James and Jennifer
Nickname(s): James and Jenny

Dear Birthmother,

James and I are high school sweethearts who have been married since 2006 and are excited to start our family. James is a career military captain who has flown troops, supplies, and humanitarian aid packages all over the world.  I am a homemaker applying to medical school and I hope to go into practice as a Family Medicine physician.

In our spare time, we enjoy backpacking and running. We love the outdoors and have run many marathons and half-marathons for charity with our friends and family. James is an Eagle Scout and loves all things history. I practice yoga and love to scrapbook, sew, and make jewelry. During the warmer months of the year, we often invite friends over and cook outside on the grill. We went to the same college and still love going to football games in the fall when we can. We have a chocolate lab named Piper who loves to swim, chase tennis balls, and go hiking with us

Even before we were married, James and I always had a very specific vision of what our life together would be like. Having grown up together from adolescence to adulthood, we are each others’ best friend and soul mate. We knew long ago we wanted to be a family, one with several children and a dog or two to keep things interesting. We have a wonderful marriage, a lovely home, and a very happy chocolate lab. The only thing missing is the blessing of a beautiful little baby.

Last Christmas I was diagnosed with premature ovarian failure and told I would never be able to have children of my own. And while it was devastating news to hear, it didn’t change what we want for our family. If you choose us as parents, your baby will be as precious and as treasured as if he or she were born to us. All we want and have prayed for is a baby to love and to welcome into our family. By giving us this beautiful little gift, you will be the answer to our many prayers and you will help us make our family complete.

Although these are uncertain economic times, we have already begun to plan for our baby’s future. Last year we opened a college savings fund for our future child so he or she will be able to afford an excellent education after high school. Our friends and family are very excited we are adopting and cannot wait for us to bring our little one home. Our baby will be baptized into the Episcopal faith and will be raised with strong Christian values, knowing both God’s love and ours.

What we look forward to the most about being parents is creating new family traditions with our children as they grow. Going to the midnight service at church on Christmas Eve and coming home to open just one present before going to bed, going camping every Fourth of July and roasting hot dogs and marshmallows under the stars. Holding hands with friends and family to say the blessing for Thanksgiving dinner and listing one thing we are thankful for that year. How wonderful it will be when our children are grown and they can look back at their childhoods knowing that they were deeply loved.

Our faith has always been a strong guiding force for James and me. The strength of our marriage is deeply rooted in the strength of our faith. While dealing with my infertility, James and I have found comfort in knowing that God is with us and never presents us with obstacles we cannot overcome together. It was not part of His plan for us to have children of our own, but it is part of His plan to bring us to you. Our hearts are open to you and we hope that you can open yours to us.

With warmest regards,
Jenny and James
