About Us
We are potential parents who love living life and want to share that love with your child. We have love in our hearts for God, first - family, next and from there it extends into our community. Marriage, to us, means working hard daily showing our love to each other. It helps that we both share a deep faith in Our Lord Jesus Christ. We exist with Him at the center of our lives. One of the things for which we pray daily is that God would bless us with a child. It does not look like this will happen biologically but, with God’s help, it may through adoption. We look forward to pouring our love out to a baby boy or girl, sharing all that we have with them. We especially look forward to helping them grow up knowing how much God loves them and the wonderful things He has in store for their lives.
We want to grow as a family through adoption. We respect all children’s uniqueness and believe that each has been created intentionally by Our Lord. The two of us often find ourselves in lively interaction with the children of our extended family and in our circle of friends. During these conversations, we both learn from the youngsters as well as share lessons we have learned in life..
We are looking forward to growing our family through any of the following adoption opportunities:

Letter to you
Read MoreOur Christian Commitment
Katie was raised Catholic from birth and Jason converted in high school. We consider our faith to be the firm foundation upon which our lives are built. The world shifts like sand dunes from one error to the next, but Christ is the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow. Having a knowledge of the truths is a big help to making our way in the world.
We are very involved in our parish community. Katie volunteers at our parochial grade school during the week. Jason is a lector on Sundays. Katie helps teach kids preparing for confirmation in the evenings. Jason participates in Sunday vespers services. And naturally, we're in a pew every Sunday to praise God and offer Him due worship.
Vision For Raising A Child
Our days have a gentle rhythm and raising a child would be at the center of our life. Jason works full-time in tech, splitting his time between his home office and the corporate office. Katie is a homemaker who regularly volunteers at our parish school and has often been found visiting older adults at the local nursing home. She loves spending time in the garden too! If we were to be blessed to welcome your baby into our lives, we are fully prepared to be dedicated and devoted parents. We have a deep support network in place to help us love, cherish, and nurture a most precious child. Your child placed with us would be part of a large extended family. He or she would have many cousins. Our youngest nephew up the block is only a year and a half and another nephew out of town is just ten months. Our godchildren range in age from new babies all the way up to ten. Jason can’t wait to teach a child to love God and to help his or her inquiring mind grow and develop, especially with his passion for mathematics. Katie is filled with love for babies. She cannot wait to truly dote upon, coo over, and spend every waking moment caring for a precious child.
ABOUT Jason
I'm mostly German but all American. I grew up with Mom, Dad, and my sister in the city. I like creating things and I'm a computer whiz at work.
But on weekends I relax by cheering my nieces’ and nephews’ sports teams, attending musical performances with my wife, and by serving as a lector on Sundays.
EXTENDED FAMILY
Holidays with our extended family include a huge feast, with at least one jigsaw puzzle going, the game on in the background, and people digging in for seconds.
The best part is everyone spending a few moments to share aloud what we are grateful for: God, each other, and the gift of our lives.
WORK & EDUCATION
Jason has a bachelor's degree and works as a software developer.
HOBBIES & INTERESTS
I’m the second eldest of five children. I was a big help to our parents in raising my younger siblings. Growing up, my household was full of diapers, driving siblings to soccer, ballet classes, and martial arts. Praying together - Mom, Dad and kids - we enjoyed a close family life. I grew up babysitting and always have loved being with small children, now I look forward to welcoming a child to our home!
