About Us
Our Story
We have been married for almost 7 years, and we are truly lucky to have found each other. We are best friends and love each other deeply. We have a beautiful little girl that we are blessed with.
We went to the same school but graduated different years. We met by chance after graduation. We developed a strong friendship and started dating not long after. Two years later, we got married and created this wonderful life of ours. We have had many hardships we have faced but have always remained at each other's side through it all. We are so blessed to not only be each other's partner but also call on each other as best friends.
Sean has built his career in the information technology industry as a senior database engineer at one of the local banks. Danielle is a stay-at-home mom and currently completing a degree in health information systems. Sean enjoys computers, games, and blacksmithing. Danielle enjoys crafts, drawing, painting, and being outdoors. As a family, we spend our fall evenings looking for deer and going to pumpkin patches. During the summer, we enjoy going to Danielle's mother's house down at the lake in Oklahoma.
We have a 5-year-old daughter named Lily. Lily is the light of our life, she is smart, creative, funny, and such a caring and loving little girl. She loves to play dress up and pretend to be a little princess. She loves her animals and likes to play with her chickens. Lily enjoys going to her grandmother’s house to do arts and crafts. She also loves to spend time with her 1st cousin Shaelee, they are inseparable and are more like sisters than cousins. They can spend all day together and soon as it is time to go home they are facetiming each other and playing games. Your child will be so loved and cared for by their big sister Lily. She has been patiently waiting for a sibling and has volunteered to help with all duties except changing diapers, ha-ha.
We have 3 dogs that we consider our fur babies, Chloe, Dixie, and Riley. Chloe is our 4-year-old Shih tzu that loves to be next to us wherever we go. She loves to cuddle and lay in our laps. Dixie is our 6-year-old mini-Australian shepherd and Riley is our 7-year-old mini-Australian shepherd. They are the most loyal and loving dogs and love being around kids and snuggling. We also have a small hobby farm with chickens and ducks that we consider part of our family.
Overall, we have a deep sense of family, we love kids, and we want to be sure that every child has the opportunity to have a loving home. There is no greater gift and feeling than being a parent of a child and loving them with everything you have.
Our Home
In 2016, we built our beautiful 3-bedroom 2 bath home just outside of the small town of Pea Ridge, Arkansas, nestled in the country on 26 acres. In 2022, we renovated our house that is now a 4-bedroom 2 bath home. We now have a nursery for the child we have longed for. We live on the family farm that has been in Sean’s family for 50 years. A majority of our family live within 20 minutes of us.
Northwest Arkansas is one of the fastest growing and top places to live in the US. We absolutely love where we live and there are plenty of opportunities and activities to do as a family. We live near a highly regarded school system and private schools too. There is a park not far from our home that we take our daughter to and spend a great deal of time there as a family.
Sean Shrader
Sean is a wonderful husband and an amazing father. He is someone that is special and dear to myself and Lily (our daughter). He always puts his family above anything else and has a big heart. He will be an amazing adoptive parent because he has so much more love to give and family traditions he wants to pass down.
Danielle Shrader
Danielle is such a wonderful wife and mother. She always puts her family and friends first. She would do anything for the ones she loves. Danielle would be such an amazing adoptive parent because seeing how much love she has to give and how badly she wants to experience being a mother to a newborn again.
