours from our house. We tend to get pretty goofy on our camp trips. It is always a blast. We really need to get an air mattress though, we always seem to be sleeping a gigantic rock.

Our family vacations are always way fun. My family is huge! There are so many of us and it used to be hard to get us all together. Now as adults it is awesome! All of us have a blast. Last year we went to Hawaii and I have never had that much fun with my family. It was nice to get to know each other again. The boys have always gotten along and the picture to the left is one of my favorites of some of them. We have also had some 4wheeling adventures! WOw! The boys in my life are crazy. They sure do know hoe to have fun!

We went to Mexico on a cruise. Will's work gave it to him as a Christmas bonus. It was awesome. We went to Ensenada and it was cold! crazy. We love to cruise. Will especially loves that he can order as many lobsters as he wants!

We love Halloween! When we were on our honeymoon in Orlando, we went to a murder mystery dinner theater and loved it. We decided to do a murder mystery dinner for our friends every year on Halloween. This last year was the best we have had. We had the funnest characters and people really got into it. In past years we have done a 50's theme and a luau.

Christmas is another holiday we love. Will's family always comes over the Saturday before Christmas for a SWEET SATURDAY! We make enough sweets to make someone vomit. When I say we I mean me and Deanna. The boys and Will's little brother and sister usually play games and eat the sweets as we make them.I got the funniest picture of my father in law that day. He cracks me up :) Will and I admittedly suck at holidays. We don't have kids yet so we aren't really fans of the anticipation. We usually open our presents early :) When we have kid we won't so that though.

Will has been the best thing to happen to me. He has always wanted to provide a good home for me and he works so hard so that we can have the things that we want. He is devoted and loyal. I know that he will be there for me. He has taught me so much about life and has broadened my horizons in ways I have never expected. Will is hilarious! He is always making me laugh. He is also so amazingly brilliant. He knows so much information that I don't know how it all fits in his head! He teaches me new things everyday. He is so patient with me and helps me through the hard times. He is so supportive of my decisions. He loves to cuddle in the morning, which makes me smile. He still loves me even though I have gained a little bit of weight since we got married :) He protects me when I need it. He listens to me talk and talk and talk and talk....oh and talk :) He gives me back rubs and never expects any in return. He genuinely wants me to be happy. He sacrifices for me and never complains. He has big muscles and has the best tan skin ever. Will is open to others and is a great example on how to not judge others. He is charismatic and fantastic. But most of all, he makes me happy and I never want to be with anyone but him.
