Jacob and Molly

Thank you for the courage you had to choose life for this child.

Letter to the Birthmother

Dear Birthmother, Thank you so much for taking the time to get to know us! You are a very special person to our family. We pray daily for you and your child and continue to pray that God will guide and direct your steps moving forward. Thank you for the courage you had to choose life for this child. We are honored to be writing this letter to you and to share our story with you. We are Jake and Molly. We have been married for 2 years. Jake owns his own company installing doors, frames, and hardware in commercial buildings. I was an elementary school teacher for 5 years, but now currently work as the administration for our church. We do not have any children. We always knew at some point in our marriage we wanted to adopt. After not getting pregnant over these past two years, we believe the Lord is leading us to adopt first. Our faith and family are very important to us. We are very active in our church – both serving in multiple areas – and are excited to raise our family on the foundation of Christ, loving and leading in our church. We both have big families who are excited to welcome a new little one into the family! Jake is outgoing, creative, faithful, and funny. He loves to be active, sing & play guitar, and spend intentional time with friends & family. “Molly is gentle, caring, and selfless. She loves to cook & bake, garden, and spend intentional time with friends & family.” We love to travel around the US and countries overseas. We value learning about different countries and their cultures. Please know that your child will be raised knowing how much you love them and how selfless you were to make the courageous decision of adoption. We are so excited to welcome a child into our home soon. We are sending you love, prayer, and support in Jesus’ name! With Love, Jake and Molly

About Us

We first met at our church in 2019. We both served as youth leaders in our Student Ministry and had the same circle of friends. The more we were around each other, the more we wanted to be. We became close friends, and both knew in our hearts that we wanted to be more than friends. September 2021 – I had jaw surgery. I do not remember this, but Jake was the first person I texted after waking up from surgery, with a very unflattering selfie. That moment is what gave him the assurance to pursue a relationship. At the end of September, we went on a hike with some of our friends. This day was filled with a lot of spontaneity, fun, and laughter. Jake states he knew after this day that he was ready for forever with me. The next day after church, he asked me to get ice cream. We spent 9 hours talking and sharing stories from our lives. April 2022, we got engaged and on October 10, 2022, we got married! We’ve made so many memories together and love each other even more than the day before. We are each other’s best friend. Jake is the most hard-working, kind-hearted, selfless man. Jake – I love tennis, soccer, and being active as a whole – regardless of the sport! I love geography and history, and enjoy reading about the topics, this spills over into my love for traveling. I lead worship at church and lead the young adult ministry – ages 18-25 – with Molly. I also am the owner of my own construction company. “Molly is incredibly nurturing, selfless like no other, the most fun person, and the absolute best home maker.” Molly – I love spending time with friends and family, baking & cooking, playing tennis, spending time outside & in the garden, traveling (our favorite place in the world is London). I work for our church but will be a stay at home mom once we have children. Together we love to play tennis, go for walks/hikes, spend intentional quality time together goofing off, time with friends & family, and we love to travel and see the world!

New Beginnings Preliminary Application

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.
