Ben & Sherrie

We cannot wait to add children to our family. After years of fertility treatments and struggles, we are thrilled for the opportunity to adopt! We feel that the Lord has led us to this path, just as our birth parents and children are. We believe adoption is a miracle and can’t wait to have one of our own.

We have been married for 7 years and have loved every one of them. We got married right before Ben started college. Our favorite thing to do is to spend time with each other and with family and friends. There is nothing we like more than to play games and talking with those we love. We love visiting with our families, especially during the holidays. We are both the middle children in our families! Ben has three brothers and one sister. Sherrie has two sisters and is wedged right in the middle. We tease each other and say we have serious middle child syndrome!

WHY BEN LOVES SHERRIE:

Sherrie is the love of my life. I was so lucky to find her when I did! She is beautiful on the inside and the outside. Everyone who knows her loves her kind and friendly nature. Before I graduated from college, she worked with people with special needs at their jobs. She was very compassionate with them, and always had their best interests at heart. Sherrie is also very crafty and loves to make cards for special occasions. She is currently in a club with others to learn new techniques and to swap ideas. She has an eye for what goes together well, and enjoys decorating and organizing. She loves to plan parties and fun friend activities. I love to watch her with my nieces and nephews. She truly has a love for children that makes me love her even more. She likes to babysit our friend's children so they can have a break and get things done they need to do.

WHY SHERRIE LOVES BEN:

One of the things I admire most about Ben is his hard work ethic and dedication to whatever he sets his mind to. If there is anything he doesn't know, he learns how to do it. He is multi-talented with so many interests. I cannot wait to see him pass these onto our children and teach them. Not only does Ben play the trumpet and the guitar, he is also teaching himself piano and loves singing. I know that he will make a wonderful father. When he is with the kids he finds no greater joy then seeing the smile on their faces.

Ben loves his family and enjoys the times that he can be with them. He came from a strong family that is faithful in church and in family gatherings such as family nights together, scripture study, and gathering around the table for dinner. He strives to implement these things into our home and family so that we can have a home centered upon Christ and family.

We love our lives right now; we just cannot wait to share our wonderful life with a beautiful child! Ben has a great career as a computer engineer and loves what he does. I am a homemaker, but work a part time job until we have children. When children arrive, Ben will be able to make enough money to provide for us. I will be a stay at home mom. We believe it is very important for a mom to be at home to love and nurture our kids.

We both show great love for each other and for our families. We hope to raise a family on similar teachings that we were brought up on and by doing so we hope to have a strong family unit and bond. We both participate and serve in church. We find no greater joy than going to the Temple together. We pray together daily and have a family night each week. We enjoy going to church functioned activities so that we can meet new people and look forward to making friends.
