Thank you for choosing life, and thank you for choosing adoption. Without selfless people like yourself, people like us would never have families!

ADOPTION Adoption, first and foremost, is about LOVE. The love of a birthmother wanting to give her child a better life, and the love of an adoptive family who could not had this family without her. We have been waiting for a child for 7 years now, and we believe God has a plan.

How I met James: I didn’t think it was possible, but I fall more in love with James every single day. I met James when I was in my 20’s and working in Irving. I had somehow decided that I would be single the rest of my life, since things never seemed to work out for me. Happy endings only happen in the movies, right?

We met in a church group, but things didn’t really take off until the night of the dance. The “cute boy” actually sat next to me at my table and talked to me all night! But by the end of the night he asked for my number, and we began dating. My luck had finally changed!

How did I know James was the one? He is the most kind and giving man I have ever met. He is also hilarious. If James is not giving me a hard time, then I know something is wrong! James is the king of “one-liners”. I also knew he was the one because everywhere we went, I would hear someone yell , “JAAAAAMMMEESSS!”. Someone always knew James, or had a funny story about him. He grew up in the area and went to a private Catholic school. Today James is a school counselor who has an amazing gift with children. He also has a loud and loving family (his mom is British, his dad is Cajun) who has embraced me and loved me from day one.

I am still totally and completely in love with this man. James makes me laugh so hard I sometimes cry, and I cannot imagine my life without him.

How I met Sallie: I had just moved from Dallas to Lewisville for work when I joined a new church, as well as the church singles group. I was living in a tiny apartment, eating really bad fast food, and trying to figure out where my life was going next.

I had seen this petite girl in bible study, but never really talked to her until we had a church mixer. She looked so sweet, and I knew I had to dance with her. My life has never been the same since.

Sallie is an amazing wife. She has the ability to connect with you and make you feel like you are the only person in the room. Not only does Sallie love children, but children love Sallie.

I didn’t think it was possible to love someone so much. When my family and friends see us together, they tell me that they have never seen me so happy. So today, I am still totally in love with the “girl” from the dance.

WHY WE ARE ADOPTING
Everyone has a "story" to tell. While unable to get pregnant, we actually did become licensed foster parents. We had a foster son from birth to 16 months old who we hoped to adopt. He was born with Meth in his system, and when we got him, he screamed for about 3 months straight. We worked with him day and night to get him healthy. But unfortunately the system returned him to his birth father when he was 16 months old, and then the birth father gave the child away. When he left us, he was beautiful, healthy, and happy!

There is no doubt in my heart that we will appreciate the opportunity to be parents again, like no one else could. While at the same time, we understand what a huge sacrifice this is for you!

We believe that parenting a child is one of the greatest gifts we could ever be given. We live in a great neighborhood, with great schools, we love to travel, and we have an amazing extended family who has supported us every step of the way! We look forward to meeting you!

Love,  
James and Sallie
