Hi! We’re Eli and Mitch.

Thank you for taking the time to learn about us. We appreciate the journey you are on and would be honored for you to consider us as adoptive parents. We are excited to grow our family and become Dads!

We live in South Minneapolis and love it! The neighborhood is diverse, and we are a short walk away from parks, Dairy Queen (dangerous!), and a long walk or short bike ride from Minnehaha Parkway and Lake Nokomis.

We keep busy with our jobs, Sullivan – our dog, friends, and extended family. Eli teaches preK-8th grade music, directing a children’s choir and the school musical. Mitch works from home for a payments technology company, serving Credit Unions. We are often on the go – visiting our families on the farm or family cabin, making yummy food with friends, walking Sullivan, going for runs and hanging out playing games. We also like to relax and recharge by reading a good book or catching the latest mystery series on Netflix.

We recently took a family trip (9 of us ages 11 to 82!) to Norway to visit family, experience our histories and take in the spectacular sights. It was two amazing weeks that we will never forget.
