Dear Birthmother
Dear Expectant Mother,
Family is not always blood. It is the people in your life who want you in theirs, the ones who accept you for who you are, and the ones who would do anything to see you smile and who love you no matter what. This is what we believe makes up a family and what excites us about pursuing adoption. Our family is made up of one of the strongest and loving moms in the world, a life-of-the-party dad, and a 5-year-old energetic son.
We are excited to share our story with you and truly feel honored to be considered as potential adoptive parents. We are an active family that has had an interesting start. Between fighting and beating cancer to living apart as we completed our academic endeavors, we have a greater appreciation for the little things in life and the importance of making each day count. We believe families do not have to match each other. You do not have to look like someone else to love them. We hope you will find our story of interest and look forward to learning more about you.
Our Home
We live in a historic neighborhood in a beautifully restored 3-story home. Our streets are filled with young families and kids everywhere. We have walkable shops, grocery stores and parks that fill the sidewalks with chatter and laughter. The neighbors and community are so warm and welcoming, we have really found our happy place. We live within a mile from a University, so we are lucky to have amenities like an indoor and outdoor pool, zoo, museums, concerts, sports, etc. The school system is among the best rated in the state and is just within two blocks from our house. We would love to fill our home with another kiddo so we can provide a wonderful, supportive life for them.
Our Family
We both have lots of family here in Utah. Jesse’s mom (Mama C), who is a big part of our and Kai’s life, lives within 25 minutes. His aunt and family live just down the street from us, and it’s awesome to have them that close. Chantè’s mom and sister, along with her two kids, live nearby too. Ironically enough, both our dads live in Phoenix, AZ (not sure how that happened). We usually make a trip out there once a year to visit them and enjoy some sun!
In addition to family, we have lots of friends nearby with kids whom we often get together with. Family and community are big for us. We like to make intentional efforts to be present in each other’s lives.
