dear F R I E N D
ENJOYING THE BEAUTIFUL VIEW
ON A HIKE NEAR OUR HOME.
We can’t wait to take our children on lots
of hikes and camping trips!
Words can hardly express the gratitude that we have for you and your willingness to
share the gift of life. We truly admire your love, courage, and selflessness and realize
you are about to make one of the biggest decisions of your life.
Our hope is that as you read this, you’ll get a strong sense of our life together, and
who we are as individuals and what we can offer your child. We are very much
in love and have been best friends for the past eleven years that we have been
together. We are excited to begin the next chapter of our lives by welcoming a new
child into our family whom we can shower with love.
Our wedding day
We hope what you read here will give you comfort and peace in your choice,
and hopefully we will be the family you dream of for your child.
WITH GRATITUDE AND ADMIRATION,
Sara & Jason
Date night out to dinner together
our J O U R N E Y
Our story began in 2004 when we first met
each other at work. Sara was transferred to
Jason’s office and funny enough there was no
magic spark between us at first. You see, we’re
both perfectionists, and let’s just say Jason didn’t
appreciate the new competition! Jokes aside,
although we had a few minor tiffs initially, we
began warming up to each other quickly and soon
went out on our first date. That first date was very
special and our relationship began to blossom.
We got engaged in 2005 at Disneyland and
we have been absolutely inseparable ever
since!
Looking back on the last eight years we’ve been
married, we’ve had many adventures together,
shared amazing experiences, have had the
chance to discover our passions and solidify our
careers, and most of all strengthen our love for
each other. We truly are best friends and make
an amazing team. We can be doing absolutely
nothing and still have fun just holding hands
and spending quality time with each other.

on them later!) an amazing grandmother, three uncles, seven
aunts, and twelve cousins. My parents have been married
for over forty years and are still going strong! Having been
married as long as they have has helped me learn a lot about
relationships, most importantly in understanding what true love is
and the importance of a strong family. Sara meeting Minnie Mouse
Sara loves her job
I graduated with my bachelors and masters degrees with
honors here in Los Angeles. After ten years of working as a
financial advisor I decided to fulfill my dream of starting an
event planning company. Fortunately my work schedule is
very flexible and will allow me to spend a lot of quality time
with our child. Although my career has provided me a lot of
happiness I am eagerly looking forward to becoming a mother
and nurturing our child with Jason.

JA SO N on SA R A
Sara is the WARMEST, MOST LOVING,
COMPASSIONATE and GENUINE PERSON
I know. She always puts others ahead of herself
and will go to any length to make sure everyone
is happy, even if it means sacrificing herself. I am
blessed to be able to call her my wife and can’t
express how fortunate I feel to be her husband.
Sara is exceptionally wonderful with children,
and I know she will be a wonderful mother. You
should see how she glows whenever we’re with
our friends’ children and how much they adore her.
Sara was meant to be a mother and our child will
always feel her unconditional love and support.

Helped raise guide dog puppies
for the blind when he was a kid.
Loves to cook and dreams of
opening a restaurant one
day.
Enjoys landscaping our
home and loves nature.
Favorite films are Star Trek, Star
Wars, and Lord of the Rings
(can you tell he’s into sci-fi?) but also
enjoys family films and comedy.
Favorite food is Mediterranean
and Italian, he loves to BBQ!
After graduating high school I moved back to southern California
to attend college and it was during my college years that I met
Sara. My life hasn’t been the same ever since!
I studied business finance and began my career in banking while
going to school. I continue to work in the finance field and now
specialize in residential lending. Fortunately my work schedule
is very flexible and will allow me to spend quality time with our
child.
Jason is going to be a great dad!
Playing with our niece
I come from a very loving and supporting family. My dad, two
brothers and nephew still live in the northwest and we visit each
other several times a year. I have an aunt, uncle, and three cousins
who live very close to us and we celebrate holidays together. I
have a grandmother, three aunts, and five cousins who live in
Europe. Sara and I try to visit them and travel to Europe as often
as we can.
I feel fortunate to have had a very happy childhood, filled with
fun family gatherings, camping trips, backyard parties and lots
of amazing food! (thanks Mom!!). I always had pet dogs while
growing up and I want our child to love animals just like I do!

