While living in Crescent Valley, the Samuels were neighbors with Hilary Davenport, who was a foster parent. Between late 1995\early 1996, Hilary was fostering Bridgette, Brendan and Ryan Thompson. Bridgette would help Jasmine babysit Jake and Darien.

After learning that Hilary had gotten a job promotion that required her to move out of state and wouldn't be able to keep being a foster parent to the Thompson siblings, Mitch and Jasmine decided to start the process to become their foster parents.

By January of 1997, they became foster parents to Bridgette, Brendan and Ryan, who were 14 and 12 years old at the time. The siblings were adopted in August of 1998 when Jake and Darien were 5 years old.

Four months after the adoption was finalized, the Samuels moved to Mount Larkin, Illinois after Mitch gets a new job at Copeland Bros. Realty once he is certified as a real estate managing broker.

Around 2001, Jasmine was laid off from her job due to the company filing for bankruptcy which caused to become depressed and she turned to alcohol to cope with it. Mitch tried to intervene and get Jasmine help for her depression and alcoholism; however, Jasmine refused to get any help which put a strain on their marriage and caused frequent arguments between them. Eventually, it caused them to separate and later filed for divorce.

Although Jasmine later sought help, she decided to give up custody of Jake and Darien to Mitch. Afterwards, she moved out of state and cut off all contact with her family.

In August of 2004, Mitch reunites with his former girlfriend, Andrea Watkins after he and his parents attend the funeral of Andrea's husband, Jason.

After Jason's funeral, Mitch offers to help Andrea out with her children which rekindles their relationship and they start dating each other during the summer of 2005.

The day before Valentine's Day in 2006, Mitch proposed to Andrea which she accepted. They later moved into a new house together with their children.
