Jim & Kellie are hopeful adoptive parents from Michigan waiting to adopt a baby.

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

Welcome We are Kellie and Jim, and we are thrilled to have you consider us as the possible family for your child! We could say how we know it’s a hard choice for you etc., but really we have no idea what you are thinking or feeling. Surely it is a tornado of emotions that may only be softened by the relief you feel when you finally find the right family for your child. In the meantime, we would like to give you a glimpse of who we are as a couple and as a family. Thank you for taking the time to get to know us a little better!

It All Started When... Boy Meets Girl
1999: Kellie starts working at Telecommunications company.

Kellie: I met Jim at work where we are both Graphic Designers and thought he was super cool and interesting (and so cute!). I liked Jim from afar for a while, thinking he might be a little too cool for me and never really thought we would date. We would often interact at work functions and parties and I started to notice all the flirting going on between the two of us. Then one night on a dock - by a lake - during a group camping trip, we had our first magical kiss....from that kiss forward we have built a truly loving and wonderful life together.

Jim: When I first met Kellie I thought she was cool, cute and very stylish. As I got to know her, I realized we had the same goofy sense of humor, youthful energy, and enthusiasm towards trying new things. We soon began dating and realized that along with having fun together, we also shared the same strong family values and goals for the future, and we started falling in love. As time went on, I realized that Kellie was “the one.”


Boy Marries Girl
Wedding Date: January 10th, 2004
The happy couple honeymoons in New Zealand for 3 weeks

Moving Day: June 18th 2006
We sell Jim’s bachelor pad, pack up our pets and move to our new home in “the country”.


Life Goes On
Somewhere around this time we start to wonder why we aren’t getting pregnant, but it will still be a year or so before we pursue it any further. In the meantime we enjoy our new home which is perfect for entertaining friends and family. Over the next couple years we take a vacation to Italy with Kellie’s Nonna, Jim runs the Detroit Free Press Marathon, and Kellie starts her own business making and selling jewelry.


Kellie is
the best wife and friend I could ever hope for. She is friendly, intelligent, loving, beautiful, sensitive and very witty. One of the things I love about Kellie is the way she brightens a room with her energy. She puts other people’s struggles ahead of her own and offers to help family and friends any chance she can. We have many friends with kids, and she loves when they come and visit. One of our friends recently gave birth, and Kellie just melts whenever she holds their baby.

I love how creative Kellie is. Whether it’s making a handmade card for someone, thinking up creative gift ideas, or decorating our home, she finds a way to put a little bit of her heart into whatever she does. Her favorite creative outlet is making handmade jewelry.

Kellie also loves to cook - especially Italian. Each year my mom asks Kellie to make her specialty - green lasagna with homemade noodles for mother’s day...delicious!

The biggest reason I think Kellie will make a wonderful mother is because she is the most caring and honest person I know. She lets her heart lead her and throws herself completely into whatever she’s passionate about. She has shown me time and time again that she has endless love to give. I know she would make a wonderful mother.


Jim is
the Best Husband Ever! Really, I could just leave it at that...but I will go on! Having met Jim a little later in life, I had been a little jaded by bad relationships and not really sure if I would ever meet "Mr. Right". Well here we are years later and I can honestly say that Jim was worth the wait! The years that we have been together have been the best years of my life! The love and friendship that Jim and I have together is more than I ever dreamed possible. My single friends use our relationship as their litmus test...just recently my friend said that from now on when she dates someone she is going to ask herself "is this my Jim?"

What I love most about Jim is his unending commitment to making me happy and having a healthy, loving marriage. Jim is always doing things for me around the house and always trying to make my life easier and happier. He is a home loving guy. He would rather be home with me and the pets, sitting by the fire watching movies than out partying with his buddies. Even the pets love Jim! When he is watching TV or reading in bed, slowly all the animals come to gather around him for love and attention. Sometimes I get jealous, but then I just get in line. : )

Jim is a kind, loving person and has made me a better person myself. I always say that I got one of the good guys! Jim is an all-around solid stable man. Through all of our infertility problems, procedures and a surgery....Jim was there with me every step of the way. He took loving care of me when I was on bed rest. I know I can count on him through thick and thin. I know he will be an excellent father. He has read a lot of books about adoption. He is very committed to giving our child the best possible future and learning as much as he can about being an adoptive father.

We Are Family Our Family
We are so lucky to both have our parents who are still married and committed to each other and their families. We also each have a younger brother, neither married, no kids. That means our children will be the first grandchildren on both sides! Talk about spoiled! We have no doubt that our child will have a lifetime of love and attention.

We love spending time with our families....and we are lucky enough to have both sides truly enjoy each others company. Our moms get together and giggle like they have been friends for life. This makes our holidays so much fun! We have both families over for Thanksgiving every year. During the summer we love having Sunday BBQ’s and then we all take a long leisurely walk out back with the dogs. Kellie’s parents have a Maltese named Tinker who is our Chihuahua Zoe’s B.F.F.! And Jim’s parents just got a new collie/lab mix puppy named Jake. It’s a riot to watch the dogs run and play. We so look forward to having a children to share in all this wonderful family fun!

Our Friends
We are very blessed to have a group of very supportive friends. Many of our friends have children and have hoped and prayed for us to join them in the joys of parenthood. Through all of our infertility problems and our journey through the adoption process, they have been there cheering us on. We love having their kids over to spend the night and hang out with us for the weekend. We look forward to fun weekends with all the kids playing together and becoming fast friends!

Home Sweet Home
We love our home ! It’s the perfect balance of nature while still being in the city and close to work. We often see wildlife like deer, foxes even owls in the field behind our house.

Kellie: Every day on my way to and from work, I drive by the elementary school. I often picture myself walking our child to and from school...or maybe riding our bikes with Zoe in the basket. Jim gets off of work early at 3:15, so I picture us having a nice dinner together and still having time to enjoy the outdoors as a family.

Jim: Our backyard is a child’s dream. It’s perfect for exploring the outdoors, playing games, or even camping out. I look forward to the day when I can hang out in the backyard with our children and the neighborhood kids, play soccer, baseball or anything else.

We hope that we can give you the assurance that the children we adopt will always know that it was their birthmother’s love that brought them to us.
