Jermaine & Lesley

Warm greetings from sunny South Carolina, where the summers are long and the winters are mild! We’re so excited for the chance to connect with you, hear your story, and understand what you’re looking for in adoptive parents for your child.

We cherish spending quality time together—whether it’s hosting family and friends, enjoying long walks, or having fun date nights at the theater, a great restaurant, or simply exploring something new.

We would be honored to hear your hopes for your child’s future. We can’t wait to meet you and begin this blessed journey together.

About Us

Our love story began with a blind date that turned into a lifelong promise. Nearly five years later, we wake up every day choosing each other.

Our journey has been one of adventure and resilience — from exchanging vows during the pandemic to traveling the world and navigating fertility challenges. Adoption feels like the perfect way to grow our family, and we’re ready to share our love and lives with a child.

We’ve built a beautiful life filled with faith, laughter, and love. At the heart of our home is a love that will nurture, support, and celebrate our child every step of the way. We can’t wait to welcome a little one into our family and raise them in a home where they’re cherished, supported, and free to dream big.

About Lesley

I’m a corporate marketing leader with a passion for creative writing, fashion, decorating, and singing. A girly girl and girl boss at heart, I love expressing myself through style and embracing life with faith, fun, and adventure. Whether I’m traveling, singing, dancing or finding moments to relax, I live life to the fullest and cherish time with my husband, family, and lifelong friends.

My sister is my best friend, and I’m a proud mama’s girl who values the deep bonds we share. Known as the “inspirational one” among my circles, I’m all about positivity and encouragement. I love getting lost in rom-coms and action thrillers, and collecting coffee mugs on my travels—a quirky obsession everyone loves teasing me about.

Being “Hontie” to my nieces and nephews and “LeLe” to my godchildren fills my heart with joy, and I love encouraging and celebrating who they are. Becoming a mom has always been my dream, and I can’t wait to share my love, creativity, and joy-filled life with a little one.

About Jermaine

I’m a realtor with a love for history, science, films, theater, museums, and exploring new places. An early riser, I stay active with workouts, runs, or bike rides to keep my energy up all day. I’m passionate about traveling, immersing myself in culture, and enjoying long walks through parks or downtown streets.

At home, I bring creativity to life in the kitchen, whipping up gourmet meals for my wife, family, and friends. I love hosting gatherings, sharing laughs, and making memories. I’m also an avid reader, drawn to books on entrepreneurship and personal growth, always eager to learn and evolve.

At heart, I’m easygoing, fun-loving, and a believer in the power of laughter to brighten life. Becoming a dad fills me with excitement and gratitude—I can’t wait to share love, laughter, and life’s lessons with our child. I’m honored by the opportunity to create a home full of warmth, support, and joy.

Our Family

Family has always been at the heart of our relationship, grounding us in faith, love, and support. Our mothers live nearby, and we see them weekly, while our siblings, both local and out-of-state, are a regular part of our lives. One of our fathers lives out of state and we cherish our connection with him.

Alongside our family, we have a strong circle of friends who have truly become family. Together, they form a vibrant, loving village that surrounds us with unwavering support. Whether it’s holidays or everyday moments, our village comes together for laughter, shared stories, and connection. Everyone—from our parents to siblings to lifelong friends—is eagerly waiting to welcome a new baby into this circle of love. We are overjoyed to share this incredible community with our child.

Our Home in South Carolina

Our warm, faith-filled home is built on kindness, respect, and open communication. With three bedrooms, plenty of outdoor space, and a privacy fence, it’s a secure and inviting place to grow, play, and relax.

Located near parks, the children’s museum, and downtown attractions, our home makes family outings easy and fun. Our welcoming neighborhood feels like family—especially during the holidays when we enjoy gift-swapping with neighbors as a festive tradition.

Faith is central to our lives, and Sunday worship is a time for reflection and connection. We love giving back through community projects and charity events. Weekends are for slowing down, savoring the little things like our breakfast favorites, enjoying park walks, and strolling downtown.

Our home is filled with love, flexibility, and excitement to embrace the joy a child will bring.

Our Promise

We trust in God’s promises and are filled with hope as we prepare to become parents through adoption—a beautiful blessing we deeply honor. We promise to provide a loving, nurturing, and joyful home where your child will feel cherished, confident, and supported as they grow.

This is a journey we will not take lightly. We promise to dedicate our lives to giving our child the love, guidance, and opportunities they deserve. Our commitment is to prioritize their well-being, nurture their self-esteem, and create a life filled with love, laughter, and possibilities.

We are open to maintaining a connection with you through pictures, updates, and as much contact as you feel comfortable with, ensuring you remain a meaningful part of their story. It would be our greatest joy and privilege to share this incredible path with you.

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

Warmly,
Lesley & Jermaine
