More Info

Alex

I have been a manager with Panera for almost 10 years and really enjoy my job. I am a life long Kansas City Chiefs and Royals fan. I love spending time with my son, hiking, camping, and outdoor cooking. I also enjoy traveling, usually to national parks or some sort of cool outdoors attraction. I am very excited to grow our little family.

Jennifer

I have been an elementary school teacher for a decade and I love working with kids. We adopted almost two years ago and I love being a mom. I am in a writing club and I love to read. I am the silly parent but I also know how to be firm from my years of teaching. I look forward to adopting one more child to complete our family.

Qualified for Adoption

Hello! Our names are Alex and Jenny.
We adopted our son, who is now two, and we are excited to grow our family again. We live in Kansas City, MO with our son Theo and our three dogs. We are close to downtown, but we still see deer in our backyard. Alex is the general manager of a restaurant close to our house and Jenny teaches 6th grade in the public school system. We value education and we believe in treating others as you want to be treated. We enjoy traveling and spending time outdoors hiking with our three dogs. We can’t wait to parent another child; we have so much love to give. We have an amazing support system of family and friends that are so excited to have a new little one to love on. Thanks for taking the time to consider us!

Our Family

We adopted Theo and were honored to be in the hospital when he was born. We have an open adoption with his birth-mother and she is supportive of us adopting again. Theo will be two this summer and we know that he will be a good big brother. He loves to help and is very interested in the babies at church.

Alex’s family includes his parents, younger brother, and our nephew Aiden, who is 7. They all live an hour and a half away and we try to get together every couple months. We spend all of the holidays and birthdays together. We like to watch the local Kansas City sports teams play, whether it’s football, soccer, or minor league hockey! One of Alex’s family traditions is dressing up as clowns for the county fair. This is a tradition Alex’s grandfather started in the 1940’s. Alex’s parents are very excited about having a new grandchild to spoil.

Jenny’s family also can’t wait for a new grand baby. Jenny’s parents have five grandchildren already, (Malachi 18, Quinn 6, Elias 4, Della 2, Theo 2)
who call them Papa and Ama. Jenny’s three younger siblings are located in Missouri, Arkansas, and Kansas. We really enjoy any time we can spend with them, like Thanksgiving and our New Year’s gathering at our house. Jenny’s parents have an amazing deck and backyard and like to host summer gatherings. One tradition that Jenny’s family has is Friday night karaoke. She has a big, loud family who are singers and storytellers. When we visit, we always eat too much and play lots of games.

Our Favorite Things

We really enjoy traveling. We usually camp and hike on our trips, especially if there are waterfalls in the area! We took Theo tent-camping in three national parks last summer and had a blast!

We also love hosting family events at our house because we like to gather everyone together and feed them. Both of us are good cooks. Alex handles the grill and Jenny bakes desserts and bread. Theo loves to help in the kitchen and we can’t wait to share our love of making good food with another child.

Our Promise

We hope this has given you an idea of the kind of life we can offer a child. If you choose us to parent your child, we promise to love your child unconditionally, keep them safe, and encourage them in all that they do. We would love to include you in the child’s life in any way that you would like, whether that means pictures, frequent visits or anything in between.
