Justin and Selanie are a hopeful adoptive parents waiting to adopt a baby. Thank you for taking the time to read our letter and learn more about us. We believe it is very important for a child to always know that he or she is adopted. The child will always know how special you are and what a great sacrifice you made to allow someone else to parent your child.
If you are pregnant and considering placing your child for adoption, please read our Birth Parent Letter and family profile.
Dear Birth Parents,
We are Justin (age 31) and Selanie (age 26). Thank you for taking the time to read our letter and learn more about us.
We met at a small university in Tennessee. Two days after we met through mutual friends, we went on our first date and have been inseparable ever since. Later we both said we never believed other people who said they “just knew” they were right for each other, but…we just knew.
We have been married for 6 ½ years. When we got married, we were both in school and decided to wait five years before we would try to have children. We thought we would have one or two kids and then adopt one or two. About a year passed without conceiving a child, and we both knew that expensive treatments were not the way we wanted to go. Since we had wanted to adopt anyway, we decided God wanted us to go ahead and begin growing our family through adoption.
We believe it is very important for a child to always know that he or she is adopted. The child will always know how special you are and what a great sacrifice you made to allow someone else to parent your child. We will be more than happy to share pictures and information with you over the years.
Justin is an only child but grew up with his older cousin Mimi like brother and sister. Today their moms (who are sisters) are neighbors and Mimi and her husband Greg live next to Mimi’s parents. Mimi and Greg do not have children so everyone is very excited about bringing a child into the family.
Selanie has a younger sister LuAndra, who is a make-up/special effects artist in Orlando, Florida. They don’t get to see each other all that often but visiting her can be an escape to sunny Florida. She is looking forward to being an aunt! Selanie’s parents (in North Carolina) are also excited to have their first grandchild and plan to move closer to us after they retire.
We hope you can get to know us through the following pages. Thank you for taking the time to learn about us and our family.
