Thank you for looking through a snapshot of our story. We hope it tells you a little more about who we are and the parents we want to be for this baby.

John loves to read, bike, and travel, as well. He lived in Brazil,...

Jon loves art, history, and museums. He...

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...
