Adam & JoLynn

Hello! Thank you for learning more about our family, we hope to connect with you more. We are hoping to add another child, twins, or sibling group to our family through adoption. We have everything ready in our home for any age newborn through a few years old, including having a bag packed for a newborn in case we need to leave the same day for the hospital.

As parents, we are very nurturing, meaning we will hold and snuggle your baby a lot to help them feel safe, and are very attentive and sensitive when it comes to parenting. We are attentive by finding out their interests, such as sports, music, reading, or things like cooking and then helping them spend more time doing the things THEY love. Your child will be very important in our family, and their needs will be prioritized, such as health, education, and teaching them about their heritage.

About Us (As told by JoLynn)

Adam and I met in middle school and started dating in high school. We are best friends and love to make each other laugh. We love to kayak, swim, watch our daughter play sports, and hang out on our hobby farm and around the house as a family jumping on the trampoline, playing in the sandbox, and watching our animals. As parents, our goal is to help our children grow into the best version of themselves.

I lead music at church and enjoy painting, going on walks outside, and photography. I am a stay-at-home mom and currently school our daughter at home. We would decide which school is best for our next child, based on what they need; we do not assume the same curriculum or style of learning will work for each child. There are several public and private schools we can choose from, along with schooling at home. For our daughter, if I am teaching her to spell, and the curriculum is not working for her learning style, then I research a different way for her to learn, so she has what is best for her to succeed and thrive. We are okay with our children doing the same thing for school, however, also will offer them different schools if that is best for them individually.

Adam is a very kind and gentle husband and father. He currently is a pastor and was in the military before that. He loves to read, and is a very caring person who spends most of his days caring for others. He goes to elderly people’s homes, hospital visits, and talks with people that are depressed, or struggling most days to encourage them. He has a no yelling rule in our home, and he does not raise his voice to us. This helps our home feel safe. Adam loves to read, joke around, and go for walks in the woods to clear trails on the land behind our house.

About JoLynn

I am very social, so we attend a lot of social events around town and travel a lot since we both have flexible schedules. I enjoy doing puzzles, planting flowers around our house that bring in butterflies and hummingbirds, and trying out healthier versions of homemade ice cream from fresh fruits, or chocolate peanut butter. I check on my family/friends often, and text our daughter’s birth family every holiday and special events that happen.

I used to work full-time and now work very limited part-time on occasion so that I can be a stay-at-home mom and put our family first. There is nothing I love more than being a stay-at-home parent, and love being a mom! I want our family to feel our home is a safe and a fun place to be, so I have spent time decorating it with cozy furniture and filled it with hobbies (books, piano, basketball hoop, painting supplies & a playhouse).

About Adam

Adam is an outdoorsy guy and loves to be outside, but also loves to read. He enjoys building things around our hobby farm, such as the playhouse, and takes care of our cows and goats. We have a plot of land in our backyard where he clears trails and plants apple trees and other food for the deer to eat. During his time in the military, he learned compassion on a new level and helps others through depression, and visits them when they are struggling. He chose to become a youth pastor and now pastors our church of around 100 people. They love him so much, and he knows each of them personally (gives them rides to airports, helps them when their house floods, and visits them in the hospital or at home after surgeries). Adam never raises his voice in our home; he is gentle and a great husband/father. He loves to hang out with our daughter, and I know he will give your child a lot of attention as well.

Our Home in Wisconsin

We live in the country, however, are close to a larger town that offers everything we need/want. There are many schools to choose from, endless parks, music, plays, and sports events to attend. With our daughter being multi-racial, it is important for her to play with friends who share her race, therefore we typically choose parks that have many children who are Hispanic or multi-racial.

We have a very large yard with a playset, trampoline, climber, sandbox, and more. We love to run around barefoot, listen to music, and play with our dog, Ivy. She is a very snuggly and loving dog.

Our church is nearby. The people there get together for bonfires, to have the kids play together and help each other when in need, such as making meals for each other if someone has a baby or is sick. There are several other adopted children within our church, so adoption is familiar. We also have added a spanish speaking group that meets at our church weekly, which our daughter loves, and we took her to their special event on Thanksgiving so she can experience speaking spanish in a larger group and for her to make connections with the kids there.

Our Daughter and Family

We adopted our daughter through Lifetime Adoption when she was two days old. We fell in love with her and her birthparents. We send them photos and videos through texting often, and have traveled to visit them as well. We prefer an open adoption so you can see your child or children are thriving with us, if you choose. We recently sent a package to her birth family with handmade art and bookmarks from her.

She is really loving and kind, and is looking forward to being a big sister. She loves taking care of little kids and holding babies.

We both have large families with cousins to play with, and both sets of grandparents live within 30 -45 minutes. They are involved in our lives, and we see them almost weekly. They are all supportive of this adoption and I know they will love any future children we have unconditionally.

Our Hearts' Promise

All three of us are thrilled and ready to welcome another child, twins, or sibling group into our family. We promise to always put our children’s needs before ours. We promise to love them fully and unconditionally. We will provide them with the best education path and schooling that fits their personal needs. We will teach them about their heritage. We will give them a safe environment, both physically and emotionally, and allow them to grow into the best version of themselves.

We look forward to spending time together at home eating popcorn and snuggling during movie nights, playground visits, fishing, adventures with family and friends, going to church, and traveling during vacations with them! We will fill their life with a balance of downtime and adventures on a daily basis. We promise to maintain contact with you in the future, if you choose, so you are secure that your baby/children are doing well with us and are thriving. We are praying for you and your child/children.

We would love to talk to you! If you would like to learn more about us, please call or text Lifetime at 1.800.923.6784.

In Closing

Thank you so much for considering us to raise your precious child. We promise to show your child love, and we understand that by caring for our family, we are also caring for your child, and will do everything we can to honor our commitment to you, and be thoughtful and intentional on how we raise them.
We both look forward to pouring our time, love, and affection into your child and our family. We are actively praying for you and your children or child and are excited to meet you both and to stay in contact, at your comfort level.
