Adam & Jenna

Our Story:
Hello, we are Adam and Jenna! We are so excited and feel truly honored that you are taking the time to get to know us better as prospective parents. With that being said, we cannot begin to imagine what you’re thinking, feeling, or experiencing right now, but please know that you and your baby are in our thoughts and prayers through this process. We cannot thank you enough for allowing us to be apart of your journey, and we hope that by reading this letter you can get to know us better as individuals, as a couple, as parents, and as a family.

Our story began back in college when a mutual friend set us up, and we quickly realized how much we had in common. We love joking around, making each other laugh, enjoy playing sports, are close with our families, and share a lot of the same core values. We also work as a team and balance out each other’s shortcomings. One of the greatest parts of our marriage is that we have seen each other at our best and worst moments and are still committed and in love. Making time for each other, being supportive, and putting in the effort to still go on dates keeps our marriage healthy.

From the beginning of our relationship, we have always talked about having at least two children. We are very blessed to have our son, Aiden. However, getting pregnant a second time has not been easy, and has been filled with many heartbreaking losses. We tried for almost three years to conceive a second child, but have come to the beautiful realization that family is not just about genetics, but rather the love, respect, and support you give one another. Adoption is a true miracle, and our dreams of having another child, and for our son to have a sibling wouldn’t be possible without a birth mom, like you.

Our Home:
Our home has plenty of room for a new addition to our family and we cannot wait to welcome them in! We have three bedrooms, and one is just waiting to be decorated for a special little one. We also have a nice, living room for quiet reading and homework, a finished basement for playtime and movies, and a roomy kitchen where we have family dinners and cook together.

Sitting on top of a hill, our home is surrounded by beautiful mountains. We have a big backyard with a small garden where Aiden loves to help Adam. He gets so excited to see what he has helped grow. Our driveway is perfect for lots of sidewalk chalk art and a basketball hoop.
We love animals and have two dogs, Miley and Bailey. We may be a little biased, but they are the sweetest dogs ever! They do extremely well around children of all ages and are great playmates.

Right across the street from our home, is a playground and community pool. Aiden’s school and the high school where Jenna teaches are less than two miles away. We also have a public library, several churches, a few restaurants, a pharmacy, and a grocery store nearby. It is not that far to drive into larger cities for a fun family outing to the zoo, museum, Science Center, amusement park, or to see a baseball game.

About our son, Aiden:
Our son, Aiden, is an energetic, thoughtful, intelligent, and creative eight-year-old boy. He loves school, playing outside (he’s a magnet to mud puddles), swimming, soccer, pretending he’s a pirate, and building things out of Legos/magnetic blocks. He also enjoys learning about animals, doing science experiments, and his all-time favorite activity is doing art projects.

Aiden would make the best big brother! He loves being around his younger cousins and helping out in any way he can. He prays every night for a brother or sister and was beyond excited when we told him our plans to adopt. He is also well mannered and social, making him a good role model for a sibling.

Although we both work full time, as a teacher Jenna has breaks throughout the year and summers off to spend with the kids. The daycare our son attends is wonderful, but does not accept infants. After taking a leave of absence from work for six months to a year, a baby would attend the same daycare as Aiden, which is a four-star facility. We know and love all the women who work there and they care for each child as they would their own.

Our Families:
We have a wonderful relationship with our siblings, parents, and extended family. Jenna’s parents have been together for 35 years, while Adam’s parents have been together for 40. Both of our parents love being grandparents. They are always showering the grandkids with love, affection, and presents. They are also always planning fun trips to the library, museum, science center, sporting events, movies, bounce house, and playground.

It is never a dull moment when the grandparents are around. You know they’re doing a great job because each grandkid thinks they are the favorite! Our parents are so supportive and excited for us to grow our family through adoption and for them to have another grandchild to lavish love upon.

Together our siblings have blessed us with six nieces and nephews, ages 1 to 7! It’s been so incredible to watch the older ones grow up together, right in front of our eyes. All of the kids get along very well, and we are happy that the youngest will be close in age to an adopted child. They all cannot wait to meet their new cousin!

Thank you:
Thank you for reading our letters and considering our family for your baby. We promise that we will provide your child with unconditional love in a supportive and nurturing home. We will share with them our faith, and instill in them values of compassion, dignity and respect. We will do everything in our power to offer them the best education possible, and give them every opportunity in life. Most importantly, your baby will be told and showed every day that he or she is loved.

As parents, we know that you love your child more than anything in the world, and that means doing anything it takes to provide your child with the best life possible. We plan on telling our child from day one that they were adopted. One reason is that honesty is important to us, and we would never want to try and hide such an important part of their life. We will also tell your child the sacrifice and immense amount of love you have for them for making their adoption plan. You will always be apart of your child’s life and will spoken to and about with the upmost love and respect.

As birthparents, you give the amazing gift of life and a family to your child, and we want to respect that by sharing their life with you as they grow.

Love,
Adam & Jenna
