Jarred and Samantha
Nickname(s): Jarred and Sam

Dear Birth Mother,

Welcome  to our hearts and home, where love is unconditional, promises are kept, dreams are chased, passions are followed, fun is to be had, and the world is made a better place little step by little step.  Not knowing what caused Samantha to go into premature labor with our son Johnathan, the doctors gave her a ninety-five percent chance of another premature labor.  Now we lovingly look to you so we can share our love with a new life.  Your selflessness is amazing and words just can’t describe what our hearts are feeling for you at his time.

We met during Samantha’s freshman and Jarred’s junior year of college.  Samantha was a little more outgoing than Jarred and got his attention within the first few months of school.  Both of us were involved in sports.  Samantha was the manager of the football team and Jarred pole vaulted for the track team.  We clicked from the beginning.  Samantha says it was just like she always imagined a fairytale would be.  We are fortunate to have our extended families nearby and enjoy seeing everyone on many occasions throughout the year.  We also love staying involved in the lives of our nieces and nephews.

On our wedding day, we had the most amazing friends and family surrounding us.  Not only did they help us set up, they watched Samantha walk down the aisle in 110 degree weather.  Later, Samantha (in her wedding dress) and her bridesmaids jumped into the swimming pool to cool down!

We live on the outskirts of a historic town in a beautiful 5 bedroom, 4 bath home that has a game room downstairs.  We enjoy watching movies downstairs as a family.  We also like to sit on our patio while discussing our day and watching our son play.  In the summer, we often lie on a blanket and watch the stars twinkling in the night sky.  Jarred will often go outside during the day to take photos.  He took a photo this past summer of the bluest blue bird he had ever seen.  After a heavy rainstorm we enjoy seeing the most beautiful rainbows.  In the winter months, we go sledding, dig snow caves, and make snow angels with our son. 

We have a family business, which is an educational facility with several exotic animals from lemurs, to kangaroos, to New Guinea Singing Dogs.  After our son was born we created a nursery at the office.  This gave us the opportunity to continue our careers and spend time with our son.  This is a great blessing, as our children will be raised around family and friends.  This will also give our children a great way to learn responsibility by helping us take care of the animals.  On a daily basis, our children will have a fun, positive experience.  Growing up, they will also have toys and games that challenge them physically and emotionally in a warm, safe atmosphere.  We will encourage them to be creative and work with others.  We will expose them to all types of cultures.  We will teach them how to horseback ride.  We’ll do chores together too.  We will take out the trash and mow the lawn.  We’ll even give the kangaroos baths together.  We’ll support them when they struggle, congratulate them when they do well and direct them when they make mistakes.  We will be devoted to them each day. 

When possible, we love to travel.  Samantha and I have been to Australia to volunteer at a wildlife sanctuary.  We are awaiting our next trip to share this experience with our children.  There is nothing more amazing than waking up at Roo Gully with Western Grey Kangaroos tapping at your window.  As a family, we go to Hawaii for Christmas with Samantha’s family.  There is nothing more relaxing than sitting on the beach, watching fireworks over the ocean.  In the future, we plan on going to Disney World, but we are also waiting to do this until our second child will be old enough to enjoy it as much as the rest of us. 

We are and will always be behind you, so please trust that our commitment to your child will be a lifetime of stability and unconditional love.  We have waited to share our happy home with another child and we are committed to each other and our family.  We hope that one day a courageous birthmother like you will place her trust in us, granting our wish of a second child.

Jarred and Samantha
