Nick and Jennie had no trouble conceiving their first child, Sloane. However, when they tried for a second child, they faced challenges. Rather than opting for in vitro fertilization, they felt a strong calling to adopt. Nick had always been drawn to the idea of adoption, and Jennie shared this sentiment from a young age. Jennie’s mom recalled that when Jennie played “house” as a child, she always included both a biological baby and an adopted baby. Sloane is also excited about the idea of adoption and eagerly looks forward to having a baby sister or brother.

Married since 2018 | GeorgiaNick and Jennie, both in the same industry, met at a trade show in Las Vegas. Jennie was based in the San Francisco area, while Nick lived in Georgia. They were introduced by a mutual friend at an event and later joined a group of friends for dinner that night. Jennie spent the evening laughing at Nick’s jokes, and they discovered a shared interest in adoption. It didn’t take long for Jennie to realize that Nick was “the one,” and he soon felt the same way. Their long-distance relationship was filled with fun and adventures. Through their travels they discovered shared tastes, interesting locations, and new friends. After their marriage, the adventures continued in Italy. Now, their favorite adventures are being parents to Sloane. Best Couple Superpower: Communication

Hi Momma,

We would be excited to get to know you better. Our family is built on the cornerstones of love, laughter, and faith, which are the values we have instilled in our daughter.

But with time, we believe it will feel right, and we can become one united family.
