Our Colombian Adoption Journey

The Amy and Jason Story May 4, 2008

  I realized today that not everyone that reads this will know us personally.  So, this post is for all those people (or maybe just 2 or 3 people that clicked on this in error) that would like to know us a little better.

We met on-line at resort.org (telnet chatter) in about 1998 and talked about nothing more then the weather and how was your day off and on for years.  Amy was known as Amalena and Jason was Brimstone.  Fast forward a couple years – Jason was talking on the phone to my old roommate and I spoke with him briefly once or twice…  one crazy night around March 2000 we were chatting on-line and Brimstone said he wanted to get to know Amalena better because he thought she was “neat”.

So fast forward to August 2001 and I moved from Minnesota to Connecticut to advance our long distance relationship and save us on the costly airline flights to visit each other. 

We moved to Philly  about 6-8 months later and both worked for the same Investment advisor.  Fast forward to October 2003 - we were engaged and planning our wedding for August 28, 2004 in Connecticut.  The investment advisor did layoffs and knew we were a package deal.    So December 2003 we moved back to Minnesota (where I am from).    We got married as planned.

Tried to conceive for 2.5 long years before deciding to adopt.

We live in a suburb about an hour south of Minneapolis.  We love our townhouse but hate the long drive.   We are both working on our first novels and hope to someday have successful published series.   Jason writes Sci-fi and Amy writes Supernatural Chic-lit (or at least thats what I call it).

Jason is in I.T and Amy is in mortgage

We have a snuggly 80lb Sheprador (Austrailan Sheppard/Lab mix) named Emma who will be 2 in June and a old tabby cat named Wyatt that turns 10 in August. 

There’s our basic story…
