Hello! We’re Trevor and Jamie from central Ohio, and we’re deeply grateful that you’re taking a moment to get to know our family. More than anything, we want to thank YOU!—for your strength, for your heart, and for considering adoption as part of your journey. We know this isn’t an easy decision, and we have so much respect for the love and courage it takes to explore this path.
Our story together began in early 2017, and life has been full of love, laughter, and growth ever since. We moved in together later that year, bought our first home shortly after, and were married in 2020. From the very beginning, we’ve shared a dream of growing our family, and that shared hope has been a strong part of our bond over the last 8+ years.
In September 2022, we became parents to our daughter, Emerson, through adoption. Emerson joined our family at just six weeks old, and from the moment we met her, our hearts were forever changed. She is a joyful, spirited little girl with a big personality. She loves playing with our furry family members, constantly chatting with our 2 cats, and petting our 4 dogs. You will also catch Emerson dancing around the house with us and watching her favorite, Bluey! We just know that Emerson will love having a sibling or two and will be the best sister! Being her parents is a gift that we cherish every day, and we are so thankful for the open relationship we have with her birthparents—it’s a connection we treasure deeply.
We’re so excited to grow our family once again through adoption. Becoming parents has been the greatest joy of our lives, and we are ready—with open hearts and open arms—to welcome another child (or children) into our home. We know this is a deeply personal and emotional decision, and while we can’t fully understand everything you may be going through, we want you to know that we approach this journey with compassion, respect, and gratitude. We promise that your child will be surrounded by unconditional love, laughter, opportunity, and a strong, supportive community of family and friends.
Most importantly, we believe every child deserves to feel proud of who they are. While we may not fully understand every experience personally, we’re committed to learning, growing, listening, and building a loving home where children of any background feel seen, celebrated, supported, and connected to their culture and identity. They will always know their story, where they came from, and the deep love and courage that led to their adoption.
We would be honored to build a relationship with you that feels right for everyone involved—one built on honesty, respect, and care. We believe that openness can be a beautiful gift, and we’re committed to creating a connection that supports you and your child or children.
With love and gratitude,
Trevor & Jamie
