Hi! We’re Jason and Amber. We met at a friend’s wedding… ten years before our own. What started as a long-distance friendship eventually became a relationship built on laughter, faith, adventure, and a deep love for doing life together. We’ve now been married for three years and live in Arizona surrounded by close family, lifelong friends, and an incredible community we love dearly.

Family is one of the most important parts of our lives. We love gathering people together in our home — whether that’s for game nights, birthday celebrations, holidays, or simply spending time with the people we love most. We also love traveling, attending sporting events, trying new foods, and finding ways to make everyday life fun together.

Amber works for BraveLove, a nonprofit that supports birth moms and helps change the perception of adoption. Adoption has always been deeply personal to her because she was adopted from Korea as an infant. She is creative, compassionate, outgoing, and loves making people feel welcomed and connected. Jason is a pediatric pharmacist who cares for children every day and is known for being kind, patient, thoughtful, and funny.

Our lives are grounded in faith, family, and community, and we feel incredibly honored to pursue adoption as we grow our family. More than anything, we hope to provide a child with a loving, stable, joy-filled home where they will always know how deeply they are loved, supported, and celebrated.

We are Jenn and Kole and are so honored to be growing our family through adoption soon. While we may not fully understand what you’re experiencing, we want you to know you are in our prayers. If you choose us, your child will always know the love you have for them.

We met on a dating app in 2017, bought a house in 2019, and got married in 2021. When we got married, we never imagined our journey to parenthood would include the challenge of infertility. That season was difficult in many ways—mentally, emotionally, and physically—but it also deepened our faith, strengthened our marriage, and reminded us of the love and support that surrounds us.

Jenn has two younger brothers, and moved around growing up, mostly in the Midwest. Jenn loves hiking, biking, coffee, dogs, cooking, baking, and has recently gotten obsessed with baking sourdough bread. Jenn is goofy, talkative, and creative.

Kole has one older brother. He grew up in a small town in Illinois, and in his 20s left the cold for sunny Arizona. Kole loves sports, pizza, and our dogs. He plays golf, basketball, and recently joined a bowling league. Kole is kind, patient, forgiving, and extremely easy going.

We love our dogs.  Mowgli is 15 years old. Jenn adopted him at 3 months old. Dante is 4 years old. We love to walk our dogs at the park and dream of one day taking our child to the park, and on other adventures, and trips with us.

We want to thank you for taking time to get to know us a little better. We approach adoption with great respect for the courage and love it takes to consider this decision. We are excited for the opportunity to become parents and to provide a child with a loving home.

Hello! We are Micaela and Ross. We married in 2022. Our friendship started a few years earlier when we met at a volunteer event for people in our industry – government. We still work across the street from each other. Our relationship is based on love, trust, and taking time to listen and understand each other. We would love the opportunity to share our love and life with a child, and that hasn’t happened naturally for us.

We can both be on the quiet side, but we light up and chat away when discussing our ideals, projects, or family. We enjoy spending time together watching tv mysteries, going out to eat, chatting, and meeting up with friends. We also appreciate spending time with family and friends here in Arizona Including our 5 nieces and traveling to see Ross’s family in the Pacific Northwest and the East Coast. In total, we are blessed to have a large family: our parents, 2 brothers, 3 sisters, 7 nieces, and 4 nephews.

Micaela enjoys movies, history, reading, hiking, ice cream and shopping/thrifting. Ross thinks Micaela’s determination and focus are a sight to behold when she takes on a project and values her caring and sincere heart.

Ross loves old tools, woodworking, and riding his bike. Micaela is always impressed by Ross’s creativity in the workshop or with home repairs. He always tries to make others feel comfortable and seen.

Thanks for taking the time to read about us. We would welcome the chance to get to know you better, listen and answer any questions you might have about us.
