Jeremy and Esther
We're looking to adopt a baby
Thank you for viewing our profile! We are Jeremy and Esther, and we hope that this glimpse into our lives will help you get to know us! One of our foundational beliefs is that amazing blessings are often forged out of difficult circumstances. We understand the gravity of your decision and are grateful and humbled to be considered.
In college, we were friends for several years before we started dating. As our friendship grew, so did our romantic feelings. We had mutual friends, and Esther hung out at Jeremy's family's house all the time! Esther asked Jeremy to work on school assignments together, thinking she was being covert, but he was on to her!
When we first started dating, people who didn't know us well were shocked because, at first glance, we seemed like oil and water. Esther is bubbly and loud, while Jeremy is quieter and reserved. Our personalities are different, but what grounds us is our shared sense of humor, interests, and values, such as honesty, self-sacrifice, hard work, and forgiveness. After a year of dating, we were married in 2013.
Esther battled misdiagnosed reproductive health. During this time, we were presented with options to help us conceive, but we were not interested in them---adoption was always in our hearts. As Esther's health made a complete turnaround, we knew it was the right time to pursue expanding our family.
We are excited to bring a child into our family through adoption. We believe one of the biggest reasons adoption has always been our path is because we are surrounded by loving families who have adoption in their stories. We know we have their support and can count on their help to navigate circumstances specific to adoption.
Financial Support
Expectant mothers who choose to make an adoption plan may qualify for some level of financial assistance during their pregnancy. However, each person's situation and specific needs are different. Your adoption social worker can help you determine what level of assistance you qualify for and deserve. Many expectant mothers qualify for financial assistance to cover basic pregnancy and living expenses, including but not limited to - transportation reimbursement, utility assistance for phone, water, and electricity/gas, maternity clothing and supplements, etc.

Navigating a pregnancy alone is never easy. Depending on your situation and location, you may qualify for financial assistance to help cover the cost of basic living expenses, such as food and groceries.
