Dear Birthmother,

When we first got married, we often talked about building a family with biological children and adopted children. We had no idea how God would shape the path that led us to adoption, but we dreamed that it would be in His plan for us. Years later, here we stand, so blessed that you would consider our family.

About Us...

When we first met, we were instant friends! We’ve been married for 10 years and have developed a life full of faith, fun and humor. At the core of our lives is our faith in God and our response to His love. Three years ago, God blessed us with a biological son. In the last couple years we have struggled with secondary infertility, and we have chosen to grow our family through the blessing of adoption.

Meet Jeff

The day Jeff and I jumped out of an airplane, I knew he was the man for me! His adventurous, fun-loving spirit is one of his most endearing qualities. Jeff makes even the most mundane tasks fun with his sense of humor and silly antics.

Jeff is kind and sincere and the most considerate person I know. He’s the kind of friend who will call when you’re sick to see if you need some soup. He’s the kind of husband who thanks me for making dinner and then cleans the kitchen. He’s an amazing daddy! He plays Lego’s, builds train tracks with our son, and makes up songs to entertain us with his funny lyrics.

Although Jeff has a silly side, he’s an incredibly hard worker. Jeff is a very gifted teacher; he has changed so many lives in his career as a personal trainer and as a college instructor. He teaches Bible classes for kids and adults, and he leads our family spiritually.

Meet Jenny

Jenny is probably the coolest person I know. I adore Jenny’s self-less nature. She’s a very active part of our church and finds joy in creating a warm, inviting home. Every season brings out Jenny’s creative side, with decorations and family traditions. She’s an excellent cook, which is great since I had to teach her how to hard boil an egg when we were first married! Jenny is so much fun to be with and loves active family time. She plays ultimate Frisbee and dodge ball, and is always ready to go on a hike or to the beach. Jenny loves to snuggle on the couch and watch a good movie, too. She values quality time together creating special memories.

Jenny has an amazing ability to connect with children. She respects children and cares about their emotional, physical, and spiritual growth. She enjoyed a career as a teacher before becoming a stay-at-home mommy. Jenny works every day to be a Christian example to our son, teaching him that we are all children of God.

Meet Maddox

Maddox is our energetic, unique three-year-old biological son. Maddox can be described with one word: personality! He loves dressing up in capes and playing superheroes. Maddox is gentle and kind and he can’t wait to be a big brother!

Family and Friends

We have an amazing multicultural extended family. All the cousins, aunts, uncles and grandparents just can’t wait to meet a new addition to our family!

Our Home

Our warm three bedroom home in sunny California is always bubbling with activity! We enjoy the green parks and play areas, as well as local classes and activities.

Our neighborhood is full of diverse families; at any given time you will find kids playing in the yards or at nearby parks. The schools in our area are among the best in the state!
