Profile
So, here's the detailed profile. There's one picture I was begging Bonny, NOT to put in. Can you guess which one?
Anyhow...
-----------------------------------
The top left is a bit of a tribute to our first nephew, Alexander: Justin holding Alex, Bonny playing the mirror game with Alex, Bonny holding newborn Alex in the hospital and Alex with his mom, aunt, two uncles and friend.
The bottom left are pictures of various friends and family doing various things: croquet, Christmas and renaissance faire.
The center picture is us at Terra Studios. To either side are pictures of Justin and Bonny at Sarah’s wedding reception. Above is a picture of Justin performing Sarah and Daryl’s wedding ceremony.
Top right is a display of our many talents. Bonny’s ability to make beautiful cakes, and Justin’s ability to eat them. Don’t worry, Bonny made the cake for Valentine’s Day. Justin wasn’t ruining anyone’s wedding.
The pictures below that are of us and our dogs, Sugar and Cookie. Justin was busy getting a bit tangled up, but they calmed down for Bonny.
The picture with Sylvester is Bonny and her dad at Six Flags, and the picture below is of us in front of the computer.
Left to Right (Jeremy, Bonny, Justin, Ann and Randall)
This is Justin’s family with us on our wedding day. It was a pretty hectic day. An ice storm meant tuxedos, catering and many of the guests didn’t make it. But those that could make it, had a great time.
Left to Right (Dan, Shelia, Sarah, Bonny, Justin, Thomas and Jonathan)
Up Front (Shannon and Will)
This is Bonny’s family with us on our wedding day. Since then, Sarah and Jonathan have each gotten married and have one child apiece.
Finally, we had a more recent picture taken. It seems one of us is always the one behind the camera, so we had a friend take one of us together.

Dear Birthmother,
Thank you for considering us. We know that this is one of most important and difficult decisions you will ever have to make. We admire your courage and selflessness in making this choice. It takes a special kind of person to put the needs and well-being of another so far ahead of their own. If you place this child with us, we promise we will always love the child with all of our hearts and always place their needs before our own.
We have been married four and a half years, and have talked about having children since before we were married. We have always loved and wanted children. We have attended church all our lives, and currently worship in Fort Worth. We are both actively involved in church. We are involved in teaching bible classes and Justin preaches and leads singing upon occasion. We also attend a weekly class for young married couples.
Bonny comes from a family of eight (three brothers and two sisters). Her parent's love for children is endless and that characteristic has been passed on to their daughter. When Bonny visits our friends who have children, she always seems to spend the most time with the kids. She loves taking the kids to places like the zoo, Six Flags, or the renaissance fair. She takes great joy in her aunt and sister roles. Bonny especially loves babies. Since the birth of our nephew, our trips to her sister’s house have at least doubled. She currently works as a cake decorator. However, when a child is placed with us, she will be a stay-at-home mom.
Justin comes from a family of four (one brother). His parents both wanted more children, but were unable. They have always been involved in church and his father preaches regularly at the congregation he attends. Justin is very close with his brother. They grew up in the country and loved going on “adventures” in the woods or down by the creek.
Justin loves spending time talking and playing with children. People often comment on how kids seem to gravitate toward him. That is because he always takes what they care about or have to say very seriously. Although sometimes; it is because they mistake him for a tree or a jungle gym. Either way, they love spending time with him and he loves spending time with them.
Justin works at Lockheed Martin as a software engineer. He makes a good living, enjoys his work and, if the Lord wills, intends to stay thru retirement. He has worked at Lockheed for just over four years and is expecting another promotion soon. He is currently working on his Master’s degree at SMU and will graduate in December.
The most important thing to consider throughout this process is the welfare of this precious child. We want to be parents, but more importantly, we want children placed with the best parents for them. We know we can be those parents, and we trust in the Lord to send us the right child at the right time.
In Christian Love,
Justin and Bonny Carrell

Wonderful profile. I like it. makes youguys feel real, not somekind of freakish super parents. Real, but also very qualified, and fun. Heck if I was giving up a child for aqdoption, I'd give it to...
...say, do guys want a six year-old, who's spoiled rotten?
Just kidding...
Seriously though, it is a very good profile and I'm sure it'll get the job done. We're Praying for you!