SA R A on JA SO N
Jason is the LOVE OF MY LIFE. Since we first
met I have loved to see how passionate he is
about life and how limitless his love is, especially
towards me. He has the biggest heart of anyone
I know. Jason absolutely adores children and
always talks about the things we’ll do together
as a family and all the places he wants to take
them once we’re parents. There’s no doubt in my
mind he will be a wonderful father and I can’t
wait to share all the joys of parenthood with
him. I truly feel blessed to have found such a
wonderful husband and best friend in Jason; my
life truly wouldn’t be complete without him.

HOME
FAMILY
Family is the most important thing in our lives

Birthday
We specifically chose a home located in the best school district of
Los Angeles so our children could get the highest quality education
within walking distance from our home. The neighborhood is very kid
friendly, and there are two wonderful parks with playgrounds just 3
blocks away. Jason makes sure our yards are lush, green and as kid-friendly as
possible. We have a big and beautiful backyard full of mature trees,
lots of grass, a rose garden, orange and lemon trees, tomatoes and
an herb garden. We have tried to make our home a fun place to raise
children and a place of love, joy, and relaxation for us as well. YOUR
CHILD WILL HAVE SO MANY OPPORTUNITIES TO PLAY, LEARN
AND GROW.

We believe there’s nothing more important than family and
the traditions that hold us together. We are both extremely
fortunate to come from very affectionate families sharing a
strong sense of togetherness, and unconditional love. Most
of our family lives within 30 minutes of our home. In fact, our
child will have grandparents who live a block away.
Because we live so close to each other we’re always at
each other’s homes laughing, cooking and spending lots
of quality time together. This closeness allows our families to
stay tightly connected and to always be there for each other.
We love celebrating holidays and special occasions at each
other’s homes.
Sara’s parents and sister
Our niece and nephew, Lucy and Max, are the

our PROM I S E
THINGS
A
to do...
We enjoy the simple things in life such as
spending time in nature, good music, amazing
food, traveling and most of all spending quality
time with our family. Our favorite hangout is a
local French bakery/café where we’ll sit, order
espresso and chat for hours.
s parents we will be a constant source
of love, support and guidance for your
child. Your child will live a happy and
healthy lifestyle. We will always provide a warm,
safe and loving environment for him or her to
grow and thrive. Education is very important to
us, we will provide for a college education and
encourage them to set goals and accomplish
their dreams. 1.
Our ideal vacation is going to Oahu or Maui,
relaxing at a resort near the pool, jet skiing,
snorkeling with dolphins, going to restaurants
on the beach, and enjoying beautiful sunsets
together.
Thank you for getting to know us
CAPTIONS:

Disneyland!
We love anything to do with Disney,
cartoons and animation. We’ve talked
so many times of how fun and amazing
it will be going to Disneyland with our
own kids. Hopefully we’ll be able to
fulfill that dream soon, we can’t wait!

From the very beginning we knew and hoped
children would be a large part of our lives. We’re
at a point in life now where we know it’s the right
time for us to take the next major step forward
and finally have a happy home with a child. The
traditional method hasn’t worked for us, but we
believe it’s for a special reason, so that we can
adopt a little baby who deserves all the love and
nurturing we have to offer. We are excited and
looking forward to have our dream come true!
There are many things that come to mind when we
envision our family: hugs and snuggles; bedtime
stories; dinner together as a family; going to the
park and zoo; family vacations and day trips;
family get-togethers, celebrating holidays and
birthdays; and lots and lots of trips to Disneyland!
Our hearts, home, families, and friends are all
waiting with open arms for a little one to arrive
into this world and into our lives. We assure you
that given an opportunity your child will be raised
in a home filled with love and laughter. We
promise that we will do everything that we can
as parents to live up to the hopes and dreams
that you have for your child.
We can’t wait to be parents!
From the bottom of our hearts we want to THANK YOU
for considering us as adoptive parents for your child. We
hope we showed you a picture of who we are and more
importantly, who we hope to be as parents.
