Welcome

Hi There!

A book may be an unusual way to meet, but given how much our family loves to read, it seems fitting. We wish we could invite you over, offer a cup of coffee and a brownie, and listen. We’d probably get interrupted by a 5 year old who wants to sword fight or needs to tell a joke (true emergencies for any 5 year old), but we’d want you to get to know the real us. We’d love to know the real you, too. To hear your story, hopes, and dreams – both for your little one and for yourself. We’d love to be an ear and an encouraging voice. Maybe you wouldn’t want to talk and would rather kick back and watch Star Wars with a bowl of popcorn. We’d be game for that, too.

Whatever you’d prefer, here’s what you should know about us: we’re nerds; we love sci-fi and books, but we also love each other, and we dearly want to share this love with any newcomers to our family – including you. We believe in accepting all those in and around our family, no matter where they come from or what they’re going through.

We believe this to be a picture of adoption: where belonging is key and remembering where you come from is part of your journey. Anyone joining our family is immediately loved and deeply wanted. We know you are and always will be an important part of your baby’s life, and if our lives should join together, we’d want to continue that relationship through pictures, letters, and visits if you’d be open to it. We have dreams of showing our children the amazing world they live in and watching the joy in their eyes as they experience it. We’re excited to think you and your child might be part of our memories as we eagerly look forward to making them.

Thank you for taking the time to get to know us. Whatever the future looks like, we pray you would find peace and comfort on your journey. (And brownies. All journeys need brownies.)

Joel and Kelly Jean
