Dear Birth Family,
We are Jim and Randi from Corinth, Texas. Thank you for taking the time to learn about us. Although we cannot begin to comprehend the feelings and emotions that you are dealing with right now, we want you to know that we greatly admire your courage, strength, and faith.
We’ve been married almost seven years and having a family has always been important to us. We believe that God has a plan for everyone and that adoption is God’s plan for our family. Adoption is not new to us; Randi was adopted at a young age and our families can’t wait to begin this journey with us.
We are active members in our Christian church. Jim arrives three hours early each Sunday morning to help set up before service. He also works the sound booth most Sundays. Randi serves in the children’s ministry, mostly in the nursery. Our church seems to be populating from within, with many more babies on the way, it is truly amazing. We also attend bible study each week. Our group is called the Rock Stars of CrossPoint. Oddly enough, none of us are musically inclined! We have met some of our best friends at church and feel so blessed to have met them.
Randi tells about Jim ~
Jim is 38 years old and grew up in Northern Illinois. He’s strong, dependable, goofy, and sensitive. He is truly a comedian at heart. He has so much love to give and I know he will be an amazing dad. He works as a Parts Specialist at a local Ford dealership.
Jim tells about Randi ~
Randi, 33, was born and raised in Arizona. Being an adoptee, she has firsthand knowledge of the trials, tribulations, and joys that come with being adopted. She is the youngest of four children and her family lives in Arizona in the same town where she grew up. She loves visiting them as often as she can.
Loving, caring, and compassionate are a few words that come to mind when I think of Randi. She works in the misdemeanor division of the Denton County Clerk’s office. In her free time she loves to read, scrapbook, spend time with friends, and play with our dogs.
At the time of placement, Randi will take at least 6 weeks off of work for maternity leave. Jim plans to take a few weeks off at that time, as well, so the family can begin the long awaited bonding process. Upon time for us to return to work, our child will go to our friends’ home for daycare.
Our child will know from the beginning that he/she is adopted. We want him/her to know that it was because of the love their birthparents had for them, that they were brought into our hearts and home. We would like to build a relationship with our child’s birth parents so the birth family can be an important part of the child’s life and the child can know that their birth family continues to care about them.
Thank you for taking the time to find out who we are. We would love to learn more about you, too!
