Kenneth & Jennifer 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.

About Kenneth Kenneth is the youngest of four children with three older sisters. He was raised in a small town by hard-working parents. His father passed away in 2005, and his mom still lives in the home where Kenneth grew up. Kenneth has five nieces and five nephews ranging in age from four years old to 21 years old. They love Kenneth! He has fun playing games like football, basketball, or badminton with them. They all live within 30 minutes of us, so we see them often. He earned a bachelor’s degree in Sociology and later earned a second bachelor’s degree in Computer Science. He currently works as a software engineer at a company he has been with for over two years.

Kenneth loves fishing! We have a small fishing boat we take out on the local reservoirs. He also likes to fly fish local streams and rivers. Kenneth has taken up golf in the last couple of years and likes hitting the ball long and straight. Music has always been part of Kenneth’s life, and it is music that brought us together. He likes a wide variety of music from rock to classical to old country to opera. Kenneth also loves clothes, German cars, and enjoys staying healthy and fit.

About Jennifer Jennifer is the oldest of three children with one brother and one sister. Her mother raised them in a suburb after her parents divorced when she was six. Jennifer has three nieces and one nephew from one to seven years old belonging to her brother. She earned a bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education and later earned a Master of Business Administration, MBA. She has been teaching sixth grade for 17 years, and she enjoys those quirky 11 and 12 year olds!

Jennifer has been playing the piano since she was six and the organ since she was 15. The piano was her first love! She likes reading children’s books and belongs to a book club. She wishes she had more time to bike, walk, and work out.

Our life together We have been married for 13 years. We met when Jennifer bought a grand piano, and Kenneth delivered it. We became friends, and then Jennifer asked Kenneth out to a piano concert. Kenneth proposed about a year after we met on New Year’s Eve at the beginning of church in front of the entire congregation. We were married four months later. Our wedding celebration was a fun night with a nice dinner and dancing.

We built our home two years ago. The house is beautiful, with a music room, family room, office, and a large basement with room to grow. The yard is pleasant with a vegetable garden, patio, and front bench. Our neighborhood borders an elementary school and a golf course.

We are each other’s best friends. We love spending time together, and it doesn’t really matter what we are doing. We could be biking, talking, watching television, shopping, going to the symphony or opera, fishing, or eating. The most important thing is that we are together. We sit down at the dinner table for dinner every night and breakfast and lunch on the weekends. We usually spend Sunday evenings with Kenneth’s mom. We enjoy going on vacations together, and we hope to be able to visit Australia and Germany someday.

Our journey to adoption When we were first married, we waited to have children until we were in a better financial position. Kenneth decided to go back to school. When he was three classes away from graduating in computer science, he was diagnosed with leukemia. He underwent six months of chemotherapy while a bone marrow donor was located, then he had a bone marrow transplant. Over the course of a year, he was in the hospital 87 days, with 37 of those being for the transplant. He was very sick and almost died on three specific occasions. We are so blessed that he is now five years post-transplant and considered cured by his doctors. Although this experience was difficult, we grew closer and became more unified as a couple. We greatly appreciate each day we have together.

Two years ago, we started fertility treatments, which have all been unsuccessful. We want to be parents and know that adoption is a great way to achieve that goal. We look forward to bringing home our first, and possibly only, child. We hope you will browse the remainder of our profile so you can come to know us even better. We know you will make the choice of parents that is perfect for your baby and you.
