						Dear Birthmom
					
                    
                
            We don't know your circumstances, but we admire the selflessness you are showing through considering helping a family like ours become complete. We can only imagine the strength you are demonstrating and the fears you may have. Rest assured that any child in our care will be raised with all the love and care that we can possibly provide.
We are both hopeful for an opportunity to raise a child in a loving home. Our goal is to give a child everything that they need to be educated, responsible, healthy, brave, and whatever else they may want to be. We would be thrilled to make memories out of traveling to the city to visit family, exciting nights at the skating rink, relaxing walks at the park, swimming, reading, game nights, playing with the dogs, and all of the other facets of our life that we are excited to share.
Thank you for taking the time to learn a little bit about us! We may be strangers now, but through our profile you'll come to get a good feel for who we are and the love we have to share with your baby. No matter who they spend it with, your child will have you to thank for the incredible life they have ahead. As you continue through your pregnancy and the adoption process, we would love to be members of yours and your child's team.

Our Story
            Hi! We’re Chris and Jackson. We met in the summer of 2015—Chris was finishing high school, and Jackson was preparing for his first semester of college. Even with 2.5 hours between us, we spent nearly every weekend together through rain, snow, and everything in between. After Jackson graduated, he proposed in Chris’s hometown at a museum from one of our first dates. Chris said yes! We moved in together a few months later and started planning our wedding. After six years, it felt great to make things official.
Jackson is a Computer Science professor who enjoys reading, swimming, and volunteering on community boards. Chris works for a specialized manufacturer and loves hands-on projects—fixing tractors, doing house renovations, and organizing family events. We enjoy walking downtown, helping our family-friends at the local skating rink, and hosting game nights with friends.

Our Extended Family
            Chris has a great relationship with both of his parents and his brothers. His parents and siblings gather regularly, especially enjoying holidays like Christmas. They love to celebrate with delicious meals and family games. Some of our favorite memories are playing games with Chris's family. All of us have a competitive streak, so there is never a dull moment. On birthdays, the whole family looks forward to spending a meal together at a restaurant and going out for mini-golf, an escape room, or whatever the birthday person enjoys. Although Chris's family lives a few hours away, we always set aside time to visit them a couple of times a month to stay connected and catch up.
Jackson's extended family, including all of his grandparents' children and grandchildren, frequently gathers for holidays and enjoys supporting each other at events such as sports games and choir performances. In the summer, we look forward to spending time at our cousin's pool, or getting a group together to kayak the river. Jackson has two young cousins (2 and 4) that we love to spend time with. We always look forward to hide-and-seek, watching Bluey, and going on adventures with the kids.

Our Home
            We live in a cozy, welcoming town in Missouri within walking distance of parks, restaurants, schools, and a charming downtown area. Our single-story home sits on a quiet, dead-end street, offering peace and privacy. We have personalized our home to reflect our lifestyle and values, including a newly finished basement that's become a favorite spot for playing games and spending quality time with friends and family. Our friends' and family's children especially enjoy this playful and inviting space.
We share our home with two delightful dogs, Rowdy and Winnie. Both are sweet, loyal, and eager to perform tricks for treats. They love playing with their toys, going for walks, and accompanying us to the skating rink. Both are great with children and are always excited to have a new playmate.

Our Journey to Adoption
            Family is incredibly important to both of us, and we have always dreamed of expanding ours. We both cherish fond memories of holidays and family traditions from our childhoods and are eager to create similar meaningful experiences for a child. When we felt ready to welcome a child into our lives, we researched our options and realized that adoption was the best fit for us. After learning more about adoption and seeing the effect that adoptive parents can have for a child, we knew that this was how we wanted to grow our family. We look forward to providing a loving and nurturing environment where a child can thrive, grow, and feel truly at home.
