Our Story

I’m Mary-Kate and my journey toward motherhood has been a path of deep hope and strong intention. For five years, I poured my heart into trying to conceive, and while my body couldn't carry a pregnancy, this experience only made my desire to be a mom stronger.  This reality beautifully showed me that motherhood comes in many forms, and what truly matters is the immense love and care I am ready to give.

Exploring adoption now brings me a profound sense of peace and joy, as I know this is the true path to building my family. I would be incredibly humbled to be chosen to care for your precious child. I am ready to learn and grow as their parent, offering steadfast support and walking alongside them throughout life’s journey, always there for whatever they need.

Why We Want to Adopt

I’m Mary-Kate and my journey toward motherhood has been a path of deep hope and strong intention. For five years, I poured my heart into trying to conceive, and while my body couldn't carry a pregnancy, this experience only made my desire to be a mom stronger.  This reality beautifully showed me that motherhood comes in many forms, and what truly matters is the immense love and care I am ready to give.

Our Life and Lifestyle

I’m a responsible and generous person who loves family. I grew up with six siblings, so I’m naturally social, flexible, and very comfortable with friendly chaos. Being "Aunty Mary-Kate" to 12 nieces and nephews, from toddlers to teens, has already prepared me for the joys and challenges of raising a child! I like to keep moving and am always planning the next fun thing, whether it's trying a new sport, traveling, or finding a local adventure. I speak Spanish and French so I love any excuse to practice.

My biggest dream is to build a life with a loving family of my own. My heart has lots of room for one more. I can’t wait for life to be all about playing with the toys on the floor, bathtime and reading stories at bedtime. That would be magical!

Thank you for reading my story. I am so grateful to be considered as welcoming a child into my home would be the greatest honor.

We are Cory and Kenadee. We have an amazing 7 year old son, Brennon. For almost 6 years we have done everything in our power to grow our family. We are so grateful and excited to be starting our new journey with adoption. We feel strongly that we will be led exactly where we need to be to add onto our family. We hope this message is received with love and assurance that we have the best and most genuine intentions. We know that this is the greatest gift we could possibly receive and we’re so happy that you have made it to this point. That being said, let me tell you more about our family. Our family enjoys the simple things in life. We love going on little adventures to new places, eating out on the weekends, riding our fourwheeler, going laser tagging and spending our evenings outside at our firepit with our two golden retrievers. We plan yearly vacations so we can always have something fun to look forward to. It’s a priority for us to have lasting memories and quality time together. Cory fills the role of protector and provider perfectly. He always makes sure our family has what we need. He has sacrificed a lot towards his education and has been awarded his PHD. When he’s not working he loves to be on the mountains, or spending his evenings at home with the family. Kenadee was meant to be a mom and wife. She is a nurturer, a talented baker with her own business and a cosmetologist. Since having Brennon she has made the decision to be a stay at home mom. It’s always been a priority to be the primary caretaker of her children and it brings her a lot of joy to be present at home. Brennon is an incredible little boy. I’m convinced you couldn’t find a more kind hearted child out there. He loves his family fiercely! He is a lover of sports, legos and his nintendo switch. He has waited for a long time to be a big brother and he is ready to take on that role. He is constantly talking about being a big brother and all the things he will do with his baby sister/brother. We have been very intentional and happy as soon as we decided adoption is the route for us. Your child will know his/her story. They will know they came from a selfless birth mother that chose us to be their family. They will always know they are chosen, wanted and valued. We have so much love to give and promise to fill all the needs and wants of your child. We cannot wait to see Brennon be a big brother, to go on family vacations and see everyday life together. Thank you so much for getting to know a little bit about us. We hope you feel comfort and peace as you make such a big decision for you and your child. With so much love, Cory, Kenadee & Brennon

measure. Your choice of adoption is one of immense strength and generosity. Adoption is a familiar word in our family. Sarah was adopted by her parents and she understands both the challenges and triumphs of that experience from the child’s perspective. We would be excited and honored to give that same unconditional love to your baby. Our battle with secondary, unexplained infertility has been a message from God that adoption is our path to grow our family. Infertility has been hard, but getting to follow in Sarah’s parents’ footsteps is powerful. To share a little about us , Kennedy loves her friends and family. Her favorite things to do are being with her animals, riding horses, snowboarding, and playing music with her dad, Cameron. Cameron is an athlete and a musician. He is a wealth of knowledge when it comes to these things. Hearing the first note of any song, he can tell you who sings it, and what year it was released. Oh yeah-and he loves Jeopardy!

Kevin and Itzel

United States

We’re Kevin and Itzel and were fortunate enough to meet 7 years ago. After two years of marriage, we began fertility treatment to have our beautiful daughter, Julia, who turned four this summer. We have a company dedicated to software development, which allows us to work 100% from home. We love to travel, and this will allow our children to experience different cultures and diverse perspectives. We are a bicultural family, and we love celebrating the holidays of both cultures. We enjoy big parties with the whole family, and thankfully, both our families get along very well. We spend time in Mexico and in the USA, and we want our children to have the best of both worlds. We also have some European connections, so we also spend some time in Europe, and we are sure this will allow our children to have many options about where they want to study and pursue their careers. Kevin in Itzel’s words: He's a calm man. I like that he thinks things through before doing them. He gives me peace of mind, and for me, that's the closest thing to happiness. He's a man with a big heart, and he's considerate of me and my family. He has a fantastic relationship with my father, siblings, and extended family. He has the ability to surprise me with beautiful details, which may be simple, but which he does with great love. He's an excellent father and life partner, and a great provider. Itzel in Kevin´s words: The ying and the yang, while I am calm and easy-going, Itzel is always in go mode to push the rest of us to get things done, make our family productive, and fill our time with activities. She shows her love more in making sure we’re all (me, her siblings, her father, our daughter) taken care of and getting our medical checkups, etc. She is also an excellent mother. She is very sociable and fun, she has the ability to make friends everywhere we go and people always feel good being around her.
