When we first started the adoption process we had to create a profile book for expectant birth parents to view. We thought we would share our "dear birth parent letter" that is included in our profile book and some pictures of us!
Hello and Welcome,
Words can not express what an awesome gift it would be if we were chosen to be parents for your baby! Your strength and courage are remarkably amazing. You will be helping us achieve a dream we could not reach alone – starting a family.
We are Jen and Jim. We have been married since 2006 and have dated since 2002 when we met at work. Logan is our teenage son through Jim’s previous marriage. He has always been part of our relationship and has only enhanced our desire to expand our family. After 2 miscarriages, one with twins, we knew we were being told adoption was our chosen path. We have other family members who have adopted and are thrilled to again share that experience with our families.
Speaking of family, we both come from large close families and see both of our parents a few times each week. Jim’s parents live the farthest, but only about 15 miles away, while Jen’s parents are only about 7 miles down the road. All of our brothers, sisters, and their families live even closer than that. We spend the holidays seeing extended family and usually take a summer vacation with each one as well.
We live in a suburb of Northern Kentucky not far from Cincinnati, OH where Jim is an Office Manager at a large insurance company and Jen is an Administrative Assistant at the same company. Logan attends the local middle school and looks forward to high school shortly. We enjoy sports especially football, and baseball and go to see several Bengals and Reds games each year. We also enjoy spending time with close friends and their families at our home. Jen especially likes entertaining our guests while Jim secretly believes he is a master chef and claims he can cook anything on a grill for any number of people. Our home is in a brand new subdivision with a community pool and park, and our street is filled with young diverse families each with young children and infants. It is perfect for raising a family.
If chosen we assure you we will love, care, and protect the gift of family you have given us through open adoption. You will always be in our hearts, thoughts, and prayers!
Here are some pictures of us!(more to come)
