We are the parents of Ray Adams. We highly recommend Ray and Heidi Adams for adoption of a child. Both are highly respected individuals in the community and in our family. They are responsible, productive adults who have a strong sense of Christian family values. Their priorities have always been to put family first. In the workplace, they have the highest integrity, and have excelled in every position they have had. As leaders in their church, they have given dedicated service for many years, and have been a strong influence for good to the youth. As pet owners, they have responsibly and lovingly cared for their dog, Ruby.
Ray and Heidi have always been a favorite aunt and uncle. They have taught our 10 grandchildren many valuable lessons as they have taken their turn to teach Family Home Evening. They have also been playful and loving with the grandchildren, remembering birthdays, taking interest in important events, and providing support and reinforcement to what their parents want them to do. They are kind, and generous, always willing to step in when needed to provide an extra pair of hands, or provide support and assistance in any way they can to help family and friends.
As parents, we know that Ray and Heidi will teach their child by precept and example. We are confident that they will be loving, responsible parents. Based on our observations with nieces and nephews, it is our opinion that they will be unified and consistent with their parenting.
We feel that Ray and Heidi Adams are an excellent choice for placement of a child in their home. If you would like further information, please feel free to contact us.

Referral Letters
Kimberly Barlow Recommendation
I am grateful for this opportunity to write a referral letter for my dear friends, Ray and Heidi Adams. I have known Ray and Heidi for approximately ten years. During that time I have come to know them as people of great character, honesty and integrity. It is my privilege to share a few thoughts about them with you.
First, I would like to commend you for the loving decision you are making in placing your child for adoption. I am always touched by the unselfishness of birth parents. Truly, adoption is the ultimate expression of love. As you think about the family you would like your precious child to grow up with, I would like to share a few reasons why I know that Ray and Heidi will make wonderful parents.
Ray is one of the most responsible, dependable, committed people I have ever known. He is a man of his word and he lives a life of high moral principles. He is a natural leader and I have personally seen him make a difference in the lives of others. Ray is kind, compassionate, patient and a modern day gentleman. All of those characteristics will make him a wonderful dad. A little girl will be adored, cherished, treasured and probably a little (or a lot) spoiled by Ray. A little boy will be taught respect, a strong work ethic and how to grow up to be a good man. There is not a better role model than Ray.
Heidi is equally impressive. She is probably the most optimistic person I know. She sees the bright side of the darkest day. Heidi lives a life of true happiness because she chooses to look for the good in the world and others. Heidi’s personality is one of kindness, calm and the soft answer. Heidi is also very nurturing and loving, she is a great listener and friend. All of these qualities will make Heidi an amazing mom. I can see her lovingly rocking a newborn in the middle of the night, I can see her running down the street as her child is learning how to ride a bike, I can see her choking back tears as the bus pulls away on the first day of school, I can see her listening intently during an afterschool snack, helping her daughter pick out a prom dress or cheering on her son at a ballgame.
Ray and Heidi are outstanding individuals but I believe what makes them extra special, is the love they have for one another. They have a solid, secure and loving marriage. They are each other’s biggest fans. In a world where divorce is common and many children are growing up in broken homes, any child would be very blessed to be surrounded by parents who truly love, adore and respect each other like Ray and Heidi. They are Christ-like in their words and actions. They have a deep love for God and for each other. They have a beautiful home in a lovely neighborhood, but more importantly, their home is filled with love. They will give their child a wonderful life.
Thank you for taking the time to read this letter. Although I don’t know you, you have my respect for the difficult and loving decision you are making.
May God bless you.

Roni Smith Recommendation
I have known Ray and Heidi Adams for about 9 years - they are neighbors and great friends of mine. Over the years I have witnessed the care and concern they show for one another and seen such strength in their relationship. I know they will be great parents.
I have had the opportunity to work with both of them in the youth group of our church and have seen first hand how well they are able to relate to the youth and how much fun they are to be around.
As a mother of four, I know children need love, compassion, stability, and to be supported both financially and emotionally. There is a great deal of responsibility that comes with raising a family. I have complete confidence in the abilities that Ray and Heidi have and will use to create a stable and nurturing environment for their family.
As so many of us wait and pray for Ray and Heidi’s dreams of a family to come true I am continually inspired by their faith, strength and love of life.
Feel free to contact with any questions you may have - smith.taz@comcast.net.

Amy DeSpain - Recommendation
I'm both pleased an honored to provide a letter of recommendation for Heidi and Ray Adams. I've known the Adams' for nearly ten years and consider them close friends and confidants. Heidi and Ray possess high integrity in all that they do and are warm, caring individuals.
Over the years, I've had the opportunity to work directly with each of them in ecclesiastical activities. They have a sincere desire to serve those in our neighborhood and church group with a special love for the youth. They willingly give of their time and resources to support the kids in this area.
My family has been the recipient of kindness from both Heidi and Ray a number of times. Whether it be supporting our son in a school fundraising event, providing health and fitness advice, creating a video for an 80-year old grandparents birthday, being a listening ear or just showing care and concern about the things going on in our lives. We know we can count on them. I've been touched by the continued special interest they've shown for activities our son is involved with. They are truly good neighbors and friends.
Heidi and Ray possess a gentle and calm demeanor that would make them excellent parents. They work hard to achieve goals, which in turn, motivate and inspire those around them.
Lastly, Heidi and Ray have fun. They can laugh at themselves, joke around when a mood needs to be lightened or dress up for a silly activity or skit. Whatever is required of them, they're always willing to participate.
I feel confident in recommending Heidi and Ray as adoptive parents. Their strong relationship and loving home would be a blessing to any child.

Kerry & Joe Gray - Recommendation
We are privileged to be able to write this letter of recommendation for Ray and Heidi Adams. We have known both Ray and Heidi for nearly ten years. We live in the same neighborhood, attend church together, have served with them in various church assignments and have spent time socially and travelled with them. We have seen them in many aspects of their lives as we have gotten to know them, and in all situations they have always been true to their values, standards, and integrity.
Ray and Heidi are both well educated, hard working, and value the importance of personal responsibility. They also are a lot of fun. They love vacations and travel, sports, games, keeping in great physical shape, and relaxing.
Their home is always clean and orderly and a place where we have always felt welcome and at home when we are there. There is always a feeling of peace and warmth there. Ray and Heidi exemplify values of honesty, respect, service, kindness, responsibility, and integrity. We are confident that these same values would be taught in their home.
We know that Ray and Heidi's children would be given love, encouragement, support, and every opportunity for education, music lessons, sports, or whatever the interest of the child would be. They would be there at every game, concert, piano recital, school function or whatever it might be, cheering them on in full support. They would also be standing by them in difficult times with unconditional love.
If we were in a position of having a daughter or grand-daughter giving a baby up for adoption, we would feel very blessed to have them go to Ray and Heidi. We couldn't think of a better home for them to be fortunate enough to go to.
We highly recommend Ray and Heidi Adams as adoptive parents and know that any child would be very fortunate to come into their home and would be given a life of love and happiness there.
