Mickey and Amy
Hi, we are Mickey and Amy. We share our home with three wonderful and rambunctious cats, Maggie, Sebastian, and Porche. We have lived in our home for over 8 years and really love our community.
Our story begins about 17 years ago. We met at Middle Tennessee State University. We were both working on getting our Bachelors degrees. One night we met at a party and a few weeks later we became the inseparable couple that we are now.
Mickey hales from Savannah, Tennessee. He is the oldest of three boys. Both of his parents were teachers and have lived in Savannah for over 30 years. Mickey is also a teacher. He teaches drama and speech at our local high school. He loves working with kids and has a passion for theatre, acting, and the cinema. He is also a set designer. He has designed several sets for our local theatre company and has directed several plays such as Little Shop of Horrors, Twenty Seven Wagons Full of Cotton, and Ten Little Indians.
Amy’s roots tend to be a little on the southern side. She was born in Huntsville, Alabama and lived just above the state line in a little community called Blanche, Tennessee. She is an only child. Amy’s mom and dad still reside in Blanche. Her mom is a photographer and her dad is a service manager for a propane gas company. Amy is a healthcare analyst and medical billing consultant. She has worked for the same company for nine years. As for her free time, she loves cooking, watching HGTV, shopping, and going to the movies.
For over fourteen years we have been active with our local community theatre. We have acted in several productions and have lent a hand to several other events that have gone on at the theatre. As you can tell we both enjoy the arts. Both of us love going to the movies, listening to different types of music, viewing local art exhibits, and taking in the occasional show at the Tennessee Performing Arts Center.
As you may be able to tell we are an active family. We have no children of our own, but would love to be parents. Seven years ago we began the process of trying to have children. It was a heartbreaking process. We tried several courses of fertility drugs and after several visits to the doctor we came to the conclusion that we were meant for another path. We pondered and prayed over the idea of adoption. The more educated we became; the more we realized we were ready to embark on a journey that would eventually lead us to the door of Miriam’s Promise.
Neither one of us know what it’s like to have an unplanned pregnancy. We can only imagine how hard it must be for you to make the decision you have to make. We both believe that anyone who is able to put their child’s needs ahead of their own is a genuinely selfless person. We want you to know that we respect any decision a woman makes as it concerns her body, but we would also like you to know that we are decent, hardworking, and loving people who so very much want to share our lives with a child. If you choose us as adoptive parents for your child we plan on being very open about the adoption process and want our child to grow up knowing how much their birth mother loved them.

Well, that is us in a nut shell. If you would like to consider us as adoptive parents please contact Anne Byrn Floyd or Lee-Ann Higgins at Miriam’s Promise at 615-292-3500. We would be delighted to hear from you and would love to be considered as adoptive parents for your child.
