Post Adoption Contact / Level of Openness

Open (open to all contact, phone calls, an in person visit before adoption placement, sharing photos and letters after placement, visits at a neutral location after adoption placement etc)
If you want a more closed adoption, we would honor that request as well.

This family is working with the Gladney Center because of the services they are able to provide for expectant parents. If you work with Gladney as an expectant parent you can receive these services for free:
* A Caseworker to work with you throughout your pregnancy
* Counseling
* Medical Care
* Maternity-related financial support
* Legal services
* Lifelong support through a Post Adoption team.

We cook at home, from scratch, most nights. It's an activity that we do as a family, and we feel it brings us closer together.

We enjoy watching live sporting events whenever we get the chance. We can't wait to sing, "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" with our child!

We love spending time with family - and we have a big one!

We love to go to the beach to play (especially Oliver)! When we go, we often bring games like bocce, play soccer with Oliver, and splash in the waves.

We have rescued, rehabilitated, and adopted-out 5 dogs, and are supporters of dog rescues in various cities. We care for all of God's creatures!

We grew up skiing and plan to introduce our children to skiing and winter sports as soon as they are big enough!

Getting on the ferry in Italy to go to our favorite Italian mediterranean island! Jess's sister met up with us for a visit!

On the terrace of the villa we stayed at this past summer for two weeks in Italy. We lived in Italy for 3 years with the military and were so happy to show Gigi around our favorite place!
