We are Jake, Elli, and Colton. We want to start off by saying how blessed we feel that you have chosen to learn more about us. We are truly in awe of how brave and loving you are, and we hope that this profile will give you a small glimpse into who we are and the joy we get from being parents.

We have three biological children, one here on Earth and two in Heaven. In April 2018, our first child, Rori, passed away unexpectedly at three months old. Then, our son, Colton, was born in December 2019. We always wanted to have more children, and our daughter, Ryann, was born in April 2022. When she was born, she had a lot of medical complications, and we learned she had an extremely rare genetic disorder. She passed away when she was three weeks old. Later, we learned that Rori had suffered from the same genetic disorder.

We will always cherish the short time we had with our daughters, as they showed us immeasurable strength and love. We have so much love in our hearts to welcome another baby, and we are incredibly excited at the thought of adding to our family through the precious gift of adoption.
