Hi! We are Phillip and Tricia. Thank you for taking the time to get to know us. We appreciate you taking the time to consider us as loving, caring adoptive parents as you make this important decision. Even before we were married, we knew that adoption is the perfect choice for us to complete our family. Since Phillip was adopted, and as an ovarian cancer survivor, Tricia is unable to have biological children. We admire your strength as you make this decision and we are honored that you are considering us as parents who will love, care for cherish your child.

About Us

We were married in Nov 2020, and we are looking forward to sharing our love and happiness with our children. We met in 2013 through mutual friends. It was quickly apparent that our thoughts, values, and lifestyles are extremely compatible. We both feel that family is our number one priority.  We currently reside on our family farm in west central Minnesota in a small community of family and friends. We live in a cozy 3-bedroom 2 bath home and have our family consisting of 3 dogs, chickens, and cats. Our three spoiled fur babies are Hank, Macy, and Bonnie.  They are very lovable and spend most of their time on the farm where they can enjoy running and playing together.

Phillip was born in Seoul Korea and adopted as a baby along with his sister. He enjoys spending most days on the family farm. He has been farming with his family since he was young and enjoys learning new things, as well as helping others. He is blessed to be raised in a great family community that always made him feel at home.

Our Family and Community

We are blessed to live in a small close-knit community where you know your neighbors, and everyone is very friendly and helpful. We are blessed to have many family members close by including Parents, Aunts, Uncles, and many cousins. The community consists of many young families where kids can play at the parks, swim in the local lakes, and ride their bikes down the street with their friends.

We want to first and foremost provide a loving stable environment for a child who has everything they need surrounding them both physically and emotionally. Having many friends and family to help raise a child is very important to us as they learn and grow. We are a Christian family who believes in lots of quality time with your children helping them learn new things and grow into their own unique person who is kind, helpful, and caring. Both of us have a flexible schedule working from home as well as working on our family farm. For years we have been preparing for adoption wanting to provide a stable environment for our family financially. We are fortunate to have most of our food farm grown with a large garden where we grow many vegetables. We also smoke and can food out farm to enjoy all year round.

Why we are choosing Adoption.

Adoption has always been in our plan since the beginning. Phillip and his sister were adopted as infants and have been blessed to have a great surrounding family and community to make them feel right at home. With so many questions and emotions we hope that having adopted family members can help provide support as our to-be child grows and learns. Knowing how fortunate we are to have this loving family made us want to help give others the same opportunity Phillip was given.
