Post Adoption Contact / Level of Openness

Open (open to all contact, phone calls, an in person visit before adoption placement, sharing photos and letters after placement, visits at a neutral location after adoption placement etc)
If you want a more closed adoption, we would honor that request as well.

This family is working with the Gladney Center because of the services they are able to provide for expectant parents. If you work with Gladney as an expectant parent you can receive these services for free:
* A Caseworker to work with you throughout your pregnancy
* Counseling
* Medical Care
* Maternity-related financial support
* Legal services
* Lifelong support through a Post Adoption team.

I know I'm a little late to the party, but I finally watched the movie The Joker this weekend with Corey. Corey had already seen it.

We watched "Almost Famous" lastnight. Such a good movie!

We just got caught up on Better Call Saul last week. We aren't huge binge watchers, so it took us a while. What should we watch next?

Album: Photos of our life

We are so excited to start a family. We have no other children, but we have 14 nieces and nephews who would welcome a baby cousin!

On hike in the mountains ...

On a coastal hike with our dog, Mala ...

We are not the type of people who pose for photos often. Most of the time, Lil is behind the camera, and Corey is a reluctant subject.

Lil lost her hair to chemo, and when it grew back it came in curly.

Now Lil's hair is long and straight again.

Our pet chickens give us fresh eggs.

Lil found our cat Boogie in the middle of the road on a rainy night 7 or 8 years ago. He's so little in this pic!

Corey working in the garden ...

On a coastal boating trip with our family big and small ...

Our wedding ceremony kiss ...

We were married in 2003.

Lil's father passed away several years ago, and her mom moved from PA to NC to be closer to her. She can't wait to have another grandchild, especially one so near!
