Neil & Carrie's Social
Worker Comments

Neil and Carrie have been happily married for almost five years and both of them very much want to provide a loving home to a child.   They both love children and both desire to experience the joy of being parents together.

Neil and Carrie have longed to start a family and are very ready to bring a child into their home. They feel very good about their decision to adopt and they feel deeply that they can love and rear an adopted child as their own, giving this child a good, loving, secure and Christian home.

Neil and Carrie state that family, friends, co-workers, and fellow church members are extremely supportive and excited about the couple’s desire to adopt a child. Their child will most likely be the first grandchild for each of their parents so they are very excited indeed.

Neil and Carrie believe birthparents make a brave, selfless decision when placing their child for adoption. They truly appreciate and are grateful for the opportunity a birth mother would provide for them to love and care for her baby and provide a stable home for him or her.

Neil and Carrie desire to adopt a Caucasian, or Black/White, Hispanic/White, American Indian/White, or Asian/White child, healthy or with minor medical needs, age birth to three months of age, either male or female. They do not wish to adopt a sibling group at this time. They would accept a child whose mother occasionally used alcohol or tobacco products.
