Breanna Is Hoping to Adopt!

Breanna

Dear Birthmother, I want to start off by thanking you for taking the time to learn a little about me, and considering me as a prospective adoptive mother. I know this decision is going to be one of the hardest decisions to make. My name is Breanna, I’m a single thirty-one year old gal. I have a big family, with me being the youngest of five, all my siblings are married with at least two children. I have known from a very young age that my greatest desire in life is to be a mom! Unfortunately that opportunity has not happened for me. I absolutely adore children and watching my nieces and nephews grow has only encouraged my desire to be a mother. I would love nothing more than to provide a wonderful life full of love, laughter, and adventure to your sweet baby. I have worked really hard the last few years to be at a place where I can fully take care of a child all on my own. I know you are under a lot of pressure to pick a family for your baby, I just want to reassure you that even though I am single, I have a huge family who are very supportive and excited to welcome another child into the family. I actually view being single as one of my greatest strengths. I have learned how to do lots of things all on my own and I will always be here for the child and help them to learn and grow up to be strong, independent, and healthy.

About Breanna

I am not a huge fan of being cold which is the only downside to living in Cody, Wyoming. So in the winter time I will do a little bit of snowshoeing or sledding but most of the winter I spend inside crafting, watching movies or playing games with my nieces and nephews. I love to take a vacation in the winter months to somewhere warm! Cody provides the best views year round though!

There are mountains close by, lakes to paddle board in, and I’m only about an hour and a half from Yellowstone National Park.

I have never lived in an area that is more beautiful. The people are so friendly here too! I get to interact with most of the community where I work. I work in sales at the local furniture and flooring store, and the environment I get to work in is so wonderful! My coworkers are amazingly supportive and have become like a family to me.

Work I work for a wonderful family owned company. I get to sell furniture and flooring. I love my job! It allows me to feed my creative side. I went to school for a while to be an interior decorator so I love that I’m able to use the knowledge that I gained in school. I love helping people design their space, or to help them figure out a difficult room design. I know it sounds so silly but it is so wonderful to be at a job that allows me two days off, and I am done at a reasonable time of the day

Family is the most important thing to me, so I spend a lot of time with my siblings and their children. I love going and watching all of their sporting events. I constantly take them with me whether it’s just going into town or going on a vacation. I’m a big outdoors fan, hiking, paddle boarding or playing sports. I love being outside all summer long. My favorite sport is tennis and I was lucky enough to be able to coach for a while at the high school I graduated from! Helping the youth grow and develop not only their talent but their confidence too is such a rewarding opportunity to have.

I am an extremely independent person and love figuring out how to accomplish any goal I set my mind to. Being a single gal has made it to where I have to know how to be a jack of all trades. I enjoy knowing that I can fully rely on myself if it comes to changing my tires, hanging home decor or pulling a trailer.

From Family I am writing this to let you know what an amazing mother Breanna Gilbert will be. I am her oldest sister, there are 5 of us and she is the youngest. Breanna has been around my 4 children from the time each of them was born. At 10 years old she became an aunt and would help watch and care for my firstborn, change diapers, help feed him and play with him. Each one of my children has a very special relationship with their Aunt Nana. They love her unconditionally and she loves them the same way. Aside from my 4 children, Breanna has 9 other nieces and nephews and has made certain to have a wonderful relationship with them as well. She loves to spend time doing various activities with her nieces and nephews and understands the commitment and time that children require. Breanna has a huge heart and is always going out of her way to show her love for her family and friends. Family means everything to her and she wants nothing more than to have children of her own. Breanna is an extremely hard worker and will do everything in her power to make certain her children have everything they will need to lead a happy and healthy life. Breanna will make a wonderful mother and give the time and love that any child deserves. I hope that you will consider letting her give all her love to a child in need of a wonderful home.

Thank You, Cara Johnston

Breanna is our 5th child. She is full of love, fun and energy. She is hardworking and very loyal and very protective of her friends and family. She has had a lot of experience with taking care of children as she has babysat all of her nieces and nephews on multiple occasions. Breanna would be a great mother for any child. She has such a great desire to love and to raise a child of her own.

She has a strong religious background and has a lot of family support. She has had the desire to be a mother for several years and has great hopes that she will have a chance to give her love to some fortunate baby.

