Meet Jason & Sybil
dear birth parents:
Thank you for taking time to look at our profile and read our letter. We realize this is not an easy time for you, and we cannot imagine what you are going through. Adoption is such a courageous and selfless thing for you to do. As you read this letter I hope you get an idea of who we are and a sense of all the love we have to share.
We adopted our daughter Zoey in 2004. For us it was a scary, tearful, and wonderful experience that we wouldn't change for the world. When Zoey came into our lives, it was as if it was meant to be. We love her with all of our heart, and looking forward to filling another child's life with love and affection from our family.
Jason is a camera man and video coordinator for a video production company. It is a very creative and fun job. He works on a variety of different projects including marketing videos, news coverage, and television studio work. In his free time Jason likes to spend time with his family, work on the house, and watch the Chicago Cubs. Jason is a fun, loving, and kind-hearted husband and father.Jason grew up with two brothers in a small farming community in Central Illinois. His parents still live in the same house today, and it is a wonderful place to visit. Both of Jason's brothers are super uncles, and are looking forward to another child in their lives to spoil with attention.
Sybil is a special education teacher for children with autism. Being a teacher takes a lot of patience and love. Since Sybil follows the school calendar her days are over by 2:30pm everyday with all summer and many holidays off with Zoey. In her free time she likes to work on art projects with Zoey, spend time outside, and spend time with family and friends. Sybil is a wonderful mother and loves children very much.Sybil's parents live five minutes away, and we make time to see them every week. Sybil's mother has just retired and is looking forward to spending more time being a grandmother. Sybil is an only child, but has a big extended family that gets together for holidays and other special occasions. Everyone lives close by each other.
Zoey is a sweet, loving, and imaginative 4-year-old. She loves to be outside whether it is riding her bike, swimming in the pool, or playing at the park. She is very much looking forward to being a big sister.Since adopting Zoey, she has been our number one priority. It is amazing how you grow and change from a family of two to a wonderful family of three. Spending time as a family is what we enjoy most. Whether it is going to the zoo, taking a walk through our neighborhood, or spending time at the swimming pool. We were blessed when were chosen to be Zoey's parents. However, we feel like our family is not done growing yet. We think about all of the exciting experiences that lay a head of us as a family of four.
We live in a quiet subdivision that is filled with children. We have a park at the end of our block and it is not uncommon to find many children and parents gathered in the evening after dinner. Seeing all the children really makes us yearn for another child in our family. There is something special about growing up with siblings to learn from, play with, and love. All that laughing and playing together.We attend a Catholic church and are excited about raising our child with faith and love for everyone around them. In the world we live in, it is so important to have faith in God, to help you make sense of it all.
We hope this is just the beginning of pictures and letters we share together. We will never forget our child's birth parents, who have given us the greatest gift. Our child will always know how special his or her birth parents are, too. Ultimately our child will be surrounded by numerous people who love him or her above all else.
Thank you very much for reading this letter and considering us.Jason and Sybil
