Our Lives
We found each other when we were already pretty established, and we were so happy to have found each other. We knew pretty quickly that we wanted to spend the rest of our lives together and felt like we had known each other forever. We went through a lot of change in a short period of time, which helped us learn to communicate well. We feel these qualities have helped us parent well together.
We are both from the Midwest. We are musical and enjoy seeing Broadway shows together. We also love to laugh, spend quality time together, go sightseeing, and be silly together. Now we have the added blessing of taking our son to experience new things. We love taking him out to eat, going to the aquarium, taking him to visit family, visiting the State Fair, and giving him other great experiences. We love our family time, and we love making our son laugh and being silly with him, too. One thing that is very important to us is our Christian faith. We value things like honesty, Integrity, faithfulness, commitment, and forgiveness. This is the foundation of our marriage and family.
Our Family
Anna: I grew up in so many different places. I quickly learned the value of my family – they are the people I can always count on. My parents took my sister, brother, and me to “see the world.” My childhood was filled with a love of culture, travel, and adventure. I visit my niece and nephews often. My family is very close and festive. My dad wears a huge 4th of July hat, and I love to surprise my niece and nephews with matching costumes for Halloween. My family and I have a great time together, regardless of what we are doing.
Jeff: I grew up in Cleveland, Ohio, the second of four kids. My mom’s family moved to America from Italy, and most of my extended family lives in Cleveland now. We are serious Cleveland Browns fans and love to go to the Guardians stadium for games. My childhood was spent at family gatherings eating homemade meatballs, spaghetti, and cavatelli. My dad taught me how to fix things around the house, and I helped take care of my baby sister.
Final Thoughts
We want to sincerely thank you from the bottom of our hearts for taking the time to get to know us and for considering us as potential adoptive parents for your child. We cannot imagine the weight of deciding on adoptive parents for your precious child. We have so much respect for you; we understand this process must be stressful, exhausting, emotional, complicated, and overwhelming for you. Please know that if you choose us to adopt your child and we have the honor of becoming parents again, we will love, cherish, and protect your child wholeheartedly and with great devotion.
With love,
Jeff & Anna
