Thank you for taking the time to read our story!

Our names are Katie and Jason and we are interested in adopting a child to expand our family! We have been happily married for several years and believe that children are an absolute blessing to our family. We have one young son, but we are hoping to expand our family. He loves Santa, using “tools” to fix things, and enjoys eating anything with cheese on it. He loves going to the Home Depot and playing with his cars. He is very sweet and we are so proud of him! We are a Chrisitan family and raise our son with these values in mind.

We are both teachers with advanced degrees and were born and raised in Maryland. We live in a large single family home in a rural setting with a big yard in one of the best school districts in Maryland! We have very nice neighbors and are only a short drive from a town.

Both sets of our parents live locally and we see them regularly. They are a valuable support system for us and are involved in our lives. Katie’s older sister lives nearby and we have a very close relationship. Jason’s brother, sister in law, niece and nephew recently moved out of state, but we keep in touch with them via phone/video chat. There is a great family that lives next door with similar aged children. Finally, we have a variety of friends that we connect with and many of whom have young children as well.

In our free time we enjoy playing golf, though we are still learning how to improve our game. We enjoy playing with our son and spending time with our families on the weekends. Our son likes to play in the backyard on the swing/playhouse, help us “drive” the tractor or help with yard work. We enjoy going to the library or local events on weekends. We live in the central Maryland area so we are close to a variety of activities and opportunities.

Hello mom, and thank you for taking some time to meet our family. You have, no doubt, a difficult choice before you, and we are so grateful that you are considering us as an option. We don’t know you yet, but we would like to get to know you. Let us tell you about our family. We are currently three; Liam (dad), Kensi (mom), and Nova (princess). We have always wanted a full family, but pregnancy with Nova was very difficult. We ourselves had a difficult choice; do we try for another pregnancy and risk mom or baby’s health, or do we adopt and attempt to navigate a family that is unconventional? Adoption won out. We believe that love does not always look like perfect fairy tale endings. We believe that sometimes, oftentimes, love costs the one who loves greatly, but love always has the best interest of another at heart. We decided that if there are mothers who are brave enough to yield their baby to another for the sake of the baby, then we could be brave enough to be a part of that love. We are tremendously excited to share our lives with another child. We know the love that Christ has for all his children. We are very involved in our church and close to our small group. We often are with them playing board games, roasting s’mores, or playing with our kids together. We love to go hiking, camping, anything outdoorsy, traveling, eating and making good food, and spending time together as a family. We are the parents who will love our children first and foremost, no matter what. We are the parents that will be at every game or event cheering our child on embarrassingly loud. We promise, as potential parents for your baby, to:
-Teach them about the love of Jesus.
-Spend quality family time together.
-Guide and correct them as they grow.
-Teach that there are consequences for our actions (both positive and negative).
-Lead by example by showing them how to be kind, love others, and serve.
-Embrace their heritage and learn about it together.
-Always ensure they feel wanted, loved, secure, valued, and needed.
And
-To teach them that we (Liam and Kensi) and you (mom reading this) love them so much that we created this relationship centered around them.
We know this is a difficult spot for you. We wish we could be there with you now and hugging you through this decision. If you decide to choose us, our first response will be praying and thanking the Lord for you. Your bravery and sacrifice will be appreciated and honored here. We promise to give everything we have to raise loving humans. We promise to keep educating ourselves to be the best parents. Most of all, we promise to love your baby with our entire heart for all of our lives. Thank-you for considering the Terry family.
