Marriage:
We met in college, and have been happily married for over 10 years. We were married on June 28th 1997.
Hobbies/Interests:
We enjoy traveling and take every opportunity to experience the fun and excitement of going to new places. We love spending time outdoors and try to get out and hike in the local mountains and go to the beach whenever possible.
Our Home:
We live in a comfortable 3 bedroom 2.5 bath home in south Orange County, California. Our community is family-friendly with great schools, beautiful parks, and extensive recreational programs.
Our Pet:
We have a sweet little black and white cat named Raja. He has been in our family for 7 years.
Why we are pursuing adoption:
We tried to conceive a child for several years and realized that God must have a different plan for us. As we wrestled with God's plan for our lives and our hope for children we were moved by the spirit of adoption in the Christian faith as described in Romans 8:15 "So you have not received a spirit that makes you fearful slaves. Instead, you received Gods Spirit when he adopted you as his own children. Now we call him, "Abba, Father."
Finances and Child Care Plans:
We are very blessed to be able to live comfortably on Kevin's income so that Jen will be able to stay at home with our children. Kevin works from home and we are excited that we will be home together to celebrate each milestone and help each other to be the best parents we can be.
