Joe and Nicole - Candia, New Hampshire

Dear Birth Parents,

It is an undeniable truth that God never makes mistakes. Your selfless and loving decision to courageously choose life and create an adoptive plan for your child shows that the love you have for your baby far outweighs the depth of anxiety and fear you may be facing right now. Giving your child the gift of life is an honor to both God and the couple that will lovingly wrap your child within the heart of their family.

A close friend of ours has received the blessing of a child through adoption. She once told us that from the moment we decided to say “yes” to God's will and open our hearts to adoption, He had a child in mind for our family. With that being said, please know that we are praying for you and for your little one. We deeply admire your strength. We are so happy that the small soul inside of you has been blessed with the kind of intimate love that leads to such a selfless and courageous decision as yours.

Our sincere hope, as you are learning about our family, is that you will understand the depth of our love for God and for one another. We hope to extend that love to the beautiful little soul that you have conceived.

Joe About Nicole
I have never met someone with as big a heart as Nicole. She thrives on the opportunity to love others and lives each day with sincere gratitude and thanksgiving for the blessing of her family. Nicole’s favorite little “love bugs” are our two sons Tyler (age 7) and Noah (age 5). Since their birth, she has stayed home to care for them and to be part of their journeys. She has not missed a chapter of their young lives and, if asked, she would tell you she wouldn’t dream of having it any other way.

Being a stay-at-home Mom, Nicole is able to volunteer in the boy’s classes, organize their many play dates, and be there to absorb every priceless moment. Each day is welcomed as a new adventure, and they are often off and running to a playground, to visit friends, the library, children’s museum or the beach. In contrast, much-loved “pj days” provide cozy time at home with forts, crafts and silly made-up games. It is clear that the greatest joy in Nicole's life comes from the gift of motherhood.

Nicole is a woman of love and sincerity. Her greatest gift is her ability to share that sincere love with others.

Nicole About Joe
My husband is my best friend. Joe has a genuine selfless nature with remarkable gifts of patience and humility. Anyone who knows him would be hard pressed to remember a situation where he put his needs above that of another. He is real, he is open and he humbly lives his life in service to others with sincere gratitude for what he has.

Just as striking as his brown eyes and smile, is his sense of humor. He is a kid at heart and has a true appreciation for the need to be silly and have fun. On the flip side, he is a man of loyalty, hard work and genuine concern for others. He has proudly accepted his role of provider and is never found at rest when there is a need within his family, community or place of employment.

Joe’s happiest moments are with Tyler and Noah. He loves nothing more than to get on the floor and play Legos, board games and wrestle or run outside to join them for a game of baseball, hockey or a bike ride around the neighborhood. Joe absolutely shines as a father.

Family
Tyler is seven years old; a happy little man with a very big heart. He is compassionate, loving and genuinely respectful of others thoughts and feelings. He loves deeply and has a unique appreciation for the gift of family. Tyler is always busy playing; his favorite toys being Legos, Hot Wheels and trains. He loves to be outside on the swings, on his bike or Big Wheel or playing baseball, hockey or basketball. Tyler is a joyful little boy with the cutest smile and the most adorable and contagious giggle we have ever heard.

Noah is five years old; a little man with a zest for life that truly leaves everyone around him wishing they knew his secret to happiness. He is constantly entertaining us with his jokes, silly antics and endless dance moves. Noah plays hard throughout the day, most often with Legos or one of his many stuffed animals that he creatively brings to life with his fun imagination. Noah also loves to be outside running around, playing on the swings or jumping in the bouncy house. He is very loving, sensitive and sincere of heart. After hours of play, he loves nothing more than to grab his blanket and climb up on our lap for a good snuggle.

We are a family that loves to be outside and are so thankful that our surroundings offer so many fun opportunities to absorb the beauty of the ocean and the mountains. We spend most of our summer days at the beach or at the playground and love to take advantage of the endless hiking opportunities available in the fall, while our favorite outing in winter is sledding at a park near our home.

Our Desire in Raising Our Children
We are so very thankful for God's blessing of our two sons. Truly honored as their parents, we understand that our job goes far beyond teaching them how to share, how to tie their shoes and how to be loving little people. Our hope in raising our children is that they understand how very special they are. When we tuck our boys in bed each night, we tell them, “we are so happy God gave you to us.” We want so much for them to understand they are priceless in our eyes and enrich our lives in a way we never knew was possible.

We aim to instill in our children an understanding that the real gifts in life are not found in a toy store but rather in the blessings of their family and friends. We hope they grow with compassion and respect for others, a selfless and giving heart, a desire to serve others, and gratitude for what God has provided for them.

Our hearts are open and waiting for the little soul that will complete our family.


With our sincerity and prayers,

Joe, Nicole, Tyler and Noah
