Guy, Beth & Connor

Hi!! We are Guy, Beth, and Connor Merrick from Santa Clarita, CA. First let us say how much we admire your courage for considering open adoption as an option for your baby. Open adoption will allow you to choose a loving family to raise and parent your child. We are so excited about providing a home where your baby can flourish and be loved unconditionally. Thank you for considering us.

A LITTLE ABOUT THE MERRICKS…..

The two of us met eight years ago through mutual friends and right away it was clear that we would spend the rest of our lives together. It didn’t take us long to decide to get married and in the fall of 1997, we celebrated the beginning of this new chapter in our lives. In September of 1998 our son Connor was born. Connor has brought so much joy to us and to the lives of other members of our family. We are sure that our new son or daughter will bring as much joy to our family and can’t wait to experience raising a baby all over again. Since we are unable to have another child of our own, we know that open adoption is the answer to our prayers. We are committed to the idea of open adoption and are eager to build a positive relationship with the birthmother of our adopted child.

ABOUT GUY…

Guy is an amazing husband and father who balances his role in our family with intelligence and humor. His involvement with Connor is remarkable. He frequently volunteers in Connor’s first grade classroom and after school or on the weekend will take Connor dirt bike riding, skiing, or fishing. Outside of our home, Guy works as a transportation captain in the television and motion picture industry. Currently he is working on Fear Factor. What a thrill it is for Connor to visit the set and see those outrageous stunts being performed. We think our new baby will enjoy this and many of their other adventures as well. “Free time” for Guy is spent working on his 1967 Porsche while listening to Dave Matthews, playing hockey, and completing woodworking projects

ABOUT BETH…

Beth is a great wife and Mom. She sings, dances, and acts silly with Connor, but does not overlook the importance of raising good, caring children. She has stayed home with Connor since he was born and is looking forward to doing that with our next child as well. Since Connor has longer school hours in first grade, Beth has decided to volunteer a few days a week at the local food pantry and senior center until our new baby arrives (she still fits in working in Connor’s classroom every week). She is eager, however, to be a STAY AT HOME MOM again in the near future. Taking the baby to Mommy and Me classes, on walks at the park, on trips to the zoo, etc., is what Beth looks forward to the most. Outside of these activities, Beth enjoys gardening, exercising, and decorating our home.

We can’t wait to hear from you and talk about our plans to love, nurture, and raise our second child. Please call us toll-free at 1-800-296-0929 or email us at gbcmerrick@sbcglobal.net. You can also contact a counselor at the Independent Adoption Center at 1-800-877-OPEN (6736) or www.adoptionhelp.org/birthmother.html. We look forward to hearing from you and learning more about you.

All the best,

Guy, Beth & Connor
