Jessica and Wyatt

Dear Birthparents,

Hello, my name is Jessica and with my husband Wyatt we would like to give you a glimpse into our life and family.

Wyatt and I have been married for 6 years and together for 9 years. We met through a mutual friend and instantly hit it off. Wyatt is the man I had always dreamed of marrying. He is an excellent husband, father and provider. I know I can always count on him for anything. He is a very likeable, outgoing person and he makes me laugh everyday. We have a lot of fun together and no matter what it is we are doing my favorite place to be is with him. I respect him immensely and love him with all my heart.

Wyatt has two sons from a previous marriage, Jesse 17 and Jeremiah 15. They are great boys who I love like they are my biological children. They brought and still bring so much joy to our home. They lived with us for quite a few years but decided they wanted to live in the big city with their mom. I miss them every day and we always tell them we want them to move back with us but the big city calls to them. Though they live four hours away, we still see them as much as we can including holidays.

When I was 15, I found out I could not carry a baby. Being a mom has always been a dream of mine, so for quite a while I have known the only way I could become a mother was by way of adoption. Though I am a step mom and love that role, I am excited to be able to experience the other side of motherhood.

I am a dental assistant and have been for 12 years. I really enjoy working with people. There are three dentists in my office and one of them adopted his two daughters, so I have a lot of support. My schedule is very flexible, there are 5 other dental assistants that will help me out and work for me if need be. We are like one big family in my office, we all get along great!

I am excited to share the holiday traditions that my parents shared with my siblings and I and that we kept alive with Jesse and Jeremiah up until they moved. Such as coloring Easter eggs and hiding/finding them, picking out pumpkins at the pumpkin patch and carving them, making Christmas cookies for Santa, and making a big deal about birthdays with a special dinner and cake. Wyatt and I still do these things but we are excited to share them with someone again!

We enjoy family time no matter what we are doing from watching a movie, to playing board games, to going and doing stuff outdoors. All of my family live within 10 miles of us and we see them often. We are all close and they are all excited to welcome a new family member!

We have a lot of love to give and we are so excited to add to our family. Jesse and Jeremiah are excited to have another sibling as well!  We have waited a long time to bring another child into our lives and we know now is the right time. I cannot imagine the love and courage you have to make an adoption plan for your baby and I want to tell you I respect you very much for your decision.

I hope you feel like you have gotten to know us a little better. Thank you for considering us as a family for your child. I wish you the best in your decision and in your future.

Sincerely,
Jessica

Dear Birthparents,

My name is Wyatt and my wife’s name is Jessica. We want to give you a look into our lives.

Here is a little information about me and our family. I am a union journeyman electrician foreman. I have worked at my job for 12 years now and I love it!  Being an electrician presents many challenges and also many great rewards. For several years now I have become the hospital and medical building guy. I have got to install many different new technologies and I get to see and understand a lot of different types of machines. It is a pretty awesome feeling knowing that a new MRI or Cat scan machine will help save peoples lives. My job is also flexible so that I can attend school functions and events. In my spare time I enjoy many outdoor activities like hiking, camping, rock hounding, golf and just hanging out with my family. I also like to spend time indoors by the fireplace, playing the Wii or watching movies.

The past nine years with Jessica in my life have by far been the happiest. I love Jessica so much and I know that she is my soul mate. We laugh together a lot we both enjoy joking around with each other. She is so down to earth and fun. I love to spend time with her it does not matter what we are doing. Since we met our all time favorite place to be is at the coast. We don’t care if it is raining or sunny, we just love to go there. Because of Jessica’s ability to save money we have been able to go on fun vacations to places like Hawaii and Sea world. We also were able to buy our dream house. I know that Jessica will make an excellent mom, she has taken classes and done research on child development and care for years now. She has also been a great mom to the boys, she has helped take care of them since Jesse was 8 and Jeremiah was 6. I have to let you know that Jessica is an awesome cook. I love everything she makes.

Mine and my wife’s parents both live in the same town as does almost all of both sides of our families. My parents love and enjoy the boys very much. I am an only child and so the boys are my parent’s only grandkids and they want nothing more than to be able to have a grand daughter.

Now I will tell you about my awesome kids. Jesse is just like me, especially when I was his age. He is now 17 and is a senior in high school. He enjoys hanging out with friends, listening to music, and he is getting ready to make the big decision of what to major in college. Jeremiah is a very active 15 year old and has more energy than most people. He loves to ride his skateboard ( I taught him every thing he knows ha, ha)  just like I did for most of my life. He enjoys listening to music and updating his Facebook account. A couple of years ago, Jesse decided to move up north to the big city and live with his mom and Jeremiah followed the next year. This has been very hard on Jessica and I because we love them both very, very much and they were such a big part of our lives. We do visit them every chance we get and they come stay at our house on all of their breaks and vacations.

Our entire family on both sides are so ready and excited for us and we have a huge amount of support in our decision to adopt. This has been a very happy and emotional time in our lives. Thank you for taking the time to read this letter and for looking at our book.

Thank you,
Wyatt
