ABC Family Profile

Rick and Tracee

Our Relationship
Our names are Rick and Tracee. We have been happily married for thirteen years. Family has always been an important part of our relationship. We were both raised in loving, encouraging homes that taught us strong values growing up of trust, respect, honesty and patience.  We enjoy many activities together with family and friends and also enjoy our own hobbies. We love to travel with family and with friends and try to plan at least two trips and many fun weekend getaways during the year. We were both very fortunate to grow up in Christian homes full of love and support and we look forward to continuing our family values and traditions with your child and to make new ones with them for them to cherish. Your child will have endless love and opportunities as they grow. From hugs and kisses and bedtime stories, to playing sports, a good education and the chance to travel, but most of all they will know how special they are. We feel that we have been blessed in many ways, with our only regret being that we have not yet become parents.

About Rick (Written by Tracee)
Rick is an amazing man!  He is a hard worker and is great at making family a priority in his life. He will be a great father because he is fun-loving, stable, responsible and he truly enjoys kids. Rick enjoys helping out on the family farm and participates in many outdoor activities – including hunting, fishing and camping. Growing up on the farm was an important part of his life and instilled a strong work ethic as well as his ability to fix anything! He has worked for a large veterinary pharmaceutical company for almost 12 years. Rick really enjoys his job and it’s flexibility.

About Tracee (Written by Rick)
Tracee is a very wonderful person in many ways. She makes everyone she meets feel welcomed and special and is loved by everyone. Tracee is a genuine, honest, considerate and patient person. Her passion for children is amazing and they seem to be drawn to her as well. She truly has the heart of a teacher and will be a phenomenal mother! Tracee has many hobbies that include reading, water skiing, gardening, swimming and hanging out with family and friends.  Tracee is looking forward to being a stay-at-home mom, but she is currently a 6th grade reading teacher.

Our Home
We have a house in a quiet neighborhood filled with kids. We live at the end of a cul-de-sac and we have a huge fenced in backyard just waiting for a swing set and a sandbox. We live close to fun walking trails, the park and the library.  We are fortunate to live across the street from our community center, soccer and baseball fields.

Thanks

In closing, we want you to know that we have a great respect for you because of your concern for your child and your unselfishness in choosing adoption for your baby. We hope that this brief look into our lives has helped you understand a little more about who we are.  We are eager parents who have a solid moral foundation and want to give your child a happy, healthy, and loving home. Our prayers for many years have been to have a child in our lives and we are certain that we will be wonderful parents when given the chance. We firmly believe that open adoption is beneficial for the child and we want you, as the birthmother, to be comfortable with us and the home that we will provide for your child. We would love to meet you to answer any questions that you might have about us. We wish you the very best in making this important decision for your child.
