We are so grateful to have this opportunity!

Hello! We are humbled and thankful that you have chosen to read our profile. Your life, your baby’s life, and your consideration are very important to us. We live in an urban setting near parks, playgrounds, museums, and other fun places to explore. We both come from large blended families that we visit often. Hillary teaches middle and Sunday school, and Jeremy volunteers to provide low-income high school seniors with college access and success. Yearly, we travel to South Africa to serve kids impacted by HIV/AIDS and extreme poverty. Thank you so much for your time. We will be praying for you as you think through what is best for your child. If you decide that adoption is best for your child, we will make sure that your child knows you and that we honor you as a family.

Jeremy by Hillary:

Jeremy is a joy to be around. When Jeremy is not at work, he is volunteering, running, and spending time with friends and family. Jeremy’s heart for people, silliness, service, simplicity, and God is infectious.

I admire so much about Jeremy. He has a servant’s heart. When he speaks, people listen. Jeremy is gifted at speaking truth in a way that others respond positively to. He prioritizes the people he loves. Jeremy is also super silly, and kids love his accessibility and willingness to play with them and love on them. Jeremy is also amazing under pressure and in uncomfortable situations. He is able to roll with the punches without getting angry or flustered.

Christmas

Hillary by Jeremy:

Hillary is someone you just want to be around and have as a friend. Her time outside of work is spent with family, friends, running and volunteering. From a very young age, she put the interests of others first and that carries throughout her relationships today.

There are so many things that I admire about Hillary, but if I had to name a few they would be her faith, her encouragement, her ability to listen and her tremendous gift of working with kids. She inspires me to be better through her ability to make people feel seen and loved. In addition, Hillary has a rare gift, which is her ability to connect with kids across ages. At any age kids feel seen and heard by her.

OUR HOME & COMMUNITY

We live in an urban environment in New York state with access to a variety of scenic parks and themed playgrounds nearby. The climate is moderate; we experience all four seasons, including fall leaves, summer sun, and winter snow. We have called our duplex apartment home since we were married, and enjoy ready access to entertainment, shopping, and diverse neighborhoods. There are several excellent private and public preschools elementary schools, and high schools nearby.

THANK YOU

FOR CONSIDERING US

As parents, we hope to be playful and approachable, yet firm when needed. We will set healthy boundaries for our child to help keep them safe and well adjusted. While we will provide for our child’s needs, we will also work to ensure they have the opportunities to take responsibility and learn to earn things they may want. We will model humility in our home. When we make a mistake we will apologize and take restorative action, and we will teach our child to do the same. Daily routines like brushing teeth and bathing will be made fun. We’ll make space for our child to explore their interests and the world around them. Friends will come over, and we will do all we can to make home our child’s favorite place to be. Thank you for taking the time to learn more about us. We are grateful to be considered as a potential part of the plan you are creating for your child. If selected, we promise to love your child unconditionally and raise them in a home where they know they are loved. We are very willing to have an open adoption. We want our child to have knowledge of where they are from, who they resemble, and who also loves them so much. We commit to sending letters, photos, and updates to you annually after placement until your child is 18 years old. Jeremy and Hillary
