Hello! We are Brian and Tamara, and we’re honored to share our lives with you!  Thank you for taking the time to learn about us.

Our Story: We were high school sweethearts who, after going our separate ways in college, fell in love again and married 14 years later!  We just celebrated our 8th wonderful year of marriage.   We are blessed to have a strong and healthy marriage which we will never take for granted.  When fertility tests revealed we would be unable to conceive we were heartbroken, but God has healed that hurt and has given us a passion for adoption.  We can’t wait to meet the precious baby God has chosen for us to raise.

Tamara on Brian: Brian is famous among our friends and family for his sense of humor.  I fell in love with his integrity, intelligence, and passion for God.  He is tender-hearted and encouraging, and he is a very caring and committed husband.  Children are drawn to his smile and his silliness.  He has never outgrown the joys of playing, and he takes great pleasure in playing with our nieces and nephews, as well as our friends’ children.  Tea parties or football; kites or dolls – count him in.  He loves being outdoors and looks forward to taking a little one on picnics, hikes, fishing and camping trips.  He works hard to provide for our family and he takes very good care of us.  I know he will be the greatest daddy! 

Brian on Tamara: Tamara is God’s perfect provision for me, and I adore her.  She is sweet, funny, and wise.  As a former music teacher, she knows how to make learning fun.  She delights in sewing, cooking, and in making all sorts of crafts.  Her creativity seems boundless, and I hope she’ll pass that creativity on to our children.  She’ll sing and pray, read and snuggle with our children.  She’s going to be an awesome mommy.  Tamara works part-time at our church for now, but her schedule is very flexible and she will be able to take the baby to the office with her.   We are planning for her to be a stay-at-home mommy very soon.

Our Home: We live in San Antonio.  It is a great place to raise a family - the hill country is beautiful, and there is so much to see and do.  Our home rests in a quiet neighborhood on the northeast side of town.  We share it with our little red-haired dog named Reilly (she’s great with children and loves to play) and our cat named Gracie.  We love our home and are building great memories here.

Our Faith: As committed Christians, our faith in God guides our lives.  We are very involved in our church.  Brian is a deacon, and we both sing in the choir and on the praise team.  We’ve taught Sunday School and Vacation Bible School.  We have a wonderful church family who love and care for us, including several friends who have also been blessed by adoption.

Family and Friends: We treasure the time spent with our families.  We are very close to them and they are all anxious to welcome a child to our family.  Brian’s parents live 4 hours away, but are always ready to make a trip up to see the grandkids, and Tamara’s mother just moved into a neighborhood 5 minutes away. Before Tamara’s daddy passed away this summer, he wept tears of joy when he learned were going to adopt!   We also have close friends with young children who have prayerfully supported us through our adoption journey.  They eagerly await the fun our families will share together with a few more kids in the mix!

For Fun: We love to explore, often taking day-trips to nearby state parks and small towns.  We enjoy taking pictures, picnicking, hiking and camping.  We are best friends and we have chosen to make family time a priority.  As our family grows, our family time and our adventures will be even sweeter!

In Closing:  We realize it has taken incredible love, courage, and selflessness for you to choose adoption.   We are so grateful you did!  We pray for you and think of you often.  A home filled with faith, love, and laughter awaits the children that we will love and nurture.  If you choose to place your child in our family, you can be certain that your baby will know you, love you, and never forget you.  There is no greater gift than this precious life. 

With great love and respect,
Brian & Tamara
