Jason and Leah

One of the very first conversations we had while dating was about how much we both wanted to have children. At the time, we had no idea what our journey to parenthood would look like. We tried for several years and eventually went through IVF. While that was a difficult and heartbreaking experience, we never lost sight of the desire that God placed in our hearts to be parents. From the very beginning, we knew it didn’t matter whether our child was biologically ours or not. What mattered was the love we were ready to give.
Now, as we prepare to welcome a child into our lives, our hearts are filled with excitement. We can’t wait for family game nights around the table, teaching them how to ride a bike, chasing away monsters under the bed, reading bedtime stories, and saying prayers together. Our family and friends are just as eager as we are to meet this child. While we may have a small immediate family, our chosen extended family is large, loving, and so ready to welcome a little one into our world.
We love to travel and explore new places, from zoos and aquariums in different states to children’s and history museums. We can’t wait to share those adventures with a child. Christmas is especially magical for us from sipping hot chocolate while looking at Christmas lights to our tradition of wearing matching pajamas on Christmas Eve.
Leah is excited to start new traditions, like Friday night movie campouts in the living room and baking cookies together. Jason is looking forward to reading comic books, playing Mario Kart, and dressing up for Halloween as a family.
More than anything, we are committed to providing a loving, supportive, and joy-filled home. Even though we haven’t met yet, please know that we are praying for you every step of the way.
