Jamie and Jill
We're looking to adopt a baby
Hi, there! We are Jamie & Jill (also known as J&J)! We are excited to share our story with you!
Our love and life story has always been quite serendipitous, and we believe building our family will be, as well! We met while both of us were teaching at a university and became fast friends, realizing we had a lot in common. Our lives changed forever the day we had our first date on December 2, 2014. On June 2, 2017 we were married on a beautiful warm sunny day in Virginia Beach, surrounded by our family and friends. Since we met, everything has always had a way of falling into place—serendipity, we say!
We both work in counseling, as professors. Every day, we help others to be empathetic, understanding individuals. We care deeply about our work and feel that we are both where we are meant to be.
While our lives have been enriched by children both personally and professionally, we have always wanted to extend our family beyond fur and feathered children. We truly believe adoption is the best way to become the family we were meant to be. We are immensely excited and hopeful to become adoptive parents to a little one!
