Jennifer

Jen, 35, comes from a family of Italian and Irish descent.  She has always had very close relationships with her parents, siblings, cousins, aunts and uncles.  Jen grew up in a suburb about 40 minutes from the city with her 2 sisters and brother (all younger).  Her family shared their time together going to basketball, cheerleading, soccer, track, and softball outings in addition to being involved in community functions.  They also took numerous trips to action parks, zoos, museums, etc.

As a child, Jen quickly became a caretaker to her brother (who is 10 years younger) and a “big sister” to the other girls.  All of them were taught to love and respect life and appreciate the importance of education and making informed decisions.   She and her parents share a loving bond.  As a mother, Jen is instilling the same values in Alexa.

About Jen, Marty says:

“Jen is a caring and generous person who puts her needs second to others’.  She respects people of all ages, races and religions and admires those who respect others.  We were only dating for 3 months when I was injured in an accident.  It was the way that Jen took care of me that made me announce to my family, “She is the one.”  I knew that her loving and caring ways were why I wanted her to be the mother of my children.  Seeing Jen with Alexa confirms everything I ever thought she would be as a mom.”
