We promise to welcome your baby into our home and our lives with open arms. We will treat them with love, dignity and respect, and raise them with high morals and values. It's important to us to let your baby will know they are adopted, just like our son will. They will know this from a young age and we are so excited that our son will have a brother or sister that he can share this special bond with. Your baby will know that their biological parents loved them enough to give them this life full of opportunities. We hope to have your contact information to provide them if they would like to reach out to you, someday, and you agree. Most importantly, we promise to love them fiercely and provide them a safe, loving home, an awesome big brother, family and friends, a great education and a great life. Derick and April Derick & April Albrecht ADOPTION PROFILE BOOK Dear EXPECTANT Parents, We are so grateful you took the time to consider our family to be the ones to welcome your child into our home. As a family who has been unable to conceive on our own, adoption has become a very special option for us to grow our family. Our son, Jackson, was adopted through the foster care and we want nothing more than for him to become a big brother to another adopted child. Our hope is that they can share that bond of being adopted siblings and be able to relate to one another throughout their lives. We also want you to know that we could never understand the depth of your decision. However, we can appreciate it beyond words and we will raise your child with an immeasurable amount of love and respect in hopes of them having a secure, healthy attachment to everyone in our family. We will ensure your baby knows from the beginning where they come from and how much your love for them led them to our family. HOW WE MET We met in 2012 and immediately fell head over heels for each other. We loved our time together so much that we moved in together almost immediately. Although we tried for children for so long and it never happened, we like to think of it as a blessing, because we were able to spend so much time together and truly became the best of friends. Our favorite thing to do is go on adventures together! We have enjoyed traveling, camping, enjoying the lake on our boat, and spending time with our family and friends! We also love hunting deer in the fall and riding around on our side by side, year round! We adopted our son, Jackson, in 2019, and we are looking forward to him becoming a big brother and sharing that special bond of adoption with them. Derick I am a Carpenter on an Army installation and I am always busy doing something. In my spare time, I enjoy doing anything outdoors. This year, I created a dirt bike track and enjoy riding dirt bike with my friends. I also enjoy all types of hunting, to include squirrels, turkey, coyote, and white tail deer. I spend time year-round preparing the land, deer stands, and equipment for the hunt. I would love nothing more than to include my children in these activities, one day.

I am currently Active Duty in the National Guard and only have a few short years left until I retire from the Army! I have attended several colleges for my general courses and am currently taking classes toward a degree in digital photography. I am passionate about photography and have recently opened a small photography business. I have always been a crafty person and enjoy all types of art, especially crafting, sewing, crocheting and painting! I have been told that I stretch myself thin with my hobbies, because I'm always busy doing something new! I hope to be able to teach your child some of the crafts I've learned over the years.
