Our Family
Mike
and Rhonda, aka Mom and Dad, met in our college years and
have been married for 17 years now. We have been blessed
with two wonderful little boys and are thrilled to be
adopting Sophie and adding a daughter to our family. Mike
is the Chief of Safety and Occupational Health Training
for the U.S. Army and a University Professor. Rhonda is a
Registered Dental Hygienist, but is blessed to be able to
put the career world aside to be a full time Mom. Caring
for our children is our top priority. They grow up so
quickly, we want to enjoy every minute of time with them.
We enjoy traveling, camping, museums, theme parks, and all
the activities the kids like. We stay busy with work,
school and sports.

We
love for our boys to be part of a team. We also put a
strong emphasis on education, and encourage them to always
strive to be hard workers and do their very best. We try
to ensure that they are exposed to positive experiences as
much as possible. We want our children to know how they
are loved by us and more importantly, by their Heavenly
Father. We strive to teach them to love Jesus, their
family and friends. We are so blessed to have the
opportunity to adopt and we are very excited about it. |
