Jason and Kayla

We are Jason and Kayla!

From Our Hearts to Yours

Hey there!

Thank you so much for taking the time to look through our profile. We loved putting together a few thoughts to give you a glimpse into our life together, and we are grateful for the opportunity to share with you. We hope you can see that we are a down-to-earth, joy-filled, and fun-loving couple. We love our life together, and we are so excited to grow our family.

Having a family has been a dream of ours for a long time. Soon after we got married, we hoped to have a baby but faced challenges getting pregnant. During a difficult season of infertility, we felt God gently and clearly leading us toward adoption. Through prayer, we have come to see that adoption has always been part of our story, and we are truly excited to grow our family in this way.

To us, adoption isn’t only about welcoming a child into our lives. It’s about adding a whole new branch to our family tree. We know it is both a beautiful and a difficult journey, and we are humbled and honored to walk this path with you. Providing a loving, stable home where a child can grow, learn, and thrive would be the greatest joy of our lives, and we trust God as we wait with hope and excitement.

We don’t pretend to know the emotions you may be feeling as you consider adoption for you and your baby, but we thank you for being here and hope to support you through this process. We have great respect and admiration for your strength and courage, and our deepest desire is that you feel supported and cared for, no matter your decision. Please know that we are holding you in our hearts, and we hope you feel seen, valued, and respected as you make the best choice for you and your baby.

With love,

Jason and Kayla

About Us

Better Together

Our love story began during the Covid pandemic, when a mutual friend set us up on a blind date. Over breakfast-for-dinner on an outdoor patio, we discovered our shared love of traveling, college football, and Jesus. We fell in love going on long walks at the park, cooking dinner for each other, and finding fun ways to spend time together. Nine months later, Jason proposed on a quiet hiking trail, and a year after that, we celebrated our wedding surrounded by all our favorite people. We ate fajitas, enjoyed wedding cake, and danced the night away.

Life together is full of joy, teamwork, and plenty of laughter, and now, our biggest dream is to grow our family. We look forward to sharing our adventures, our home, and most of all, our love with a child or children.

Kayla, in Jason’s words:
Kayla is ambitious, creative, and confident, and she has a loyal and thoughtful side that I see every day. She has a generous heart and a deep sense of empathy. She loves taking care of people at work and volunteering her time in our community. She inspires those around her. Kids naturally gravitate toward Kayla because she’s playful, adventurous, and fully present with them. I’ve seen firsthand how much our nieces and nephews love her energy and attention. She plans so many fun activities – blueberry picking, exploring the crayon factory, and playing chef with kid-friendly recipes in our kitchen. She loves making every moment feel special. I feel blessed to share life with Kayla, and I know she will be an amazing mom.

Jason, in Kayla’s words:
Jason is my favorite person in the world. When I was looking for a life partner, I hoped to find someone who was kind, hard-working, and loved Jesus. Jason is all of these things and more. Jason is a fiercely loyal son, brother, husband, and friend. He works hard at his job as an engineer, and his co-workers describe him as diligent and a natural teacher. Jason is genuinely interested in getting to know people around him, and he makes friends easily. His laugh is contagious, and he is the perfect balance of playfulness and calm confidence. Jason is going to be an incredible dad. He loves to play and is first to say yes when our nieces and nephews ask to do something fun. He laughs easily and has already perfected the dad-joke. He is patient and thoughtful in any circumstance, and I know he will be a steady, loving, and endlessly fun father to our future children.

Life is full of love and laughter

About Jason:

Jason grew up in a suburb outside of Dallas. As a kid, he liked swimming in his backyard pool and playing pick-up basketball or street hockey with his neighborhood friends. He played french horn in his high school band and loved being part of his school’s Friday night lights. After graduating, Jason went to Texas A&M where he studied engineering. He is an avid sports fan and spent his free time attending every A&M sporting event he could. Now, Jason works as a civil engineer at a local consulting firm. He specializes in water management and finds great purpose in helping provide communities with such an essential need.

About Kayla:

Kayla grew up in East Texas, and her childhood was filled with treehouse adventures, four-wheeler rides, and campfires in the backyard. She played all the sports growing up, learned to play the piano, and was a baton twirler and clarinet player for her high school band. She was even drum major for two years! After high school, Kayla attended Texas A&M and studied Chemistry. She continued her education for many years after college and earned both her masters and professional degree in healthcare. She is now a specialist in her field and loves taking care of her patients.

About Us:

Together, we are down-to-earth, love to laugh, and we are always looking for the next fun adventure. While we both love our work, we also look forward to relaxing at home and finding fun things to do on the weekends. During the week, we love to wake up early and get a great workout in together. After work, we love to cook together before settling in for a game on TV or an episode of Lincoln Lawyer or Abbott Elementary. Jason’s steak is better than any restaurant we’ve been to, and you can always count on Kayla for a delicious dessert. We both have a big sweet tooth! We are also involved in our church. Kayla teaches 8th grade girls, and Jason is the leader of our small group. For fun, we love to explore local parks and nature trails. We like to camp, and there is a beautiful state park close to our house. Our town has great local restaurants, ice cream shops, and farmer’s markets, and we love supporting them. We also love traveling to new places – experiencing the beauty of new landscapes and the vibrancy of different cultures keeps us always planning our next trip.