Carla and Richard Gilbert I am writing to recommend my dear friend, Breanna Gilbert. Breanna is one of the most caring, selfless people I have ever known. She is incredibly smart, driven, and motivated. Throughout our several years of friendship, I have witnessed her consistent efforts to uplift those around her. She is always thinking of others and genuinely seeks the best for those she loves.

Breanna is also a hard-worker and has quickly advanced into multiple management positions within her professional career. She has demonstrated responsibility and self-sufficiency ever since I've known her. I have absolutely no doubts that she will be an amazing mother. She truly embodies what it means to love unconditionally. A child placed within her care would be loved, nurtured, and protected. She has a lot of experience being around children and taking care of them. She is a very engaged aunt and is always looking out for her nieces and nephews. She shows up to their extracurricular activities and always checks in to see how they are doing.

She has taken the time to form very positive relationships with them and offer her support. I cannot recommend Breanna enough to be considered as an adoptive parent!

Sincerely, -Brittany Brigham

I have had the opportunity to know Breanna my whole life and I can verify that she has many qualities that would make her an excellent mother. She is very hardworking and determined to accomplish the tasks at hand. She has had the distinct opportunity to be a part of many of her niece and nephew’s lives, adding my own children into her sphere of love. She shows them great love and care and has always been very present in their lives. She has always been very self reliant but has the total support of family and friends because she has always helped when needed. I know Breanna will be a wonderful and attentive mother.

My Family

I am the youngest of five children, all of whom are married except for myself. My two oldest sisters were married when I was five years old and I have always felt very blessed to have gained two extra big brothers. Growing up my siblings took me everywhere with them! I grew up in such a tight knit family, who always encouraged their littlest sister to join in on the fun, even when it was with their friends who were all a good decade older than me. One time when I was around 3 or 4 my sister Jamie was taking a class in High School that allowed her to bring me in for an hour each day, I loved it! After her class I got to go watch her cheerleading practice. I have the most wonderful parents who have been married for forty-six years. They are the most giving and adoring parents, and grandparents any child could ask for. There has never been a moment when I have asked for help or guidance that they have not jumped to answer or help- in any way they could. I know I am very blessed to have such a uniquely supportive and caring family.

Growing up I always wanted to be a big sister and role model to a little sibling, and when I was ten years old my first nephew was born! I know every parent says having a child changes their lives, but let me tell you when Ethan was born I felt like I had been given the best gift! We did everything together and I was constantly bugging my sister Cara to let me take care of him. Now twenty years later I still do everything I can with him. We love to play board and card games together and nothing brings me more joy than when he’s home from college and I get a text that says “You’re coming out tonight, right?” I quickly gained 12 other nieces and nephews and have a unique and special bond with each and everyone of them. I have discussed with my nieces and nephews my hopes of adoption and it has been so sweet to see their joy and excitement right along with my own. I know if I am lucky enough to get to adopt the bonds that will grow between my adopted child and my nieces and nephews will be just as special as the ones I have with them.

My family loves being together and we try really hard to get together for more than just the holidays. My most favorite get together is on Christmas Eve. My mother goes all out and has her big Christmas celebration on Christmas Eve and she invites all my Aunts, Uncles, and cousins over that live in the same town. There’s about fifty of us who all get together at her house. We always have some form of contest going, whether it’s a lip sync battle, a card tournament or some form of a race. I cherish Christmas Eve so much! We always get to open up one present on Christmas Eve and it’s a tradition I have watched my siblings each continue with their families.To be surrounded by those who love you and hear the house so full of laughter, there is no better feeling.

I grew up on a family farm with LOTS of animals. We always had our own dog and horse and were expected to take care of them along with all the other farm animals. My parents had us working right alongside them learning the family trade and how to support a family. I truly believe that I gained an amazing work ethic from how I was raised. My parents have always encouraged us kids that we could achieve whatever we set our minds to, so long as we were willing to put in the hard work and determination. I have applied this philosophy to every aspect of my life and know I would not be the person I am today without the amazing example my parents have set.

