Andrew and Jessica

We are humbled and honored that you would consider our family to raise your child. Children are an incredible blessing and we fully support your decision as a mother. Your child will be raised in a home full of love and compassion.

Letter to the Birthmother

Dear Birthmother, Our family and I have been and continue to pray for you even though we have not met before. I would imagine that this decision you are making is bringing so much hesitation, fear, and even pain along with it. I’m sure it’s the most difficult decision you’ve made in your lifetime. It’s also the most selfless thing a mother could do. A good mother always does what’s best for her child even if it brings pain into her own life. You will always be a hero in your child’s story, a selfless person who entrusted what she loved most in life into the hands of another family. This child will always know that this is a major part of their story. We are humbled and honored that you would consider our family to raise your child. Children are an incredible blessing and we fully support your decision as a mother. Your child will be raised in a home full of love and compassion. This set of parents and our 8 year old daughter Arabella will embrace this child as our own. We will teach this child about the love of Jesus. We will champion them in all of their causes, and we will be the biggest support throughout life. We have much love to give to the child God brings into our family. There is an abundance of extended family members, including grandparents and lots of young cousins who are waiting to welcome a child. This child will be safe, protected, and cared for in every possible way. We will continue to pray for you that God would give you great peace and comfort during this difficult journey.

About Us

We always laugh because we should have met before we did. Andrew’s family came to my (Jessica’s) church when we were teenagers to preach and neither of us remember the other. All we can figure out is maybe I (Jessica) was out of town that Sunday. We just say God knew it wasn’t the right time for us to meet! When we did finally meet in our mid-20s it was through a mutual acquaintance. Andrew has moved from California to Mississippi to be a youth pastor and Jessica had moved from Texas to Ohio to teach at a Christian School. Jessica came to Mississippi to a youth conference that Andrew was at with the youth group he was over at the time. Although it was an awkward “Andrew this is Jessica-Jessica this is Andrew” introduction and then us left standing alone. We hit it off and talked all night (with the interruptions of many of the teens in Andrew’s youth group who tried their best to embarrass him as he talked to a girl). Jessica is as real and genuine as any person could be. She is down to earth and connects easily with others. She never stops working whether it’s cooking and cleaning, homeschooling our daughter, or serving people in our church and community. She is always busy giving of herself to others. She loves fiercely and has a passion to see her children succeed and to be great in all areas of their lives. And with that, her children will always come first before any other pressure of responsibility gets in the way. She believes and often expresses that her greatest ministry is to raise and nurture her children. Andrew is kind and gentle. He truly cares for people no matter their background or life circumstances. He has given his life to helping others as a youth pastor, traveling minister, and not senior pastor. He is a strong Christian leader not only to those he is a pastor of but most importantly of his family. He is a patient and attentive listener. He is able to love and care for so many but make his family his first priority. He is our families personal comedian and makes everyday fun. He is a very present father that reads books giving character accents and plays no matter if it’s a board game, Mario cart on the Nintendo, or the prince in one of Arabella’s plays.

New Beginnings Preliminary Application

New Beginnings Statement of Faith

PROSPECTIVE ADOPTIVE APPLICANTS SHOULD SIGN BELOW TO ACKNOWLEDGE THEIR FULL AGREEMENT WITH AND ADHERENCE TO THE FOLLOWING STATEMENTS OF FAITH.

New Beginnings Statement of Faith

The Statement of Faith is an essential foundation for our ministry.

We believe:

  • That the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments are inspired by God, inerrant in the original writings serving as the only infallible authoritative Word of God for faith and life.
  • There is one living and true God, the Creator, who exemplifies Himself as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
  • Jesus is both fully God and fully man, born of the virgin Mary, lived a sinless life, died on the cross to pay our debts, physically rose from the dead, ascended into heaven, is seated at the right hand of the Father, and will return to establish His reign.
  • Jesus Christ is the only mediator between God and man interceding on behalf of those who accept Him as Lord and Savior. His death on the cross served as an atoning sacrifice, and whoever believes in Him and repents of their sins is justified on the ground of His shed blood.
  • That God created mankind, both male and female, in His image, that mankind sinned by disobeying God resulting in both physical and spiritual death, that because of the fall every human being is born into sin and stands guilty before God.
  • Salvation is a wholly free gift of Grace given solely by God and is not the work, in whole or in part, of human works or goodness or religious ceremony. God extends His righteousness to those who place their faith in Christ alone for their salvation and thereby justified them in His sight.
  • The Holy Spirit reveals and glorifies Christ and continues the saving work of Christ to individuals. The Holy Spirit convicts and draws sinners to Christ, delivers new life to them, dwells within new believers, empowers and guides believers into godly living, and seals them until the day of redemption.
  • That the resurrection of the dead includes all mankind, the believer to life everlasting and the unbeliever to eternal condemnation.
  • That God created the world as described in the book of Genesis, that He created male and female in His image ascribing gender biologically at conception and establishing marriage between one man and one woman as the first covenant relationship.
  • In the value and sanctity of human life from conception until natural death.
  • That adoption is the gospel and is presented as the means God uses to bring new believers into His family. Adoption is also affirmed in Scripture, demonstrated by the adoption of Moses and the adoption of Christ by his earthly father Joseph.
  • That Christ called all believers to proclaim the Gospel throughout the world and to disciple people of every nation. We believe that adoption is part of fulfilling this calling.
