Lance and Courtney’s Letter

Dear Birth Mother,

Thank you. Thank you for putting your child first and choosing life. We know first hand that all children are gifts from God no matter if it’s through adoption or biologically. Please know how loved and appreciated you are. Even though we don’t know you, we pray for you and your child every day. Thank you for taking the time to read about us. We are so excited to adopt another child into our family.

We are Lance and Courtney. We have been married since 2016. We have lived in North Texas most of our lives and love it here. Lance owns a local automotive business. He pours into his team and is a hands-on leader.  But he also is able to make his own schedule and spend quality time at home. Courtney is a stay-at-home mom with our daughter Aleah. We are both volunteers at our church and local food pantry.

We met in 2013 and hit it off right away. We built our relationship on first becoming best friends. Through that and our mutual love for all things outdoors, pets, and sports we fell in love and got married in 2016. We knew immediately that our marriage needed to be founded in God. We got rebaptized together and joined our church on our first anniversary. Since then, we have both grown in our faith and love for God and each other. As in any marriage, we discussed having children early on. Adoption was always a part of that talk. Courtney was adopted and also placed a child for adoption many years ago. It is a part of our lives. We knew that God had a plan for our family. In 2022 we adopted our daughter. She is ready to be a big sister!

We try to live a simple life. God and family always come first. We try to be intentional in all we do and thankful for all God has given us. We live on a couple of acres on a quiet county road. To us it’s the perfect spot. We are close enough to enjoy what the cities have to offer. But far enough away to tune it all out and focus on what matters. There’s lots of room to run and play. Recently we have started a family veggie farm. We have great neighbors with lots of room in between. We love finding and creating things to all do together while enjoying the quiet and beautiful outdoors.

Quality time is so important and we cannot wait to have another child to share it with. We love taking road trips, playing outside, learning about farming, having family dance parties, swimming, cooking, and playing with our dogs and goats. We both have family that live close by and we enjoy time visiting them. They are all excited to welcome a new member to the family. A lot of our time is also spent with our church family. They are some of our best friends. We are involved in bible studies, ministries, and community service projects. Our church also has a wonderful children’s ministry that surrounds every child with love and support through the knowledge of God. Aleah loves going to church to see her friends. Lance is also a deacon.

We believe that God must be the foundation of our lives. We work each day to draw closer to Him. The more we lean into God’s word, the more he fills us. And the more he fills us, the more we have to pour into others. His love and guidance will lead us as we raise this child in His ways. Everything we do, we always try to do in love. That is what God teaches us to do. We have so much love to give. We pray every day for God to bless us with a child to raise and to watch over you.

With Love,
Lance & Courtney
