“…whoever welcomes a child like this…. welcomes Me.”
A Letter from Harold & Jasmine
Hello! We are Harold & Jasmine, and we are hoping to adopt our first child! We love family traditions, traveling, and visiting our family. Our commitment to parenthood is rooted in unwavering love, faith, stability, and an environment that fosters growth. Our home is filled with warmth, laughter, forgiveness, and a genuine dedication to ensuring our child flourishes under our care. We would be honored to be selected by you and are open to keeping in contact with updates, photos, letters and yearly visits.
About Us
We are a couple brought together by fate, our love story intertwining through shared passions and a deep connection that transcends time. Our journey began when we met at college in 2007 as members of our respective Greek Organizations. We quickly became friends and kept in touch after graduation; a few years later we got married after Jasmine relocated to Northern VA and have been married for 8 years. We enjoy hanging out at home playing games, watching movies, trying new foods, and volunteering in our local community.
For years, we knew we wanted to have a child of our own. Unfortunately, after numerous attempts, we have been unsuccessful having biological children. Adoption is the best option for us and one we want to pursue. Adoption is very personal to us because Jasmine was adopted at an early age and raised by two loving parents. She knows how adoption saved her life and molded her into the person that she is today.
About Jasmine
Harold says: Jasmine is a loving, loyal, and beautiful soul who has natural motherly instincts. She will lend a helping hand whenever needed and supports you unconditionally because she has a heart full of compassion. She is strong in her faith and keeps God first in her life. She serves at our church and is a Team Lead in the nursery ministry. Children are her passion, and she has always wanted to be a mother. Jasmine is a free spirit who enjoys having fun and making people laugh. She is an entertainer whose laughter echoes throughout our home and expresses joy even in the simplest moments. Jasmine loves to create and make stuff by hand, baking, and anything that deals with music. She sings, dances, and played in the marching band in high school. Jasmine is a great role model for her teenage nieces because they can see a strong successful woman who is not afraid to be herself.
Jasmine is a Chiropractor and active in her sorority. She has given so much to her career and the community but is now ready to put that energy into being a mother. She embodies qualities that make her not only my better half, but a beacon of love for our future family. In her free time, she serves the local community at soup kitchens, participates in the St. Jude and March of Dimes Walks, exercises, watches Hallmark, tends to her garden, and makes crafts with her Cricut machine.
About Harold
Jasmine says: Harold is a strong, calm, and kind man who makes sure that he puts others’ needs before his own. He is a person that is very reliable and will drop anything to help someone else. He has a strong faith and is a mentor to those around him. Harold is very fun, competitive, and a Dallas Cowboys Super fan. Harold has been a father figure to his cousin’s sons as their dad was not in their lives growing up.
Harold is a Physical Scientist which gives him great flexibility to work from home, and he also teaches Organic Chemistry part-time at the local university. It was important for him to pick careers that allowed flexibility for family expansion and also provide our family with stability. In Harold’s spare time he gives back to the community, works out, loves to cook and watch sports, and spends quality time with his family.
Our Family
We are blessed to have a huge support system from Virginia to Connecticut. We split time between both of our families by alternating holiday trips to VA Beach and Bloomfield, CT. We attend special events, summer cookouts, and family vacations. Our parents come to our home during Thanksgiving and Christmas where we play games, cook, and fellowship. Both families are very supportive and excited about us adding a new addition to the family!
We also have an extended family that includes our church family, as well as our fraternity and sorority families! They are our brothers and sisters who love us and help us whenever needed. We spend a lot of time with them and their families doing various activities. They are also a part of our family structure and are also excited to be the extended village to the new addition to our family.
Our dog, Klay, adds a lot of fun to our family too!
Our Home in Virginia
We currently live in a 3-story townhouse in Northern VA near parks, malls, historic landmarks, and plenty of child friendly places. We spend time grilling on our deck and taking walks through our neighborhood with our little dog. We love to host friends over for dinners, birthday parties, and other special events throughout the year.
We live in a friendly, culturally diverse neighborhood full of kids. Within our community we have large community centers, pools, basketball and tennis courts, and playgrounds. Our home is the ideal location to raise a family. There is plenty to do in the Northern VA area as we are located between Washington, DC and the Shenandoah Valley.
Our Promise to You
Our promise is to be steadfast, supportive, and compassionate parents. We pledge to create a home where your child feels cherished, encouraged to dream big, and empowered to become the best version of themselves. Our goal is to also continue to share in your life so that your child knows that his/her family is a large village grounded in love. Our journey into parenthood is guided by love, respect, and an unyielding commitment to nurturing a bright and joy-filled future.
We’d love to talk or answer any of your questions. Please call or text Lifetime at 1.800.923.6784.
