Our Story
We met working at Disney California Adventure in 2006 and started dating just a few months after. It wasn't quite love at first site, but Jeremy was very intrigued by this feisty little woman! Our first date was at Disneyland on April 14, 2006. Jeremy pretty much fell in love right away, but Janine took a little while to be convinced that he was the one. After about 10 months of being together she gave into her feelings and emotions and decided to put all her faith, love and trust into him and it turned out to be perfect! Jeremy proposed in Temecula on our 2 year anniversary. We went on a hot air balloon ride, then he proposed the next morning in our suite. It was amazing! We were engaged a little over a year and were married on June 26, 2009. It was the best day of our lives! After being married for about a year we decided to start trying to start a family. We discovered we are not able to naturally so we decided to adopt.
We love spending time together and just being around each other, we are best friends and love staying active. We love going to movies, the theater, the beach, traveling, going to Disneyland, going to Angel games, we love going to shows, camping, the zoo, aquariums, playing games, playing our wii, riding bikes, taking walks, and going to church. Most of the time we enjoy just hanging out at home watching movies or playing games, and just being silly and laughing. We are best friends and could not imagine our lives apart from each other!
Over 4 years ago through the power of the internet we were connected a 4 yr old sweet girl. In April 2013 we welcomed this sweet bright eyed little angel into our home and she has been an answer to our prayers! We became her legal guardians in August 2013 and finalized her adoption in July 2017!

Why we chose to adopt...
We have always thought about adoption. Janine has always wanted to adopt ever since she was little. We believed it would be a little further down the line. We thought we would have one or two children naturally and then we would adopt a couple more. We have always wanted lots of little ones running around, and we didn't think it was fair for us to have them all naturally when there are so many children out there that need a loving home. Once we received the news that we cannot have children naturally we began the adoption process right away. We decided that we would not go through with any infertility treatments. We just felt that this was the path we are supposed to be on, and we are so excited to find our little ones through adoption! We believe God has a plan for everyone. We believe we were meant to adopt, and that God has always wanted us to adopt, and that is the reason for the infertility.
For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope. Jeremiah 29:11

Where we live...
We live in a 4 bedroom house in the beautiful city of Yorba Linda in Orange County, Ca. We have a great size yard and plenty of space for little ones to run around! We are on a cult-a-sac and our neighborhood is very safe and quiet. Our daughter attends school here in the district and we love her school and teachers. We live near many parks and love to take walks up to the lake and around the neighborhood.
