Hello!

Thank you for giving me this opportunity to introduce myself and tell you about my family.

I know this is a confusing and difficult time for you while you are trying to figure out the best option for you and your baby. I hope that you feel supported and loved no matter where you are at in your journey. I admire you so much for considering adoption.

I want to assure you that I promise to respect you in whatever level of openness and contact that you want to have with your child. I promise to cherish and love your child with all my heart and provide a safe, happy, home and a life with every opportunity possible.

Family is very important to me and I always knew I wanted to be a mom and therefore, my adoption journey began. Adoption was the path I chose as the best fit for me and cannot wait for the blessing of a son or daughter in my loving family. Since day one there has been nothing but support from family and friends and there is so much love waiting to be given.

About Me!

I was born and raised in Minnesota and I currently live in Chanhassen, MN. I live in a neighborhood with all ages of kids and in most evenings you can hear the kids out playing together and enjoying their company. I also live close to many different lakes and parks and the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum is just minutes away, different activities are around each corner.

I work at Optum, which is part of UnitedHealth Group for the last 12 years. I am an Associate Director and have spent most of these years supporting different operations with process improvement and project management activities. I have a bachelor’s in science for my undergraduate degree, a Master’s in Business Administration with a specialty in Finance and Healthcare Management and am currently pursuing my Doctorate in Business Administration with a specialty in Global Operations and Supply Chain Management.

Family

I am the youngest of two children. I have an older sister, brother-in-law, a nephew and two nieces that live in White Bear Lake, MN. My parents live north of the cities in Glenwood, MN. We get together most holidays, for special events and to enjoy each other’s company. As my nieces and nephew were growing up I made sure to babysit them on a regular basis so that I could build a good relationship with them and be a big part of their lives. I have also made sure that I see my nieces and nephews on all their birthdays growing up and went trick or treating with them every Halloween among many other things.

My family is excited to welcome a new little one into the family and my nieces can’t wait to babysit. My sister also adopted my youngest niece so adoption is not new to our family.

My Favorite Things

In my spare time I love spending time with family and friends. In the summer I spend most of my weekends up north at my parents’ house on the lake and enjoying all that has to offer. I also love to travel and with my best friends living in FL, I like to spend time traveling to see them. I also like to take one vacation a year to a different destination and cannot wait until I have a little one to enjoy that with.

I also have recently learned to golf and enjoy attending sporting events my favorite being Viking football games. I also do additional activities like go to the gym, take walks in the summer and snowshoe in the winter. I also spend some of my time enjoying the company of my friends, volunteering, going to apple orchards and different types of festivals.

Thank you!

Thank you for taking the time to get to know me! There is so much more to my live than fits on these pages. I would love to meet you in person to get to know you better. I want you to know that I will love your child unconditionally and will nurture them to grow up to be the best person that they can be. I promise to encourage your child’s hopes and dreams and provide the best possible education.
