Dear Birthmom:

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 25 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! Unfortunately a lot of other women thought he was cute too, so it was hard to talk. 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 knows everyone. He is also a school counselor, and I fell in love with his gift with children. I knew he was perfect “husband material” from the moment I met him.

So today, I am still totally and completely in love with this man. James makes me laugh so hard I sometimes cry.

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 frozen dinners, and trying to figure out where my life was going next.

I had seen this petite and beautiful 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. She loves everyone and hates to see people suffer.

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.

Our Journey Together: We are very blessed to have such a strong and amazing marriage. Unfortunately, things don’t always go as planned, and our happily ever after has yet to include children. While we are very happy with each other, we know that there is someone very little still missing.

We pray daily that God will bless us with a child, and that God is watching over the birthparents still waiting to meet us. We hope that you will be in the next part of our wonderful story.

Love, James and Sallie
