Welcome!


Thanks for taking the time to get to know us a little better. Adoption has been a huge miracle in our life and we hope to continue to grow our family through adoption. Two and a half years ago we were able to adopt our son Jackson and he has been the greatest gift we have ever received. We are so grateful for his birth family and the sacrifice they made for him. He will ALWAYS know how much they love him and and how we love them too. We are so excited to be on the adoption journey again and add more people and love into our family! We know that there is no way of understanding what you might be going through, but we want you to know that we hope you find peace in choosing a plan for your child.

How We Met




We met on a blind date that neither of us really wanted to go on. I was a nanny in New Jersey and was just coming home after a year and a half of being in New Jersey when a friend was telling me of this guy with really pretty blue eyes I had to go on a date with. I had just broke up with a boyfriend and was not in the mood for a blind date. Justin had been on several blind dates and really hated them so he was not in the mood either. But in the end we both listened to our friends and we went on the dreaded blind date. On our date we went to Park City and from that moment on we were both hooked. I guess you could say it was one of those love at first sight moments. We were together everyday after that. Until the family I was a nanny for needed me to come back for a couple of months. So I went back to New Jersey for two months and during that time we decided that we never wanted to be apart again, and got married a few months after I got back. We are now supporters of blind dates. They really do work!

About Justin by Pam:

Justin loves anything that is outdoors and active. He loves to mountain and road bike, go camping, hiking, boating, four wheeling, really anything that includes the mountains and the outdoors. He has a background in construction which really came in handy when he built our home. I am always finding projects for Justin to build, poor guy. Justin is also very neat and organized. Justin is a very hard working man who when asked to get something done he does it. One of the things that made me fall in love with Justin is his sense of humor. He can always make me laugh. He is such a fun easy going person. Justin is my best friend and I am so lucky I get to be his wife.
As a father Justin is the best! He is so hands on with Jackson and has been since day one. Jackson adores him. Jackson asks for his daddy all day and when Justin gets home Jackson runs to Justin and gives him a huge hug and is glued to him for the night. Justin is always running around with Jackson building huts, playing with his cars, and playing hide n' go seek. I definitely fell in love with Justin all over again watching him be a father.

About Pam By Justin:
Pam is one of those people that everyone wants to be around. She loves to do anything that involves throwing a party or entertaining people. She loves decorating the house, decorating for parties, cake decorating, and has really started to come around to camping a little too. Pam stays very active by running and occasionally I can even get her out on the mountain bike as well. Her biggest passion in life is taking care of her family. Pam always puts us before herself, unless "The Bachelor" is on. The thing that attracted me to Pam was how sweet and good she is with everyone around her. She is always thinking about how she can do something for someone else. Pam is the best Mom that anyone could ever ask for, whether she is reading with Jackson or just rocking him to bed, I know that Jackson is always getting the best attention he could ever get. I know it sounds cliche, but she really is my best friend.

About Jackson



Age: 2
Height: Tall for his age
Eyes: Brown
Hair: Blonde
Education: Working on his letters and numbers!
An expert on anything with wheels.
Occupation: A great son and a hopeful soon to be
big brother!



I am a very active and happy little boy. I am obsessed with cars, bubbles, and balloons. One of my favorite things to do is to ride on the four wheeler with my daddy. One of my new favorite hobbies is throwing all of my mom's throw pillows down the stairs. I love to go to the park, go down the slide, and swing for hours. I am a careful, thrill seeker who loves carnival rides and to jump off of things as long as my parents are next to me. I think that last part makes my mom happy. I love to give lots of hugs and kisses and snuggle with my soft blankets. I still don't know what to think of loud noises especially the vacuum. I usually hide in the pantry when my mom vacuums. I am excited to become a big brother some day. Every time I see a baby I get very excited and blow them kisses. I guess I just can't help myself.

Fun With Our Families!

We are lucky enough to live close by most of our family. We spend holidays, birthdays, and just regular old day with them. Jackson is so spoiled by all of his cousins.
