We respect, honor and cherish the opportunity while recognizing the gravity of your decision.
ABOUT US
OPPOSITES REALLY DO ATTRACT!
We make a great team! We have different backgrounds, different skills and different upbringings.We like different TV shows, different foods, one Coke-one Pepsi. However, because of those differences, we work really well together. Wendy is compassionate, empathetic, caring, thoughtful, and someone who will remember everything you said and can retell a conversation as it happened. Jason is reliable, methodical, organized and always active.
“We wish you strength and peace during this process.”
OUR HOME AND FAMILY
We reside in Northern Illinois, about 50 miles outside of Chicago. We’ve been in our current home almost 8 years and picked this home because of the beautiful forest preserve around our house. We live in a cul-de-sac with the preserve immediately behind our fence and surrounding the other houses, covering over 300 acres and over 2 miles of trails. As a family, we spend as much time as possible in and around the pool.
We have two living biological children. Carly is 15 and Nathan is 13.
Carly is a bundle of energy, always has been. She calls the pool her home because she loves to swim. Outside of swimming, she is a compassionate friend who demonstrates a high degree of empathy and loyalty.
Nathan is relaxed and maintains a more subtle personality with a dry and observant sense of humor. His interests are currently his competitive running teams, video games with friends, and coding club.
Dillon is our angel in heaven, who we lost during a tragic car accident while Wendy was pregnant. Through tragedy, we have learned to be the best parents possible for our children. We are reminded just how precious life is and the importance of giving to others. Every year, in Dillon's memory, our family chooses a non-profit to support. We have donated to children in Haiti, a local food pantry, to foster youth, and more. We often do random acts of kindness, which makes us feel so good and brings us even closer as a family. Dillon's light reminds us to love hard and spread that love wide. We are eager to share our love with another child.
