RACE OF CHILD INTERESTED IN ADOPTING:
Any
Dear Birthmother,
We would like to start by saying you are already a great mother. Having the insight to worry and consider your baby’s needs and future takes courage. The emotional and physical effort you are putting into the adoption process is not easy, and it is recognized.
We want to thank you for considering us for the gift of parenthood. We can’t imagine how hard this decision must be for you, so we say thank you with all our hearts. If you choose us, watching your baby grow daily while loving them unconditionally will bring us joy and a sense of purpose that we have been waiting for our entire lives.
We will respect whatever adoption plan you choose. The most important thing is for us to be good parents, whatever that takes. We will be honest, nurturing, and good role models. We were raised with the encouragement to be confident and to love ourselves and others. We will raise our child with these values too. We look forward to watching your baby achieve important milestones and helping them chase their dreams.
You will never be forgotten; your selflessness will always be remembered. Thank you for considering us for this most precious gift.
About Us
Hello, we are Adam and Jill. We first met in college but didn’t start dating until shortly after while being reunited at a concert with friends. We have been together for over ten years and have so many great memories together. Jill is an ICU nurse at a trauma hospital, taking care of a variety of patients from every background. Adam is a project geologist for an engineering company. Our relationship is so strong because we both push each other to be the best versions of ourselves. Jill started traveling the world after high school, and her love of learning about other cultures has encouraged Adam to join her in this passion. Adam showed Jill the beauty and fun of the outdoors with backpacking, mountain biking, and skiing, which we partake in whenever we get the chance. We love trying new things and aren’t afraid to take a risk. We even got married on a hot air balloon!
Our Home
We are lucky to live in the beautiful Pacific Northwest (Washington), nestled between nature and a major city so we get the best of both worlds. Our home has a large yard with a park and a lake across the street, in a quiet neighborhood. Residing in our home with us are our two cats, Oreo and Nala. They are seven-year-old siblings who do great with kids, adults, and other animals. We also have neighborhood deer that love to spend time in our yard. We have one of the top-rated school districts in the state and even have a few movies that have been filmed in our small, picturesque town.
Our Extended Family
Jill has two older brothers who are both married with children. Her parents are retired and have since moved to California, where we visit frequently. She is close with her mom’s side of the family, which includes four female cousins, two aunts, and one surviving grandmother. Our family tradition is celebrating our grandmother's birthday that falls on Labor Day weekend. We all meet up at our aunt’s lake house and spend the weekend together water skiing, swimming, and barbequing.
Adam is the oldest son of his parents, who are still happily married and live in the house his dad grew up in. He has one younger brother who now lives in California with his wife. The extended family includes three uncles, two aunts, and multiple cousins we spend time with at family reunions in Canada every few years. One of our favorite family traditions includes going to visit his brother in California for Thanksgiving.
We are fortunate to have so many close friends we consider family who also live in our hometown. Most have families of their own and are very supportive of our adoption journey. Our favorite friend tradition is hosting an Oktoberfest party at our house every year.
What Led Us To Adoption
Due to medical reasons, we cannot have biological children of our own. Since Jill works in healthcare and has experience with the pediatric population, she has seen the importance of adoption. Adoption offers us the chance to raise a child and experience the joys of parenthood. As hopeful parents, we look forward to providing opportunities in a nurturing environment with strong values and an emphasis on education for our future generation. One of our friends has adopted three children from Angel Adoption, and her story has been an inspiration and guidance for us through this journey.
