– Jean & Eddy
More About Our Family: We are fun, thoughtful, and passionate about life. We have a deep and loving relationship based on trust, respect, and affection for one another. We are unique individuals with our own thoughts and beliefs; however, we bring the best out in each other when we are together.
We met at work in 2005. Jean was living in London and Eddy was living in California. We had to work on many projects remotely together and spent a lot of time talking on the phone. During our long calls we really got to know each other and developed a strong friendship. In 2006 Jean transferred to California. Eddy wasted no time and asked Jean out once she was settled in. We have been inseparable ever since!
In 2015 we welcomed our son, Donovan James, into our lives through open adoption. He has brought us amazing amounts of joy and happiness. Donovan is a caring and happy little boy who is very active and social. He enjoys exploring the outdoors, singing songs, and playing with his friends. He is a very thoughtful and kind little boy who will be an excellent big brother!

What We Do for Fun: We have a ton of hobbies, but our top three are playing music, playing sports and traveling. We love doing things together as a family!
Music is a big part of our lives. Jean plays piano, ukulele, and flute. Eddy plays the drums. There is always music being played in our home and even Donovan joins in the fun. He is learning how to play the violin and piano. He is a natural musician! If one of us isn’t playing a song then the radio is on and one of us is singing. We love music!
One of our greatest passions is to travel. We have had the fortunate pleasure of being able to travel to some beautiful places. Jean has traveled extensively throughout Europe while Eddy has spent a lot of time in Australia and Lebanon. Together we have visited Zimbabwe, South Africa, Hawaii, Canada, New Zealand, Mexico and many other destinations. Donovan has already been to New York, Atlanta, Arizona, Florida and Washington DC.
