Hello!

We are Lauren and Jeremy, and it means more to us than we can fully express that you would click on this page and consider who we are. Our story together has been shaped by love, laughter, growth, and a deep commitment to walking through life side by side. We have been together for 12 years and married for 10, and through every season—both the joyful and the
difficult—our bond has only grown stronger.

Our story began at a radio station. We were both musicians in separate bands, traveling similar touring circuits, crossing paths in green rooms and studio hallways. What started as shared conversations about music slowly turned into something deeper. We discovered that beyond the songs and stages, we shared the same heartbeat for faith, family, and building a meaningful life.

With adoption already woven into the fabric of our family, our hearts have become increasingly set on the path of growing our family through adoption, making this journey feel both familiar and deeply meaningful. We don’t take this lightly. The thought of growing our family in this way fills us with both humility and deep joy, and we are truly hopeful for what may come. 

MEET LAUREN

Let me tell you about my wife, Lauren.

To our nephews—and many of the kids at church—she’s lovingly known as “Lolli,” a nickname her grandmother gave her (Lollipop) that has stuck all these years. It fits her perfectly. Lauren has a playful spirit and a contagious joy that draws people in. Whether she’s organizing a game, splashing around on a pool day with family, dancing at Zumba, or sharing her love of Harry Potter, she brings fun and energy wherever she goes. But what I love most about Lauren isn’t what she does—it’s who she is.

She loves Jesus with all her heart, and that love overflows into the way she cares for others. Lauren has a gift for making people feel important. She notices the person sitting alone, remembers the details others forget, and has a way of making everyone feel welcomed, valued, and loved. She is thoughtful, compassionate, and genuinely interested in the people around her.

Lauren is generous with her time, her encouragement, and her love. She gives herself fully to the people and things she cares about, and she does it with joy. She also has a remarkable creative side. Lauren loves turning ordinary things into something beautiful. Our home is filled with little touches that reflect her creativity, warmth, and attention to detail.

Watching Lauren with our nephews has only confirmed what I knew from the beginning: she was made to be a mother. She is nurturing, patient, and deeply devoted to those she loves. I can easily picture her reading bedtime stories, comforting little hearts, celebrating every milestone, helping with school projects, and filling our home with laughter, encouragement, and unconditional love.

More than anything, Lauren creates a sense of home wherever she goes. She is my best friend, my greatest supporter, and one of the kindest people I know. I feel incredibly blessed to walk through life with her, and I know any child welcomed into our family will be deeply loved, cherished, and surrounded by the warmth of her heart.

FUN FACTS ABOUT LAUREN:
Lolli’s favorite food: Seafood, chocolate-covered raisins but NOT together b/c ew- that’s gross! 
She loves: exercise, evening walks, discovering new places, the ocean & all things fun.

MEET JEREMY

Let me introduce you to my husband, Jeremy!

He is the most patient and compassionate person I’ve ever known. He loves bad puns and fully embraces the “dad joke” life—the sillier, the better—and he genuinely finds so much joy in making people laugh. But underneath that playful side is the most tender heart. He embodies forgiveness, grace, and a calm strength in a way that makes our home feel safe and peaceful.

Jeremy is also an incredibly gifted musician. Music is one of the ways he connects with the world and with people—whether he’s playing in intimate spaces, leading others in worship, or simply picking up a guitar at home, there is something deeply natural and moving about the way he creates and shares music. It’s one of the clearest expressions of who he is: thoughtful, expressive, and full of heart.

The way he cares for me is incredibly selfless, marked by intentionality and love. He listens deeply. He thinks before he speaks. He shows up consistently. There’s a quiet wisdom about him that I admire so much.

And one of the sweetest parts of his life is the way he loves our nephews. He lights up when he’s with them—playing, teasing, teaching them things, and making them feel seen and celebrated. They absolutely adore him, and he meets them with such patience, presence, and joy. Watching him with them has given me a glimpse of the kind of father he already is in his heart.

When we met, he was volunteering at Children’s hospitals playing music to sick children, and he would also teach songs to the children in our church. I’ve watched him kneel down to their level, give them his full attention, laugh with them, and make them feel important. Kids are naturally drawn to him because they sense his kindness and steadiness.

I have no doubt he will be the kind of dad who is patient on the hard days, playful on the fun ones, and fully present through it all.

FUN FACTS ABOUT JEREMY:
Jeremy loves: coffee shops and playing tennis. He is a foodie but still loves his Oreos & Ice Cream.
More Loves: He would rather spend his Birthday riding roller coasters at a theme park. He loves baseball- Go ATL Braves!

Thank you for considering us.

To you, with deep gratitude and respect, we want to make a promise from our hearts. If we are given the gift of raising your child, we promise to love them fully and unconditionally every single day of their life. We will make a home filled with laughter, warmth, and joy—where silliness is welcomed, hard days are held gently, and love is spoken often and freely.

We promise your child will never go without. They will be cared for in every way—emotionally, physically, and spiritually. We will be present in their lives in steady, dependable ways, showing up again and again so they always feel safe, known, and deeply valued.

We also promise to give them a life full of opportunity and experience. We will encourage their dreams, nurture their gifts, and work hard to open doors for them whenever we can. We will take them on adventures, celebrate the ordinary days, and say “yes” to the kinds of experiences that help shape a full and meaningful life.

Most of all, we promise they will grow up knowing their story includes you. We will speak of you with honesty and respect, and we will honor the love you have for them as something real and lasting. Your place in their life will never be forgotten.
