James and Johnice’s Letter

Dear Birth Mother,

Thank you for taking this important step and for having the faith and courage to do so. We are excited to share our story with you and thankful that you would consider us for the honor of providing your child with a safe home and loving and nurturing parents.

We are James and Johnice. Our stories began in Virginia and Mississippi. God was preparing an bright-eyed-city-girl and an clever-country-boy to meet in Tennessee. Shortly after graduating from college, we both moved to Tennessee and met each other in 2007. Despite our surface-level differences, our values, desires, and core beliefs were the same. We both wanted kids, and we knew that there was a call to adopt. We have been married for 16 years. We are the best of friends, but that didn’t come without its ups and downs. God has definitely moved in our lives, personally and as a couple. We truly do life together, and it is rare sighting if you see one without the other. We serve in our local church and community together. We enjoy taking road trips and we consider it a privilege to be able to see about our parents any time we like and need to. We love to host a good cookout, and in the fall, we enjoy football games and tailgating. Our days are filled with working out together in our home gym, walking in our neighborhood, and running errands.

We live in a quiet suburban neighborhood in a 5-bedroom brick house with a front porch and a back deck made for relaxing and experiencing peace. We have a large front and back yard ready to be filled with the laughter and happiness of a child playing.

James and Johnice have over a decade of experience in property management and Human Resources, respectively; we now own a management and consulting business. James runs the day-to-day operations, and Johnice oversees the administrative functions. Our careers started in working with at-risk youth as counselors; through the years, helping people have remained at the center of it all. Being self-employed has afforded us the opportunity to more present with each other and our family and friends. It is also the type of presence we always desired to have when raising children. James is a huge Pittsburgh Steeler’s fan and loves perfecting his skills on the grill and smoker. He has an art of bringing people together and making people feel comfortable. Johnice enjoys feeding people with her from-scratch cooking and baking and spending time with family and friends. We love our family and the family we have made in Tennessee. Aside from our parents, we have a host of uncles, aunts, and cousins who are ready to love on this child and be a positive influence.

We can’t wait to meet you! We understand the magnitude of your decision and pray that God will continue to order your steps and give you a peace that passes all human understanding. We will continue to lift you and your baby in prayer.

With our sincerest love,
James & Johnice

“…For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart…” Jeremiah 29:11-13
