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.

Happy 1st Birthday!

One year ago I was in the delivery room for the birth of our son. It was the most miraculous day of my life. Ray and I stood by the bedside of the most beautiful and strongest girl I know as she gave birth to the most perfect little boy. I will never forget the hours leading up to that moment. So many emotions and thoughts of nervousness and excitement running through my head. The baby we have been waiting for was finally here! I feel so blessed that Jacob's birth mom chose us to be his parents and that we have a good relationship his birth family.
In this one short year he has brought so much joy into our lives. Jacob is such a funny little boy and has the cutest smile and laugh. He is walking a little when he wants to. His favorite toy is his stuffed dog that he got for Christmas and his favorite person (besides mom and dad) is his cousin Kaitlynn. He loves being outside and exploring new things. He jabbers a lot and makes lots of fun sounds but doesn't really say any words yet (still not sure if he is actually saying "Dada" or if that is just one of his many sounds). He can crawl up and down the stairs like a champ. He loves being chased and tickled. He has a mischievous little smile when he knows he is doing something he shouldn't. He can be a little stinker sometimes and can throw a good little tantrum when he gets told "no". We love this little guy so much and he is loved by so many.
Happy 1st Birthday Jacob!
