A letter of love.

 

Hello. My name is Jennifer. Joanna is my older sister and dearest friend since childhood. In our teenage years we shared a circle of friends, saw concerts and attended a church youth group together. Although I'm living states away now, we continue to share our bond of sisterhood.  One of our special memories together is when Joanna visited with my husband and I as we awaited the birth of our first baby. She was like an angel to me during that time, selfless and nurturing. I would describe my sister as a gentle, caring and supportive person and I believe her strongest attribute is commitment.





As close as we have always been, its no surprise that I was with Joanna on the evening when she first met Michael (or more affectionately called Mickey).  I've always known him to be a kindhearted person. Like Joanna, he has a uniquely close relationship with his family, most especially with his father. Over the years he has proved to be a wonderful brother-in-law, someone I can confide in. He is a generous person and a good provider for my sister.

 

Joanna and Mike were high school sweethearts quite different from the ordinary in the sense that they didn't attend the same school. In fact, they conquered their divide by numerous towns. I recall memories of Joanna and I taking train rides so that she could be with him. After nearly 1/4 of a century you can still hear them calling each other sweetheart names and see them holding hands. I have always admired their respect for each other and have witnessed them remain strongly committed to each other throughout the challenges of their infertility.

 

Together they adore their nephews, showing their love by snuggling those who are newly born, jumping into a pile of army soldiers on the floor, getting competitive behind a video game controller, showing their support at music shows, and sporting events.  Their love for their daughter is endless!  They are such loving people and would be the perfect parents to another baby.



If you've read this far you are likely considering my sister and brother-in-law as adoptive parents for your baby. Knowing their depth of love for one another, dedication and commitment to family, ability to provide and unwavering faith in God, they are undoubtedly the right choice.
