About Us (Steve & Jess) We met at a gas station; yep you read it right a gas station of all places. When I returned to the car after paying for my gas my friend commented on how good looking the guy was behind the counter. She talked me into going back the next week and finding out if he was available. He was and he got my number and asked me out. On our first date he proceeded to tell me his entire life story along with his conversion story of the LDS church. After the date I couldn’t believe that I was the person who talked the least. I only said maybe ten sentences. I didn’t think I would hear from him again. I was wrong; we saw each other from that day on. We never were apart until after we were married. We became very close in those six months. I was always very impressed with how many things we had in common. We were married later that year. We were so in love when we got married but we are even more in love with each other now. We have enjoyed getting to know each other and supporting each other through life. There have been challenges in our marriage but we have always gotten through them together and have grown closer because of them.

***WRITTEN BY STEVEN ABOUT JESSICA*** I feel so lucky to have Jess in my life. I have a hard time opening up to people on a personal level. With Jess it was instantly there. From our first date up until now I feel like I can share every thought and feeling that I am having with Jess. It is just such an amazing thing to have that level of connection with someone. My relationship with her is one of the most cherished things that I have in life. When we were first married we went on tons of road trips and we still do to a smaller extent. It was so fun to be "trapped" in a car with her and to get those hours of one on one time. And now that we have kids those road trips have become a family affair. She is such a good friend to those around her. She gives of herself and expects little in return. She is such a Christ like example in the ways she lifts those around her in her life. She is always striving to improve herself personally, as a wife, as a mother and as a daughter of our Heavenly Father.

Jess is an amazing mother. She is everything that I ever hope for in raising our kids. She is very attentive to all their needs and always makes sure they are taken care of. She is solid in the way that she parents and the kids know that what mom says goes. Jess has always provided consistence parenting. She is very loving and kind and patient with our children. Everyone is always commenting on how smart our kids are and how well behaved they are. I think kids are who they are from a combination of their individual personality and the daily home environment they are in. Jess provides a loving and stable environment that helps our children thrive. She is so good at finding a balance between teaching, playing and having outside the home activities such as gymnastics and reading time at the library. I admire her in every way especially in how she is as a mother.

***WRITTEN BY JESSICA ABOUT STEVEN*** He is an incredible father to our kids. You will often find him taking a break from his work to play with the kids, kick a ball, dance around the office, or teach them a new trick. Both of our kids love their Daddy. It brings me so much joy to watch Steven playing with the kids. He is an amazing Dad with so much to offer.

I am so grateful for the experiences Steven has had in his life, it has made him the person that he is today. He is non judgmental and incredibly supportive and kind to everyone. He knows what he wants in life and he goes after it. He works extremely hard to give our family a wonderful life. He is exceptionally smart. Learning new things come very easily to him. Steven has a laid back personality. He is incredibly patient with everyone. He works extremely hard to make our family happy and provide the things that we need and want in life. I often tell people that I’m the luckiest wife in the world! Steven loves his family very much and is always concerned for our well being. Steven has an incredibly strong testimony of the gospel. We are so blessed that Heavenly Father sent Steven to be in our lives as my husband and the father to our children.

About the Kido's (Kylie & James) We adopted Kylie in 2005. Kylie is almost 4 years old. She is beautiful, compassionate, thoughtful, and a wonderful big sister. Kylie has been such a joy to have in our home. Kylie enjoys gymnastics; reading; cooking; dancing; singing; and playing with friends.

We adopted James in 2007. He is 2 years old. James is sweet, laid back, cuddly, and constantly laughing at the silliest things. James is always trying to figure out how things work. He also enjoys singing songs especially with his big sister. James is so fun to be around. He loves to play any game anyone wants to play with him.

Both of our children have open adoptions with their birth parents. Kylie knows her birth parents and James' birth parents by name. She knows she is adopted and is proud of it. We tell James he is adopted and has a birth family who loves him very much but he doesn't understand yet.

We have enjoyed having our children close in age and we hope we can continue having them close with our next child that we adopt. We want our children to know their birth parents and to know how loved they are by them. We want them to be proud of being adopted and who they are and where they came from. It is a very important part of who they are.

Our Hope We believe that birth parents and their families have become a part of our extended family. We can't wait to add another sweet child into our family! We also can't wait to meet you and include you in our extended "adoption family". We want you to know that we will love your child with all of our hearts. They will be coming into a home full of love, laughter, happiness, warmth, and more. We can promise you that your child will know you in whichever way you are most comfortable, letters, pictures, or visits or all of the above. We already love you so much and pray for you every night. We can't wait to hear from you and to meet you. Please feel free to contact us anytime. Send us a message

Hear from you soon!

Love, Steven and Jessica
