Meet Eric and Anna

Dearest friend,

We are Eric and Anna, and we are so thankful you are taking the time to get to know us. We can only imagine how many emotions you may be carrying right now. Whatever has brought you to this point, we want you to know how much we admire you and the love you have for your baby. We know this isn't an easy journey, and we hope you're surrounded by people who care for and support you. More than anything, we hope you feel seen, heard, and never alone.

We've been married for 18 years and have three wonderful children—Gabriel, Selah, and Landon. In 2020, our family moved to Kenya, where we've built a life we truly love. Living here has given our children the gift of growing up among people from many different cultures and backgrounds. We have a beautifully diverse community of dear friends that we love and treasure like family.

Why We Want to Adopt

Long before we had children, we knew adoption would be part of the family we hoped to build. Over the past 12 years, we've intentionally learned about healthy adoption, equipping ourselves to be the best adoptive family we can be while honoring your child's roots and birth family and helping all of our children grow into confident, whole, and healthy individuals.

Gabe, Selah, and Landon have grown up knowing that one day we hope to adopt, and they've walked this journey with us every step of the way. They are eagerly waiting to welcome and love their sibling. Also, if you choose adoption, we want your child to always know where they came from and how deeply they are loved by you. We believe your place in their story is irreplaceable, and we would be honored to create space for them to know and celebrate every part of who they are.

We also value openness. If that's something you want, we'd love to stay connected in whatever way feels right for you. We would be happy to share photos, video calls, on-going communication, and visits whenever possible as we regularly travel to the US to visit family and you will become family.

I (Anna) am a counselor and certified in adoption competency. That training has further deepened my understanding of the unique joys and challenges of adoption and continues to shape the way we talk about adoption, support our children, and honor every member of an adoption triad.

Our Life & Lifestyle

Our home is joyful, adventurous, and full of laughter. Along with our sweet dog, Acacia, the kids help care for a variety of animals, and it's not unusual to spot monkeys playing in our yard. We love hiking, exploring Kenya and other countries, playing games indoors and outside, and simply enjoying everyday life together. Living on the equator means we enjoy beautiful weather all year long.

Our children attend an international school just a few minutes from our home, where they've built friendships with kids from all over the world. We spend lots of time there swimming, riding bikes and rollerblades, playing on the playgrounds, and enjoying the beautiful outdoor spaces together.

Your child would grow up surrounded by a loving family, a supportive community, and opportunities to experience different cultures and perspectives. Above all, we hope our home is a place where every child feels safe, deeply loved, celebrated for who they are, and encouraged to become all they are created to be.
