Alex & Jeff

Hello!

Thank you for taking the time to learn about our family. We can only imagine how much is on your heart as you consider what is best for your child. We admire the love, courage, and thought you are putting into this decision, and we hope you feel respected and supported throughout the process, no matter what you ultimately decide.

Jeff, Alex + Ben

Adoption has already been on our hearts &

Our Home is filled with

love…

Our home is filled with love, laughter, faith, and the everyday joys of raising our son, Ben. We would be honored to welcome your child into our family and provide a safe, stable, and encouraging home. Most importantly, your child would always know how deeply loved he or she is.

We would speak about you with honesty, kindness, and respect and make sure your child understands that his or her story began with love. We are open to building a relationship that feels comfortable and healthy for everyone, and we would be grateful for the opportunity to know you and learn what matters most to you.

Our heart for you

Our heart for you is that you feel seen as a whole person, not only as someone considering adoption. We know your life, your relationships, and your hopes are much bigger than your current circumstances. We respect that this is your decision and that you deserve honesty, patience, and support without pressure.

Our greatest hope 

Our greatest hope is that our children always feel secure in our love. We look forward to growing our family, watching Ben become a big brother, and welcoming another child into a home filled with love, stability, faith, and family.

Meet our son, Ben

Ben is two and a half! He is curious, energetic, affectionate, and increasingly independent. He enjoys animals, trips to the zoo, books, playing, exploring new places, and spending time with his parents and grandparents. He has a strong personality and keeps us laughing as he learns new words and discovers how the world works.

We believe Ben will be a loving and enthusiastic big brother. Like any toddler, he will need time and reassurance as he adjusts to sharing attention, but we know he will be excited to teach, play with, and protect a younger sibling.

What we value in life...

Faith

Our faith gives our family direction, hope, and a foundation for how we treat other people. 

Kindness

We believe in treating people the way we would want to be treated. We want our children to be compassionate, honest, and willing to stand up for others and themselves.

Family

We value being present with one another and we want our children to remember that time together matters. 

Our promises to you:

We will love your child fully and unconditionally, in words and in daily actions. We will speak about you and your family with respect, honesty, and gratitude. We will make adoption a natural, age-appropriate conversation from the beginning and will never hide your child’s story.

We will follow through on the openness and communication we agree to, while remaining flexible as relationships and needs change. We will seek adoption-informed support when needed and listen to our child, even when his or her feelings are difficult for us to hear. Most importantly, we will create a family life filled with love, traditions, laughter, and the reassurance that your child always belongs.

We truly hope we get a chance to hear your desires for your child’s life and how we can make those a reality as they grow. We know you love them, and your child will grow up knowing that it was love that brought us all together. We will never make a promise we cannot keep and we want you to know we are people of our word. If we say we will send photos, talk on the phone, or visit; we absolutely will.

Openness:

We will honor the relationship we build with you.

YOUR CHILD’S STORY:

We will always speak about you with respect and honesty.

BELONGING:

Your child will always know they belong.

more about us

Have Questions?

We love being home together with Ben and our dogs, Leo and Olive. Some of our favorite days are the simple ones spent relaxing, playing outside, reading books, or just enjoying time together as a family.

Jeff’s favorite is anything Italian, preferably followed by ice cream for dessert! Alex loves fresh-baked cookies and anything off the grill. Ben is happiest with hot dogs, soup, blueberries, and, of course, ice cream.

Taking Ben somewhere fun like the zoo, a museum, a playground, or another little adventure, then spending time together at home. We love having a mix of getting out and making memories and having plenty of relaxed family time.

Ours are:

Christmas and all the faith, traditions, excitement, and family time that come with it

Saturday evening Mass followed by time together as a family

Baseball, football, and college basketball

Trips to Disney World, Florida, California, and Mexico

Spending time outdoors when we can

Being together with Ben, Leo & Olive

Getting our extended family and friends together whenever possible

How about you?
