From Spencer's parents

Spencer and Jessica are two of the most kind and compassionate people I know. Spencer has a cousin that is 23 years older than him so he didn't know him very well. His cousin got Leukemia. Even though they didn't know him very well, Spencer and Jessica went and visited him in the hospital. When he was able to get out of the hospital, they took him to dinner. They just took him under their wing. They even had a fund raiser for him and then planned a family dinner for him.

Whatever Spencer and Jessica do, they do it with their whole heart and soul. They give 110%. Jessica is a wonderful nurse and Spencer can do almost anything when it comes to home repairs. They are both very hard workers., but they find the time to help others.

We love them so much!

We know that Spencer and Jess will be amazing parents!! They both have the kindest hearts! Any child will be so lucky to have them as parents. Jess is so kind and always looking out for others! I know she will be an incredible mother and love her kids unconditionally! She has put on some fun parties for our kids to enjoy. She always goes the extra mile! Spencer is so personable. Always willing to step in and help anyone. Spencer is a fantastic uncle and our kids absolutely love him! They are both hard workers!! They believe in what they do and are great at everything they put their minds to! We are so excited for them to have their own family. We know they will be incredible!!!

From Jessica's brother's wife

Jessie and Spencer are the aunt and uncle to my sweet little boys. They are such a strong couple and have so much going for them. They have strong values with a great love for each other, their Savior, and their family. Our nieces and nephews just adore them both! They are so wonderful to them all.

I know they will make such wonderful, caring, loving, and patient parents. Their child will also be adored by many loving aunts, uncles and cousins, not to mention wonderful grandparents who would do anything for their grandchildren!! I married into this wonderful family and have been blown away by the love and kindness that is shown by all. This is a wonderfully close family that I am just in awe of every day. Each person is so supportive and there for you at a moments notice. Not only does a child need wonderful parents, which Jessie and Spencer will be, they need love that comes from aunts and uncles and cousins and grandparents. My little boys just adore their cousins and talk about their grandma's and grandpa's on a daily basis. Being a mother, this makes me so happy that I know that there are so many people who love and adore my boys in this family!! Your children become your whole world and having such a supportive family unit behind you makes it so much for fulfilling.

I am grateful for Spencer and Jessie's faithfulness and their trust in the Lord. They are an example to us all. I am so excited for the day when we get to meet their little one!!

From Jessica's cousin

Jess is my husband's cousin.  We do not live close enough to see them interact with children on a regular basis, but I do know that Spencer and Jess have an incredible relationship with one another.  I echo Shari (Jessica's mom) in saying that it says a lot about them that they have become closer together during their trial of infertility than falling apart.   A strong bond as husband and wife is evidence that they can endure any hardship that comes their way.  They make a wonderful example to their future children of what a beautiful, real marriage looks like.   I know that Jess and Spencer are people of strong faith and moral courage.  They have huge hearts and would make wonderful, loving parents and would provide a stable, fun, loving home.  We pray that they will be blessed with the opportunity to have a family.  I urge you to consider them as the adoptive parents of your sweet baby. 

Sincerely,
Brooke Woolstenhulme

From Jessica's cousin

Jess is my cousin. She was always my role model growing up! She was so kind and nurturing when we were young. Now she is an amazing wife, aunt, cousin and nurse. I have a 3 year old daughter and both Jess and Spencer are so cute with her! My little girl goes on and on about Spencer whenever she sees him. I love them and look forward to the day when they get to become amazing parents too.
Sincerely, Cara Short

From Jessica's Mom

Through the years, I have come to believe that Jessica and Spencer have become soul mates, and I know through this time of tribulation in their life, finding out that they couldn't have children of their own has brought them closer together rather than tearing them apart, and that alone, I think makes them great candidates for parenthood. This has shown me that they will stay together through thick and thin and in todays world that is a rare thing!

Jessica and Spencer have so much love to give, it breaks my heart, to see them with their nieces and nephews, who love them dearly and love to spend time with them. Jess and Spencer spend as much time with them as they possibly can. When they come to the family parties, the kids just run to them and cling to them when they have to leave.

Jess and Spencer have a beautiful home and both have great jobs.  Jessica is a Nurse and Spencer works with Christensen Heating and Electric and is continuing his education. They are financially very capable of taking care of children. Being a Mom myself, and if I had to place a child for adoption, for the child's best interest, Jess and Spencer would be my first choice. They have already worked it out with their work schedule, that one of them would be with the baby all the time. But they have many family members that would love to be able to watch Halford Jr.

I can promise that this baby, that I call Halford Jr. ( Not knowing whether the baby will be a boy or girl) will be LOVED, and brought up to be a great human being, with character, morals and integrity, because these are the traits that they have.

I watched Jessica and Spencer with their little Shih tzu, Paysley. She was almost 5 when they found out that she had kidney failure and they did everything in their power for little Paysley, and when there was nothing left to do for her, but let her go peacefully, they took her to be laid to rest and buried her in their backyard. My heart broke for them, they loved that sweet little dog with all their heart, and they were also going through the pain of finding out they couldn't have children of their own.

One thing I know about Jess and Spencer, when they are blessed with Little Halford Jr., that this baby will be the most Blessed and Loved Baby in the world.

I know it is only a matter of time that Jess and Spencer will be blessed with this child. And I pray everyday that it is soon. We know it's in God's hands, and we are patient because we know it will happen.
