We are Max and Lisa from Missouri

We appreciate your time for reading this letter. Whatever has brought you here to reading this, you have a lot in your life right now. So we specifically want to say thank you for giving us a few moments of your time to communicate. 

We live in a quiet subdivision in a good school district in the Midwest with our toddler. Our life is generally uncomplicated and quiet due to our personalities. Max gets to work from home as a data analyst and Lisa works close by at a production facility as a manager. Both jobs and locations allow for a nice level of flexibility to allow for afternoons at the pool or adjusting to when family needs us. Our neighborhood is great to walk around, safe sidewalks, and interesting destinations (pond, pool, playground). We have a great support of local family, but are also lucky enough to have family spread across the country we love to go visit and who visit us. Many of our friends are starting families at this time, so a lot of built in play dates are seen in our future. We at the heart are quiet people. We would rather have a family or friend get together at home or movie/game night surrounded by our dogs than going out. However, that is balanced by a drive to experience new adventures. We love to travel and learn new things. Locally that means spending time at science museums or cultural fairs or planning family vacations to new places and experiencing what that has to offer us. We would love the opportunity to include your baby in those cozy, small settings as well as the adventures we have when we leave the house. 

We want to provide your baby with love from us, a big sister, and an extended family (both from family and friends). We believe in having a relationship with your baby, as they grow, that is open, honest and, most importantly, supportive. Whatever they want to be or try as they grow older we plan to support, educate and help them through their growth. We would love to provide your baby with a playmate, a friend, and sometimes a foil with our daughter Lily and for her to find that same experience with your baby. At this point for us to grow our family ourselves would mean medical intervention. However with that door closing we are very excited for the adventure of adoption. 

Again, and truly from the bottom of our hearts, thank you for spending the time to read this letter and hear our story.
