Hi, we are Seth and Jennifer! Thank you for giving us the opportunity to share our story with you and learn about us as prospective parents.
We met through Seth's sister. Our first date was dinner and the movie The Avengers. Unknown to Jennifer it was also Seth's birthday. It has been fun to celebrate Seth's birthday and our first date each year by going to a Marvel movie.
After dating for eighteen months, we were married in 2014. Our wedding was a very happy occasion for our family and friends. It was one of the best days of our lives, and we have enjoyed continuing to grow together.
We were eager to start a family right away but were unsuccessful. After some time and several medical procedures, we learned that we would not be able to have children of our own. We are grateful for the miracle of adoption and the opportunity it has given us to fulfill our dreams of parenthood.
Adopting our daughter, Olivia, has been the greatest blessing of our lives. We are excited to begin the wonderful journey to give Olivia a sibling and bring another precious child into our family.
We built our home in 2016 with a family in mind. We have a large loft upstairs which is perfect as a playroom and an ideal place to relax and read stories. We can usually be found in our kitchen cooking together, in our living room watching movies, or outside working in our yard or barbequing. We enjoy decorating our home for the holidays as do many of our neighbors.
We live in a great neighborhood. Many children in the area love playing together. We live close to schools, parks, and walking trails. Our community is growing but still has a small town feel.
We are actively involved in our church. We have had the opportunity to serve in a variety of capacities. Working with children and the youth have been our favorite experiences. We have a wonderful support system in our neighborhood, and our church, who are very supportive of adoption.
Our family is very important to us. Our parents love being grandparents and adore their grandchildren. Seth is the youngest of his family and has three older sisters. Jennifer is the oldest of five children.
Some of our siblings live out of state, but we have enjoyed the opportunity to travel to visit them and their children. We love to spend time with our nieces and nephews, and Olivia loves playing with her cousins. Holidays and family reunions are special times that we enjoy being together. Our extended family is diverse with multiple different backgrounds and ethnicities.
Our family is very supportive of us and the miracle of adoption. Our nieces and nephews are excited for another new cousin, friend, and playmate.
We enjoy spending time together taking walks, watching movies, playing games, working on home projects and experiencing new things. We are excited for another child to join us in our hobbies and adventures!
We have an annual family Halloween party with costumes and spooky treats. It is so much fun!
We enjoy spending time on lakes and rivers fishing with grandpa or kayaking/paddle boarding.
We live close to the mountains and enjoy hiking and exploring the many beautiful scenic areas.
We love to tour museums, zoos, aquariums, parks, botanical gardens, and other fun places of interest when traveling or visiting a new city.
We enjoy cooking together as a family. A favorite tradition is to try new dishes while we travel and then recreate them at home.
We know you are making a difficult decision, but we want to thank you for bringing this beautiful child into the world. We consider it an honor and privilege that you might think of us to care for such a precious gift.
Your child would not only have a home but our hearts. Our desire to add to our family is strong, and we have been preparing for this moment for a long time. We will provide a happy and safe home full of love, nurturing, and kindness. Your child will be supported and accepted as we guide them along life's journey.
We want your child's adoption to be a natural part of his or her life. Just as we send Olivia's birth mother and family photos and updates, we would love to do the same for you. Regardless of the level of openness you choose, we will always let your child know what a special person you are. Your love and sacrifice allowed for something we could not achieve on our own.
May you find peace, comfort, and direction in this process. We pray for you and your child's health. And although we have not met, we do have one thing in common, and that is to give this child the best life possible.
