Hi!
Hi future family!
Hi future family! Our names are Alison and Justin. We are so excited to give you a glimpse into our lives and hope to one day welcome you and your child into our growing family!
We met in a beach town in California in 2014. We hit it off immediately and began to spend a lot of time together. One thing we had in common was that we are both very close with our families and couldn't wait to build one of our own someday.
Adoption was something we talked about early on in our relationship. We both know people who are adopted, so it has always been very normal and natural to us. When we started to discuss growing our family, we knew adopting a child was part of our plan.
We are so excited to begin the next chapter in our lives! Thank you so much for taking the time to learn more about us. W...

A bit about us!
Our dog Jojo is easily the most impressive one in the house!
Our family <3
Since it's a bit uncomfortable to write about ourselves, we instead decided to write a little bit about each other.
"Justin brought me home for Thanksgiving with his family after only 2 months of dating. He didn't know this at the time, but watching him with his family and playing with his little niece and nephew was when I fell in love with him.
Life with this dork is my favorite. Justin is the funniest, kindest, most determined, and supportive person that I know. He continues to surprise me every day with his growth and love of learning.
Justin was born to be a dad and is filled to the brim with dad jokes. I can't wait to see him live up to his potential as Phil Dunphy from Modern Family! He is the rock of our family, and - best of all - does the dishes :)"
-- Alison
----------------------
"Within 5 minutes of meeting Alison, I knew I was going to fall for her. It was her passion that initially drew me in, and I was able to quickly see her kindness, intelligence, and how genuine she was. To this day, I can feel myself becoming a better person every day as a result of all of her amazing qualities! She's one of the most patient people I know, she's very thoughtful, and - most importantly - loves to bake dessert. She's a huge nerd when you get to know her, too, and I love it! Just ask her one Harry Potter question and you'll see this for yourself. In our family, Alison keeps us on track. She genuinely cares for people and has a huge heart - she will make an incredible mom."
-- Justin
----------------------
We could have easily led with this, but we have a dog named Jojo and she's the sweetest girl in the world! She is a Wheaten Terrier and was born in 2016.
She is goofy, awkward, and so gentle. She loves endless head scratches, hugs, and cuddling. She melts in hot weather and shivers after baths.
Jojo also has a ton of nicknames including: boobie, booberry muffin, tater tot, little miss thang, and scooper.
She will make the best big sister!

We love to laugh!
Our ability to laugh with each other creates a strong foundation for our relationship - and makes life so much more fun!
Lots of laughter out in the Rocky Mountains
One of our family values is to not take life too seriously. We are here to love and laugh, and we make a point to do this daily!
Our ability to laugh with each other creates a strong foundation for our relationship - and makes life so much more fun!
We also really value an active lifestyle. Alison loves long walks and stretching, while Justin enjoys sports.
