Dear Friends,

We are Sherrie and my and Ben!  Thank you so much for taking the time to view our profile!  We cannot begin understand how difficult this time must be in your life.  We admire you for considering adoption and   commend you sacrificing your wants for the needs of your child.  You obviously already care very much for your child!
We are very excited to add children to our family.  After years of fertility treatments and struggles, we are thrilled for the opportunity to adopt!  We feel that we have been led to this path, just as our birth parents and children are.  We believe that adoption is a miracle and can’t wait to have one of our own.

This June, we will have been married for 7 and have loved every one of them.  We got married right before my husband started college.  Our favorite thing to do is spend time with each other and with our family and friends.  There is nothing we like more than to play games and talking with those we love.  We love visiting with our families, especially during the holidays!  We are both the middle children in our families!  Ben has three bothers and a sister and Sherrie is wedged right in the middle to two sisters.  We tease each other and say we have serious middle children syndrome!

WHY BEN LOVES SHERRIE:

Sherrie is the love of my life.  I was lucky to find her when I did!  She is beautiful on the inside and on the outside.  Everyone who knows her loves her kind and friendly nature.  Before I graduated from college, she worked with people with special needs at their jobs.  She has a very compassionate heart with them, and always had their best interest at heart.  Sherrie is also very crafty and loves to make cards for special occasions.  She is currently in a club with others to learn new techniques and to swap ideas.  She has an eye for what goes together well, and enjoys decorating and organizing.  She loves to plan parties and fun friend activities.  I love to watch her with our nieces and nephews.  She truly has a love for children and that’s what makes me love her even more.  She also likes to babysit our friends children so that they can have a break and get things done they need to do.

WHY SHERRIE LOVES BEN:

One of the things I admire most about Ben is his hard work and dedicated to whatever he sets his mind to.  If there is anything he doesn’t know, he learns.  He is multi-talented with so many different interests.  I cannot wait to see him pass these onto our children and teach them.  Not only does Ben play the trumpet and the guitar, he is also teaching himself piano and loves singing.   I know that Ben will make a wonderful father because I have seen with our nieces and nephews.  He finds no greater joy then seeing the smile on their faces.

Ben loves his family and enjoys the times that he can be with them.  He came from a strong family unite that is faithful in their church and in family gatherings such as playing games, watching movies and gathering around the table for dinner.  He strives to implement these things into our home and family.

We are so excited about our lives right now.  My husband has found his career as a computer engineer, and is working very hard at it.  He enjoys what he does.  I am a homemaker, but working a part time job until we have children.  When children arrive, Ben will be able to make enough money to provide for us.  I will be a stay at home mom.  We believe it is very important for a mom to be at home to love and nurture our kids.
We both show great love for each other and for our families.  We hope to raise a family on similar teachings that we were brought up on and by doing so we hope to have a strong family unit and bond.  We are also both very active in our church.  We enjoy going to local events and discovering new places to visit.  We like reading, swimming or finding some kind of home project we can do together.

We know that this must be a difficult time for you and we want you to know that our prayers are with you.  We know that you will be guided in making this choice.  Thank you again for taking the time in considering us in the adoption of your baby.

With much love,
Benjamin and Sherrie
