WAITING FAMILIES

Jarvis and Victoria

Dear Birthmother,

Our names are Jarvis and Victoria, and we are honored and blessed that you are considering us for your most precious gift in the world. We want you to know you already have an important place in our hearts and lives as you consider us to love and raise your beautiful child.  Though we have not met, you exemplify a level of bravery and selflessness that is a paradigm for humanity, and for that, we admire you.  Jarvis and I know that this is not an easy decision for you, and that your measure of sacrifice is only surpassed by the love you must feel for this child.  However, we are thankful that you chose life and allowed God to Order Your Steps which led you to this process, and potentially to us.

We have always wanted a family. The idea of bringing a child of love into our happy family has been a driving force in our relationship since the beginning. Though our love and faith are strong, we have faced a challenging infertility journey, and that loss has only brought us closer to each other and to God.  While we still strive to have biological children, adoption has always been a desire of our hearts.  Victoria and I will provide a loving, stable, fun, home deeply rooted in Christian values and the love of Jesus Christ.  Your child will be the center of our lives and we will be totally devoted to his/her happiness and safety. If we are blessed to be chosen to be a part of your journey.  We Thank You!

About Us

Jarvis- I am a 43-year-old Christian man.  I attended Florida State University.  I have been in the hotel management industry for over 20 years. I am currently an Associate Director of Operations in a Hospitality company. I enjoy science fiction, history, film and music of all genres.  I am a HUGE nerd. I have a wealth of knowledge with facts that don’t benefit our daily lives in any way, shape or form.  Victoria thinks I should go on a game show. 

Victoria- I am a 41-year-old Christian woman.  I attended Spelman College in Atlanta, Georgia and graduated with a bachelor’s degree in economics in 2005.  I have been in the financial industry since 2011.  I have held many roles but now I’m a Senior Partner Support Specialist.  I assist financial consultants and branch partners with researching client needs.  I am a loving person who enjoys living life to the fullest. My favorite pass time is spending time with my family and specifically my husband.  I like to listen to music, watch movies, travel, and go to concerts.  I love to read, and my favorite genre is mystery and suspense novels.  I love the beach, I love the pool, I love the water, but I cannot swim.  Hopefully, I will attend swimming with our child(ren).

We met for the first time in 2003 while attending college in different states.  We did not pursue a relationship at that time.  Fast forward 14 years later and we reconnected in 2018.  I moved to West Palm Beach, Florida, for work with my cousin. My cousin was Jarvis’s fraternity brother and worked for him at the time.  We began to spend time together and considered ourselves the 3 Musketeers.  Within 3 months of our reconnection, we began to date, met each other’s families, and Jarvis asked my father for my hand in marriage.  One month later we were married.  Jarvis proposed on August 16, 2018, and we were married on August 30th, two weeks later.  

Our Home / Community

Our home is our peace, our sanctuary, and our safe space where happiness, fun, love and faith can flourish and thrive.

We live in a 3000 sq ft, four-bedroom, three-bathroom one story home with a two-car garage on a ½ acre in a family friendly subdivision.  We love our open floor plan and large fenced back yard that is perfect for indoor and outdoor family activities.  We love our large fenced in yard, where our dog Butterfly loves to run and play.  The only thing missing is our child/children to keep her company. We also love the neighborhood.  It’s very pretty, family friendly, safe, and a perfect area for morning or evening walks. We often take walks through the area and its very safe with friendly neighbors.  The neighborhood is conveniently located near schools, police departments, hospitals and fun activities. 

The best part of the house is how we made it a home.  It’s truly a reflection of our personalities and a safe space for creativity, learning, and the love of Christ.  There is a sense of warmth and love that exudes off every inch of our home and we can’t wait to share it with a child(ren).  

Family Activities / Traditions

We both come from large families, so your child will be joining a family with lots of cousins, aunts, uncles, grandmas and grandpas. As a family, we love spending time together. Each year we alternate Holidays with our family by them coming to visit us in Mississippi or us visiting them in Florida.  We will visit one set of family members on either Thanksgiving or Christmas in Florida and then the second set of family members will join us at our home for the alternate holiday.  This has been a tradition since we were married.  Additionally, both families get along so well that each is always invited to the others family gatherings.   

We love to hear live music, attend the theater and movies, visit attractions, frequent art and outdoor festivals, and travel.  Our goal is to visit every state in the United States and travel abroad so that we can learn about other cultures as a family.

Our Adoption Journey

We knew from the day that we began to date that we had a desire to have a family.  Our journey was to have both biological children and adopt.  After several rounds of fertility treatments, we were blessed to have had one child, who was born at 20 weeks on January 26, 2022.  Unfortunately, our son died in our arms shortly after birth.  This did not discourage our desire to add to our family.  We know that God has a plan for us and for our family.  With a lot of prayer and counseling from our spiritual family, we decided the next step in our journey would be adoption.  We have so much love to give and know that what God has for us will be for us.
