Family Status: Couple with Children

Children in Home: Two

Hello! We are Ross and Meghan, and we live in the Twin Cities metro. We met as students at the University of North Dakota in 2009 and got married in 2015. Ross is a civil engineer, while Meghan is a middle school math teacher. We have two biological sons, ages 6 and 3.

Our older son attends Spanish immersion Kindergarten at the local public school, and our younger son attends preschool. This fantastic public school system has many academic and extracurricular opportunities. We live close to Meghan’s parents; they provide our childcare and are active in our lives.

You can catch us in our backyard swimming pool most of the summer or in the nearby parks, trails, and library year-round. Other family interests include traveling, spending time with friends, being outside (especially at the family cabin), sports, and reading. We value relationships with others, growing our faith through attending a progressive Catholic Church in Minneapolis, and leading with respect and love for all people.

Our Promise

We are grateful and honored to be on this adoption journey and we recognize the importance of connections with our child’s birth family. We believe that an open relationship is key to supporting our child’s sense of identity and heritage. We are committed to fostering communication and a positive relationship through letters, photos, visits, and/or other forms of contact based on what feels right for everyone involved.

We promise to love your child unconditionally and fully support them throughout their journey in life. No matter your decision, we sincerely wish you all the best, and thank you for considering us.

Please reach out to our social worker, Lauren Wagner, for more information. We would love to connect with you!
