Tim and Jen - Vergennes, Vermont

Dear Birthmom,

Thank you for taking the time to look at our profile. Although we haven't met, we have been praying for you and your baby for quite some time. We know that choosing the right family to adopt your baby is a hard decision to make, but we hope and pray that God will lead you in your choice.

Tim & Jen
We met 5 years ago at a wedding. Jen was the photographer and Tim, who was visiting from out of town, needed a ride to the church. We got chatting and noticed an evident connection. At the time Tim lived in the UK and Jen lived on the west coast of Canada, so we got to know each other in a less than conventional manner, through emails, cards and very long phone calls! 8 months later Jen moved to the UK and 3 months after that we were engaged. We were married a year later and are now celebrating our third anniversary.

We learned early on in our marriage that we were unable to have children. We would love to raise a family, and we feel that God has lead us to adoption as an answer to our prayers. Both of us grew up in loving homes with several children and we can't wait for the opportunity to be parents ourselves.

Our Jobs
We came to the USA 3 months after we were married when Tim was transferred to another division of his company. He is a software engineer, designing aircraft control units. It is quite complicated, but Tim enjoys it. The transfer greatly improved his opportunities for career development, and the industry is also looking at 30+ years of stability and growth.

Jen is a pre-school teacher in a Christian school. She teaches 10 3-year-olds, helping them learn about God and the Bible, as well as their ABC's & 123's and keeping them busy with many imaginative craft activities. Jen is also a photographer and has done several weddings and school portraits.

Hobbies
We love spending time together enjoying movies, cooking, going on walks, traveling, photography, playing games, seeing friends and family etc... We both have separate interest too. Tim loves sports (even though he is proud of being completely useless a them), and Jen loves thinking of and doing a whole variety of craft projects from scrapbooking to painting. We believe that a child has the potential to grow up to be anything they want and should be given the opportunity to pursue their hobbies, interests and dreams.

Values
We both have very traditional values. Both of us had a stay-at-home-mom, and believe that a parent being at home for a child's formative years is essential. In fact, Jen has dreamed of being able to stay at home and Tim's job gives us the opportunity for this.

We have no plan of home schooling, but if possible we will send our children to a Christian elementary school. We feel that social interaction with their peers to be very important for a child, but also that a solid grounding in their faith to be just as critical. We attend an Alliance Church, which offers several children's programs on Sundays, during the week and during the summer. We intend to bring our child up with the knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ, and give them as much opportunity as they need to make their own decision to accept Jesus as their Lord and Savior.

We are very excited at the prospect of being parents. We hope and pray that you find the right people to adopt your baby into their family. May God bless you in your choice.

Some words about Tim by Jen…
Tim is the kindest most loving person that I know. From the very beginning of our relationship he has taken care of me and looked out for me. Tim is really looking forward to reading bed-time stories to our children and being able to spend quite quality time with them. I know that Tim is going to be a great Dad!

Some words about Jen by Tim…
Jen is such a kind and loving person. She is a perfect match for me. Her maternal instincts are amazing - children respond to her and she always has a good understanding of their needs and how to relate to them. Jen has a strong self-less sense of family and I know that she'd be an awesome mommy.
