Ric and Alison

Thank you for taking time to read and to prayerfully consider allowing us to adopt your child/children! We are in awe and are humbled by the beauty and power of adoption, as this is how God chooses to grow His family (Galatians 4:5-7; Ephesians 1:4-5; Romans 8:15). Even before God brought us together, He had placed adoption on our hearts, and while we first pursued adoption through the fostering process, we believe God is [currently] calling us to grow our family through Christian Homes & Family Services ministry to both the birth mom(s) and the new born/infant adoption process.

As a family, “We will serve the Lord” is our mantra! Therefore, being connected to the local church is a key rhythm and priority of our family, as well as a heart to use the different gifts God has blessed us with for His glory. We ask God for strength and wisdom to know how best to love and to lead others to Christ, and we desire to be a family who takes delight in honoring each other with our words and deeds. Presently, our family consists of the two of us and our golden retriever, Shadow. While we are both, originally, from the north, we have lived in Texas for the past 10+ years and have chosen to make it our home. Again, we are extremely grateful for your decision to choose life, and we anxiously await the day all of our lives are connected through the gift and power of adoption!
