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.

Changing Our Lives

Our hike to "Potato Chip Rock"

One of our amazing meals at PFC

Lunch at our new favorite place in San Diego, True Food


We had an amazing time with these two wonderful people at Premier Fitness Camp in Carlsbad CA. JJ (@hiittrainer) is Ray's personal trainer and he has an adorable wife Erika (@cleansimpleeats) who is a nutritionist . They are two of the greatest people I know and they love what they do. (Follow them on Instagram to see how awesome they are).
We are in the process of becoming healthy, active people and with their help we are already seeing some pretty cool changes in our lives.

    Julie, you and Ray can be so proud of yourselves for your dedication to this project of losing weight and becoming more active and healthy so that WHEN your adoption takes place, you will be fit and ready for all those late night feedings!!
    I am so impressed with your dedication at work to stick with your meal plans and doing all the exercises that you and Ray both do.
    I can see a difference in your outlook due to this project, you are happier and more optimistic that good things are coming and I know that the desires of your heart will come true. Keep up the good work!
