Shawn's Extended Family
We are a family that always puts family first. I was blessed with caring parents and close relatives who would do anything for me and support me through every decision in life. We spent holidays and weekly gatherings at my grandparents where laughter, card games, and good food always surrounded us. My family has waited for years to welcome a child into their home that they can love and teach what life is all about.
Nikki's Extended Family
We are incredibly close-knit and joyful! I come from a family full of love and laughter. We take trips together that are full of adventure and the excitement of the holidays is always memorable. We talk daily on the phone keeping in touch and are always there to support each other. I know they are excited to welcome a child into their lives and will spoil them with so much love!
Meet Wayne
Our beloved furry companion who brings joy and love into our lives. Wayne is more than just a dog; he's a member of our family, a ball of energy and affection wrapped in fur. Wayne greets everyone he meets with excitement. His favorite pastime? Cuddling! He's the neighborhood's unofficial mascot of happiness, spreading smiles wherever he goes. All the kids in our neighborhood always stop by to say hi to Wayne as he waits to greet them all from his porch.
Our Home
Our home is in a neighborhood full of energy, where diversity thrives and laughter fills the air. A park is walking distance away, and children are always out playing and riding their bikes. The holidays are always super festive. Halloween is a highlight, with every house adorned in spooky decorations and children trick-or-treating with excitement. The streets come alive with twinkling lights and festive cheer, creating a magical atmosphere during Christmas. Your child will be surrounded by friendships, growing up alongside a diverse array of families and forging bonds that will last a lifetime. Our neighborhood is not just a place to live; it's a vibrant community where memories are made and traditions are cherished.
Meet Shawn
By Nikki Shawn is a remarkable man with a huge heart. My husband loves cooking and baking bread is his favorite. His laughter fills our home with love and fun every day. His vibrant energy is contagious to all who know him. As I envision him as a father, I can see him sharing his love of cooking, sports, and outdoor adventures with a child. I have no doubt that he will be the most loving, supportive, and fun-loving father, nurturing a little one with boundless affection and unwavering devotion. His love for the outdoors is matched only by the size of his heart. He is caring and compassionate. Shawn will be a great father who cares deeply, leads by example, and I can not wait to see the magic he brings to a child's life. FUN FACTS: loves booting & exploring, has lived in Italy, history buff, enjoys volunteering, loves cooking.
