Greetings!
Thank you so much for taking the time to view our online profile. It is our hope that it can
provide a snapshot of our family and help you get to know us a little better. It is difficult to fully capture our family on “paper”. We are a very dynamic bunch who love exploring the great outdoors and learning new things together. We are ALL so excited at the possibility of
welcoming another child into our family.
We can only imagine the emotions that are encompassing you on this journey. As Mother
Teresa once said, “It’s not about how much you do, but how much love you put into what you
do that counts.” We believe this is so applicable to the love a birth mother shows her child by making difficult choices to ultimately provide the best future for their child. We thank you again for the decision you are making and send our love and support to you!
About our Family:
We reside in the beautiful Northwest which we refer to as Nature’s Playground! It was
important for us to pick a job location where the pace of life was slower than average.We want
to enjoy time together, not spend hours a day commuting in traffic. We want to unplug and go
ski or snowboard in the mountains without cell signal. We want to focus on what really matters
in this life and we have found our state to be a perfect fit!
Micheal is an Orthopedic surgeon and also a team physician for many of our local and college
athletic teams. He comes in very handy when we are sick or injured- ha! Adrienne has the job
she always wanted-a stay at home mother! She has a psychology degree but has stayed
home since having children. Our children attend an excellent small Christian school that
challenges them academically while simultaneously nurturing their hearts. It continues to grow
their faith and obedience to God exponentially.
Our children are so excited to add another member to “the team”. They have had everything
ready and set up for months! The younger one often asks “when the new baby is going to
finally get here”?!
We are a larger sized family and believe there are so many benefits to that! There is always
someone to experience fun with. You never feel alone. Our kids love being in the same
school. Whether it’s school, sports teams, church camp, etc., just knowing that they have a
sibling there gives them such peace and security. Our home is filled with creativity, lots and
lots of projects and plenty of imagination. Adrienne’s mother, who was a mother of five, always said “When you have another baby, the love isn’t divided…it grows.” And she was so right! Nothing brings Michael and I more joy that our children and we are so hopeful that we can grow our family one more time!
Our Promise:
Our family promises to be open and honest with our adoptive child about their background.
The child will know of your unbelievable strength and that journey that you selflessly embarked on to provide them with the best life. You are the hero in this and will always be remembered.
We promise to love, cherish and honor your child for the rest of our lives. Being a parent is a life time commitment and we will always be there to support and guide him/her. We will provide a safe and loving home, free from alcohol and drug use. We strive to make our home a place of refuge-a predictable familiar and warm place that provides respite from an often times tough and cruel world outside. Our home is a place where we are loved and show love to one another.
We promise to provide the best education for your specific child. Every child’s needs are
unique and as parents we work hard in figuring out what settings will help our children best
flourish. School is a big priority to our family as it is so important in providing opportunities for the future. We have made the commitment to pay for our children’s college education so that they can focus on their schoolwork-a blessing that was given to us as college youth via scholarships and parental assistance.
