Your strength and love are amazing.  Thank you for your interest in learning about our family.  We look forward to gaining a new extended family.  We hope you enjoy finding out more about what our family does to have fun, how we spend quality time together, and most importantly how we would raise a beautiful new addition to our family.

Please find us on our website: FarwellAdoption.com

Our Hopes:

We plan to build our family on a foundation of openness and honesty so that our child will know of all those people in their life that love them. We want to raise them to be aware of the challenges people face so they can be compassionate in their own relationships.  Most importantly we want them to know of the unconditional love they will have and guidance that we will provide for them throughout their life.

For Fun:

We are not what you would call party people, in fact we find enjoyment in the simpler things in life.  We enjoy spending time talking and visiting with our neighbors on someone’s deck or patio.  We also enjoy going to the movies or watching TV at home all snuggled up.  Something we try to do every year is attend a Minnesota Vikings game in person.  In addition to having fun at or near home, we love traveling, whether it is a road trip or flying to a new international destination.  In addition, Douglas loves to spend his free time remodeling the house and Carrie enjoys birding and volunteering at a wildlife refuge.

Time Together:

We cherish spending time together while still giving each other our own personal space.  Now that we live closer to work, we are able to spend more quality time with each other at home instead of in the car.  We plan on continuing this closeness as we build our family to let our new child or children know they are surrounded by love and will always be protected.  The best way we have found to spend quality time together is on our travels.  Those can be the best of memories and experiences we have as a family.

Our Home:

We live in the ‘Big House’ as our neighbors like to call it, since it is fairly large.  We currently have 3 bedrooms but are in the process of expanding it to 4 bedrooms and a dedicated home theater room, we love snuggling up and watching our movies!  We also have a large fenced in yard perfect for playing catch, playing fetch with Aspen and Willow, or performing cartwheels and handsprings.  As you can see, we love to decorate it inside and out for Christmas and every year we add more decorations.

Our home is located in a Minneapolis suburb which has one of the highest rated school districts in the state as well as virtually all possible health care within 2 miles.  In addition, there are countless parks and trails surrounding us for days of fun.  It is certainly a fantastic place to raise a family!
