About Us

Hayden is from Nebraska, and Adam was born and raised in a Chicago suburb very near where we live now. We met in vet school and have been together for six years; we were married in 2022. We’re both veterinarians and love what we do. Adam’s career has brought him to work in his family’s practice, reinforcing his close-knit family ties in the personal and professional senses. Hayden is an avid chef and baker who enjoys making food from all cuisines. He loves to cook for our family and friends. Adam prefers to be the taste-tester. Hayden likes running with our dog, Loki, while Adam likes going to the gym or riding his bike. Together, we often take advantage of the zoos, theaters, museums, and diverse restaurants in Chicago and its suburbs. But most nights, we enjoy a quiet evening at home with one of our favorite TV series or a movie.

Our Home & Pets

We live in a safe and very family-oriented neighborhood with good schools and multiple parks within easy walking distance. We are about 45 minutes away from Chicago, which gives us the quiet living we enjoy while still allowing for easy trips to the city for the culture and events. Loki, our lovable border collie mix, enjoys the fenced-in yard. His favorite activity is chasing our cat, Nim, around our four-bedroom, spacious but warm home.

Our Extended Family

We are lucky to live very near much of Adam’s family, and we get together for meals, minigolf, or a movie at least once a week. His parents, younger brother, and extended family all live three to 15 minutes away from us. We often play golf and card games with Adam’s aunts, uncles, and cousins. Adam’s older brother, sister-in-law, and two nieces live just a couple hours away, so we get to see them frequently as well.

Hayden has an aunt, uncle, and two young cousins in Chicagoland, but the majority of his family lives in Nebraska. We are still fortunate to visit with Hayden’s extended family for holidays and our annual family reunion at a rental lake house in Iowa. Our extensive and very supportive family network is beyond thrilled at the prospect of welcoming a new baby!

What Led Us To Adoption

We always planned on adoption since we both wanted kids and biological children were not an option. What really sealed the deal and pushed us to get started with this process was getting to spend time with Adam’s nieces. They are now almost one and four years old. Watching them grow and their little personalities develop has strengthened our desire for kids of our own.
