Thank you for considering us to become parents for your child. Though we have never met, we have been praying for you both for a while. We are so inspired by your courage and strength during this time as you consider your options and perhaps even take steps toward making an adoption plan. We are honored to be considered as parents for your child.  Our greatest desire and our family’s mission is to provide the best life possible for any children entrusted to us as adoptive parents.

MEET OUR FAMILY

We love God, our family, friends, and our dog, Luna. We are high school sweethearts and met back in 2011. We have been together for nearly 14 years and will be married 9 years in July 2025. We have one son who is 3.5 years old named Mason. He is awesome, so much fun, caring, loveable and is always up to play. We are a fun, kind, compassionate family who loves spending time with friends and family, doing outdoor activities like golf, playing any type of game, especially cards, and traveling as a family.

We are an active family who love to garden, ride bikes, play sports, travel, eat yummy food, and try new things. We love our little family of three, but know that our family isn’t complete yet. We are looking forward to the next chapter in our lives and can’t wait to see what the future has in store!

 HOME SWEET HOME

We are a Midwest suburban family through and through! Our home has 4 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms and a large backyard with a massive garden that we love to spend time in. We love going on walks, playing at fun parks, and playing at splash pads in the summer. We are very centrally located, and our families live within 15-30 minutes away. We love our community and feel very blessed to call it home.

Meet Max (As told by Alex):

Max is my favorite person, and someone I am extremely grateful to call my best friend and partner. He is the most supportive partner and the best father to Mason. Max is very calm, level-headed, intelligent, and really fun to be around. He is a Certified Public Accountant, and is very funny and witty, a good golfer, and treats everyone with kindness and respect. He loves to learn and help those who need it and loves God very much. I can’t imagine doing this life with anyone else, and he truly puts his family first always.

Meet Alex (As told by Max):

Alex is the most kind person I know. She is always friendly and has great patience. Alex loves the Lord and she lives her daily life with a strong faith. She is a wonderful mother to our son and makes sure Mason has fun all the time. Alex is a Global Marketing Manager for a large corporation and loves her job. She is my favorite person to talk to and is my best friend. She listens to me, uplifts me and cares for me deeply.

Meet Mason (As told by Mom & Dad):

Mason is 3.5 years old and such a sweet and fun little guy, always ready with a smile that can light up the whole room. His curiosity knows no bounds, and he finds joy in the simplest of things, whether it’s playing on the playground or playing ball in the backyard. Mason has a knack for making friends wherever he goes, his infectious laughter drawing others to join in his playful adventures. With an endless supply of energy and a heart full of love, Mason is going to be the best big brother.

 Meet Luna (As told by Mom & Dad):

Luna is our loveable, sassy, red golden retriever who is 8 years old and shares a birthday with Max. She thinks she’s a lap dog, loves playing with toys, being lazy and taking naps, and swimming in any type of water. Her nicknames are many, but a few are Tuna, Luna Bear, and Looney Toon. She makes us vacuum weekly due to the amount of hair she has and is very good at tricks. She is patient and gentle when she plays with Mason, and we know she will be the same way with another little one in the house.

What Adoption Means to Us:

Adoption is a way to show Christ’s love and fill in the gap. We feel honored and grateful to be able to provide for a child, emotionally, spiritually and grow as a family. We believe everyone is called to be a difference maker and by being parents who can love unconditionally and support someone’s life journey – we are super honored and blessed. We have always known we wanted two children, and know there are a lot of children out there who we can love and support. We have a lot of love to give and what better gift is there then to support a child in this life.

What We Want You to Know:

  • We promise to love your child unconditionally and raise them in a supportive home that is built on love.
  • We promise to teach them how to give their best effort and try new things.
  • We promise to have fun and grow as a family.
  • We promise to help them understand their story.
  • We promise to raise them in the Christian faith.
  • We promise to provide every opportunity to succeed.

 

We would love to connect with you!
