ALEXIS
Dear Birthmother,
I want to start by thanking you! Thank you for considering me to be the one to take care of your child! I also want to thank you for taking this time to read my profile and getting to know me. I cannot begin to imagine all of the different emotions you must be feeling, but your selflessness and courage are admirable and remarkable.
My name Is Alexis, and I’m twenty-seven years old. I live in Texas. I come from a military family, and have an older brother. My family is really close and does everything together. Outside of my human family, I also have two furry family members, Stella a loving German Shepherd, and Mazzy, the cutest Golden Retriever. I graduated from The University of Texas with an Undergrad in Kinesiology. Last year, I achieved getting my Masters in Adapted Physical Activity . Ever since I was a little girl, I always knew I wanted to get into a career where I would be helping people. With that always at the forefront of my mind, and also meeting some incredible mentors in school, it catapulted me into a career working with young children with autism. I am now a special education teacher working with Pre-K aged children with autism.
My desire to adopt started as a very young child. For as long as I could remember, I knew I couldn’t have kids and adoption was my route to make my dream of becoming a mom come true. With the loving support of all of my family and friends, this was the right time to start the journey of expanding my family.
About Me
Again, my name is Alexis, and I am a twenty-seven-year-old, single woman from Texas. I am a Pre-K special education teacher and work a lot with young children with Autism. I love kids and helping others, so this job was made for me! I spend most of my time with friends and family, cuddling up to my two fur babies, baking and spending lots of time outside. On the weekends it’s all about sports, going to church and family. If the Dallas Cowboys or the Texas Rangers are on, my family and I are watching. When I get home from work, I unwind by watching some reality TV, going for walks, and If I have time. I like to paint or draw.
If I could describe myself in a few words, it would be, adventurous, loving, kind, ambitious, and passionate. I take the bull by the horns, while at the same time, look at the big picture of things. I’m both an introvert and extrovert. I can talk for days, but also enjoy time by myself. I’m very family oriented, as my family is my everything. My brother, Mom, and Dad are truly my best friends. For as long as I could remember, I always wanted to be a mom, but also always knew that I couldn’t have kids of my own. Adoption was always in my future, and by the grace of God, the time has finally come where I’m financially stable! I have the most incredible family support, and I’m now ready to go down this journey and see where it takes me and my family.
I am the youngest of the family with one older brother My parents met at the early age of 19 and 21 when they first joined the military. They soon got married and had my brother and I. 31 years later they are still happily married We are a close knit family and have a close bond with extended family as well.
My grandma passed away a year ago, and that put life in perspective for me She would have been so overjoyed to watch me go through the adoption process.
My grandpa ended up moving in with my parents, and we tried to do things together as much as possible
My brother is my best friend, and he goes back and forth living in Texas and New York, so whenever he is in Texas, it’s the best.
My dad is my world Whenever I need him, there are no questions asked My mom is also my best friend. She has taught me everything I know, and has been my advocate in every aspect of life My mom is my ride or die since day one, and of course my number one to go get nails done and girl talk with. Watching them become grandparents will be the greatest gift! I know they will be the most nurturing, hands-on grandparents
Fun Time!
Prior to the Pandemic my family, and I traveled a lot. Some of the places we love to visit are Hawaii, New York, and the Bahamas. We even love to do some instate traveling to visit family to go tubing and enjoy the outdoors. Other things I love to do for fun is go to Ranger, Cowboys, and Longhorn games whenever possible Sports are a big thing in my family. I also love to go to concerts with Carrie Underwood and Miranda Lambert being my go-to. Whenever I have a chance, I love to bake. If it is cookies, cakes, or anything in-between, it's always something I love to do Lastly, my absolute favorite thing I have fun doing is just spending quality time with my family, friends, and dogs.
Work
I recently got an amazing job working as a special education teacher. I work with pre-K aged children with autism. This fulfills me so much as I get to have an impact on the child’s growth, and get them ready to be able to move on in the school system. I also get to advocate for children and their families that otherwise they may not have. This job gives me flexibility with becoming a single mom. My school has a free daycare so I can also be close to the baby at all times, and if I need to take off to meet the needs of the baby it won’t be a problem.
I have two fur babies Stella, a German Shepherd and Mazzy,a golden retriever. They are both 2yrs old and are the most loving, loyal, energetic dogs They love to play outside, and jump in the pool even if it's 20 degrees out. At night they love to cuddle and be a part of what the family is doing. Mazzy loves her stuffed animals and Stella loves her squeaky tennis balls Stella and Mazzy are best friends. They are the best at being cute and showing you extra love so they can get all the treats.
Home
I live in a four-bedroom, four bath, 3,889 sqft home, that sits in a quiet, family centered, gated community, where you constantly see kids outside playing. My backyard is where my family and myself spend a lot of our time. My house backs up to a private lake with lots of trees and has a pool. In my neighborhood, there is a nice park and good walking paths. My home is equipped with a good security system and ring cameras, as safety is the number one priority
