Jeff & Steph

Hi! We are Jeff and Steph! Thank you for taking the time to learn more about us. We are so excited to be on this journey and to share our love with a child.

We have been together for a total of 20 years and married for 12 of the 20. We actually met in preschool but didn't reunite until middle. We were friends for years and started dating during our junior year of high school. It has been an amazing journey together!

We have built a great foundation for our marriage with excellent communication and a closeness that is hard to find. We have always wanted a family but like many couples we ran into fertility issues. Although this was tough to deal with, we both truly believe it's God's plan for us to adopt. We are eager and excited to grow our family.

We have a loving and stable relationship and cannot wait to welcome a precious child into our lives through adoption. We promise you that your child will be loved immensely, and provided with many opportunities to learn and grow, so that he or she can live a happy, healthy, and prosperous life.

Our Extended Family

Both of us were raised in tight-knit families around our siblings, grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins. Our families were present for birthdays and holidays. They attended our sporting events and were present at all special events throughout our lives. We continue to gather frequently for dinner, birthdays, holidays,vacations, bonanzas, pool days, cookouts, river days/evenings, movie-nights, and game nights. We were raised with love and cannot wait to pass these special relationships on to the next generation.We both have large families but the larger the better in our opinion! The best part about our family is that we enjoy doing things together and we are very close. We have family vacations each year an those are always a blast! We enjoy spending time with our nephews on Jeff's side and spoiling them with love and attention.

We have three dogs: one basset hound (Lil), one bloodhound (Honey) and a rottweiler (Sampson). We had another bloodhound which was Honey's brother, but he passed away. Our dogs have been raised around our nephews and our friends' children. They love kids and would be accepting and welcoming of our newest family member(s).

From Us to You

Thank you for taking the time to get to know us and thank you for bringing this baby into the world. We have great respect for the choices you are making and we understand how challenging this time must be. Know that we are praying for you and your sweet baby throughout your pregnancy.

More than anything we want you to know that we will love your child unconditionally and will devote our lives to providing him or her with all the love, security and joy we can offer. We want your child to know where he or she came from. You will always be an integral part of his or her life, and we plan to raise our child with an understanding and appreciation for you and the sacrifice you are making for him or her. This child will be loved beyond words by us, by our families, by our friends and he or she will always know the great love you have for him or her as well.

We promise to cherish and love your child with our hearts and to provide a safe, happy home and a life with every opportunity possible. We will teach them to enjoy the simple things in life. They will spend their time experiencing life, rather watching what life should be on TV. They will learn about love, respect, hard work and fun.

Both our family and friends are extremely excited and happy for us to be adopting. They are greatly aware of our desire to become parents and cannot wait to meet this child. We assure you that all the happiness and comforts of life will be provided. We are more excited than words can ever express to complete our family! We wish you all the love and luck as you sort out what is right for you and your baby. Thank you for considering us as adoptive parents.
