Dear Birthmother,
Dear Expectant Mother,
We can’t express what it means to us that you are even reading this. We know life is not easy, and we are incredibly humbled by your decision to create an adoption plan. You are amazing and strong.
We were not able to have children on our own. We adopted our son, Cameron (Cam), in 2022. After a long journey, it was one of the happiest days of our lives. We grew up in big families, and we have always wanted our own. Adoption has been an extraordinary journey, and we would be over the moon to bring another amazing child into our lives. We dream of cuddling up for bedtime stories, cozy campfires with smores, and building sand castles as a family. If you choose us, we promise your baby will be our whole world. We will provide a child everything they need, take them on adventures, and inspire them to dream. Our home is a safe place where your child would feel love, support, and encouragement throughout their life.
Thank you for your consideration and for taking the time to learn about us. We do not know what you are going through, but we care.
With love and admiration,
Jess & Ryan
About Us
Over a decade ago, fate brought us both to the same ski resort. Though we worked in different departments, our shared love for the mountains sparked a connection. For almost a year, we kept saying, "We should go for a hike after work sometime." One day, it finally happened, and in 2018, we married in those very mountains. Jess, who studied digital art and design, now works in marketing and builds websites, thriving in creative projects. When time allows, she loves gardening and taking our dog, Summit, for long woodland walks. Ryan, who works in sales for a construction equipment company, is an outdoor enthusiast. His favorite pastimes are fishing and hiking, always seeking the next adventure.
Our Home
We call a charming small New England town home, though we're close to several larger cities. Our three-bedroom house is nestled in a peaceful cul-de-sac neighborhood, surrounded by great schools and many playful neighborhood kids. It's a close-knit community where even the dogs have playdates, and borrowing something from a neighbor is just a friendly ask away. Our yard boasts a big swing set, plenty of toys, and everything needed to welcome a new baby home.
Our beloved dog, Summit, is a nine-year-old black Lab mix who thrives on adventures. He even joins us for kayaking trips! Summit is wonderful with our son, niece, and nephews, and we know he'll be a loyal friend to our future children.
Our Extended Family
We both come from large, loving families that are incredibly close-knit. We spend holidays and vacations together, celebrating birthdays and other special occasions as one big, happy group. Any child in our family is surrounded by a circle of cousins, grandparents, great-grandparents, and numerous aunts and uncles, all ready to offer their love and support.
Jess's parents live just an hour away on a beautiful lake, where they've enjoyed over 45 years of marriage. Jess has two sisters, two brothers-in-law, and two playful nephews. Our favorite summer days are filled with boating, barbecuing, and splashing off the dock at her parents' home.
Ryan's parents, high school sweethearts, have been married nearly 40 years. They live nearby and both come from large families, so there are plenty of aunts, uncles, and cousins close by, along with three grandparents. We often gather for family dinners and enjoy their backyard pool. Ryan's brother and his wife have two young children, and his sister and her husband are expecting a baby, ensuring there will be plenty of young cousins to play with.
What Led Us To Adoption
Becoming parents has always been our dream. After discovering we couldn't have biological children, our hearts found a new path. In 2022, we adopted our son, and that joyous day forever changed our lives. Adoption is a profound honor, a special bond that brings unparalleled joy. We eagerly await the chance to welcome another child into our lives, to share in celebrations, splash at the water table, and marvel at the aquarium together. Our hearts and home overflow with love, ready to embrace another little one. We cherish our open adoption with our son's birth mother, sharing messages and photos, and celebrating the unique, joyous family we've become.
