Jordan & Samantha are hopeful adoptive parents from Iowa waiting to adopt a baby.

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

Dear Friend:
Thank you so much for learning about us! We haven’t met yet, but we have something in common, we are both mothers who love your child. You love your child so deeply that you are willing to share him or her with another family, and we yearn to love your child and welcome him or her into our home and family, for eternity.

You will always be a special part of your child’s life and our family’s heart. Your child will always know of the special person who gave them life and how much you will always love them. Jordan and I knew from the beginning of our relationship that we wanted children in our family. We knew right away that adopting our children was right for us and quickly became the parents of a beautiful little girl through the miracle of adoption. I truly believe that our adoption experience has been a miracle, our little Michaela was meant to be with us and the only way it became possible was through the amazing woman who has shared her with us. We have come to love and cherish her over the last year and a half, and we speak with her often. We love to give her updates on the beautiful person she brought into this world, and look forward to the times we get to see her.

About Us We love life and are optimistic, enjoyable people. We like to take day trips to go hiking or swimming or boating, but or favorite part is the drive there, so we can talk to each other. We both love music, though we can’t really agree on a specific genre! Michaela is a big priority and we enjoy taking her to her “first” of everything; first trip to the zoo, first camping trip, first time out on the boat, etc.

About our Family:
We have a happy family. We are all grateful to be together and experience family with each other. Communication is very important to us, we work on it regularly and read books together to ensure we are always on the same page. Being on the same team is so crucial to us! In this world, things are so crazy, it is nice to know that your family will always be on your team to encourage and support you. Both families are very excited for us to grow our family through the miracle of adoption again and they can hardly wait to embrace another child. We know from experience that your child will be accepted and loved unconditionally by cousins, grandparents, great grandparents, aunts and uncles.
We both come from great families and are very close to our siblings. Both parents have been married for 25-plus years and are very involved in our lives. Jordan comes from a family of 3 boys and one girl. I come from a family of two girls and one brother. Both families look for any excuse to get together, whether it is family vacations, birthday parties, and barbecue’s, or weekend getaways.

About Jordan and Samantha, and Michaela About Jordan from Samantha: Little did I know, that when I was dreaming as a young girl about what my husband was going to be like, I wasn’t setting the bar high enough! Jordan truly is my best friend and my “dream man”. His unshakable faith and one hundred percent honesty are what first attracted me to him and they continue to be a few of his wonderful traits. A few others include that he is a goal setter and he respects me and my opinion. I love that we are equal and that he cherishes me. Before we were married he spent two years in Southern Chile serving the people and touching their hearts with the gospel that we hold so dear to us. He is my rock and I am so blessed to have him in my life. There isn’t a day that goes by in our home without laughter and every night before we fall asleep he takes the time to tell me that he loves me and I am the most important person in his life. Jordan works very hard for our family, and takes great pride in providing for us. He is such a wonderful father! Regardless of how hectic his work day is, he plays with Michaela every day and is so concerned for her safety and well being. Every Friday and Saturday night since she has been born, he has taken over “baby duty” in order to give me a full night’s sleep and to be with Michaela for some special daddy-daughter time. He likes to teach her new skills and regularly talks to her in Spanish.

About Samantha from Jordan: On the day of our wedding a few close friends and relatives made comments to me such as “she’s way out of your league” and “what is she doing with a guy like you?”. As more and more months go by, I begin to realize that they were right. The world is chaotic and loud and Samantha brings peace and joy into our home. Her faith and perseverance in the gospel are an inspiration to me and I continue to learn from her everyday. We mentioned earlier that we do not agree on music but it’s not just music; there are a lot of things that make us different from each other, and that is what makes us so compatible. I never thought my family could love my wife as much as they love Samantha, but she really does fit right into my side of the family as if she grew up with us all along. I hope you get the chance to meet her someday whether by phone or in person because she really is one of the sweetest people you will ever meet.

About Michaela: What a joy a child is! Michaela has turned our world upside down, and the view sure is better from here! She has brought so much light into our home, with her constant smiling and unique personality. As you can see from this picture, she is quite spunky and energetic- and we wouldn't want her any other way! There honestly hasn't been a day when either Jordan or I hasn't made the comment, "Isn't she wonderful?" We love our daughter so much there just aren't the right words, she is amazing and fills a place in our hearts we didn't even know existed! We love her so much and can’t imagine what we ever did without our little girl. Your child will also be loved and cherished throughout their lives. We desire everything for your child that is good and right. They will be given wise counsel and guidance in a home full of love. We will tell them of your love for them. We want our children to be close in age so that they have a companion in the backyard, a buddy in school and a best friend for life.

Our future: We just moved to Iowa, where Jordan will be finishing up a Master's Degree. Our community has lots of little children for Michaela and your child to play and grow with. We currently attend two playgroups per week and go on field trips each day. There are Farmer's Markets, concerts in the park and outdoor movie nights for families. We dream of the day when our home will be full of the sounds of silly laughter and lots of hugs and kisses from multiple children. We are active members of our church and derive much strength and faith from our beliefs. Samantha enjoys being a full-time mom while Jordan attends school and works close enough to our home that we see him everyday on his lunch break.

In Conclusion We have embraced adoption with much excitement and joy in our hearts and feel very strongly that this is God’s will for us. We look forward to sharing our lives and providing a secure home for the children we will be blessed with.

Family is the most important priority to us now and in the future. We will do everything in our power to provide your child with opportunities and the best life possible.

We would embrace an open adoption to give a child the chance to know where he or she comes from. We would want you to be comfortable in this new relationship, and would be willing to explore all options with you. The picture that you are looking at is of me (Samantha) and Michaela's Birthmother. She also wanted to write a letter to you, and you will find her beautiful words at the bottom of our letter. Please take the time to read it, you will come to know her and lover her too! We have truly come to love this woman and want you to know that we will love and respect you too. We would love to get to know you better, and perhaps ease your mind with this difficult and miraculous choice you are making.

We want you to know that we will gladly pay for any expenses related to the adoption such as medical, maternity clothes, supplies, and all other needs that we are legally able too. We would be willing to have a more open adoption where we meet with you or not so open or something in between. We would be eager to exchange letters, pictures, phone calls, and we would love to meet with you and your family/friends if you would like.

We have the highest respect for you in choosing to adopt. We can't imagine what you must be going through in choosing adoptive parents. We know that prayer has helped us many times in our lives when we have needed to make important decisions. We hope that you will prayerfully consider us as your adoptive parents/family.

All our love,
Jordan, Samantha and Michaela

Dear Birthmother- Please take the time to read this post...
I am Michaela's birthmother, she is such an angel and what a wonderful family she has. It was a very had choice that I made with my best friend there as support. It was scary for me to meet Jordan and Samantha for the first time, but I spent about a month with them before having the baby, and they went with me to dr. appointments and spent time with me going to the pet stores and hanging out! When I had the baby, they were there at the hospital, and they spent as much time with her, letting me visit her. When they left the hospital they spent time here where I live and let me visit with Michaela as long as I wanted and it was tuff, and when they left to go home it was really tuff. But knowing that she was in good hands and the family is so wonderful, I felt that she was in a good home. Once again I am pleased with the outcome with this family and my decision that I made. Please make your own choice and think long and hard. If you would like to talk to me, please let them know and I would love to share my story with you. You are not alone.
Michaela's birthmother, Davea
