Hi! We are Andy and Kristin. We are a multi-racial family built through adoption. We dreamed of having a large family since we were married 17 years ago. We make sure our children live a diverse life where they feel seen and represented.
We want you to know that should you choose us, your child can hear how much you love them directly from you.
We are so thankful that you have taken the time to learn more about us and our dream to complete our family.
Becoming A Family Through Adoption
No one in our immediate family shares blood.
Our kids joined our family at birth through five separate open adoptions. We have a lot of experience with open adoption and are here to walk alongside you on your journey.
We realize that there may be times when you need more contact and times when you choose to take a step back.
Our friends and family are very supportive of our decision to build our family through adoption.
Addressing Cultural Diversity
We speak openly with our children about issues we may face as a family regarding race.
We feel it is very important to include your cultural heritage into our family.
Our goal is to raise our children to love God, love others and be unapologetically proud of who God created them to be.
Education We Will Provide
Education is very important to us. Our kids attend a Spanish speaking school that allows them to focus on their interests.
It is a diverse school with teachers that are Native Spanish Speakers.
The kids get to take piano lessons during school hours.
They allow kids the freedom to move around and learn through play.
We plan on paying for college so that our children can focus on their studies without financial burden.
Our Great Adventures
Traveling is one of our favorite things to do as a family.
Our kids have already traveled outside of the United States.
We also love hiking and taking long walks.
Having Fun At Home
Our best adventures take place at home, in our community and with our neighbors.
We are located in a large city and live in a very diverse neighborhood with lots of kid friendly activities nearby.
Our house tends to be the hangout house between our friends because the kids have so much fun.
Most days you can find us dancing with the music turned up!
We have so many different parks near us that we do a "Tour de Parks" and pick a different one every time.
We also love walking to the library and to the local ice cream shop.
Our Promise To You
We cannot thank you enough for giving us the opportunity to share with you who we are.
We are known for keeping our word and will follow through on the promises we make to you.
Your child will know how much you love them and how much we respect you.
Thank you again for being the special person you are and for considering adoption!
With love,
Andy & Kristin
