We’re Dave and Jen and we are hoping to become first-time parents by adopting a baby through Open Adoption. We live in Orlando, FL, and have been married for almost 12 years. We live in a quiet, kid friendly neighborhood with excellent schools. We enjoy watching shuttle launches from our backyard and playing at Disney on the weekends. Jen works in communications. Dave is a carpenter. Dave’s family was built through adoption.

This video is our prospective adoptive parent video profile and shows a glimpse into our life together.

We are home study approved and working through A Chosen Child agency in Orlando, Florida.

If you feel we might be the right parents for your baby, we encourage you to learn more about us at http://www.davejenAdoption.com or contact us at davejenadoption@gmail.com.

Canada Adopts! is Canada’s largest online meeting place for prospective birth mothers (and fathers) looking for adoptive parents for their baby and families trying to adopt. It features all kinds of resources, discussion groups, blogs, articles, links to Adoption agencies and other internet services specifically designed for women facing a crisis or teen pregnancy.

Adoption is a loving choice and has changed dramatically over the last few decades. Today, through Open Adoption, prospective birth parents have the choice of not only choosing an adoptive family for their baby, but taking part in making an adoption plan. Your plan could include keeping in contact with your child and his adopting family through phone calls, letters, photos and even visits.

Contact an adoption agency or specialist today to find out what your choices are. All of the counselling is free of charge, whether or not you decide to go ahead with your plan. Good luck with your journey — we wish you all the best! Music: Kevin MacLeod.
