Jake & Brittany

Hi, we’re Brittany and Jake.

Thank you for taking the time to get to know us. We’d love to learn more about you as well.

We’re a fun-loving couple who finds joy in the little everyday moments just as much as in making memories together. From the very beginning of our relationship, we knew adoption would be part of our journey.

If chosen, we promise your child will grow up in a home filled with faith, love, laughter, and support. They will always know their story and how important you are to us.

Our Story

We met on a dating app during a time when we were both a little nervous to try again, but we’re so grateful we did. As we got to know each other, we quickly realized how many of the same values and dreams we shared, which only deepened our connection. We’ve both always felt called to adoption and wholeheartedly believe that is how we are meant to start our family. It means so much to us to open our hearts and share the love and life we’ve built with a child.

We’ve worked hard to build a life we’re proud of, leading with faith and intention. We love staying active, trying new hiking trails, and winding down together on the beautiful trail in our neighborhood—those quiet moments are our favorite. We truly value time with family and friends, and some of our best memories are simply being together. We also love sneaking away to our family beach house whenever we can for a quick weekend getaway. We are so lucky to have such a fun place within driving distance.

About Brittany

Jake says: Brittany is outgoing, warm, and has a natural ability to connect with just about anyone she meets. She brings energy and thoughtfulness into everything she does, whether it’s building relationships, making others feel comfortable, or creating a home that feels welcoming and full of life. Brittany leads with intention—she’s the kind of person who goes out of her way to make others feel seen, cared for, and included.

She loves hosting get-togethers and always makes sure there is something special and fun for everyone. She also does a great job decorating and truly making our house feel like a home. She has a strong love for fashion and design, and especially enjoys finding unique pieces and great deals you wouldn’t typically see in stores. She enjoys getting outside and going on walks. She also stays very active at the gym.

Brittany’s incredibly excited to become a mom and to create a home where our child feels supported, encouraged, and truly at home. She plans to only work 1-2 days a week after starting our family so she can be the most present mom possible.

About Jake

Brittany says: Jake is steady, kind, and deeply dedicated to the people around him. He leads our family with such strong faith and a genuine heart. As a firefighter, he’s passionate about helping others and takes a lot of pride in the work he does. He is also able to be home a lot with his “4 on 4 off” work schedule.

Outside of work, Jake loves to cook and is always finding new recipes to try—often turning it into something we get to enjoy together. He also has a passion for Martial Arts and has been a Muay Thai instructor for over 8 years and truly enjoys teaching and encouraging others to grow, both physically and mentally. That  has become another hobby we get to enjoy together.

Jake is the kind of person who shows up, stays calm, and leads with intention. He’s incredibly excited to become a dad and to guide, support, and be present for our child every step of the way

Family and Friends

The people in our life are a true reflection of God’s love and some of our biggest blessings. We’re surrounded by a close-knit family who shows up for one another in every season of life. We get together often, whether it’s Sunday dinners, holidays, birthdays, or simply gathering just because.

Together, we have 10 siblings, 8 nieces, and 8 nephews who fill our lives with so much joy and energy. We’re also incredibly blessed to have six living grandparents, along with all four of our parents and one stepparent who all remain very present and involved in our lives. We are also blessed to be considered an aunt and uncle to many of our best friends’ children.

Jake’s parents live 20 minutes from us, and my dad and stepmom live about 30 minutes away. Our other close friends and family also live fairly close from us in PA, MD and VA.

We love hosting, celebrating traditions, and creating meaningful moments together. There is always laughter, support, and love, and it’s something we are so grateful for and excited to share with our child.

Home & Everyday Life in Pennsylvania

We live in a charming, newly renovated 1920s home full of character. It is a craftsman-style home that includes 2 stories, 4 bedrooms and a newly renovated basement. We completed many of the renovations ourselves with the help of loved ones, which makes our home feel even more special.

Our home is in a quiet town filled with young families, where life feels calm, steady, and grounded. We’re surrounded by kind neighbors who often check in, share fresh vegetables, or compliment the work we’ve done, which makes our neighborhood feel especially welcoming.

Right behind our house is a walking trail, and we have a big backyard where we enjoy being outside. Some of our favorite moments are grilling, staying active, going for walks, or unwinding together.

We’ve created a home that feels warm, comfortable, and inviting—a place that truly does feel like home.

With Love and Grattitude

Thank you for allowing us to share a glimpse into our lives. We don’t take for granted how meaningful this moment is, and we have so much respect for the thought and care you are putting into your decision.

As a couple, we’ve built our life on showing up for one another, staying grounded in what matters most, and finding joy in the simple, meaningful parts of life. We’re excited to carry those values into parenthood.

We are keeping you in our thoughts and prayers, and trusting that God is guiding this journey in the way it’s meant to unfold.

We’d love to talk or answer any of your questions. Please call or text Lifetime at 1.800.923.6784.

In Closing

We are so thankful you took the time to get to know us. We admire you for considering adoption for your child, and feel honored to be part of this journey. Our promise is to raise a child in a home full of encouragement, opportunity, and unconditional love. They will always know who you are and how special you are to us. We are truly open to whatever level of contact and openness you are, and believe the more love for a child the better!
