We are hoping to grow our family through adoption as we know we have so much more love to give. We both grew up with siblings and cherish our lifelong relationships with each other. We believe that sibling relationships transcend time and distance, rooted in the memories shared and experiences created. Lena adores her cousins so we know she will be an amazing big sister! There is something truly unique about having a sibling to laugh with, share life’s ups and downs, and create adventures together. Our entire family and all our friends cannot wait to expand their love even more for your child!

Our Story
Our connection was instant!
Our greatest adventure by far has been becoming parents!
In 2014, we met online through a dating website. We chatted for a brief time before agreeing to meet in
person for our first date. We planned to meet up for a happy hour drink at a local bar and grill. Several hours later, we found ourselves deep in conversation learning as much about the other as possible. Our connection was instant! One of Lori’s favorite stories about our first date was when Krista asked her about the one place where she truly felt relaxed and could unwind from the day-to-day grind. Lori’s answer “sitting on a dock watching the water at a lake” just so happened to be Krista’s exact answer as well. Little did we know that the dock at the lake Lori was referring to was just across a peninsula in the same lake as Krista’s favorite dock! We both knew from the first date that we were meant to be together. We knew our lives would be filled with many adventures. Our greatest adventure by far has been becoming parents! We adopted our daughter Lena in 2023 and absolutely love every minute of being her Moms!

Meet Lena!
We know Lena will be an amazing big sister!
Lena loves to explore and learn about the world around her.
When we received the phone call that would change our lives forever in January 2023, we dropped everything to drive to meet our healthy, beautiful baby girl, Lena! We were overjoyed with the opportunity to become parents. Lena is truly the light of our lives. She is smart, communicative, and extremely sociable. She loves to make everyone she meets smile and laugh. A simple wave and “hi” to strangers then seeing them return the gesture with a smile or wave brings her an immense amount of joy. Lena loves to explore and learn about the world around her. She enjoys having a job in the kitchen, always helping us cook each meal as a family. Lena is an outdoors girl for sure! She loves spending time outside whether on a walk around the neighborhood with her dog, playing with chalk on our driveway, swimming in the pool or lake, or out on the playground. We love watching her soak up the sunshine, catching rain drops, or eat snowflakes! Lena has a way of teaching us to slow down and take in each moment of every day.
Lena attends school near our home where she is learning so much each day! It seems as though she learns a new word or task daily. We are amazed at her ability to effectively communicate her needs or wants at such a young age. She is very inquisitive and a quick learner. We can almost see her brain working when reading books and playing with her toys!
We know Lena will be an amazing big sister! We cannot wait to watch her teach and love a little sister or brother!

Our Family Promise
It will become our life’s mission to ensure they have the guidance, support, encouragement, and confidence to live their authentic self while reaching their life’s ambitions.
We look forward to having open communication and learning the role and relationship that you aspire to have with your child.
Our promise to you is that we will provide a loving home for your child and give them the very best life filled with laughter, friendship, family, music, pets, and travel! When we imagine having a family, we envision playing catch in the backyard, spending all day at the neighborhood pool with friends and picnic lunches, reading bedtime stories, cozying up on the couch for a movie night, road trips around the country, and lake time.
As your child matures, we will guide them to be a well-rounded individual. We will teach them the importance of integrity, compassion, and respect. We will continually demonstrate the need to have a strong work ethic while maintaining a work/life balance. We will teach your child that they have the ability to act and make decisions independently but will always be responsible for their decisions. We will encourage him or her to critically think prior to making any decisions. It will become our life’s mission to ensure they have the guidance, support, encouragement, and confidence to live their authentic self while reaching their life’s ambitions.
Our promise to you is that we will love your child with all of our hearts. We will support them in all ways possible and encourage them to follow their dreams. We will teach them to be good role models in what they say and do and treat others how they want to be treated. We will encourage them to stand up for what is right and always be kind to others. We will celebrate how much effort they put forth, not just how good they are at things.
We want you to know that you will forever be a part of our and your child’s life. We believe open adoption is a healthy way to raise a child to allow them to always feel connected and confident about themselves. We look forward to having open communication and learning the role and relationship that you aspire to have with your child. Thank you for considering us as potential parents for your beautiful baby!
