Heidi and Jason

Hi. Our names are Heidi and Jason. We know the choices in front of you are difficult. If you decide adoption is the best decision for you and your baby, we invite you to read further and get to know us. We hope you’ll see that we will be loving, devoted parents for your child. We also hope the life we long to offer matches the vision you have for your baby.

We met while working together at the hospital where Jason was doing his nursing internship. It was friendship initially that turned into romance. We wanted a small wedding but our parents invited 300 people! It was awesome—everyone we cared about was there for our wedding that took place in Jason’s mom’s yard at her cabin on the lake.

The child we adopt will have lots of adoring grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins as we are very close to our families! Our parents are healthy and happily married. We have two brothers and one sister who are also married. Right now we have three nieces (ages 6, 2, and 1) with another coming soon. We have a brand new nephew (there aren’t any photos of him yet in this book). We have two goddaughters we dote on. Of course, we can’t forget our three loved and spoiled kitties.

We have wanted to be parents for a very long time. We weren’t successful having a child ourselves. We talked about adoption prior to our marriage as Heidi always thought she’d adopt—even as a child she had two baby dolls and she would explain to friends when asked that they were her adopted babies. Adoption isn’t unusual in our families: my stepdad is adopted and so too is one of Heidi’s aunts.

Jason is a very caring, warm, sarcastically funny man who will be a great and much involved dad. He is a family nurse practitioner who loves kids and sees lots of children in his practice. He is fun-loving, witty, and he will do anything to make our nieces laugh. They think he’s a jungle gym the way they crawl all over him when we are visiting. It’s so cute—the girls yell, “Uncle J” to get him to chase and tickle them. He’s a big kid himself in many ways. You’ll see in our book how silly and unexpected he can be—love him for that!

Heidi is the energizer bunny and a woman of many talents. She likes to stay busy by volunteering in our town and she also creates large mosaic pieces, paints murals, sings, and bakes. She is truly a nice person that loves with her whole being. Our child will get exposed to so many cool fun things since Heidi is such a doer and willing to dive into new experiences. We’re lucky to have a home that smells so good all the time with her treats baking in the oven! When I get home from work each day we hug and I say to her, “Hey, love of my life.” We both think we’re the lucky one. We have an abundance of love to share with a child.

We’d like the chance to meet you and get to know you and your dreams for your child. We hope you’ll consider us to be the parents of your baby. Know that we are true to our word—we will strongly protect and love our child. Our child will always know their adoption story and where they came from.

You’re in our thoughts,
