Hello! We are Jesse & Molli from sunny California! We are deeply thankful for your choice of adoption and know this must be one of the hardest decisions you’ll have to make. You are a brave and selfless woman, and we can’t wait to get to know you.

Our hope is that you see the love we have for each other, our family, our friends and for our future little one. Since we are not able to have children biologically, adoption was the obvious choice for us, and we are ecstatic for this life changing decision to happen. Becoming parents has been a dream for us and we have always wanted to raise a child in the same loving, understanding and passionate way we were raised.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for considering us as possible adoptive parents to your child. This is a challenging moment in your life, and we would be more than honored to be a part of your journey.

From our first kiss at a park to 14 years later, a country girl at heart and a former city boy have grown together, smiled together, and loved together. Right after high school, we first met when Molli started her job at Target. Jesse worked in the stockroom and Molli worked in the clothing department. We would see each other, and sparks would fly. After Jesse asked Molli to be his girlfriend, the real adventure began. Molli introduced Jesse to the wonders of outdoor activities and immediately, we were hooked. Every moment we could, we went on camping trips, 5-14 mile hikes through the San Gabriel Mountains and even tried ocean kayaking in La Jolla.

Now, a country girl and city boy, turned "mountain folks" as they say, find themselves going for walks around the lake, chopping wood and playing in the snow.

When we are not outdoors, we enjoy good movies and TV shows, finding new food spots, and playing with our dogs, Aria, Stella and Trigger. Our most recent adventure has been living in the mountains in Crestline, near Lake Gregory in Southern California. We can’t wait to become parents and are so ready to start a family!

I was born in Los Angeles, California and raised in West Covina with my parents, Soledad and Jesus and two younger siblings, Steven and Christine.
I enjoyed skate boarding, playing sports with friends (such as basketball and dodgeball) listening to music (such as classic rock and metal), playing video games and distance running with my biggest supporter and coach, my dad.

I explored different college/career avenues from Pharmacy Technician to Business Administration but decided working with my hands was my true passion. I now work as an Industrial Maintenance Mechanic at California Steel Industries while also working on becoming a certified Journeyman Millwright. With a rotating schedule, it allows plenty of time for me to be home with our future child. I look forward to watching our future child grow and teaching them about the world.

Jesse is someone that just makes you smile. From his witty personality to his caring and thoughtful actions, I knew I would marry him one day. He is so smart and tackles any challenge with perseverance. I can always depend on him. I love the love he has for me and his family and can’t wait to start our own with him. He is so fun and caring with our nieces and nephew that I know he will be an amazing father.

I was born in Pomona California and raised in Ontario with my parents, Debbie and late father Dan, and older brother, Corey. I was a passionate soccer player, loved taking art classes (drawing, painting) and hanging out with friends.

From the time someone asked me what I wanted to be when I grow up, I have always said a teacher or a veterinarian for dolphins. Following the teaching path, I started my dream job as a fifth-grade teacher. I now have a Master’s Degree and am currently taking courses for a reading authorization for my new position as a Reading Specialist for first graders. With a consistent school schedule, I will have summers and holidays off which allows for lots of quality time with our future child. Both our mom’s will babysit when needed too!

From the moment I met Molli I knew she was the person that I was going to spend the rest of my life with. From her beautiful smile to her many amazing qualities, I love her more and more every day. She is generous, always positive during hard times and full of life and happiness. Molli is going to make a great mother. She gets very excited when we spend time with our nieces and nephews, spending all day playing and taking care of them. Molli has so much love to give and I can’t wait to see her with our future child.

We are blessed to live within an hour from either side of our families. We get together often for family events, or just to visit. We will often spend time with Molli’s mom or FaceTime her nephew, William who is turning 2 this May. When we get together, games are always the center of attention. Some friendly competition spices up the night and we laugh till we cry. During visits to Jesse’s childhood home, we share stories and catch up when we’re not playing hide and seek with his brother’s 3-year-old twins. We love watching them grow and can’t wait to share that time with our own child.

Spending time with our longtime friends is always a blast! From pier fishing down in Huntington Beach to playing cards games at home, to big camping trips, we always love laughing and being around one another. We may not see each other all the time but when we do, it’s like no time has passed. Our friends all very supportive of our decision to adopt and look forward to meeting the new baby!

During the holidays, we have traditional Thanksgiving and Christmas meals and love to celebrate birthdays with some cake and obnoxious blow horns. On Molli’s Norwegian side, and passed down from her grandmother, her family makes traditional Lefse and Potato Dumplings with ham every Christmas. Jesse’s family loves tamales but also enjoys changing it up with Chinese food or good ole’ steak and potatoes.

We live in the town of Crestline, near Lake Gregory, in Southern California. The town offers many activities including a recreation center for sports, a nature trail around the lake that is 30 seconds from our home, fishing, two elementary schools, a middle school, and a high school, and throughout the year, various events such as farmers markets, parades, Water Lantern Festival, and high school performances for the locals. Everyone in our community is so friendly and always willing to lend a helping hand. We can’t wait to raise a child in this community!

We have three rescue dogs named Aria, Trigger and Stella. Our dogs are great with children and will make great companions to your child!

Aria, an Australian Cattle dog is beyond intelligent. She loves going for walks around the lake and then coming home and working on her skills such as spin, roll over and crawl.

Trigger, a mix, loves playing fetch with his toy chicken which we’ve named Jaime. The two things in life he loves the most are sleeping and playing with is toy.

Stella, a German Sheppard, is the most gentle, loving dog that thinks she is a lap dog. She loves playing with her tennis ball and sitting there to let me dress her in headbands and sunglasses.

Thank you for considering us as adoptive parents to your child! We promise to unconditionally love and cherish your child and provide them with opportunities to explore their dreams and passions. We will care for your child by cheering them on and provide support and guidance throughout their lives. In our house, we will raise our children in a safe environment with lots of laughter, love and adventure. We know this decision does not come lightly so we are very grateful for your choice of adoption and in us. Know that your decision will be the right one, whatever you chose.

Love,
Jesse and Molli
