Adoptive Parents

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.

Hi there! We’re Seth and Nicole. Our love story feels meant to be. Though we lived just a mile apart, it took meeting online for our paths to cross. We felt an instant connection and got engaged within a year. We’ve been married for just shy of five years now and we are truly best friends who love doing life together.

Some of our favorite ways to spend time together are having weekly date nights, traveling, doing renovation projects, going to the gym, watching football, and spending time with our pups Luna and Maya.

Nicole is a bubbly, loving, and caring person who makes our house feel like a home. She works as a teacher and she loves her students with her whole heart. She has one brother and 2 nephews from him. She is always up for a weekend getaway, a good book, or a juicy reality show. Seth is a selfless, supportive, and thoughtful person who always looks out for those he cares for. He works as a project manager to develop applications that ensure drinking water is safe. He has three siblings and 2 nieces/nephews from them. He is always up for a trip to the gym, going fishing, or watching whatever sports game is on.

Seth and I, as well as our extended families, are excited to grow our family through adoption. We’ve struggled with infertility for years; however, we believe that journey happened for a reason. We believe the child that is meant to be ours isn’t supposed to be related by biology, but rather by love. We have so much love to give and are ready to provide a safe, nurturing, and joyful home. We’re so excited to add a little one to the family and give all the cousins another playmate!

Hello! We are a family of 3 hoping to soon be a family of 4. Andy is originally from New Zealand and became a US citizen in 2022. Tiffany is from Chicago and still has family in the Chicagoland area. We adopted River at birth in 2017. We also have 2 dogs named Bingo and Bluey whom we adopted in 2021.

Andy and Tiffany are both college graduates and have worked for different companies as well as owned their own businesses. We both volunteer in River’s sports and school, taking every opportunity to participate in his life that we can.

We are a very open-minded and adventurous family. We love to travel and feel some of life’s greatest lessons can be learned from interacting with people from different cultures. Since his birth, River has traveled internationally twice and has been to 20 different states!

We value family time, love, faith, honesty, hard work and keeping our commitments. We strive for balance in our life in all things. We work hard so we can play hard. Sometimes we go out for ice cream right before dinner and ruin our appetite!

We have been very intentional with the decisions we have made in life to get us to where we are now. We can provide a very comfortable life to a child while being loving, caring, fun and consistent.

We have maintained open communication with River’s biological parents through semi-annual photos and updates. We hope to have the same type of relationship with the parents of any more children we adopt. We have learned that those bonds and the knowledge of “where I came from” are vitally important for all humans.

Hello!

We are Marc and Leah. We met in 2016 and connected immediately over trying new foods and our shared faith. We got married in 2018 surrounded by our loving family and friends. Our favorite things to do are to go camping, find a new restaurant and take our dog, Remi, on walks. He is our sweet pup that we got in 2022. We love the traditions we have together including our fall pumpkin carving contest, making tamales at Christmas and spending time in the summer at the beach in Mexico.

Leah is thoughtful, fun-loving and a true nurturer. She works at a Catholic school as a reading specialist. She loves helping struggling students learn to read. She is always trying a new coffee spot or making a new craft projects. Leah has one brother and a nephew from him. We spend time playing pickleball and board games with her family.

Marc is confident, smart and outgoing. He makes everyone laugh. He is a Senior Economic Development Project Manager for a power company. He loves taking our nephew out to explore nature. Marc has three sisters and they are all very close. We spend time with Marc’s family off-roading and playing in the ocean.

We hope to raise a child that can be themselves. We hope to help them dream big and know that we will support them in that journey. We want them to know their story and how loved they are.

We are excited about the possibility to grow our family through adoption. Thank you for taking the time to learn about us and for considering us to be a part of your journey.
