Julie grew up with a love of camping and fishing and was often the lone girl on the fishing trips. She enjoys spending time with family playing games, having summer BBQ's, or just hanging out. We met in the glamor of the local 7-Eleven where I worked nights. I quickly realized she was the kind of girl I want to marry because being around her made me want to be a better person. I think she has that affect on a lot of people.
I am in awe of Julie around children. She has an innate sense of what a child needs to feel special and loved. She's currently the primary president in our ward and she puts her whole self into her calling. She loves the children and worries about the ones who need a little extra love just like they were all our own kids. From the time we were dating I knew that Julie's greatest desire was to be a mom. Even when she worked at a daycare taking care of 2 year old kids all day she would come home and just want to have her own. Ray
Introduction
We've been married for ten years. We love being an aunt and uncle to our nieces and nephews. We have been through the roller coaster of fertility options and are glad we explored those avenues. We now know that our children will come to us through adoption.
The purpose of our blog is for you to get to know us and to get word out that we are looking to adopt in the hope someone we know knows someone who is pregnant and considering
placing the child for adoption, and then refer them to us.
To the expectant parent, I don't know you or how you found yourself looking at this blog, faced with this decision to place or parent your baby. But I do know that you are a strong and amazing person for even considering adoption. God knows you and loves you. With His help and your faith I know you will be guided to make the choices that will be best for you and your baby. Know that we pray for you without yet knowing who you are.
Adoption is such a personal and unique experience for all involved and is different for each case. I believe the specifics of adoption are between the people involved and not for the general public. We do have a letter for you that has more information about us, our ideas on parenting, our families, our open adoption plans, and where you fit in. We want to get to know you and in doing so we can discuss more openly what adoption looks like to each of us.
Thank you for taking the time to look at our blog. I hope you will be able to get to know us through our posts. If you want to read our expectant parent letter please email us at jewelstewart@gmail.com and we will send you a copy.
