Dear Birth Mother: We are Jean and Steve from California. We are so very grateful to have the opportunity to introduce ourselves to you. We know that the decision you are making is not an easy one, so we do not take the responsibility of raising your child for granted. Even before we were married, we both knew we wanted to have children. Unfortunately, we have not been able to conceive a child on our own, so pursuing adoption felt like the best way to build our family. It would be such an honor to take this journey with you, and we will dedicate our lives to providing a safe, loving, and nurturing home for your child.
The Chronicles of Steve and Jean: We met on an online dating site. It started off with a “wink” from Steve, followed by Jean reciprocating. After several emails and phone calls, we had our first date and, the spark was instant. We went to a Mexican restaurant and quickly discovered that we could talk with each other about anything. We have been married for 5 years, and it has truly been life changing for both of us. Each day is full of laughter and goofiness, and we are both very grateful to have found each other; we truly are blessed.
Shortly after getting married, we decided to start a family. We were unsuccessful in getting pregnant naturally, so we spent the next 3 years going through fertility treatments. However after a few miscarriages, we realized that having a child of our own was not in the cards. Since we both have family and friends who have adopted, pursuing adoption was the natural path for us. We are excited to build our family through adoption and begin this next phase of our lives. We have so much love to give and can’t wait to be parents!
In our Free Time we Enjoy:
- Travelling and sightseeing
- Watching sports (hockey and football)
- Trying new restaurants
- Going to concerts (we love Imagine Dragons)
- Streaming new movies and shows
On weekends we will just hop in the car and drive to a small town and window shop, sometimes stumbling on neat knickknacks to put in our home.
We are avid travelers, and enjoy trying new restaurants, so we would naturally want your child to experience all this with us!
5 Things That Make Us Happy:
Jean – Food, music, comedies, sunshine, and blooming orchids and roses
Steve – Family visits, dinner with friends, a good movie, a really bad “dad” joke, and food
