We are Brad and Jerica. We have been married for 11 years. We have three boys; Owen, Briggs and Benny. We are delighted to open our home up to adoption because we believe the Lord has invited us to love another child. These three boys are over the moon excited to welcome another sibling to our family. Brad works as an engineer. He gets to work part time remotely at home and part time in his local office. We homeschool our children and Jerica is a stay at home mom and the primary educator of the kids. We live on 5 acres in the country near our church, friends, and and family. Our family enjoys spending outside and exploring the world God has made. We are deeply connected to our family and friends. We have more support than we could ask or imagine as we grow as a family. We hope to talk to you soon!
Brad has a bachelors degree in engineering and a masters degree in business. He works as a full time engineer and is currently working a hybrid position. He works 2 days out of the house and 3 days from the home office. Brad is devoted to his family. His personality is laid back but responsible. He believes providing for his family spiritually, emotionally, and financially is one of God's greatest calls on his life. He is gentle, protective, and dedicated to spending time with our children. They enjoy being outside together and playing games and sports. He is always there to help out friends and family in whatever ways they need. He also is on several boards for local community programs where he uses his talents to help our community.
Jerica is a stay at home mom. We are a homeschool family and she is the primary teacher of our children. She has found so much joy in teaching the children from sun-up to sun-down as a way of life. Being a wife and mother is where she feels most aligned with God's purpose in her life. She is nurturing, compassionate, and loving. Jerica is thoughtful and soft spoken by nature and has a big heart for others. She loves spending time with our children especially teaching them things of God. She is also very devoted to our community. This ranges from volunteering at our local homeschool co-op or being out in the community. One example the summer sack lunch program she started to provide daily meals for school.
We live near Jerica's Mother, Father and Sister. Jerica's parents are the primary babysitters or caregiver when we need additional help. Jerica's parents have always been devoted to our family and her sister would consider being an aunt as her greatest gift in life. We are also surrounded by Jerica's paternal aunt, uncles, cousins and grandma.
After completed high school I attended SIUE School of Pharmacy and obtained a Doctorate in Pharmacy. I worked in a local pharmacy for 9 years until recently decided to quit my paid occupation to work fully as a stay at home mom and the educator of our children. I have thoroughly enjoyed caring for the sick as a pharmacist however, I feel most called to the work inside my home. To care for and educate my children and to prepare our home as a place where we can all thrive and grow in Christ.
