Meet JP and Carolyn, a down-to-earth, dependable, and hard-working adoptive couple living in Maryland. They would love to expand their happy family and share their lives with a child through adoption! JP and Carolyn have been blessed with one child, and after experiencing secondary infertility, their journey has led them to the gift of adoption. If you’d like, JP and Carolyn welcome an open adoption, and hope you know how special you would always be to them.
Together, they love to have fun date nights at least once a month, laugh together at comedy shows, relax and watch tv before bed, and enjoy a friendly competition of foosball. They created this short and sweet video to introduce themselves and share more about what they have to offer your child. Keep scrolling to learn more about this active Christian couple in Maryland!
JP and Carolyn have been married for six years and have a three-year-old daughter, Penny. As a family, they enjoy quality time together at the park down the road, their community pool, or going for a walk in the neighborhood. The nearby park has a farm, and Penny really enjoys seeing the animals.
They live in a three-bedroom home located in a tight-knit Maryland community. Their town is safe and family-oriented, with year-around events for children such as parades, festivals, egg hunts, and fireworks. JP and Carolyn’s neighborhood is an hour away from a couple of large, metropolitan cities. So JP and Carolyn are close enough to major cities to enjoy the benefits of those, but also far enough away to enjoy peace and quiet. On the weekends, they love to go to the city aquariums, museums, or a minor league baseball game. You can watch JP and Carolyn’s adoptive family video right here to get a glimpse into their lives!
