We are Jayme and Sara!

We are so very thankful for you in taking the time to read this letter from us to you!

Our names are Jayme and Sara and we have been together for eighteen years. We met in college and dated for four years before getting married. We are truly best friends and there is no one we can laugh with more and enjoy life with than each other.

Jayme owns his own business and Sara is a stay-at-home mom after previously being a 2nd grade teacher for nine years. We have been blessed with three beautiful sons named: Hudson, Harrison, and Hayes. They are SO thrilled to have another sibling. Our home is always loud, fun, and filled with excitement!

Our prayers are with you during this process. We cannot comprehend the decisions you are making and what you are going through. We do know though, that your decisions are being made from love and selflessness. It would be the highest honor to raise your child in our family and we would cherish every moment with them. It is so important for us to let you know that, from the very beginning, we will always teach your child that they came from an extremely brave woman who loves them very much. We are praying for peace for you as you make your decisions.

Adoption has touched our lives in many ways between friends and family and that has led us to desire to grow our family in this way. We feel led to adopt a baby girl and later a sister for her, as well. We are so thankful to live near our immediate family and many friends. They are our support team and will always be here to help guide and encourage us in creating our stable, loving, and fun environment for our children to grow up within.

We enjoy spending time together as a family… traveling (the beach and Walt Disney World are some of our favorite spots), spending time outdoors- swimming in our pool is a favorite and the older boys love hunting, fishing, and riding horses at our farm (the youngest likes riding around looking at the cows the best), getting together with our extended family often (both of our parents and siblings live within our area–our children have 5 cousins so far), watching our children in their extracurricular activities (soccer, baseball, horse riding) and celebrating holidays with yearly traditions, just to name a few.

Please know that we want to show unconditional love to all our children. If you choose us as parents, we promise to always put your child’s needs before our own. We would love to share photos/videos/letters of your child to ensure you that they are loved, safe, and happy. Your child would be raised in a home that has the priorities of faith, family, and friends. These are priorities in which we live our lives, as well as the foundation for our values and principles. There are no words to express the gratitude we would feel to raise your child. You will continue to be in our thoughts and prayers.

Love,
Jayme, Sara, Hudson, Harrison, & Hayes

About Us

The Story of Us…

Jayme and I have been married for 14 years and together for 18 years. We met through mutual friends while both attending college. After that first meeting, my friend asked me what I thought. I responded with “Well he’s cute but, he needs a haircut” (he was also working on an oil rig while going to college and just hadn’t had the time). It wasn’t long until I got a phone call saying he had gotten a trim and wanted to go out.

We have been pretty much inseparable ever since. After dating for four years we were married. Our wedding was the most beautiful day and it was surrounded by friends and family to celebrate with us. We went on a honeymoon to Jamaica that was awesome! We climbed a waterfall, snorkeled, ate delicious seafood, and just relaxed. Looking back now we especially treasure these carefree moments so much and are so glad we took the time for each other.

What We Love About Each Other

What Jayme Loves About Sara: What I love most about Sara is that she is the most selfless person I know. She is constantly serving others and always puts herself last. She always has a great attitude and loves our family more than anything in this world and lives her life with a spark that most people only wish they had. She is what every man looks for in a wife, she is supportive and encouraging to me as the leader of our home, and the best mother you could ask for our children. She is my whole world and life wouldn’t be worth living without her.

What Sara loves about Jayme: Jayme has one of the kindest souls I’ve ever met. He has a heart for people who are hurting, and nothing brings him greater joy than trying to do what he can for them. He is also extremely humble- you will never see him boasting about what he has done to others. He is an extremely hard worker- he is teaching our children daily what a wonderful example of dedication and determination looks like. He is THE best daddy and I love to watch him with our children. No matter how busy he is our kids are always his first priority and they know that. I wish you could hear the squeals every night when he gets home, and they are running to him at the door. Jayme is a loyal and loving husband and not only are we the best of friends but, we are equal teammates in parenting too. I am so incredibly thankful that he is always there to support me (and I vice versa) as we navigate this time together. After all these years together, I still get so excited that he is mine and I love him so very much!

We Love Each Other and Our Family

After 4 years enjoying married life we welcomed our first child, Hudson. This began a brand new chapter in our lives together…parents! It took some time to adjust to our new life and new roles but, we both have absolutely loved every minute of it.

When Hudson was 4 we welcomed his little brother, Harrison aka Harry. Learning to navigate from “man to man” to “zone defense” was a little more tricky than we thought but, it just took a little time and we had a handle on raising two kids. Two and a half years later came Hayes. Honestly, the hardest adjustment for us was going from one child to two so, Hayes got added to the mix and we kept right on rolling.

We love to spend time with one another the most…both as a family and a couple. Traveling is our absolute favorite! We look forward to making as many memories together as we can and try to remember to take pictures along the way. (Sara isn’t great at remembering to do that oops!)

We Spend Weekends and Holidays with Our Extended Family

We get together weekly with each side to catch up, usually eat, and let the kids play with their cousins.

We also take an annual trip camping with our extended families. Both sets of grandparents are very involved in our children’s lives and don’t ever miss a school function, sporting event, or anything that they are a part of. We know that they love our children so very much and are looking forward to loving our future addition, as well.

Our Family

Things We Enjoy…
We love being able to make memories together. At some point each week we always spend some time out at our farm that is about thirty minutes from our house. We have cows, horses, several fishing ponds, a farm dog named Lucy, and plenty of space to enjoy time outdoors.

We get together weekly with each side of our families to catch up, usually eat, and let the kids play with their cousins. We also take an annual trip camping in the summer with our extended families.

Each summer we also spend time at the beach with several close friends and their families. This is always a tradition that everyone looks forward to every year. Each Fall we love to go to go to a pumpkin patch (our local one has so many fun games and activities) and at Christmas time we are always looking for the best drive thru light displays. I also love to throw a “love party” for my family on Valentine’s Day. We play games and have a fancy dinner. Pretty much we really enjoy celebrating the seasonal holidays and think it adds a lot of fun throughout the year.

A new tradition we have just started is taking each child on a special trip with just them and mom and dad to a location they choose when they turn 10. Our oldest has selected New York City and his love for museums will really come in handy there! We can’t wait to spend time with just him and get to explore all that NYC has to offer. We know the memories made on these trips will last a lifetime.

Our Family…

After both of us growing up in areas without extended family, we feel so lucky that our parents live within five minutes of our home. It is a true joy to be able to have our children make so many memories with their grandparents, aunts and uncles, and cousins. Sara’s brother, John, and his wife live in our area and they have three young children. Jayme’s sister, Dana, and her husband also live near us, and they have two young children.
