We met 15 years ago, each other's
first true love. We have been happily
married for almost 12 years and look
forward to spending the rest of our
lives together as the best of friends,
life partners and with hopefulness,
parents. It is amazing how much
we have grown over the years as individual's and after 7 years of infertility our love for each other continues to grow stronger. We truly enjoy each other's company. We share in making decisions, cleaning house, grocery shopping and working in the yard. We encourage each other to try new things and to continue to grow as individuals. We have dreamed of having a family for as long as we both can remember.. Having a child to love, support, teach and nurture will make our family complete.
Jerry:
“ Jerry is a loving, caring and gentle man. He is one the most beautiful people I have ever met. He is kind hearted and has never met a stranger. Jerry enjoys being outdoors, working in the yard and around the house. He loves to tell jokes and make people laugh. We have tons of fun together just hanging out around the house, sharing in chores and most of all just laying around talking and watching movies together. During the summer you will find Jerry and some of our nieces and nephews out on the lake in our boat, bright and early for some fishing. I have seen him sit and play grocery store with our goddaughter Chastity for hours and have the best time. He will be a wonderful father and role model for any
child. “He is the neatest person I know”!

Kristie:
“Kristie is the love of my life. She is a kind, loving and affectionate person. She is very compassionate and has an amazing love for animals. I love the look in her eyes when she is playing with our nieces, nephews and friends children. Kristie is creative, honest, open minded and loves to learn new things. She gets so excited about girl's night out, when she takes our little nieces out to dinner and a girly movie and has just as much fun with our nephews wrestling or jumping on the trampoline. Kristie has brought many great things into our relationship and has taught me to grow and try new things. I know she will make a wonderful mother and pass many great gifts onto our child. I enjoy laughing and playing, working in the yard together or just spending quite time with her.”
“ It also takes a special person to sit and listen to my corny jokes, and laugh any way !”

Thanks for reading our story. We chose open adoption because we feel that it is important for our child to know his/her birthparents and for them to know how much love, commitment and trust was put into making this decision. We are truly blessed with overwhelming support from our family, friends and co-workers. We promise to provide a lifetime of unconditional love, happiness, openness, emotional and financial support to any child we are blessed with. There is no way for us to know the pain and heartache you are going through as you choose parents for your child and if we are not the ones we wish you all the love and support you deserve. We would love to talk to you and give you the opportunity to learn more about us and to learn more about you too!
We hope that you will call us or if you prefer contact our counselor at Independent Adoption Center 1-800-877-OPEN.
With Deep Sincerity and Hopefulness,
Kristie & Jerry Johnson
Our Home : 
We have ten acres and an adorable Victorian style house located in a rural city just south of Atlanta, Georgia. We love our little town and all it has to offer, from the park around the corner to the ice cream shop on Main street. The school is close and during the holiday seasons our little town is filled with wonderful decorations created by the local school children . We have the perfect place for children to grow and explore all the wonders of the world and will be surrounded by our gentle and loving animals. We look forward to building that tree-fort or playhouse, playing ball, having tea-parties, playing dress-up and hearing the sounds of little feet scurrying across the floor on Christmas Morning. We can't wait for our child to climb in to bed early Saturday morning to watch their favorite cartoons.

Our Family:
We were both raised in very loving and stable homes and have a very strong belief that family comes first. Since our families live so close (no more than 20 mins away) we see them all the time. Our nieces and nephews (all 13 of them) love to come over and hang out. There is so much to do! From jumping on the trampoline, swimming, swinging, riding their bikes or for a ride with Uncle Jerry on his dirt bike (their favorite). We have so much fun hanging out with them, their personalities are all so different, it is amazing watching them grow along with the anticipation of what one of them will say next. They are so excited that they will finally have a new cousin to play with ( they have been begging us for years!) Our family and friends are overjoyed and anxiously wait to greet our new baby with open arms and loving hearts.

More about us: We love to travel to a new and exciting place each
year, one of our favorite things to do is visit different mountains for skiing.
We look forward to the day we can share these experiences with our child braving the slopes and enjoy sipping hot chocolate in front of the fire place. For now we are excited about going to all the fun places and
doing all that wonderful “kid stuff” !
