Jon & Ashlee

Hello from sweet home Alabama! We are Jon and Ashlee and are excited to welcome a little one into our home! We love to travel and explore new places, but our favorite destination is the beach. We are foodies and love to find new, local restaurants to check out. We enjoy spending quality time together and the holidays are our favorite time of the year. We look forward to creating many happy memories together as a family of three! We have a cute little rescue dog named Lila Blue, so make that four. 😊

We are thankful you are here on our page and look forward to getting to know more about you! Please feel free to reach out and we are excited to chat with you soon!

About Us

We are so thankful for each other and have been married for almost 11 years. We met through mutual friends at a homecoming game, and the rest is history! We got engaged at the beach, then a few months later we got married under a big oak tree in the fall.

Things we like to do together:

• DIY projects
• Finding new local restaurants to check out around our city
• Traveling
• Going to concerts, football games or the ballet

Meet Ashlee

Hey there! I am really excited to get to know you and be there for you during your pregnancy. As our child grows up, I look forward to watching them achieve their dreams and goals. I will love and support them and help guide them through. I am excited to be a Mom!

I have a degree in elementary education and have a big heart and patience for little kiddos! These days I work in the wedding industry and enjoy helping brides with wedding plans. I also have a blog sharing my love of DIYs and home décor. I work from home and have a flexible schedule, so I will be a stay-at-home mom. I’m excited to plan fun family activities and family vacations.

A few of my hobbies:

• Photography
• Crafts and DIY projects around the house
• Baking (I love to bake homemade bread!)
• Music
• Dance

Meet the Family

We have a large, loving extended family that we enjoy spending time with. Our whole family is excited about our plans to adopt and look forward to being a part of our child’s life. We have family in Alabama, Arizona, Georgia, Illinois, Mississippi, and Ohio.

There are a lot of nieces and nephews that are excited about a new cousin! We have six nephews that range in age from eighteen to three years old. There are four nieces that are thirteen to one years old!  The younger children (ages 1, 3 and 5) live nearby, and our child will grow up close in age with them. The teenagers are super cool and will be great role models, too!

We love get-togethers with family and have a relaxed atmosphere where everyone enjoys being together. We get together monthly with family that live nearby and go to the Splash Pad, the pool and playground. For our family that lives farther away, we love to see them at Thanksgiving when everyone comes together. We keep in touch regularly through FaceTime and phone calls with them.

Our Home in Sweet Home Alabama

Our home is warm and inviting and located in a safe neighborhood. Our neighbors are friendly and there are a lot of kids that play together outside. We have put a lot of time and energy into updating our home, which is zoned for one of the top school districts in our state for the best education possible. We enjoy walking around the neighborhood with our dog, Lila Blue.

Our home is a cozy one-story ranch style house and includes:

We have a spacious, fenced in backyard with lots of room to run and play outside. There is a swing set in our backyard, a patio for grilling out, and a screened in back porch. There is a local park, schools, restaurants, churches and a community playground nearby.

Our neighborhood has a fun tradition on Halloween! The local fire department drives a fire truck into the neighborhood and all the children and families meet at the entrance. The children get to trick-or-treat from the firetruck and then they have a parade down the street, and it kicks off trick-or-treating!

Our Promise to You

If you choose us to adopt your child, we will love him or her and give them a nurturing home filled with love, happiness, peace and security. We promise to support your child and always be there for them. We promise to be patient and provide a safe, stable, loving home for your child to grow up in. We will take your child to church and teach him or her about God’s love for them. We promise to instill a heart for others and teach them about kindness and respect. We will give him or her all the opportunities possible and take vacations together. We will help him or her find their purpose. We will help them with their education. We will enroll him or her in dance lessons, basketball, or other sports/hobbies they are interested in pursuing. Your child will know how loved and cherished they are.

We will share their adoption story and they will grow up knowing how deep your love is for them. You will be an important part of our family! We are open to phone calls, occasional visits, and sharing pictures and letters with you. We are happy to chat about the level of contact you desire.
