Hoping to Adopt (Nebraska)

Letter

Dear Expectant Parent


Our greatest joy is when we are with family and friends.


Dear Expectant Parent
Our first Christmas with our rescue dog, Charlie
Dear Expectant Parent,

We are deeply honored that you are taking the time to read through our adoption profile. We recognize the journey you are taking and honor your strength. We value human connection and know that a book of words can only give a glimpse into who we are. However, we want you to know that we value partnership and will work with you as much as we are able to support your child’s unique history.

We understand you may have traditions and experiences and want you to know they would be brought into our family. We are a family that loves to laugh and celebrate. Our greatest joy is when we are with family and friends.

Adoption is a natural choice for us. We will love your child and embrace them for who they are as they grow up. We know your child may join our family having cultural connections, a history, and we want to assure you that we will support the unique identities of your child so they know their story and how much they are loved.

Thank you again for reading our profile and we honor the decision you are making for your child.

Love, Braden & Jordan
Our Why

we both have a natural instinct to care for and attend to the needs of children.


Our Why
Here we are celebrating our niece's first birthday!
We are both educators and absolutely love spending time with our loved one’s children. Not to mention, we are really good at sharing our goldfish crackers (and other snacks)!

We play an active role in our niece and nephew’s lives, in addition to god sons and other family friends. Whether we are watching our nephew play sports on the weekend, or making animal noises for a friend’s toddler at a restaurant, we both have a natural instinct to care for and attend to the needs of children.

Early on when we started dating we realized we shared a common goal of having a family. As we grew together and eventually married, we realized that adoption was the only route for us, even going so far as asking guests at our wedding to share a note to our future child or children.

All of this brings us to now where we are excited and willing to bring a child into our home and show them all the love and support we have to offer.
Our Daily Life

The love from future aunts, uncles, and grandparents will be a central part of our child’s life and the support will always be there.


Our Daily Life
Even when we're cold, we have a blast together!
We enjoy the simple things in life. Walking our dog, Charlie, cooking dinner, and wearing sweatpants. But seriously, we are lucky to have a dog like Charlie who is calm, patient, and just a little bit silly to keep us on our toes. When we aren’t walking her, we like to be with friends, share great food, play board games, and find ways to make our old house more comfortable and relaxing for us and anyone who comes around.

That feeling of acceptance extends to our families as well. Both of our immediate and extended families are giddy to add another member that they can dote on, see grow, and support as they become whoever they want to be. The love from future aunts, uncles, and grandparents will be a central part of our child’s life and the support will always be there.
Our Promise

we can promise that we will put your child and their needs first.


Our Promise
We enjoy the outdoors and hiking whenever we can
Thank you so much for taking the time to look at our profile. We recognize how difficult this decision is and want you to know that we intend for this process to be an ongoing partnership. We won’t always be perfect and we will make mistakes, but every decision we make will be guided by love. While we cannot promise we will have all the answers, we can promise that we will put your child and their needs first.

Our goal is to expose your child to their culture, traditions, and identities, and will ask for support from others in our community who share similar identities. Your child will come to us with questions about who they are and who you are. We promise to embrace those conversations and to never lie about how they came to be a part of our family. We promise to communicate with you based on what is agreed upon, and will provide you honesty and truth.

Thank you again from the bottom of our hearts for considering us.

Love, Braden & Jordan
