Meet Tori & Jacob P.
Dear expectant family,
Thank you for taking the time to learn a little about us. Through our profile, we hope you feel the love we have for each other, our family, friends, and our future children.
Adoption holds a special place in our hearts, and we do not enter into this space lightly since Tori spent years in and out of the foster care system, and was eventually adopted.
About Us
By Tori – Jacob has an incredible servants heart. People tell me all of the time that they are amazed at how good of a father and husband he is. We homeschool our children, and twice a week we go to a hybrid-school, where homeschooled children attend classes. Moms educate their children as the teachers at the school, and Jacob is the only father involved, who also participates as a teacher. He balances work and family better than any man I know and always puts our family first. He plays LEGOs and board games and makes puzzles with the kids everyday.
Jacob buys and flips properties, working hard to restore them. Sometimes he even brings the kids along, and they have gotten to learn the value of hard work as well as practical skills to renovating and keeping a home. We are all Green Bay Packer fans thanks to Jacob’s football redesigns, and we love all things sports as former athletes
By Jacob – Tori is the most empathetic and compassionate person you will ever meet. At the same time, she is the most protective and fierce mom. Tori loves cooking with kids and makes the most delicious meals for our family. Being a mom is her greatest joy and honor, but she is also a very active community member. She volunteers with local nonprofits and balances that with creating the best play dates for the kids! She is an author and a speaker, and has helped so many people with her inspiring story and words. So many people and our kids look up to her so much.
Meet the kids
Our first-born biological son is currently 8 years old. He loves to play hockey and football, and as a family who loves sports we really enjoy watching him. He is a kind and protective brother to his little sisters. He spends a lot of time outside in nature and swimming at his grandma’s house! He is so excited to have another sibling and really understands the heart behind adoption.
Our second-born child and daughter is currently 6. She enjoys running and gymnastics, and just playing with her friends and siblings. She loves helping Tori cook in the kitchen. We recently bought her a camera and she is loving taking photos and capturing the family’s memories. Her and her brother play LEGOs together often and also loves playing at local parks.
Our third-born child and daughter loves cuddles from mom and dad, raspberries on her belly, and watching her big siblings be goofy. And her big siblings love to make her laugh.
Our Promise to You
If we could tell you anything right now, it would be that you are seen, you are loved, and you are brave. You are not alone. We want you to know that we will be praying fervently over you and your upcoming decision.
God has opened our hearts to loving a child through adoption unconditionally. If you should consider us as parents for your child, we promise to provide a home with lots of love, opportunity, and unconditional support.
May you find peace, confidence, and all the strength we know is inside. Thinking about you.
With love,
Tori & Jacob
