Our greatest desire in life is to be parents. Our hearts overflow with love to give a child - please let us show you.

We may not fully understand the complexity of your situation or the emotions that come with it, but we’d like to think that we share the same hope - a safe, loving home for your child where they will be nourished and cared for.

There is nothing in this world that we want more than a child to love. We promise you that if you decide to trust us with your child, they will be cherished. From that point on, everything we do, we will do with their best interests at the forefront of our heart and mind.

We have a strong support system not only in our immediate families but in our church family as well. We belong to a wonderful church that is led by one of the nicest and most genuine people we know. He helps us grow in our faith and leads by example in showing kindness and concern to everyone who he encounters, both inside and outside of church. The staff follows in his footsteps and fosters a wonderful and safe environment for children to learn and grow as well. They will play an important role reinforcing in our child the same values we aim to raise them with, compassion, kindness, forgiveness and love.

We hope we will be able to demonstrate this to you through the stories and pictures in this profile. If the time comes where you’d like to connect, please know we have nothing but empathy and love for you. We will do our best to help you feel at ease and heard throughout the entire adoption process.

Who We Are

Although we grew up about five minutes away from each other, we didn’t meet until we were both in college. Exactly how we met depends on who you ask. I met Matt in the fall of 2009 through a mutual friend and we got on well right away. I quickly came to learn that Matt actually knew me as the “Wendy’s drive-thru girl” - turns out he was a regular at my high school job but was too shy to introduce himself. Now when we are asked how we met, we like to joke that “Matt used to eat a lot of Wendy’s.” We dated for a few years then got engaged on Easter Day 2013, married summer of 2014.

Matt and I have been married for nine years this past June. Like any couple, we’ve had our share of ups and downs, but with each challenge we face, we emerge stronger on the other side. We’ve learned and grown both as individuals and as a couple over our years together. We’ve seen what it means to be in a committed relationship - the importance of communication, patience, empathy and forgiveness. We believe these are all values that will better equip us to work through the challenges that come with raising a child and we hope to impart these values in them.

Adoption Diary

Thanksgiving Holiday Weekend

November is always a busy month for us with three birthdays,
two of which fall within days of Thanksgiving. We celebrated all three events this past weekend at my parents with my sister and her family. We’re not ones to brave the stores on black Friday so instead we took it easy and relaxed…or at least that was the plan but I ended up doing some last minute babysitting for my sister’s youngest. Liam got to have his first sleepover at Aunt Traci and Uncle Matt’s. We played lots of games, watched some Bluey and got pancakes at IHOP for breakfast Saturday morning before taking him back home.  We rounded out the long weekend decorating the house for Christmas and putting up the tree.

We hope you were able to enjoy some time with family and/or friends as well

Liam’s 7th!

My sister’s youngest turned 7 this week! He celebrated with his friends at one of his favorite restaurants where they got to make their own pizzas.  Yesterday we had a small family celebration with Italian food and icecream cake. We have a lot of November birthdays in our family, can’t wait to see if we’ll be adding another to the list!
