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.
