RACE OF CHILD INTERESTED IN ADOPTING:

Dear Birthmother,
We admire the steps you’re already taking for your baby and realize the love and compassion it takes. If you pick us, we promise to be there for you each step of the way, within your comfort zone.
If a world of spending time with animals, hiking, camping, horseback riding, and sitting around a campfire resonates with you, we might be the family for you to consider. We hope to raise our future children by involving them in all the activities we love to do together as a couple. We would love to chat with you more about what this lifestyle looks like!
We understand the complexity of this decision for you and want you to know how much we respect you. This won’t be a birthmother and then adoptive parents. This will be a birthmother and adoptive parents together as a team. We promise your baby will be raised in a home where their time will be spent surrounded by a loving family and immersed in nature, and we will try to make every day an adventure. Let’s build this family together because it takes a village!
About Us
Jacob is the quiet, reserved one, but don’t underestimate him. He has some great one-liners! Ashton is the extrovert who can make friends with just about everyone, including at the grocery store. We live on a farm that has been in Ashton’s family for over a century, and nothing makes us happier than being outside or with animals. Our farm is home to cattle, sheep, horses, and a llama. Jacob is a veterinarian and Ashton is the vet clinic hospital manager, so animals are clearly our passion. Outside of work, our bosses are four dogs and one cat. We love hiking, kayaking, trail riding, and camping. A perfect weekend might incorporate all of those things! We love mornings that start slow with sitting outside on the porch while drinking good coffee and like to spend nights sitting around a campfire. We also love the Iowa State Cyclones and have season tickets to all of the football games.
Our Home
Our family farm is located about five minutes outside of a small rural town of approximately 4,000 people. However, we are a short 25-minute drive to a bigger city. Our town consists of a state park that we hike in frequently with a river running through it, two golf courses, an ax-throwing facility, a community theater, and a local coffee shop where we are always greeted by name. We love the small-town feel! We live a half mile down the road from Ashton’s family and 15 minutes away from Jacob’s family. We have four dogs (Jt, Frisco, Todd, and Bess) and one three-legged cat named Waffles.
