About Us:

Family is the most important thing to us.  We are very close to our families and get together very often.  We fell in love 18 years ago while attending college and have been next to each other ever since.  We got married 11 years ago in St. Louis and plan to stay here and continue to plant roots here. Our children are our world and we love to watch them grow and learn.  We love helping them try new things and figure out who they are.

Jeremy is a school administrator who specializes in diversity, equity, and inclusion.  He loves children and schools and he works to make sure everyone gets what they need to succeed. He has three siblings, 7 nieces and nephews and a grandniece that live in St. Louis and are all very close.  We regularly gather for holidays and birthdays, playing board games, card games, and sports.

Rachel currently runs a daycare in our home.  She loves to work with children so they feel empowered and seen for who they are. She loves to watch them grow and find pride in themselves. She also has a strong passion for volunteering and helping people in the community. Rachel has one brother and is very close to her nieces. They regularly get together for holidays.

We both have a love of laughter; enjoy listening to comedians and watching comedies.  We love trying new food, going to cultural festivals, hiking, and watching our boys play sports. We enjoy living in St. Louis very much and have no plans to leave, our families are all close and we love exploring our city. Jeremy and Rachel are very close to their parents who each live within 20 minutes.  Rachel’s mother assists her in running the daycare and loves making clothes and special blankets for all her grandkids.

Our message to you:

Thank you for considering us and learning more about our family.  We cannot begin to understand all the emotions that you are having but we can promise you that we devote ourselves to being the best parents we can be.  We also think that when you see the right family, you will feel that connection in your soul and we truly hope that connection is felt with us. We hope you can see the love we have for each other and our families. Our plan to grow our family has always consisted of having biological and adopted children. We have two biological children Harris (8) and Sullivan (2).  In between the boys we lost two babies who were born prematurely, Della and James.  After Sully was born, we felt God was preparing us to move towards growing our family in other ways. After much prayer, God has led us to you. Our faith and family are very important to us. Our families are very close and they cannot wait to welcome a child. We are active in our church and promise to keep God the center of our lives and to teach our children the importance of having a relationship with Him. Please know that your child will always know how much you love them and how selfless you were to make the brave decision to place them for adoption. You will be a part of their story forever.  We would love to share updates and pictures,.  We would like to build a relationship with you as their birth mother. We cannot wait to welcome a child into our home and we look forward to the journey ahead.