Leasure I do not like to sit still most of the time so I am constantly off doing something. The only time I kind of slow down is during the bad winter months. I am not a huge fan of the cold so I tend to move my projects inside. I do a lot of reading and crafts in the winter time. I am that weird person who always has lists or goals written down and my goal this past year was to read at least one hundred books. I am very proud and excited to say that I crushed that goal. I really cannot wait to be able to read to my own child. In the non snow covered months I will be outside as much as I possibly can. I love to take my dog hiking. Our normal routine every Sunday is to go to church and then head off on a hike somewhere. I really prefer to go down to Ten Sleep and hike either the Salt Lick Trail or Castle Gardens. If I am not hiking then most likely you will find me either on my paddle board or out on a horse ride. My sister Cara and I love taking the horses out on the BLM ground all summer long. I also really love to travel. I have only been out of the country once to Mexico. My niece Hallie is graduating this year and she picked a Mexican cruise as her trip. We went for a week in January, it was so much fun and I cannot wait to explore more of the world. I tend to keep traveling to the states. I am a huge Disney fan and go to Disneyland at least twice a year. My best friend Chelsea lives in Arizona and we love to try and meet up once a year at Disney for a girls weekend. If I am not at Disneyland I love to travel our beautiful country and learn more about different cultures. I loved going to New York and San Francisco! The different types of food I got to try were seriously to die for! I just really enjoy getting to see different states and what they all have to offer. There is nothing better than when you are on vacation talking to locals and going to their favorite spots versus the typical “tourist traps”. I love spending time with my family. So if I am not out adventuring with my dog, then you will find me either watching one of my nephews sports, playing games with them, or just hanging out and watching movies. My nephews and I love the Marvel industry and enjoy sitting and dissecting the latest Marvel films. We are a very loud family too, so our discussions can get pretty intense.

I love spending time with my friends and family, but really try to keep my circle small. I am not one to go hang out at a bar, but love to go out dancing. My friends all know that I do not drink but that I always end up being who they call for a DD. I think we should all live with the philosophy of loving one another and try not to judge another person on their decisions. I have friends from all walks of life because of this. I love getting to talk with my friends about how we all grew up differently, our views now as adults, and how even though we might have different ideals we have still created wonderful friendships and love each other no matter what. I just like being able to help others and my close group of friends have come to me with their issues because they know I am just there to be supportive and help them in whatever capacity that they need from me. My best friend Chelsea and I love to laugh about our friendship because we could not be any more different from one another. I grew up on a farm working hard from the time I was little while she grew up in California going to private schools and Disneyland every weekend. I love the ranch, rodeo, farm life and she thinks I am absolutely crazy. She says she prefers her husband to treat her like a princess. I love her dearly! We talk everyday over Marco Polo. Her husband laughs about how tight our bond is but how we are the polar opposites.

I love sports! I am constantly trying to get others to go play one or else I am watching one of my nephews at their sporting games. My favorite sport is tennis, I used to coach for my local high school when I was living in Idaho. I love having a sport that you can play for your whole life! I really miss getting to coach and still stay in contact with the head coach to see how the season is progressing. I loved getting to see the players develop new and stronger skills.

Cody, Wyoming is a beautiful rural area with a population of about 10,000 people. We have Yellowstone National Park right by us, along with multiple mountains and lakes. I live in a cute little house with a wonderful backyard that overlooks the rodeo grounds. We have a nightly rodeo here from June until September every year! I get to sit out on my porch and enjoy it. We have some fun family friendly parks here. My favorite one has a cute little splash pad for all the kiddos to play in. We also have some fun plays and dance recitals that are put on by the community.

One thing I love about this area is the school districts! Our community is so supportive of our schools and all of the extracurricular activities.

The school district also offers lots of college prep curriculum and lots of students can end up graduating with their associates already completed. We have three town elementary schools which allow for smaller classes and more help/interaction with their teachers. My sister is a third grade teacher and every interaction I have had with her and her coworkers has proved to me how much they all care about their students and want to see them succeed and strive for their best.

I adore animals and think everyone should have them! I have a sweet five year old English Shepherd who is my hiking buddy! Her name is Marvel and she goes everywhere with me. She loves going for car rides, even when it’s just into the store, she just doesn’t want to be left behind. I have a cute little backyard and we spend lots of time in the backyard playing. I also have a sweet long haired cat named Gamora, who totally thinks she is a dog. She constantly steals Marvel’s dog toys. It's hilarious! I also have some horses. Astra is my mini pony that I am training to pull wagons and give rides. I really want to enter into the Fourth of July parade and have her pull the wagon my father has made for me. Astra is adorable, she loves to give hugs and I have her trained to come running over to me with only a whistle.
