Countdown to the Crown Day 3 “Meet my Family”“Adoption is complicated, but it is also rich with narratives of strength” — Jillian LaurenOur family shares a powerful story of resilience, perseverance, and the adoptive spirit.My husband, Kurt, and I are both business owners in Omaha, Nebraska, where we live with our 3 kiddos. He co-owns the business ‘Metro Locksmith’ with two locations. He loves the fulfillment of solving the issues, is a sucker for his daughter and has been an amazing stepdad to our two boys. We love, traveling, golf, going to church, finding great restaurants, and watching our Chiefs!I have co-owned Seven Salon + Boutique for over 20 years with an exceptional staff of nearly 30, and you will find me behind the chair 3 days a week. I am photographer, International educator, and currently appointed vice-chair of the DHHS state board. As an award-winning philanthropist, I am service focused, and love giving back to my community!Infertility and loss led us to look toward adoption. We were chosen in June of 2007 when my dreams of becoming a mother were realized with the birth of my oldest son, Seth. He will be a junior and loves wrestling and rugby, plays the trumpet in band, and gives the best hugs! As a adopted child, he’s spoken alongside me in several capacities, such as in front of the governor when we signed the state proclamation making November ‘Adoption Awareness Month’, and also in several schools educating about adoption!Shortly before Seth turned one, I discovered I was pregnant with Ian, who was born in January 2009. He is also athletic but his true passion is music. He adores show choir, concert choir, plays piano and guitar! He is a social kid with lots of friends, and makes sure that everybody is included. He will be a Sophomore this fall!Much to our surprise, I became pregnant when I was 39. Our daughter, Kora, was born in August 2016. She is a ‘go-getter’, loves her friends, is a flyer in cheer, plays softball and will be 3rd grader this fall!On a recent vacation, we even got to adopt a town in Mexico and bring supplies to residence there!@intlpageants #MrsIntl2024 #2024IntlCountdown #intlpageants
