Our Story


We began dating in 2003, and joined our lives and families on May 20, 2006. After high school Morgan attended Texas A&M from 2001-2003, and Jeff attended University of Houston from 2006-2009 and received his Bachelors in Healthcare Administration. We then began our family by adopting a beautiful biracial baby boy who we named Lucas. He brings joy to our world!!

Our number one priority is our relationship with Christ and raising our children to know His love for them. We also want our children to know they are supported and loved in all their decisions and dreams.

A little about Lucas

All About Lucas...the lively, loud, and most loving boy!
Lucas joined our family November 3, 2009. He turned our lives upside down and at the same time taught us to love like we never thought possible.



Lucas is a biracial child and we are hoping to find another biracial or African American baby for Lucas to connect and grow with.

Our Home

Our home is 2,000 square feet and is located in a neighborhood with a pool and three parks. We also have two other children on our street who are adopted! Each of our children will have their own room.



Our Families

Our families have been touched in so many ways through adoption. We have family members who are adoptees and also those who have blessed other families with their children, making adoption close to our hearts.
They are energetic, loving, and supportive, this is our family. We all live rather close to one another and spend lots of time together. Family is one of the most important aspects of our lives. You will be part of our family.








A few of our Favorite things...


Some of our favorite family activities usually involve being outside since we live in a climate that allows year-round entertainment. You can find us at the beach, a sporting event, playing in our yard or just being with our friends.

Friends

Our friends are more than just friends, they are our support system, our encouragers and part of our family. We go on vacations together, we cook together, we play together. Friends are our family too.


The Joy of Adoption



Our hopes for our family is to bring home a child that Lucas can grow up with and relate to as an adopted child and through culture and that we can provide the love and support we know we will have for your baby.

The joy of adoption is something that we have already seen and is still stirring in our hearts and we hope and pray that you will be able to share the gift of your child’s life with us.

Here we go again...YAY

We want to tell all of our friends that we are beginning our Adoption journey for the second time. We are going to use Adoption Covenant as our agency and are thrilled with their knowledge and comfort for adoptive parents and birthmothers. We will be making our Blog like a profile book, so that people can pass this on to others and share who we are with people who might know a birthmother or a good network of people. Thank you all for supporting us when we brought home our first little boy Lucas, now it is time to give him a sibling! We are thrilled!!

Dear Birthmother


First we want you to know that this choice you are making is the most selfless act we can think of, and we already feel admiration for your decision. Adoption is a gift to so many people, and our prayers have been that this would be the way we would continue growing our family. Two years ago we began our family through adoption with our beautiful biracial son, and he has shown us what it means to love beyond measure. We prayed for months on how to share in this excitement with you as our Birthmother and we hope that you get to know us a little better and learn that we will give your baby all the love that we have and they will never have to settle for less. We hope that your child will always know the love that you have for them, and with that we will always talk about our Birthmother and what a gift that you have given us. We want adoption to be part of our everyday lives and for it to be used in conversation; our child will know that they were a gift to us and will always be a miracle in our lives. We pray that when they are ready they will want to know more about you and your decision and I know that we will be able to share that with them. We live in a town with cultural diversity and that provides all the essentials a growing child will need, great schools, wonderful sports and arts programs, and neighborhoods full of laughter and fun. Our home is lively and always has open doors. Our families are close to us and provide the greatest support system. We consider not only our relatives as family, but also our friends, they are our brothers and sisters and we could not have asked for a better "family." We have a strong faith and believe that God has given us so many gifts and we pray that the gift of another child will soon become a reality for us. We also have a church family that provides constant support, with a very large adoptive parent community and the gift of childcare. Our baby will be able to have a Christian education in their first months and years of life. We know your child will be loved at all times! We want to always provide the best for your child and know that you also want to give them the best that you can. This book will show you what we value and desire for our family, it will also show you how committed we are to becoming the best parents we can be. We have had great parents to help us grow into the adults we have become and know that we will take these same values and instill them into our child. Please know that we continue to pray for your strength and for the gift of a growing family.
With our Love- Jeff, Morgan & Lucas
