amazing day of our lives (to see your baby), could be a very difficult
day for you, so behind every thought in this book is empathy and
gratitude. Know that youare respected and appreciated, because, with
adoption, youare giving amiracle to another family.We can only pray
and hope that you choose our family, and that this book gives you the
utmost confidence thatwewould provide an amazing, loving, stable,
and adventurous life for your child. Nomatter what your decision is,
wewant youand your baby to be happy, cared for, and be at peace.
Love, Jenny & Colton
The greatest desire in my life, since I was a
little girl, has been to be a mother to many
children. I always knew that I wanted to
adopt, it has been an innate instinct. God
has blessed me with my son, Colton. I know
that the best decision I could ever make is
to give him a sibling to grow up with. For the
past few years, I have put my time and
energy into IUI and IVF treatments. Sadly,
these treatments were unsuccessful. It made
me very emotional to think I would not be
able to have another child and give Colton a
little brother or sister. I had 3 siblings to
grow up with, and I appreciate my childhood
so much because I had playmates, laughter,
and adventure in my home every day. I long
for the same experience for Colton and your
baby.
Choosing Adoption
Hi, I 'm JennyMore than anything else in the world, I value faith,
family, and love. I come from a very close and very
loving family. My parents have been married for over
40 years. They raised my 3 brothers and me with
strong morals and values: honesty, kindness,
perseverance, and unconditional love. I continue to live
my life and raise Colton with those same values.
I am a very happy, caring, humble, and loving person.
I've learned to appreciate everything, and take nothing
for granted. I try my best to always give back to
others. I'm ready to help, whether somebody needs
someone to listen, a shoulder to cry on, or advice. I find
joy in bringing happiness to people.
I have always been very competitive and driven.
Throughout college, I was Valedictorian and Summa
Cum Laude. I also was an All-American and Hall of
Fame Collegiate Division 1 athlete (basketball). I love
sports and would love to share this passion with your
little one.
For the past 17 years, I have worked for a giant
telecom company. I am a Managing Partner and run a
Technology Enterprise sales division....all from my
home office. I love my job because it allows me to be a
mom first, and a strong businesswoman. I promise that
your child will grow up in a financially stable home and
will never have to worry about lack of resources.
Becoming a mother has been the greatest blessing in
my life. I cannot imagine my life without Colton. My
biggest dream is to have another child to love and
nurture for the rest of my life.

Meet Colton
Colton is my 2 ½ year old son and
best friend. He is so full of life, loving,
playful, and kind. His favorite things
to do are going to zoo’s, playing at
the park, watching the airplanes at
our small local airport, taking night
walks to follow the moon and the
stars, playing in a pool, playing with
his cousins, molding playdough, and
arts and crafts. Colton loves to be
around people, especially other
babies and children. I am so excited
to continue to watch him learn and
grow!
Our Puppy, JaxJax is our new little puppy. He is
a 3-month-old, 6 pound, toy
golden doodle. Jax will not get
bigger than 15 pounds. I
searched long and hard for a
calm dog that would be great
with children, gentle, and not
shed in the house, and Jax lives
up to all of those traits! Colton
loves Jax so much. We all play in
the yard, take walks daily, and
go to the park. Jax loves to
spend time on my family farm.
He also likes to snuggle on the
couch. I found the best dog
ever!!
Atlanta, Georgia.... Our Home
Our Home:We live in a 2-story 4-bedroom home with a huge deck and screened-in porch. Our
backyard has a 6 foot privacy fence and is the perfect play area for kids and puppies!
Any store, doctor, or hospital that we would ever need is within 3-5 miles away. Our
neighborhood is safe, clean, and surrounded by good families with small children.
Our Community:We live about 6 miles from the heart of downtown, the best city....Atlanta, Georgia! There
is so much to see and do here. Atlanta has the largest Aquarium in the country, a
beautiful zoo, fabulous parks and children's museums , and kids events all year long.
