Brad and Jacqlynn

Thank you so much for taking the time to meet our family!  We know that you are making difficult decisions right now and that you want the best for your child.  We hope you will love our family, but most of all we want you to find the family with whom you feel comfortable.  We are a loving, boisterous, creative, Christian homeschooling family of six.  Brad and Jacqlynn met in college, married in 2002, and have been parents for seventeen years.  We have really enjoyed being parents through all the ups and down…even the 1:00 AM stomachs bugs (why does the throwing up always begin in the middle of the night!?).  Our children, Hoku, Edward, Marko, and Dom, have taught us how to choose love even when things are difficult, and that reading a toddler’s favorite book 50,000 times in a row is the best path to patience.  There is a tremendous openness to adoption in our extended family as we have nine adopted family members.  They have a wealth of knowledge and experience that we can draw on about how to live out a healthy, open adoptive relationship.  We would feel so very blessed to have the chance to parent again and to give another child our tender care and experience.  Aloha and God bless you!
