We can only imagine how anxious you must feel while determining the right home for your child to grow up and be loved in. We want you to know your child will always be your perfect creation, and we will do our part to protect that perfection.
As a pediatrician, Danny has dedicated his life to the advocacy and protection of children and their families. As an educated teacher and coach, Levi helps children grow and reach their full academic and athletic potential in a supportive and encouraging manner. We want you to know your child will be raised with a sense of responsibility and pride toward themselves, their family, the ranch they care for, the neighbors they support, and the friends they laugh with. We believe it really does take a village to raise a child, and our village is strong, safe, and supportive. Our love for family is unconditional, our love is honest, and our love extends to people outside our immediate family.
Your child will be raised attending an Episcopal church and Sunday school. Our faith is important to us and a cornerstone in our marriage. We will foster that in your child as well. We will raise your child to be a community leader, an example student, a trustworthy teammate, and a leader among their peers with regard to integrity and honor.
Your child will be safe, your child will be loved, and your child will be raised to be responsible.
We can only imagine how anxious you must feel while determining the right home for your child to grow up and be loved in. We want you to know your child will always be your perfect creation, and we will do our part to protect that perfection.
-Danny & Levi
Levi grew up on a ranch in Nebraska and was active in rodeo through college. Danny grew up in California, traveled the country for his educational pursuits, and ended up settling in Nebraska, where we met. We are both hard-working, self-driven professionals who both keep busy and strive to raise the bar in our respective careers. Danny is a pediatrician who owns a private medical practice and is the director of inpatient pediatric and neonatal services at the local medical center. Levi is a full-time rancher and coaches the high school volleyball program at our small Midwest town in Nebraska. We both enjoy being physically active and prioritize health. We have a well-balanced life of daily exercise and health-conscious dietary habits and strive for balance among mental, physical, and emotional health. We love to downhill ski, ride horses, and work out together.
We live on a 25-acre homestead ranch in south-central Nebraska. Daily life includes ranch chores, such as feeding the cattle, horses, dogs, cats, and chickens. We have several pastures that require daily checks for making sure the herd stays healthy. We have nearly 240 head of cattle and enjoy being caregivers for the animals and stewards of the land. The local public school has an exceptional record of academic and athletic success. Almost all students at the school participate in extracurricular activities. Our small town is full of various gatherings and events throughout the year. One popular event is “WASENEK Days,” a weekend-long street fair and festival that celebrates harvest time in Nebraska. It’s full of great music as well as local foods, crafts, and creations.
Levi has two sisters, both of whom have kids under the age of 12. Danny has two sisters and one brother, all of whom have kids under the age of eight. Danny’s father is deceased, but Danny’s mother is healthy and lives four miles north of the ranch in the country. Levi’s mother lives in a town 14 miles away. Levi’s father is a rancher in western Nebraska and works closely with us on the ranch happenings. We all routinely gather for supper, church, Sunday brunch, and cattle brandings.
We decided adoption was the right choice for us after talking with friends who both have their families as a result of adopting their children. Since we both work with kids in our professional lives, we see the value and importance in raising kids with integrity, grit, and respect for their peers.
