We cannot pretend to understand what you might be feeling right now, but we want you to know how honored we feel to be considered by you. Your decision to pursue this route is a testament to your strength and courage, and these are the traits we will ensure your child knows you by.
Adoption is a beautiful gift and one with a responsibility we do not take lightly. If you should choose us as adoptive parents for your child, we want you to know they will be loved unconditionally, encouraged to explore and follow their passions, and surrounded by an enormous, loving group of friends and family. Your child will be raised in an open, loving, community-oriented family and will know where they came from. Their heritage will be celebrated and will help to shape the traditions we create as a family.
Motherhood is something both of us have always dreamed of. When we think of ourselves as mamas, we envision the moments of reading books, snuggles, making music, cooking, and laughing together. The places and adventures we will get to share as a family are some of the things we look forward to most. Thank you for considering us for your blessing.

-Naomi & Kayla
We have a committed, unwavering, loving partnership. Kayla works from home as a program manager, and Naomi graduated with a degree in integrated social sciences in June 2020. Prior to returning to school, Naomi worked with a child abuse prevention non-profit and has a passion for non-profit work. Once we adopt, Naomi plans to be a stay-at-home mom. We met in 2016 and knew almost immediately we would be spending the rest of our lives together. We spend our free time gardening, playing games with family, dancing around the house, and cuddling our pup. Our favorite thing is to laugh and be goofy! We share a love of travel and do so often. We have spent the last six years building a strong foundation on which to grow our family and believe in open, honest communication and leading with love.
Our home is a modest rambler in a family-oriented neighborhood, just a few blocks from the heart of our town. We have a large garden we fill with vegetables, and we spend time most days gardening and playing in the yard. Our backyard is spacious, and whenever we can, we host outdoor gatherings for our friends and family to get together. In the evening, we play with the dog, ride our bikes across the river to enjoy some time at the park, or stop off at the local carniceria to pick up fresh tamales. We feel fortunate to live in an area where we can bike to nearly everything we need!
Family is our number one priority. Our family and friends are thrilled we are adopting and can’t wait to love on our baby! We both have large blended families and feel fortunate we are very close with them.
Traditions we look forward to continuing with our child are making lefse around Christmas with Naomi’s mom and family friends, making deep-fried Cajun turkey with Kayla’s mom on Thanksgiving, and family vacations to Hawaii with Naomi’s dad every other year. Because we have such large families and they live all over the country and world, we do our best to travel and visit multiple times a year to stay connected. Thankfully, the majority of our immediate family live in the same state we do, and we make a point of getting together regularly.
Adoption has always been something we have wanted to pursue to grow our family. We have several friends who have adopted children of all ages and have had amazing experiences. Watching the lives they have built together is truly beautiful, and knowing we have resources to share, we think growing our family through adoption is the best path for us. We are so excited to be moms and have so much love to share with our future baby.
