A Letter from Paul & Becky

Hello! We are Paul and Becky from Texas. The opportunity to be able to grow our family through adoption is a blessing and is also an exciting time for us. We have dreamed of starting a family since the day we got married, but after years of trying to conceive, we learned that we are unable to conceive a child. Receiving that news helped us to prayerfully decide to grow our family through adoption and soon after we began our adoption journey! We are open to adopting a child of any race or gender and we are very open to communicating through pictures, letters, and visits!

About Us

We have been married for 8 ½ years, and every moment together is a memorable one. We are the perfect example of opposites attract. Paul is outgoing and silly, and Becky is more quiet and reserved. We have fun together doing all sorts of activities. Some of our favorites are staying in and cooking together, playing games, traveling, trying new foods, and spending time with family and friends!

Meet Becky

Becky is a very loving, generous and open individual. She loves spending time with family and friends any chance she can. Becky frequently gives of her time to help others, especially at our church and in her job as a second grade teacher. She is very strong in her faith and is always trying to learn more. She is my go to person to help me with any challenge and always knows what to say or do to make each day even better. At home, Becky loves to cook and bake, to decorate and to read. Her passion for reading is something that I admire. Becky is a very God filled woman who will dedicate herself to helping your child to reach their full potential each and every day.

Meet Paul

Paul is a kind, caring, and outgoing individual. He loves meeting new people and can easily make personal connections with anyone. His outgoing personality makes him a fantastic elementary school teacher. He has a passion for learning, teaching, and being goofy. I can always count on Paul to make me smile when I am feeling down. Paul is also a faith-filled man. He is continually praying and learning more about the Catholic faith. He reads the Bible everyday and works to grow in his relationship with God. In his free time, Paul LOVES watching any sports, but especially Pittsburgh sports teams and the Houston Astros! Paul is so excited to share all of his passions with your child.

Our Faith and Family

The Catholic Faith is a very large part of our lives. We enjoy spending time together at the church volunteering as much as possible. Becky teaches first grade Faith Formation, and Paul teaches fifth grade Faith Formation. The Catholic Faith has helped us to grow as children of God and we know and understand that we will be the first teachers of our child someday and look forward to the opportunity.

Our families are extremely excited to welcome a new member into the family. Becky’s parents are excited to welcome their second grandchild, and Paul’s parents cannot wait to become grandparents for the first time. We love to spend time with our families, and your child will be surrounded by a large support system that will continually provide love, support, and a helping hand.

Our Home in Texas

Our home is a three-bedroom house on a quiet cul-de-sac in Texas. Our community is in a suburban area, with walking trails, playgrounds and a swimming pool. Living near a major city offers museums, parks, sporting events, cultural opportunities, and lots of attractions to provide many unique opportunities for your child. Our town has a great public school system as well as private Catholic schools. We look forward to opening our home to your child and growing memories that will last a lifetime!

Our Promise

Our promise is to devote ourselves to your child so that they may grow to reach their greatest potential. We promise to provide a home that is safe, full of love, laughter, and fun. Your child will be given the best education possible so that they may reach for their goals and be a strong member of today’s world. Most importantly, we will help your child to know and love God so they can recognize Him in all that they do. We would love to be able to talk with you!

More About Our Family
Our Special Interests	We both enjoy spending time outside. In the summer we love spending the days at the pool in our community and going for walks around the lake in the evenings. We love to travel, we especially love to try new restaurants in all of the places that we visit. Some of our favorite food experiences are: lobster rolls in Boston, BBQ and collard greens in Nashville, and vindaloo and bahn mi in Houston. When we are at home, we enjoy taking time to play board and card games, reading books, trying new recipes, and streaming shows on Netflix.
Our Faith	We were both baptized and raised in the Catholic Faith. The Catholic Church is the most important part of our lives. We dedicate our lives to upholding the teachings of Jesus Christ and helping to improve the faith of our students in our Sunday school and adult religion classes. Sundays are set aside for God and family time in our house and this is a choice we plan to continue for the rest of our lives.
Our Musical Interest	Whenever we are working in the house or the yard, cooking, or playing games, we always have music playing. Some of our favorite types of music include christian and country music. We have had the opportunity to go and see many of our favorite performers in concert such as For King and Country, Toby Mac, Matthew West, Kenny Chesney, Jason Aldean, Jake Owen and Brad Paisley. Becky also has experience playing music. She has spent time playing the clarinet, the piano and the violin.
Becky's Family	I am the oldest of three children. Being the oldest had its perks and its challenges, but I would not trade my family for anything! My father is studying to be a permanent deacon in the Catholic Church and my mother is still working but also spends a lot of her time volunteering in her community. I am still very close with my younger sister Emily and younger brother Michael. Although jobs have spread us out, we still find ways to get together for holidays and other times throughout the year. My family is greatly anticipating the arrival of another grandchild and offers prayers for us daily!
Paul's Family	I am the youngest child in my family. My parents are both retired and anxiously awaiting becoming grandparents. My brother Steve is an airman in the US Air Force and is currently awaiting to be commissioned into officer school. I still have a lot of family members in and around my home town and look forward to seeing them all for family reunions and on holidays.

Having lived in the state of Pennsylvania for the majority of our lives, we are excited for the experiences that a new part of the country has to offer! Whether it is a trip to the Gulf of Mexico or a day in one of the many major cities, there is so much to do. Living near other family members who have their own children offers an opportunity for many memories to be made. Exploring the large state of Texas and all of the surrounding states and giving your child the ability to grow up near cousins is what we look forward to sharing with your child.
