A Letter from Tim's Parents

To Our Prospective Birth Mother/Parents:

We are excited at the prospect of becoming Grandparents to a wonderful little boy or girl in need of a loving family. We have loved being Tim’s parents and have enjoyed more than anything the two grandsons we have been blessed with from two of our three sons. The thought of having more grandchildren and the fun it will be for these children to have cousins is so exciting, as extended families are a beautiful thing.

Extended families have been a big part of our lives. We have had close relationships to our Grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins. Extended family members have been a huge part of Tim’s life. We had many trips and vacations that we took with Tim’s aunts, uncles and many cousins. The stories we tell about trips to Lake Tahoe and Zion’s National Park still make us laugh because of the fun times we have all had throughout our children’s growing up years.  We hope to add to these experiences as grandparents with our children and grandchildren.

When we think of Tim as a young boy, the biggest qualities that stick out are those of being sensitive and responsible. There are several examples of this; when Tim was just six-years-old, he found out his little brother would not grow teeth the way a normal child would, therefore, he would not lose teeth in order for the tooth fairy to come. Of course, this was the biggest concern of a five-year-old child who is losing his own teeth. So, the next time Timothy lost a tooth, he gave it to us to save for his little brother to use when he it was time for him to need a tooth of his own to put under his pillow. This brought tears to our eyes, we knew then what an amazing big brother Tim would be. He has also been extremely responsible. Again, while at a young age, around seven-years-old, we came home from a “date night” to find Tim making sure his two little brothers were being cared for and playing with them (while the babysitter watched TV). We never worried about Tim, even as he got older, to do the responsible thing with his brothers. He and both of his younger brothers have always been very close.

Even now, Tim’s sensitivity and responsibility is strong. His love for his wife is forever sound. He has been extremely thoughtful of the difficulty they have had in having a child of their own. Not only does Tim talk about the desire for being a father, but more for the concern and love of his wife, knowing how badly she wants to be a mother. His first concern for having a family comes in doing anything he can to make his wife’s dreams of being a mother come true. Of course, that doesn’t discount his own desire for a family. Tim has always wanted a profession in the medical field, but his decision for the exact medical field is completely based on being available for his family. He wants a profession that will allow him to spend as much time as possible with his beautiful wife and their children. All of his efforts in medical school have revolved around having a career that will not only support his family but also give him plenty of time to be a big part of their lives and to be an involved Dad.

As Tim’s parents, we have loved his choice of Chelsey as his forever companion and future mother of our grandchildren. Any child would be truly blessed to be a part of this eternal family. Chelsey and Tim’s personalities are so complimentary to each other; they are truly a unified couple in all that they do. We have never seen anything between them but complete and utter love for each other. There is no question in either of our minds as to the blessing they would be for a birth mother to know their child would be truly cared for by a loving Mother and Father.

For a little over a year now, Tim and Chelsey have been parents to a beautiful little boy, Mason.  It’s amazing how they find the time to do such fun things with him.  Even though Tim’s career keeps him busy, every minute he’s home they seem to be doing something fun together, going to parks, museums, the beach, and anything else they can do with one another.  While Tim is working hard to support his little family, Chelsey is providing the nurturing, loving, and learning experiences that a child needs, reading to him, taking him on walks, visiting the library, having play dates with other children, along with many other activities.  Their love and care for Mason is obvious and truly a joy to watch.  Our favorite times, as we live so far away while Tim is going through his residency, is the time we get to watch him grow and talk to him through Skype.  The times we do get to visit and have him visit us brings us more happiness and love for this sweet little boy than we thought imaginable.  We are excited for him to become a big brother and know he and his Mom and Dad will be blessed to have another child join their family.

To You, our Prospective Birth Mother or Birth Parents, we would be truly honored to be a part of your child’s life. Please be assured that your child would be loved and cared for in every possible way. We would be eternally grateful for the love and courageous spirit you would be showing to give your child what he/she needs to grow up in such a complete and loving family.

Thank you for considering Tim, Chelsey, Mason and our extended families in your search for a loving family for your child.

Love,

Scott and Joy
