What We Hope to Offer a Child
Children are a blessing and need to be loved just the way they are—every child has their own personality. We will learn their personality and parent accordingly. We both had a different upbringing, and we plan to raise our children using a happy balance of those upbringings. Structure and rules are important and so is unstructured free play! In our home, we strive to show people love, right where they are, no conditions. We want to help people and we will instill that in our children as well. Our hope is to raise children that are confident and independent who respect others and reach out with love.
We believe education and learning are important. Education and learning occur not only in school, but also through travel and getting to know different areas of the country and the cultures that make up our world. There are so many things we can learn from people we surround ourselves with. We feel college should be an option if our children want to pursue higher education and funding will be set up for each child prior to their first birthday. We also want our children to be able to start a business or be a missionary…or whatever they feel called to do. We will also have the means in place to help with these life routes as well.
An ENVIRONMENT where our children always feel safe and loved for who they are.
It has been a desire of Kannan’s heart to be an adoptive parent since she was young. We want to grow our family and show as much LOVE as we can to our children.
An ATMOSPHERE that encourages a confident child and independent thinking.
We do not feel blood lines define a family and welcoming a child into our home is a privilege. We strongly believe that every child deserves to feel safe in their home and receive unconditional love.
We will have a family day each year where we talk about how each one of our children came to join our family. We will talk about each of them individually and how we felt when we found out they were being born and the plans we made for our future together. We will encourage our children to each be unique individuals and we will celebrate how each of them is a distinctive and special part of our
family.
