Jill Hammer, Close friend

"I have known Tom and Amber for many years. I grew up with Amber as my closest childhood friend. I have always been impressed by her goodness and strong character. Tom and Amber have a very special relationship full of love and laughs. They are incredible parents to their son. As a mother myself, I have learned from their love, patience, and the pure joy they have as parents. I would trust them completely with my own children. As a former social worker with child protection services, I am very familiar with proper placement options and what constitutes a secure, life-long placement. I can honestly say that they are the best candidates I can imagine. They would be an amazing blessing in a child's life. "


Robyn Woodard, Amber's mother

"I recommend this family to anyone looking for a home for their sweet spirit. They are so ready to share their life with a new family member and their values and beliefs are such that their new child will be raised understanding who they are and where they came from. Love these people!"


Denise Moore,  Tom's sister

"Tom and Amber have both been such great examples to me on what it means to be a consistent, loving, and devoted parent. Even before Jacob was born, they were the best Aunt and Uncle to my kids. They envelope little ones with complete love and joy and patience. Their home is a place of gladness and nurturing. They carry that gladness with them everywhere they go. Jacob has been raised in a home that puts God and family first. To spend 5 minutes with this kid is to completely adore him. He loves unconditionally and without boundaries. His parents taught him how to do that. They also taught by example, what it means to have a heart of gratitude. They struggled for years with infertility to be blessed with Jacob, but never wore that heartache on their sleeve. Together they endured this heartbreak and stuck together through thick and thin. Now that they have him that thankfulness shines through their eyes on a daily basis. I know that if you decided to place your baby in their arms, they would be eternally grateful and not have a day go by where that love and gratitude wasn't shown to their little ones."
