Hello there! 

We are Jesse and Katie. We’ve been married for 11 years and have felt a pull towards adoption for about 10 of those years. It is something we have talked and prayed about many times. Ultimately, we decided to have two children first, meanwhile keeping adoption in our hearts for the “right time”. When we moved to Indiana, it became very clear it was our time to begin the adoption process. Within the last year, we have really explored what adoption could look like for our family. Growing in this way would only multiply the love we share together. We think it is so special for a child to have two families who share a great love for them!  

We are a military family-Jesse has served in the U.S. Army for 12 years. He is now working with national guard service members, guiding them through various trainings. I, (Katie) finished my degree in 2017 but ultimately decided that my focus in this season was to be a mom. I currently stay at home with our two children and could not be happier to do so! As a family, we love to travel, spend time outdoors at our favorite parks and walking trails, and visit our extended family and friends. At home, we share lots of laughs at the dinner table, we love to cook together, craft together, and play games. As parents, we raise our children to love the Lord and to love others. We turn to him in times of sadness and joy. We strive to teach them to be the light of the world each day; by showing kindness and extending grace towards others.  

Thank you for taking the time to consider our family!  Even though we’ve never met, you have been in our hearts for a very long time. The strength that you have, and your love for your child is so admirable to us!  We would love for you to become a part of our story, and us yours. You are already so special to us. We would be honored to support you through this process, and throughout life. We would love to hear about your hopes and dreams, and build a relationship together.
