Waiting Parents



Steven & Jessica ... waiting in Rhode Island

Dear Expectant Mother,

We thank you from the bottom of our hearts for considering our family. We understand that this is a very difficult decision and we are grateful that you are considering our family to adopt your baby. We will share with your child this courage, strength and love everyday. The child that comes into our lives will know that he or she was placed with us out of deep love and affection.

Steven and I met on my birthday, May 26, 2001. We balance each other and bring what the other needs to the relationship. Steven and I both enjoy boating and entertaining. Our families have strong traditions based around family. In the winter we enjoy going to hockey games or skating on local ponds.

Steven is a building contractor. His job is mostly based in residential new construction. It involves locating and biding for jobs, and the framing of the shell of houses. This includes the walls, roof, installation of windows and doors, and the framing of interior partitions. As the owner of the company he has approximately four men that work for him, which has taught him leadership skills and patients. Steve’s job allows him to have flexible hours which will be beneficial when raising our child.

Jessica has worked as a school teacher for seven years. She always knew that she wanted to work with children. She attended the University of Delaware where she majored in both elementary and special education. In June 2007 Jessica received her Masters degree from Lesley University. She is currently a special education teacher in a special behavioral program. Jessica works with students from 9th to 12th grade who struggle in mainstream classes due to both emotional and behavioral issues. She teaches a variety of subjects and works with the students on social skills, group cooperative skills and coping skills. Being a public school teacher, she has the benefit of having summers off and plans to spend this time with our child.

We cannot express how excited we are about having the opportunity to adopt and raise a baby. We have immersed ourselves in the process and are at peace with the decision to bring an adopted baby into our family. As a couple we have wanted and prayed for a baby for years. We cannot wait to share with a baby everything that makes us unique individuals and a loving couple. Your child will become part of a large community of family and friends and is already excitedly anticipated. We will do everything to give your child a happy, healthy, and safe life. His or her life will be full of educational moments and wonderful life experiences.

Since the beginning of the adoption process we have given thanks to God for the unknown blessings already on their way. We know that the addition of a baby to our family will be an amazing blessing that we will thank God and you for everyday. We can never express how much we will cherish the child placed with us. Please contact us to read our complete profile and learn more about our family. Thank you for considering our family. May the peace of the Lord be with you in the very difficult decision.

Sincerely yours,

Steven and Jessica
