Jeffrey and Andrea

Our names are Jeffrey and Andrea, and we are so grateful that you are taking the time to get to know us. We cannot fully understand the journey you have been on or how difficult this decision may be, but we deeply respect the love and care you have for your baby.

It is important to us to learn about you and your family history so we can better understand where your child comes from and help them stay connected to their story. We believe that honoring that connection matters. We are open to sharing updates and staying in touch in a way that feels comfortable for you, and we want you to know you will always hold a meaningful place in our hearts.

In our home, your child will be deeply loved, supported, and treated as our own. We hope to create a childhood filled with laughter, curiosity, and connection. From Disney and Harry Potter to sports, board games, reading, music, and everyday adventures like bowling or movie nights, we look forward to sharing the things we love while encouraging your child to discover what they enjoy most.

Your child will be surrounded by unconditional love from us, our extended family, and our dogs, Maverick and Tigger. Grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, and close family friends are excited to welcome a child into our lives and offer support, encouragement, and plenty of love.

Adoption has always been something that spoke to us, and we feel grateful to be on this path. We know the choice you are making is not an easy one, and we respect the strength it takes to consider adoption. Please know that your child will be cared for with intention, patience, and love. Thank you for taking the time to learn about us and for considering us as part of your child’s story.

From the beginning of our relationship, we knew we wanted to be parents and raise children together. Adoption has always felt like a meaningful path for building our family. We believe it offers an incredible opportunity to provide a child with a loving, supportive, and joyful life.

As we have moved through this process, our excitement has continued to grow. This journey feels right for our family, and we are grateful to be here. This adoption journey just feels right for our family and we are here for it!

Our lifestyle begins and ends with family. From daily time together to meaningful moments with our extended family, connection is at the center of our lives. Sports play a big role for us, whether we are cheering on our favorite Michigan and Arizona teams, attending games, or enjoying activities together. We love staying active and look forward to introducing a child to different sports and experiences, always allowing them the freedom to choose what they enjoy most.

At home, we value variety and togetherness. Whether it’s cooking while listening to music, playing board games, spending time with our dogs, or setting phones aside to focus on each other, family time is important to us. Travel is also a big part of our life, from trips to the Grand Canyon or Michigan lakes to California adventures and Disney trips. Everyday joys like movie nights, bowling, family walks, community pool days, and shared meals fill our lives. We look forward to offering your child an active, loving, and fun life centered around family.

We love sports, both playing and watching, and being active together is a big part of our life. We genuinely enjoy doing life side by side, whether that means trying something new or sticking to our routines. Laughter, encouragement, and showing up for each other matter to us every day. We value time with family and friends and enjoy creating traditions we can pass on. Our bucket list includes traveling, attending sporting events, and making lots of everyday memories together.

From our nieces and nephews to our friends’ children, Andrea’s interactions with kids show exactly the kind of mother she will be. She has a natural way of connecting with them, making them laugh, and at the same time earning their trust and respect. One small moment that says a lot is how naturally kids gravitate toward Andrea. Recently, our niece insisted that only “Auntie Andrea” brush her hair, which speaks to the trust and comfort Andrea builds so easily with children. She brings honesty, kindness, patience, persistence, humor, and a genuine love for games and sports into everything she does.

Time and time again, Andrea has shown a strong nurturing instinct, whether with children or caring for our dogs. She meets kids where they are, supports them in finding what they enjoy, and offers steady guidance along the way. Your child will be loved, supported, and cared for deeply by her.

One of the things I admire most about Jeff is his natural connection with children. Kids are instantly comfortable around him, and they are always excited to spend time together. He has a calm, steady presence that helps children feel safe, paired with a fun and playful side that makes everyday moments enjoyable.

Jeff believes deeply in encouraging kids to be curious, confident, and kind. He leads by example, showing patience, consistency, and respect in the way he treats others. Watching him interact with children leaves no doubt in my mind that he will be a loving, devoted, and supportive parent. Your child will be cared for with encouragement, stability, and a lot of love from day one.

We live in Arizona, in a newer community filled with young families and located next to a great elementary school. We love being close to a local farm, which we visit often for seasonal events like pumpkin patches and holiday lights. Our home includes a community pool nearby, a backyard putting green, and spaces where we enjoy watching games, playing board and card games, and spending time together.

We have a loft that we know will become a fun play area, and nearby dog parks that our dogs love. From our neighborhood to our home, we are excited to raise a child in a welcoming, family-friendly community.

Family plays a huge role in our lives, and we are fortunate to be surrounded by people who are excited to welcome a child and offer love, guidance, and support. Our parents, step-parents, siblings, and close family friends are actively involved in our lives, and time together is something we truly value. Our gatherings are filled with laughter, shared meals, games, and time spent catching up. Whether it’s celebrating holidays, spending time together during vacations, or simply enjoying everyday moments, our family makes a point to stay connected and present with one another. These shared traditions and experiences have shaped who we are and are something we look forward to including a child in as our family grows.

We are also grateful for close family friends who feel more like family and have always been there for us. Together, they form a strong and supportive village. Your child will grow up surrounded by people who value connection, encouragement, and showing up for one another in meaningful ways.

We are open to adopting a child of a different racial or cultural background than our own, including children of mixed Caucasian heritage. We value diversity and believe it enriches family life. We are committed to learning about, honoring, and celebrating our child’s cultural background so they grow up with a strong sense of identity, belonging, and pride. Our home will be one where differences are respected, embraced, and supported with love.

We have two dogs who are a big part of our family. Tigger, our older dog, has grown alongside us and brings a calm, steady presence to our home. Maverick, our younger dog, is full of energy, love, and enthusiasm. Both are wonderful with children and enjoy being part of family life.

Family traditions are very important to us, especially holidays and time spent together. Vacations are a tradition we have already started and look forward to continuing as our family grows. We enjoy a mix of new places and familiar favorites, from city trips to beach destinations and theme parks, as well as in-state adventures like the Grand Canyon.

Holidays are especially meaningful in our home. We love celebrating together, decorating early for Christmas, baking cookies, making tamales, hosting Christmas Eve, and enjoying a quiet Christmas morning together. We also enjoy celebrating Halloween, Thanksgiving, New Year’s, Easter, and the Fourth of July. We are committed to learning about and honoring your family’s cultural traditions and making space for them as part of your child’s life.

A song lyric that speaks deeply to us says, “How we treat each other when the day is done.” That belief guides how we want to raise a child. Life, to us, is about love, kindness, patience, honesty, accountability, and showing respect to yourself and others.

We promise to love your child unconditionally, guide them as they grow, support their interests, and help them discover who they are. We will always speak about you with respect and make sure your child knows their story and where they come from.
Our goal is to provide a well-rounded life filled with connection, care, and meaningful experiences.

If you choose us, we will pour our hearts into raising your child with love, care, and intention. We are committed to honoring your role in their life and ensuring they feel connected to their story. We respect the decision you are facing and admire your strength.

Thank you for taking the time to learn about us. Your child will always be loved, supported, and valued.
