Our names are Ken and Stacy and we would like to start off by thanking you for taking the time to read our profile. We truly believe that you are a gift from above. If it was not for women like you, couples like us would never know the joys of being parents. We know that your decision is a difficult one.

We have had the pleasure of beginning our family through adoption in 2004. Our son Jeffrey has been a light in our lives ever since. Every day is filled with laughter, hugs and tons of kisses. He is a happy, energetic 4 year old that can't wait to share his toys with a new brother or sister. He is very friendly and makes friends easily. We have had the pleasure of being part of a "Moms Club" which has given him the opportunity to grow up with many close friends, some of which are also adopted. He loves to be around other children. He has lots of cousins nearby and plays with them frequently. We are lucky to have several family members that live close by and Jeffrey has a close relationship with all of them.

We are lucky to live on a cul-de-sac that offers lots of room to ride bikes and play. On the weekends the street is usually full of kids riding their bikes and scooters.We often buy pizza at lunch for all the kids to share. We have a large back yard with a playhouse and soon a swing set. We took the time to start a college fund before we adopted Jeffrey and have done the same for a second child. Its very important to us that our children have every opportunity in life.

About Ken
Ken is a wonderful husband and father. No matter how rough his day is he always takes the time to play with Jeffrey and let him know how much he is loved. He recently had the joy of teaching Jeffrey how to ride a bike without training wheels! He truly loves being a father. He received his Bachelor's Degree in business in 1996 and has flourished in his career ever since. He always gives his work and family 100%. In his spare time he enjoys restoring antique cars and riding motorcycles. For Jeffrey's 3rd birthday he bought him a motorcycle (with training wheels of course) and often takes him out riding for the day. Ken is very close to his parents and brother who live only a few streets away. We often enjoy family camp-outs and Bar-B-Ques and regularly get together for family dinners. He is lucky enough to work from a home office which gives him the flexibility to spend a lot of time with his family.

About Stacy
Stacy is an excellent mother and wife. She has a way of turning tears into smiles. Since she is a stay-at-home mother, she is always available whenever Jeffrey needs her. She spends her days taking care of our home and son and loves her job. She has made our home a place where a child can feel safe and loved. Every night she reads Jeffrey stories before she tucks him into bed. They are often doing crafts, painting or baking cookies. When the children are older she plans to be a member of the PTA and be very involved in school activities.

Before she became a mother she worked for several years in a prominent Southern California hospital where she worked in radiology. She also spent a year working as an assistant to a neurologist where she ran the front office. She received many letters of recommendation during her years in the medical field but chose to leave the field in order to become a full time mom. This was her dream growing up—to become a wife and stay-at-home mother. She has many close friends who also have children and enjoys spending time with them.She has all of her grandparents still, a brother, three nephews and even a 104 year old great grandmother!

Our life together
Ken and I met in 1998 and knew from the start that we were meant to be together. In 1999, on a cruise in the Bahamas with family and friends, Ken asked me to be his wife. We were married the following year and immediately wanted to start a family. After several months with no luck, we both went in for some exploratory testing and were surprised to find out that conception would be very difficult for us. We went on a whirlwind of fertility treatments and I had several surgeries. We tried two unsuccessful IVF cycles and had come to the conclusion that the path to parenthood for us was through adoption. Six months after starting our adoption paperwork, we brought home a beautiful baby boy. We feel so blessed to have him as part of our lives and can't wait to expand our family through adoption once again. We feel that having two adopted children will give them a extraordinary bond that will carry them through out their lives.

Jeffrey is such a thoughtful and loving child we know he will be an excellent brother. Our families are so excited for us to bring home another child. They have welcomed Jeffrey into their lives with open arms and know they will do the same once again. Each of them has a very special relationship with Jeffrey and we know they will also have that same relationship with a new child.

Since we adopted Jeffrey, he has been on several cross country trips. He has been to New Mexico several times as well as Arizona,Oregon,Washington and Nevada. We have been all over California (San Francisco,Sacramento, San Diego, Redding, Pismo Beach, Santa Barbara). We are a very active family. We have annual passes to Disneyland and try to go at least once a month. Several friends as well as family also have passes and join us whenever possible. Since Ken's territory for his job is all of California, Nevada and Arizona, we frequently join him on his trips. Jeffrey especially loves the swimming pools in Las Vegas! Every summer we take several camping trips, one of which is a week in Pismo Beach. We spend a lot of time near the ocean in the summer. Stacy's mom has a house across from a water skiing stadium and lagoon. She often takes Jeffrey there to feed the ducks and play in the local park. If given the chance to raise your child , they too will enjoy all of the activities and love that we as a family share.
