Hello!

First, thank you so much for taking time to look at our profile and consider us as a possible choice for your baby's second family. Your bravery and strength are inspiring to us, and we hope you know that we, along with our entire family, are praying for you, your baby, and everyone else involved in your decision. The primary reason we felt drawn to JustChoice is their support for the birth family and their experience facilitating open adoptions. We view adoption as an opportunity to come alongside you in order to champion your decision. We are hopeful that as you consider your options, the adoption route feels less overwhelming because of this support. No matter what, our hope is that by visiting our profile and talking with JustChoice, you understand how important you are! Our family is 100% willing and prepared to help you along your journey, and we are honored to be considered as a second family for your baby. Please feel free to look through our photos and videos, so that you can get a better feel for who we are and what your baby's life could look like if they were to join us. And always remember and be encouraged that we are praying for your peace of mind, your health, and your well-being constantly.

In five years our relationship with our child’s birth mother will…

still be supportive and reliable according to whatever level of connection she is interested in having.

-Cassie

Complete the sentence, “I can’t live without……”

My family. I cannot imagine life without feeling connected to them or their support.

-Nate

When we argue, what’s it about?

When Cassie and I argue, it is typically about the way in which something should occur. We sometimes see things from a different perspective. When this does happen, we try to communicate as openly and honestly as possible and trust the other's reaction to be respectful and to hear what we have to say.

-Nate

What scares you?

I am not the biggest fan of snakes....

What is the best word to describe our family?

Adventurous!

-Cassie

If you had to live on an RV or sailboat for the rest of your life, which would it be?

RV. Though a sailboat would be fun, I feel the experience of living on the water would get old pretty quick. An RV would feel more natural and comfortable.

-Nate

Favorite season and why?

My favorite season is spring because I love watching everything come back to life and preparing for our summer vegetable garden.

-Cassie

Do you consider yourself religious or spiritual?

Yes! I feel most connected with a Christian doctrine that is supportive of LGBTQIA+ communities and confronts racism, xenophobia and colonialism.

-Cassie

We are the best choice because…

we are completely prepared to parent today and are thrilled at the opportunity. We have been waiting for years for the chance to parent.

-Nate

What scares you?

I do not like the dark!

-Cassie

My philosophy on parenting is...

I want to raise adventurous and curious kids, and I think a supportive and nurturing approach to parenting is key to that. I want to make sure I'm listening to them and helping them grow in what they are interested in.
