Dear Birthmom

We’re Jeromy and Michael, a fun-loving couple with a beautiful family we can’t wait to grow. We admire your strength and courage in considering adoption and have deep respect for the love you are showing.

Our adventure together started 12 years ago and has been filled with laughter and joy. We’re lucky to have already adopted our wonderful baby girl, Eleanor, who lights up our lives. We cherish every moment with her and can’t wait to give her a sibling to share adventures with. We live in a vibrant, diverse community with great schools and parks. Our home is cozy and welcoming, with family and friends excited to welcome another child. Kindness, empathy, and family are at our core. We love fostering curiosity, personal growth, and compassion. As a same-sex couple, we know the importance of love and acceptance and are committed to raising our kids in a safe, loving environment.

Thank you for considering us as potential parents. We’d love to get to know you and share more about our lives and hopes for the future.

Gratefully yours,
Jeromy, Michael & Eleanor

Our Story

We met online while living in Chicago and had our first in-person date during a snowstorm. Twelve years later, our love has only grown stronger. After three years together, we moved to Michael’s hometown in Kentucky, bringing us closer to both of our families.

We share a deep love for travel, creating a warm and welcoming home, and making lifelong memories together. Evenings are filled with cooking as a family, with our daughter joining in for singing, dancing, and laughter. Our home is built on love, joy, and an unwavering commitment to each other. As we look to the future, we are excited to grow our family and share our love with another child, creating even more cherished moments together.

 Our Extended Family

We come from large, loving families and feel so fortunate to have deep connections with them. Michael’s family is especially big. His mom’s side includes three uncles and an aunt, and his dad’s side has two uncles. Many of them have children and grandchildren, adding up to over 100 relatives! Every Sunday, we gather at Michael’s parents’ home for family dinners, and we host many celebrations at our house, continuing over 60 years of traditions.

Jeromy’s family is just as close-knit. He grew up in a small village in Illinois, where his mom is one of nine siblings, and his dad and stepmom are both one of four. Jeromy has fond memories of his grandmother, a cherished figure in her church and community. He speaks with his two sisters, mom, stepmom, and aunt almost every day.

Our families can’t wait to welcome another child into this network of love. Your baby will grow up surrounded by care, support, and family traditions that will help them thrive.

 Our Home

We have a two-story traditional home with four bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, and a massive yard to play in. It is very sentimental to us. It was built by Michael’s “MeeMaw,” and she raised Michael’s mother there. Michael was there often as a child, and when we moved back, it became a staple of Jeromy’s life as well. After her tragic passing, we were honored to buy it and renovate it into our dream home. Our neighborhood is incredibly kid friendly with children of all ages. We get together regularly and have events like movie night, ice cream socials, and holiday horse-drawn sleigh rides (going on our 14th year!).

 Our Journey to Adoption

From the start of our relationship, we dreamed of building a family together. That dream became a reality when we adopted our incredible daughter. Being dads has been the most joyful, fulfilling experience of our lives. We have an open adoption with her birth parents and see them about every other month, which has been a beautiful extension of our family. We cherish every moment of parenthood, creating everyday memories filled with love and laughter. Family has always been at the heart of who we are, shaped by the unconditional love we received growing up. Now, we’re excited to grow our family again through adoption and can’t wait to welcome another child into our home, where they will be embraced with love, joy, and unwavering support.
