Our Why
We want you to know that you are strong and courageous.
We have so much love to give and are excited to welcome a baby into our family.
Dear Expectant Parents,
We don't know the circumstances that brought you here, but we want you to know that you are strong and courageous. We know that this is not an easy decision, but we are grateful that we are one of the families you are considering for your child.
Growing up in foster care, I (Jeremiah) was always moving from home to home. Meeting other kids and hearing their stories always inspired me to want to adopt. I had a less than perfect childhood in the system, but was able to build strong relationships with the people I met along the way. I knew coming our of foster care that adoption was always on my heart. Giving a young boy or girl a childhood that I was never able to have has continued to motivate me to want adoption.
Meeting Jeremiah and hearing his story opened the conversation for adoption for me as well. After experiencing infertility, and being foster parents, we began our journey to adoption because the desire to be a mom and dad is very strong in our hears. We have so much love to give and are excited to welcome a baby into our family.

Our Story
Our marriage is full of laughs, love, and a whole lot of sports.
Our wedding day.
Jeremiah is a teacher and coach, and I am a school counselor. We met when we were working at the same high school. We began dating after a staff Christmas party, but I think it was love at first sight for Jeremiah. We dated for a little over a year when Jeremiah surprised me on my birthday with an engagement ring. We celebrated 7 years of marriage on our last anniversary and are looking forward to spending many more years together. Our marriage is full of laughs, love, and a whole lot of sports.
Our Adventures
We love to travel and try to fit in a winter and summer vacation if we can.
Rangers Game!!
Coaching is a big part of Jeremiah's job, so it's only natural that sports are something that we enjoy. We enjoy going to games and Jeremiah loves to golf. I love the outdoors so riding along in the golf cart is a way for us to spend time together even though I don't play. We love to travel and try to fit in a winter and summer vacation if we can. Jeremiah taught history so we definitely visit historical locations along the way.
Our family farm gives us time to fish and enjoy nature. We love to ride around and feed the cows. I have recently picked up photography as a hobby. I love the opportunities to explore and capture the memories in photos.
