Since meeting Isaac and Sara I have been blown away by how genuinely wonderful they are. They have more spunk and spontaneity than anyone else I know. Isaac has the most wonderful sense of humor and never fails to crack me up. He is smart, wacky, and out going. Sara sews the most wonderful creations and is just so darn creative. And on top of how much fun they are, they are also really caring people. In our local church they have worked really closely with our youth and have given up much of their own time to help the kids out. The youth, many of which come from troubled backgrounds, have come to regard them as something similar to surrogate parents. If they can create this type of familial bond with these teenagers, I can only imagine the love, dedication, and sacrifice that they would give to their own family.
Sara and Isaac are AMAZING. Sara was one of the first people I met at our local church that I felt super comfortable with and who laughed at my jokes. :) I was blown away by her beautiful home and the creativity and craftiness she posesses. I know that being a mom is her greatest dream, and I'm so impressed with the incredible way she's dealt with her trials in making it happen. I've never seen her without a smile on her face and a concern for others rather than herself. She's down to earth and attracts adults and children alike as friends. I've also come to know Isaac as we've worked together with the youth at our church. He was the brains and most of the brawn (together with Sara) behind the execution of a huge trip to Utah, which was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the youth we work with. He shows such concern and goes the extra mile to help them in any way he can. I'm also incredibly impressed with the way he treats Sara! I love hearing about the unique getaways he plans and how special he makes Sara feel (since she really deserves it!). I know at least 50 people who would sign their lives away in agreement with all I've said! If you're a birthmother considering Isaac and Sara, look no further! You have found a deeply committed couple that has weathered storms together, has deeply rooted values, a wonderful sense of humor, a million friends, years of experience with children and youth, all the brains you could ever hope for, a beautiful and loving home, a down-to-earth attitude, and the most intense desire to be parents! I could go on, but I'll just have to stop there. I heart the Ericksons.
I met Isaac and Sara through their church service with the youth, and was immediately blown away by them. Rarely do you meet a couple of this caliber. And I'm not just saying that. They are the real deal. They are genuinely good-hearted, fun-loving, break-their-backs-for-you kind of people. I can't even imagine how great they will be as parents. Your child, if placed with them, will enjoy a full and happy life!
Isaac and Sara are the most amazing, funny, good-hearted people you'll ever meet. I met Isaac in a school group that was assigned to design an artificial knee meniscus. We were required to work on this project as a group a couple times a week, which could have been a boring, tedious job. However, Isaac never failed to have the group constantly laughing and I always looked forward to our next group meeting. I met Sara at the trip to the restaurant to celebrate the end of the project. After dinner, I was planning on an hour bus ride to get back home, since I hadn't driven my truck that night. Sara immediately volunteered to drive me all the way home, even though she and Isaac only lived the next block over from the restaurant. Yeah, they are an amazing couple and they'll make great parents.
I have known Isaac & Sara for years. Isaac since Junior High & Sara since High School. In all this time I have only grown in admiration & fondness for these 2 amazing people. Their love & commitment for one another is unparalleled & even more so, they relish in making life fun for each other. Isaac is incredibly smart & dedicated. Sara is amazingly creative & talented. It's obvious that their lives are rich, full & blessed & the only thing that could possibly increase that is the ability to be parents. They would be truly awesome parents.
Sara and Isaac are the kind of people that everyone else aspires to be. Super big hearted, smart, funny, patient, strong, etc, ETC! Just wow. I wish they were MY parents. Except I'm older than them, so that wouldn't really work. But still, they will be AMAZING parents.
I don't know Isaac, but Sara moved in down the street from me when I was about 14. Sara is a couple of years younger than me but we really had good times together. Sara comes from a really great family! I love all of her family, they are witty, kind-hearted, good people. I love being around Sara, she makes me laugh and makes me feel good about myself. She is always so happy, did I mention that? I adore Sara. I am positive she and Isaac will be amazing parents.
It seems I may be the first family member to comment here. I first met Sara while Isaac was on his mission and I was beginning to date his brother. I have seen how much they loved eachother. The first time I noticed it was when Isaac called home from his mission and everyone was waiting to talk to him. Sara had been requested to be there and while 7 children and 2 parents were waiting to talk to him it seemed he was most eager to find out if Sara was in the room and if I remember right she picked up the phone and who knows what they discussed after that. I could see how much they loved eachother then and I admire all that they have accomplished since then. Rarely do you find a couple that is such an amazing team and so completely devoted to eachother.
