dear expectant mother
Dear Expectant Mother,
First and foremost, thank you. When we think of you, we think of courage, selflessness, and love. We know this is an incredibly difficult decision, and we want you to know how deeply we respect and honor you.
Thank you for taking the time to learn about our family. Adoption has already shaped our lives in the most beautiful way, and it has only strengthened our desire to grow our family again. Our home is filled with laughter, love, and support, and we are excited about the possibility of welcoming another child into it. Your baby would be surrounded by a close-knit family, wonderful friends, and many little ones who are eager to share their love.
Our connection to adoption is deeply personal. Dane was raised in a biological family, while Jillian was raised in an adoptive family and is now also an adoptive mother. Because adoption is woven into the heart of our family, we are committed to ensuring your child always knows how deeply loved, wanted, and valued they are.
Having experienced adoption before, we understand the tremendous trust involved in this decision. If you choose us, we promise to honor that trust every day by providing a life filled with unconditional love, encouragement, and opportunity.
We hope you are surrounded by support and peace during this journey. Whatever you are feeling is valid. Thank you for considering us and for the incredible gift adoption can be.
With gratitude, Dane & Jillian
About Us
Our Home & Neighborhood
Our Family & Friends
Jillian grew up in Mississippi and has an older sister who was adopted from South Korea. Jillian and her sister are the best of friends. Jillian’s parents and extended family are all from Wisconsin, so growing up they traveled to visit relatives frequently. It was always a fun road trip that resulted in many stops to see the United States. Jillian’s family valued traveling, and it is something she has continued to value. Harper has already been to 7 states and done frequent plane rides! Since the immediate family is small, they can’t wait for the second grandchild to spoil.
Dane was born and raised in Louisiana and has a sister and a half-brother. Dane's sister and brother are both married with three kids. Dane is a godfather to two of his nephews. Growing up, Dane’s extended family lived in the same city, so there were many memories with aunts, uncles, and cousins at various functions. To this day, they all still live nearby, and now there are many young nieces, nephews, and cousins. The baby would have many built-in playmates and lots of love from so many close family members!