Several huge lakes and mountains are a 30 minute drive, and the ocean is 5 hours away.
Southern hospitality is real, everyone is so kind! Georgia also has great weather; Colton
gets to enjoy the outdoors about 10/12 months a year here.
My favorite thing in the entire world is
being withmy family.My extended
family is huge! Both ofmy parents have
12 siblings each, and all of their siblings
have several children. Colton has over
100 cousins to playwith!! I have 3
brothers and they each have 2 children,
ranging from ages 3-13,.We see our
family eachmonth and Facetime daily.
My entire family is so incredibly excited
to meet your precious child and to love
him or her to the fullest.
We spend lots of time in Kentuckywithmy family.Mymom is my absolute best adult friend in the
entire world and we talk every day. She is wonderful with children and the grandkids adore her! She
is like a true child whisperer. My parents have a house in Louisville, Kentucky and a farm house in
the country. At the farm,we spend time around our cows and horses, go on hay rides, camp out
under the stars, roastmarshmellows in the fire, ride 4-wheelers, play in the pool, and explore the
woods and nature.
Every day we make it a point to see and experience new things together.
Colton has a ton of energy....and so do I! We are constantly playing inside
or outside. We love to take small day trips around town, be outdoors, and
Colton is always thrilled to go see animals.
Erin is a close family friend and a fantastic helper with Colton. I am so lucky to
be able to work from home and am grateful that Colton does not have to go to
a daycare. I love having Erin come over because Colton gets to sleep in, spend
the day at home around his toys, play with the neighborhood kids, and keeps a
routine. I know Colton is safe every day, has excellent care, and I get to have
meals every day with my child.
Erin absolutely adores children. She is so very kind, patient, and gentle with
them. She is very interactive with Colton, and they are always having fun.
While I'm working, I can hear her educating him on numbers, the alphabet, and
animals. They also play together, do arts and crafts, read, and explore. When
the weather is nice out, Erin takes Colton to the park to play with other children.
Erin has become a part of our family, and we love her very much. She is just as
excited as we are about adopting a child. She cannot wait to meet him or her
and have another baby to love.

Motto's We Live By.....
Faith and Family Comes First
We are truly blessed to have a fantastic large and loving extended family. We
spend as much time as possible with them. Colton and your baby will grow up
surrounded by a supportive family and will see the value of family and faith.
Work Hard, Play Hard
I work really hard so that Colton and I can play really hard. I want him and your
child to have the best life possible. I will teach them the value of hard work and the
rewards that follow. Most importantly, I will show them what it means to be humble
in the face of success.
Be a Giver, Not a Taker
Life is about being selfless - not selfish, about giving more than you receive, and
putting others first. It is about recognizing the needs of those around you and
reaching out to help. Being a giver is listening more and talking less, complimenting
not criticizing, and forgiving without judging.
Investment in Mind and Body
Education is the key to making dreams come true. Colton and your child will have
every opportunity to learn, grow, and succeed. Living a healthy life is very
important too. I cook healthy home-cooked meals every day. They will also grow up
learning how to make healthy choices.
Laugh with Every Breath
Laughter is the key to life, and Colton and your child will find the joy in the smallest
things, appreciate everything, and find moments to laugh even during the tough
times. We will laugh as much as possible every day.
Our Promise to You.....Thank you from the bottom of my heart for considering us. Please know
that I will devote my life to providing your child with unconditional love,
the best education, and financial stability. As a mother, I promise you
that your child will know how much they are loved by you and that you
made the ultimate selfless decision to give them a better life. He/she will
have the best big brother in Colton, a very loving and attentive mother,
fantastic grandparents and cousins, and the sweetest puppy to grow up
with. I promise that your child will be raised in a home full of laughter,
fun, and where they feel the love of God and family every day. There are
not enough words to express my gratitude to you. Whatever you
decide, I wish you the very best and happiness ahead.
With Love, Jenny & Colton
