We’d love to share a little bit about us, why we’re ready to adopt, and why we’ll make great parents.
How Philippe Describes Jaime
Jaime is kind and giving, has a contagious zest for life, and a sense of humor to match. She’s a kid at heart, loves to “play,” and has a unique gift of making everyone around her feel special.
Jaime works hard, but knows how to unwind with some of the juiciest reality television she can find. “Real Housewives” and “Below Deck” happen to be two of her favorites!
Christmas is Jaime’s favorite holiday (if she could still believe in Santa, she would), and it’s so much fun to watch her decorate the house and recreate family traditions.
Jaime will be a wonderful mom. She’ll raise your child with love, compassion, and tenderness, and she’ll teach your child how to thrive and make the right decisions in life.
A Little More About Jaime
I grew up in NJ with my older brother and younger sister. We’re best friends, see each other often, and can’t wait to introduce our child to their cousins!
My Dad was in the Army and my Mom was a teacher, but they are now retired and living in South Carolina. We get to see them at least 4 times a year and love making the trip down—especially because they live next door to the best BBQ joint you’ll ever find!
Growing up, I loved babysitting, soccer, swimming, and anything that involved being on stage. I was in a band, a comedy group, and loved being in school plays.
I can’t wait to see what sports and activities your child will enjoy!

Made it to the top of a mountain while hiking in Canada.
Trying to recreate a mural in Brooklyn—how did I do?!
It’s the little things that make me happy—like ordering a full stack of pancakes!
How Jaime Describes Philippe
Philippe’s a pretty amazing person. His laughter is infectious and his smile will overcome even the hardest of frowns.
Philippe’s life wasn’t easy, but watching him grow from his hard times has been such a lesson for me. He has found a way to turn his journey into a passion to help others.
Whether it’s friends, strangers, or even the children he coaches, he always finds a way to connect with someone and have a positive impact on their day. That’s why I know he’ll make a great Dad. I see it every day in the way he cares for the kids he coaches—and how he loves our nieces and nephews.
A Little More About Philippe
I was born in Philly, right after my parents moved here from Belgium. I was an only child, but kept very busy with sports. I played hockey and tennis competitively, although some would say that I should have played football given my 6’5 size! My love for tennis eventually won, and I am now a professional tennis coach.
I love to help young people see their potential, build confidence, and excel in their passion—and can’t wait to share this with our child one day!
