Jason & Drusilla are hopeful adoptive parents from Idaho waiting to adopt a baby.

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

Our Message Dear Birth Parents,
We can’t begin to understand the pain and difficulty you are experiencing as you consider the best options for you and your baby. We admire and respect you. We want you to know that our thoughts and prayers are with you constantly. We know the Lord will be there for you in this difficult time. We would like to thank you for taking the time to get to know us better.
Living on the family dairy farm is an awesome experience. The farm is owned by Jason's grandparents and has been in the family for 70 years. It is a blessing to live so close to Jason’s family. His parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, and sister’s family live nearby. We love having so much extended family within walking distance to love, support, and join in our activities. Jason works on the farm with his dad, grandpa and uncles. Going on picnics, looking at the stars, and collecting fall leaves are just a few of the many fun things we enjoy doing on the farm. The dairy also helps teach the importance of work. There's always something to do, like feeding calves and driving tractors.
Through our years of marriage, we have developed a deeper love and friendship. We have learned to communicate and work through problems. This has helped us to trust and appreciate each other. We try to support and accept each other for who we are.
We met at a country music dance hall through a mutual friend. At the time Dru was attending Utah State University. We agree that our first date could have gone a lot better. There were three couples and not more than 100 words spoken the whole evening. We didn’t see or talk to each other for two months. Jason claims it was all part of his plan. He wanted Dru to think he wasn’t interested so she would chase after him. Two months later, we met again at a country dance hall. We danced together and the rest is pretty much history. We both knew then that we were meant to be together.
We waited for a year before trying to have a child. After lots of hoping and praying, we finally decided that we would have to get a child another way. We want the opportunity to raise children in our home and teach them. That is why we have decided to adopt.

Family Background Jason's family background:My family consists of 6. I am the second oldest of four children. I have an excellent relationship with my family. I have the opportunity to work with my dad on the farm. I get to see my sisters and parents on a regular basis. I also keep in contact with my brother via phone calls.
My siblings and I were taught the importance of family, honesty, thriftiness, and hard work. Some of my favorite memories with my family include going to get cow feed with my grandfather, helping out with the farm chores, playing on the tractors and snowmobiles, going in the hills behind my house on the 4 wheelers, climbing on the hay stacks, and building forts out of straw bales.
Dru's Family background: My family consists of 6. I am the oldest of 4 children. We are very supportive and loving of each other. We keep in contact on a regular basis.
My siblings and I were taught the importance of believing in God, doing what is right, always being there and supporting each other, and the importance of making time to have fun and be goofy. Some of my favorite memories with my family include annual family vacations where we learned history first hand and a love for nature; bi-annual family Olympics where we competed in various events like the hula hoop contest and the doughnut eating contest; floating down the canal in the summer; playing games; watching movies; and working on the small family farm.

Hobbies and Interests Jason has two boys from a former marriage. They live with their mother most of the time. We are looking forward to extending our family. We love spending time with Jason's two boys when we get them every Wednesday and every other weekend, but we can't wait to have a child in our home all the time. We both feel that our families are the most important things we have. The time we spend with them and each other is very special to us.
As a family, we love riding 4 wheelers, playing games, and reading books together. We enjoy taking annual vacations. We have been to the Grand Canyon, Yellowstone National Park, Disneyland, Dinosaur National Park and Arches National Park. We also enjoy is going camping with immediate and extended family.
We have a tradition of going to Lagoon, an amusement park in Utah, every year in October with Dru’s family. We have also started the tradition of decorating the farm for Halloween by making calf pens look like ghosts, pumpkins and monsters. The most exciting part is the one hundred fifty pumpkins we carve and place in our driveway.
Aside from doing things with the two boys there are many things we enjoy doing as a couple. We love dancing, watching movies, watching basketball games, and working together. We have made it a goal to go on a weekly date. These dates include going bowling, Christmas shopping, and going out to dinner. We feel that it is important to share this time together.
Jason's Hobbies: My favorite thing to do is spend time with my wife and two boys. I have spent many hours playing super heroes and army guys with Chantz, and playing farm with Keller. One day, Chantz and Keller were playing super heroes, One was Batman and one was Spider-man, I decided I wanted my own Super hero, so I became Pancake man. Pancake man uses maple syrup, pancakes and butter as his weapons. This shows my great imagination. I am always coming up with stuff like this.
I have also had fun building a very large club house out of stuff found around the farm. The kids love it. We bring our scouts over to our house once in awhile. The club house ends up being their favorite thing they get to do. I get excited every time I think of something new to put on the club house. I also enjoy skiing, sledding, reading, helping people, welding, and playing video games.
A message about Jason by Dru:
I love the way Jason is able to get down on a child's level and play with them. He is also very creative in building and fixing things. Another quality I love is his great sense of humor.
Dru's hobbies: I love being with Jason and the boys. I also enjoy being around people. It makes me happy to be able to visit them and help them. One of the things I do is hold an annual Christmas dinner for the widows in our church. It is fun to get them together and listen to their stories.
I love scrap-booking, a hobby I picked up after we got married. I feel it is important that the boys have scrapbooks. One year for Christmas, I made scrapbooks for the boys that included pictures from Jason's first marriage. I felt it was extremely important for the boys to have these pictures.
Music is also a very big part of my life. I love playing the flute and singing. I love to read stories to Keller and Chantz. I also enjoy white water rafting, dancing, watching basketball, and hiking.
A message about Dru by Jason:
I love the way Dru is always volunteering to help someone. She is always being asked to do something and she is always willing to do it.
She is also really good with children and loves being around them. She also accepts me for who I am and doesn’t try to change me.

Final Words We are really excited to have a child in our home that we can love and cherish. Dru is planning on being a stay at home mom. Jason will be on the farm so he will be close all the time.
We are willing to explore an open adoption because we believe the relationship between the birth mother and the child is important. We will start off with letters, pictures, an occasional visit, and see where things go from there.
Thank you for taking the time to read this letter. We admire your strength and courage to face this experience. We know that with the Lord’s help you will make the right decisions for you and your child.

Gratefully yours,
Jason and Drusilla
