Hello! We are Jacob and Liz, and we are honored that you are learning more about us. We know that considering adoption is extremely difficult, and we are holding you in love and light as you make the decision that’s best for you and your family.

If we had to describe our life in just three words, we’d call it fun, stable, and community-oriented. We have a large group of local friends and family, and we love to play games, make art, volunteer in our neighborhood, and spend time outside.

We have always wanted to be parents, and we chose adoption to grow our family early in our relationship. We can’t wait to bring our future kiddo to the playground, plant flowers in the backyard, and cheer on our favorite sports teams. We are especially excited to raise a second-generation Philadelphian!

The rest of this book gives a glimpse into the life that’s waiting for our future child. Thank you for considering us as part of your child’s family.