We love to stay active, spend time outside, and find unique experiences both near and far away. We can’t wait to share our life with a child!

Our Favorite Things

We share the same birthday, and birthdays are always a big celebration in our house!
We have a pizza oven and love making our own creations for “Happy Pizza Night”.
Every Saturday, we make a big breakfast at home. Afterwards, we either stroll through the Farmer’s Market or settle in for College Gameday on TV, depending on the season.
Jason cooks the best steak, and Kayla’s chocolate chip cookies are famous among our friends and family.
Our church is just five minutes from our home, and our faith in God is central to everything we do. We love being part of our church family.
Some of our favorite traditions with friends include traveling to an away football game every fall and renting a big Airbnb in the spring so everyone—kids included—can reconnect.
We love exploring local restaurants, supporting small businesses, and attending city events like “Symphony in the Park” in the summer and the local film festival each fall.
About 30 minutes from home is a state park with our favorite campsite. We love nights under the stars, kayaking, hiking, and making s’mores together.
We love to travel. Our favorite trips have been hiking through Big Bend, watching the sunrise in Yosemite National Park, and zip-lining in the Costa Rican jungle.
We love dreaming about the future and working toward our goals. One day, we hope to live on a few acres with plenty of space to roam and play.

Our Family

We love marking each season with special memories and traditions. Our favorites are:
– Spring picnics at the Rose Garden
– Making homemade peach ice cream each summer
– Dressing up for Halloween and passing out candy in our front yard
– A BIG bonfire and s’mores after Thanksgiving dinner
– Making yummy dessert and the best mac and cheese for holiday meals
– Looking at Christmas lights with mugs of peppermint hot chocolate
– Reading the story of Jesus’s birth on Christmas morning

Family Matters Most

Outside of our faith, family is the most important thing to us. We live just an hour from Kayla’s family and two hours from Jason’s, so time together is frequent and full of fun. When we visit Jason’s family, we usually stay for a few days so we can soak up every moment with his parents, sister and brother-in-law, and our four energetic nieces and nephews. Days are filled with treasure hunts, chasing soccer balls and frisbees, big family meals, and evenings of cards and board games. Jason’s dad always has a camera ready to capture the fun, and his mom makes holidays and birthdays feel extra special with the most thoughtful touches. For Kayla’s family, day trips to see her parents, brother and sister-in-law, and two nieces quickly turn into races up and down the driveway, “bear” hunts in the back woods, water balloon fights, and evenings roasting hot dogs and marshmallows. Kayla’s dad can be found giving tractor and four-wheeler rides, and her mom will be baking sweet treats and playing dress-up, puppies, or any other make-believe adventure with the granddaughters. Imagination and play are the heartbeat of their home. Both of our families are deeply invested in their grandchildren, and it’s a joy to see them love these kids as much as they loved us. The cousins would be so excited to welcome a new playmate, and we can’t wait to add a child or children into the happy, noisy, fun-loving mix!

Things to Know About Us

1. Our faith is Jesus is central to everything we do.
2. Family always comes first. We make it a priority to spend quality time with family often.
3. Education is highly valued in our home. In addition to learning at school, we feel that travel and experiences can teach us the most.

Our Home

Home Sweet Home

Our home is a cozy, four-bedroom, three-bathroom house in a friendly Texas neighborhood. We love the spacious living areas, sidewalks for scooters and bikes, and the wonderful school district nearby. Our street is full of life, with neighbors ranging from young families to retirees, and we enjoy sitting on our front porch, saying hello to neighbors, and watching the roses bloom in our flower beds. There is a neighborhood pool within walking distance and several nearby parks, making it easy to enjoy the outdoors together.

Inside, we have worked to create a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Our backyard may be small, but it is full of life with a vegetable and cut flower garden that brings us fresh ingredients and flowers to enjoy every day. Hosting friends and family is an important part of our life. We love having a place where people can gather to share a home-cooked meal, watch a football game, or simply hang out together in our living room. Our home is decorated with photos from our travels and meaningful treasures, all of which tell the story of who we are. We are excited to continue that story and fill our home with the love, laughter, and joy a child will bring.

Final Thoughts

Our Promises to You

As you make this decision for you and your baby, we want to share a few promises we hold close to our hearts. We promise to: Love your child unconditionally and with all of our hearts. Speak of you and your baby’s adoption story early and often, with great love and respect. Always honor you and speak highly of you to our child, our family, and our friends. Uphold our commitment to open adoption, following your comfort level and always keeping your child’s best interests in mind. Raise your child in a home where they feel secure, supported, and loved. Encourage curiosity and adventure by exposing them to new people, new experiences, and travel. Surround them with friends and family who love, support, and encourage them. Help them grow into a kind, honest, generous, and self-aware person. Provide every opportunity for them to learn, explore, and become the person God created them to be.  This decision isn’t easy, and we hold deep respect for the love and strength is represents.