If I were a birth mom looking to place my child into a safe and loving home, I would choose Sara and Isaac. Sara and Isaac are such wonderful, kind, fun, thoughtful and loving people. Sara and Isaac have an amazing love and enthusiasm for children. In fact, I have willed my own children to them in the event of my death, knowing that Sara and Isaac will care for them and raise them the way I do. Sara is my dear sister and I know that she will be one of the best moms in the world. If you are a birth mom reading this, please know that Sara and Isaac come from wonderful loving and supportive families. Your baby will be loved and treasured by all of us. Sara and Isaac have a very strong marriage, which will ensure a stable, loving and safe environment for your baby. You will never have to worry about the welfare of your child. If I was looking for a family in which to place my child, I would want someone who loves children, is financially able to care for them, provides them with good schooling, teaches them morals and values, will have fun with them, spends lots of time with them by being home, introduces them to the amazing things in this world, travels and take them places. I would want someone who would allow my child the opportunities and love that would help them be the very best person they can be, since I would not be in a position to do so. If I were a birth mom looking to place my baby, I would choose Sara and Isaac, because I know that they will love my child and care for him or her as much as I would and even more. Sara and Isaac will be the best parents you could ever hope for to love and raise your child. __written by Keri (sister to Sara and mother of 3 boys: 8 year old twins and a 4 year old. I know that Sara and Isaac will be wonderful parents)
Being Isaac's favorite little sister... (Also his only little sister) I really can 'attest to his kind and loving older brother demeanor'! I've always looked up to him and he's always been a wonderful example to look at! I loved having him there to be my brother, and playing monopoly late at night on christmas vacation; although I don't think I've won a game of monopoly then or to this day! I remember when he first began dating Sara and how I immediately fell in love with her, probably before Isaac did! I remember how kind she was to me as a little girl in a very awkward stage... She always made me feel so special and important! She bought me a cactus for my 12th birthday... I still walk by cacti at the store and think of her! It was so creative and unexpected! I remember when she took me up to Salt Lake for an Olympic Ceremony that Nsync was playing at... She knew I'd love it, and I did! She's so much fun to be with! I know they'd enrich your child's life in the same ways they've enriched mine, and more. They were great role models, sensitive to my feelings, spent time with me and had fun with me, made me laugh, and most of all made me feel important, special and loved. I love them so much!
Sara and Isaac are the kind of people that mothers hope and pray that their children will turn out to be. Every thing that others have said is true--they are really quite amazing. I think I loved Isaac before Sara did! When he would come to visit her after her surgery, I could see his gentleness and kindness in the way he treated her, qualities that most teenage boys have not developed yet. He would bring her lunch, and then take her for walks in the wheelchair. He even loaded her and the wheelchair in a friend's van so he could take her to the movies. And how many teenage boys would ask a girl to Prom who was on crutches?! Besides his kindness, he is very considerate and patient, qualities that will make him a great father. Sara has all the wonderful qualities mentioned by others, but she also has many wonderful things about her that maybe only her mother sees. One thing is her genuine concern for the well being of me and her father. She loves to think of ways to do sweet things for us, and is very appreciative of anything we do for her. She goes out of her way to tie all the generations of the family together with love, which is a tremendous gift to give to a child. Sara and Isaac will be fantastic parents, and a child placed with them will have 2 sets of grandparents who will love them to pieces!
There are so many things about Sara and Isaac that I could share. I could go on and on about their amazing relationship with each other. I have never seen a couple so in love. They are truly each others best friend. Isaac still looks at Sara with such adoration and love. Sara supports Isaac in everything he does. There is NO better place for a child. These two have so much love to give. I have never met anyone quite like Isaac. He is one of the most amazing guys I know. Yet, also one of the most humble. Sara is talented, educated and so loving. She cares for everyone she comes in contact with. I will never forget the first impression I had of her. I was dating her brother (whom I later married)...and she had a poster that hung in her bathroom. It read "It is nice to be important, but it is more important to be nice." This is how I see Sara has always lived her life. Her and Isaac are important, but they would never brag about their accomplishments, and believe me, there are many! They don't think of themselves as better, or more deserving. But, I think they are important. They are deserving. And in my opinion, they deserve to love a baby just as much as a baby deserves the type of love I know they will give. I love Sara and Isaac so much. They are truly the most amazing couple I know. All you have to do is meet them...and you will know too.
I am so grateful to know Sara and Isaac. They are truly AMAZING! They are such an amazing couple and so willing to give of themselves. I am constantly amazed at all they do for others and the love that they show to those around them. I have been able to see Isaac interact with many youth from inner city Philadelphia and am always amazed to see him connect with them and to see the friendship that he shares with them. And Sara has a special way of making everyone she meets feel loved and like the most important friend to her. She is so talented in so many ways and is constantly inspiring me to be better. I am so grateful for our friendship with Sara and Isaac- they truly are a couple that represents what life and love is all about.
Sara is a magnet for happiness. She is full of happiness and cannot help but spread it to anyone in whom she comes in contact with. I knew Sara in High School where we shared a mutual friend. Sara was happy, friendly, popular and well liked. I cannot think of a baby that would be happier than in her arms or under her care.
(I had to fix a word I spelled wrong - in case you are wondering from the previous deleted post:)
Sara and Isaac are two of the greatest i know! Sara and I were across the street neighbors during our high school, middle school years. We became fast friends one summer and have continued to be friends ever since. It's difficult to put in words how much I admire both Sara and Isaac. As a couple they complement each other so well and are always having lots of fun with each other as well as with friends and family. Sara is very crafty and is always creating ways to make their home inviting and warm. Isaac is super cool and has endless energy. He is always willing to help anyone in need and always does it with a smile. These two are going to make great parents someday.
Since meeting Isaac and Sara I have been blown away by how genuinely wonderful they are. They have more spunk and spontaneity than anyone else I know. Isaac has the most wonderful sense of humor and never fails to crack me up. He is smart, wacky, and out going. Sara sews the most wonderful creations and is just so darn creative.
