Hello!

We are JImmy and Shana. We thank you for stopping by to read and view our profile! We are very excited to meet you, even through this letter. We want you to know that although we haven't met, we respect all the decisions that you make and support you. It takes a village to raise a child and we are all living in this village together! We hope that learning about us puts you at ease and paves the way to getting to know each other better. We understand that this is a difficult decision but hopefully this glimpse into our life will make it a bit easier. We hope that you will continue to read on to learn about us and join in on our journey.
