We actually met in a doctor’s office a couple of years before we started dating. It’s funny to look back now and wonder if either of us could have guessed that we would end up married & ready to welcome a baby together. Some of the best parts of life are hard to predict!
Corinne has been interested in adoption since she learned about the concept when she was a little girl. Throughout her childhood, she took every opportunity to learn about the adoption experience. As she got older, she spent much of her free time reading & asking questions about how to best support an adopted child.
Rob has always wanted to start a family and raise children. When he became a Christian, he realized that he has a deep passion for loving and supporting all people- not just people within his biological family. About five years later, when he met Corinne, he felt strongly that becoming an adoptive father was his calling.
One of the most important gifts we want to give our child is the ability to experience joy freely and easily throughout his or her adult life. We want to ensure that our son or daughter is able to manage stress & work towards goals in a healthy and balanced way. We believe that these skills make it infinitely easier to live in the moment, to achieve success, and to find happiness.
Yesterday Rob’s friend stopped by with his 2 kids. Hobbes is their favorite. He loves everybody as long as they have snacks.
This weekend we had the opportunity to babysit overnight for one of Corinne’s close friends. We got to practice feeding, diapers, bedtime, & everything in between. The baby was such a sweetheart. She did such a good job being away from mom for the first time!
