Hello there, we are John and Jon, or Jon and John, or just the Jo(h)ns. 

It’s hard to write this note because we don’t know you yet, and we can only imagine the hard choices you are faced with making for your baby. We know these short words can’t tell you our full story, but hopefully, they can help you imagine what being a part of our family will be like.

If you are anything like us, you’ve had a million questions running through your mind throughout this process; if there is anything we don’t mention here that you are curious about, don’t be shy about asking. We believe honesty and communication are key to building a better world, and we hope to teach those values to this child.

Sometimes in life, when you know, you know. When we first met, we both knew we had found the one. When we first saw our house, we knew it had to be our home. But sometimes in life, it can feel impossible to make a decision and even after the decision you second guess yourself. We don’t know what this decision is like for you, but we do know that if chosen as adoptive parents, we will love this child until the end of our days. 

P.S. We promise that this child won’t be named any version of John/Jon.
