Jake & Jen
Are Hoping to Adopt a Baby
dear expectant mother
We are extremely grateful that you are considering us and taking the time to read our profile. We know that whatever decision you make, it will not be an easy one, but we want you to know that you will have our complete support no matter what. Should you choose us, your child will be surrounded by love, laughter, and passion for life. They’ll have a childhood filled with exploring and adventures. We look forward to being educators and guides, as we share our love of learning new things and encourage their uniqueness. We will show them that they can achieve anything they set their mind to, and no dream is too big.
As children, we both learned that family can be chosen, and that a parent does not need to share genes to love you fully and completely. We would pass on that unconditional love to your child, no matter what life throws at us. While we can’t know what it is like to be in your shoes, we promise to do our best to help your child understand who they are, where they came from, and that they are truly loved by someone as selfless as you.
Our Lifestyle
We live a pretty quiet life. Most weekends you’ll find us hanging out at home with a good book, a board game, or a movie. Jen loves baking all sorts of things and cross-stitching with her mom. Jake does the cooking and enjoys taking care of the property and chickens. When we’re not at home, we take trips to the beach or the zoo. We’re lucky enough to live somewhere with a lot of great restaurant options, so we like to take advantage of opportunities for a night out of good sushi and a fun movie.
We both work in logistics: Jen at a cold storage facility making sure that various foods make it into grocery stores across the country, and Jake at a trucking company supporting a fleet of drivers to keep them moving.
Our Home & Neighborhood
Our Family & Friends
Our family is pretty small compared to most, but it is filled with a lot of love. Both sets of parents live within a 10 minute drive of us, which means we are able to see each other often. For both of them, we will be the only source of grandchildren, so they are all very excited at the idea of becoming grandparents. Jen’s mom is retired, and she is looking forward to being our full-time daycare while we are at work. We enjoy going on road trips and travelling with Jen’s parents, and getting together with Jake’s family for various holidays. Halloween is always a major event in our family, we go all out with decorations, costumes, and having fun passing out candy to the trick-or-treaters. We’re looking forward to having our future children join in the fun dressed as whoever their current favorite character is.
We have a small network of close-knit friends, some as close as down the road, and some as far away as Australia. We have all been friends for a long time, so we now consider them a part of our family. For our future children, these friends will be their aunts and uncles, who will love and spoil them just like any other family member.
Our Cultural Heritage
We embrace our Celtic heritage: Scottish on Jake’s side, Irish on Jen’s side. Jake has cultural heirlooms passed down from his Scottish ancestors, and we attend events celebrating that heritage whenever we can. We were even able to visit the castle of Jake’s clan in Scotland on our honeymoon!
Because of this, we understand how important it is to pass on a family’s heritage and culture. We are eagerly looking forward to celebrating our future children’s own heritage and sharing ours with them.
