-Ian & Bradley
Bradley was born and raised in Southern California, while Ian grew up in England and emigrated to the U.S. at 16. We first met seven years ago and have been inseparable since that moment. Bradley is an excellent chef and baker, so we often spend our evenings sitting down to a home-cooked meal with the company of friends and family for dinner or game nights. Whether it is soccer tournaments, trying new foods, or wrangling our nieces and nephews at the beach, we’ve been by each other’s side. That culminated in our dream wedding surrounded by our family and friends dancing the night away. The most important thing to us is the time we are able to spend together, so we feel blessed that while Bradley takes care of the home, Ian is never far away as he works in his home office.
Our four-bedroom house in Southern California is surrounded by appealing parks and beaches, friendly neighbors, and excellent schools. We have lived in this house for seven years and are completely in love with the city. Together with our two dogs, Jay Jay and Sniffles, we have turned this house into our beautiful home. We look forward to adding another member to our family and filling our home with even more laughter and love than we ever thought possible.
We have family and friends spread all over the globe but are particularly lucky to have Bradley’s parents and siblings in the same city as us and are able to see them regularly, along with our nieces and nephews, who are very special to us.
One of our most cherished family traditions is spending Christmas with Ian’s family in England. We make the trip every year we are able and spend our time catching up with the large and inclusive family we share there. Of course, in the summer, they are more than happy to return the favor by staying with us and enjoying the California sunshine.
Both our families are very excited about the prospect of welcoming a new addition and are eager to be as involved as possible.
Early on we knew we wanted children, but the real question was when and how. We decided being married and having a stable home first was a good start, but then how should we do it? Adoption! This was an easy decision for us because we believe families come in many shapes and sizes. We both have large families already, and with their support, we have the foundation to give a child a wonderful life.
