You decide whether you would like to let them adopt your baby.

We are here for you to help make the decision that best suits your needs.

Dear Expectant Parents

Thank you for taking the time to read our letter and allowing us to introduce ourselves. We are Jon and Sonia. We met through Little People of America as children and grew up together. We fell in love sixteen years ago and just celebrated eleven years of marriage. We are a family centered, deeply devoted couple with a tremendous love for each other and for children. We always imagined we would start a family together. After experiencing infertility, we are excited to become parents through adoption.

We were both born with Achondroplasia (a form of dwarfism). Since the day we were first married we talked about someday starting a family. We are open to raising either a short statured child or one of average height. All children as they grow up face challenges. We both faced different challenges and we are anxious to share our experiences with our child. We are very involved in the organization, the Little People of America, and have developed a wonderful network of friends and support. As children growing up, our parents sought the support of the organization in helping us both to learn to adapt to different situations in everyday life such as driving a car and buying clothes that fit properly. As we grew older, the organization became more of a social group for us and eventually brought the two of us together. We now give back to the group the same support to younger kids and families that we were given growing up.

Sonia, by Jon

Sonia is a very loving, caring, and determined person. She has wanted to be a mother ever since we got married. Sonia graduated from high school and has a degree in dental assisting. After working several years as a registered dental assistant, she currently works as a dental insurance claims examiner where she authorizes the payment of dental claims from all over the United States. Once we adopt, Sonia will become a stay-at-home mom. When not working, Sonia loves spending time with her mom, sister, and our three nieces. She has learned a lot watching all three girls grow up and is anxious to raise a family and share the same love and nurturing with a child of her own. In addition to spending time with family, Sonia enjoys spending time working in the yard with me and traveling. We have enjoyed spending time in many different parts of the world. Someday we hope to take our child to learn about different parts of the world.

Jon, by Sonia

Jon is an outgoing person. He values taking life one day at a time and makes the best out of each situation. He has a strong positive outlook on life. Jon graduated from Westmont, a Christian liberal arts college and has built a career in sales. For the past four years he has worked as a sales representative for a national payroll and human resource company where he manages a relationship with over fifty banks across Northern California. Jon enjoys working in the yard and on different projects throughout the house. In his leisure time, he enjoys traveling to different parts of the world, and socializing with friends and family. Jon has been going to professional baseball games with his father since he was about six years old. Every year, they get partial season tickets and are eagerly awaiting the day they get to initiate their child/grandchild into this rite of passage.

Our Values and Who We Are

We were both raised in loving Christian homes. Our shared beliefs center around traditional and conservative values. When we were first dating, this was one of the things that attracted us to each other. We believe that the strength of our marriage is based upon our deep friendship and love for each other and will raise a child so that he or she will know, each and every day, that they are loved. We will raise a child to respect elders, while at the same time have a strong self-esteem so that he or she will have confidence in their own set of beliefs and values, and not be easily influenced by others. We will provide a solid education, which will include college and all of the other opportunities afforded to us.

Our Home

We live in a suburb in Northern California, near San Francisco. Our single story ranch style home consists of three bedrooms and two bathrooms. We have a large backyard with a nice size patio and lawn area. We enjoy spending lots of time outdoors in our yard whether it is gardening or having friends over for a barbecue. Inside the house, we have enjoyed remodeling projects. Our neighborhood consists of a mix of everyone from young families to older retired couples. It is a quiet close-knit community with a great school system and plenty of parks for recreational activities.

Our Families

Although we were born with Achondroplasia, both sets of our parents and all of our siblings are of average stature. Jon’s parents have been married for 48 years and live in a nearby town. Jon is 40 years old and the oldest of three siblings. Jon’s brother and sister are both adopted. His younger brother was adopted at two months old from the United States, and his younger sister was adopted at 13 months old from Korea.

Sonia’s parents were married for 47 years before Sonia’s father passed away in the summer of 2002. Sonia’s mother lives nearby. Sonia is 35 and the youngest of three siblings. Her sister and brother-in-law have three girls who are anxiously awaiting the arrival of their new cousin-to-be.

Our families are a very important part of our lives. Aside from celebrating holidays and birthdays together, we all get together every Sunday night for family dinners. Our family has a vacation house on a lake in a Northern California lake resort and we enjoy spending many summer weekends with our extended family where we go fishing, boating, and swimming. Our families are extremely excited about welcoming the new addition.

Final Thoughts

Together we share a loving relationship built on trust, mutual respect, and commitment to our family. We value the strong foundation that comes through a solid family upbringing and a faith based in traditional Christian values. We will provide a child with every opportunity to become an educated self-thinking and respected individual in our society.
