Hello!

Thank you so much for taking the time to get to know us. We have so much respect for the care and thoughtfulness you’re putting into this decision and we’re grateful for the chance to share a little about our lives and the family we hope to create.

I’m Anna

  

I love spending time with people and finding ways to make them feel cared for, whether it’s planning a get-together or just being a good listener. My creativity has always been a big part of who I am, and it’s what led me to a career in interior design. I’m a warm and loving person who enjoys making life feel a little brighter and more fun for everyone around me.

I’m Kyle

I’m the one who keeps things organized, but I also love being a little goofy and making people laugh. My knack for staying organized and focused is what led me to my career as a construction project manager. I care deeply about the people in my life and always try to show that through the little things I do.

This is Geno

Geno is our 8-year-old beagle mix (pictured above with mom), and he’s a big part of our family. He’s silly, cuddly, and loves being around people. Whether he’s playing with his favorite toys or napping on the couch, he’s always close by and making us smile.

Life in Our Fam

We live in Minneapolis and love spending time with our friends and family. We enjoy trying new foods, spending time outside, and relaxing at home together. Our life is full of simple moments that mean a lot to us, and we can’t wait to share that with a little one.

What Matters Most to Us

Love Always: We believe in showing love and kindness to everyone—whether it’s our family, our friends, or someone we just met. Treating people with care and respect is at the heart of everything we do.

Find Fun: Life can be serious, but we always look for the bright side. We try to bring joy and positivity into everyday moments, no matter the situation.

Give Freely: We value sharing our time, resources, and experiences with the people around us. Being open, giving, and supportive is how we strive to make a difference for others.

How We Spend Our Time

Anna: I love crafting, cooking, and curling up with a good book—it’s my favorite way to unwind. I also enjoy doing puzzles and staying active with workouts that help me feel my best.

Kyle: I’m a tech nerd through and through and love trying out new gadgets. When I’m not grilling up something tasty, I’m working on house projects or woodworking in the garage—it’s my happy place.

Shared: We love spending time together camping, trying new restaurants, or hanging out with friends. And when we’re at home, you’ll usually find us watching reality TV or playing a competitive (but always fun!) game of pickleball.

Our promise to your child

We promise to give your child a home full of love, laughter, and care, where they will always feel safe and supported. They will be surrounded by family and friends who can’t wait to welcome them and share in their life. We will raise them with our values of kindness, generosity, and finding joy in life, while encouraging them to explore who they are and what makes them happy. They will grow up in a warm, welcoming community with great schools, parks, and opportunities to learn and play. Most of all, we will love them unconditionally and do everything we can to give them a life full of love, support, and happiness.

Closing

Thank you so much for taking the time to learn about us. We are deeply grateful for your consideration and the love and care you are showing through this decision. It means so much to us that you would take the time to read our story, and we truly admire your strength and thoughtfulness.
