Ron & Jessica are hopeful adoptive parents from Utah waiting to adopt a baby.

If you are pregnant and considering placing your child for adoption, please read the following Dear Birthmother Letter.

WELCOME Thank you for your choice to consider adoption as a possibility for your baby. We can’t imagine the thoughts and feelings you have as you seek to make the best decision for you and your baby. Even though we haven’t met you, we love you and pray for you. We hope you find peace in your decision. This is the most difficult letter we’ve ever written, but we hope you get a glimpse into our life.

The doctor told us soon after we married that we wouldn’t be able to conceive children. Our experience with infertility has given us time to think about children and to be more prepared to be parents. It’s a big step and we feel we are ready. We have a successful marriage that we both nurture everyday. Not a day goes by without a goodbye kiss when Ron leaves for work. We rely on one another and we say “I Love You” everyday. It has always been a goal for Jessica to stay home to care for our children while Ron is at work and we’re happy that we’ll be able to do that.

What Ron Says

I love my wife and it was difficult at first to accept that I wouldn’t be able to have children with her. I’m glad that through the miracle of adoption we can have the opportunity to be parents. I have a lot of love to share and I have always dreamed of being a Daddy. I look forward to giving Father’s Blessings and teaching our children to follow Jesus Christ. I am eager to play with our children and to enjoy their hugs and kisses. I long for the day that I can watch our child’s eyes light up when they see what Santa has brought. I want to celebrate birthdays, go to little league and football games. I can’t wait to see Jessica in action as a mommy. She’ll do a nice job of kissing booboos and wiping tears. When I see her interacting with the children near our life, I just know she'll be a great mom.

What Jessica Says

I grew up in a single parent home and it was incredibly difficult for me. My parents did the best they could separately, but my family was broken apart and it was painful growing up without the unity and the love of a forever family. I feel so blessed to have the most wonderful husband whom I love and cherish. It's so great to know that I can always talk to him about anything. When we found out we wouldn’t be able to have children we just knew, without a doubt, that adoption was our answer. What's most amazing to me is that I love Ron more than anyone else on earth and, of course, we’re not related, so I know our adopted children will be able to feel that same love.

ABOUT US Ron used to tell my friends that we met while ice skating. He would say I fell thru the ice and he saved me! (Ron is quite a tease and has a great sense of humor). Actually, we’re a singles ward success story! In 2001 we had both just moved to the same town. When Jessica went to church on Sunday, Ron was the first person she met. We quickly became best friends and dated for the next eight months before marrying in Bountiful, UT. We've really enjoyed the past six years of marriage and look forward to many, many more years together. We’ve both worked hard to receive college degrees and we look forward to teaching our children to be successful in life and in school. We’ve been able to teach children in our church and it’s brought a lot of joy into our lives. We currently teach the 14-17 year olds in Sunday School and enjoy the opportunity to serve as volunteers.

INTERESTS AND HOBBIES We are an active couple and most of our favorite activities are being in the great outdoors or spending time with either of our families. One of our family traditions is to go bowling together the Saturday after Thanksgiving. We’re not very good at bowling, but we always have fun! Our newest family tradition is to go sledding on New Year’s Day. Then we enjoy some hot cocoa, chili and all the leftover goodies from Christmas. We're excited for the day we will involve our children in these traditions and to create new traditions with them.

We're also blessed to enjoy family vacations each year. Three years ago, we had the chance to re-visit Ron’s mission area and people he met there. It was something Jessica really wanted to do for Ron. C’etait magnifique! While we do enjoy traveling, there's no place like home. It's always nice to come home and relax.

LAST THOUGHTS Jessica says: One of the attributes that attracted me most to Ron is his sense of humor; he can always make me LAUGH! One day I overheard him singing a Disney song in the shower and it still puts a smile on my face just thinking about it. He likes planning family vacations and most recently took up blogging! He’s a hard worker and enjoys his job, especially since he has nights and weekends off. But best of all he likes to make me happy!

Ron says: Jessica likes me to take her up in the mountains and any activities that can be done there are okay with her. She’s also happy to cuddle up to me on the couch and watch a movie or have me read the scriptures to her. She loves taking pictures and sharing them with friends and family. She likes working from home and takes great care in organizing our home. Without Jessica in my life I wouldn't be the person I am today.

Adoption is a special way to make a family and we don't think it should be a secret to our children. A child placed in our home will always know about the love their birthparents have for them. We'd like to meet in person if you are comfortable with that as well as exchange letters and photos often. We also respect your privacy if you aren't looking for an open adoption. We're happy to answer any questions you might have. Call us anytime toll free at 1-866-815-3014 or Send us a message. We'd enjoy getting to know you better and would love to hear from you!

Your friends,
Ron and Jessica
