Family Type: Gay Couple
State we live in: Minnesota

dear expectant mother

We want to honor you in this journey as we know this is not a decision made lightly. It is one made from an incredible place of love. We can never thank you enough for the sacrifices you are considering making, the emotions you are working through, and the pure love you share by considering bringing us into your amazing world. We take a lot of pride in building meaningful relationships with our family, and that is what we hope to do in supporting you through this journey. We promise to be who you need us to be as partners in this adventure, should you choose us, and we hope we make you proud along the way.

We are excited to continue cultivating an environment that allows our kids to grow up and pursue every opportunity in the world they could want, from access to a great education, experiences traveling the world, opportunities to play sports, and so much more. We also love having fun along the way! Whether that’s running through the sprinklers in the middle of a hot summer day, taking in road trips to see this beautiful country, or cooking delicious meals together in the kitchen, we’re here for it all!

We believe every mother wants to give her children the world. We want to promise you, if given the opportunity, we will devote our lives to doing just that.

About Us

We’re grateful for this opportunity to share with you a little about who we are. We’re here with hopeful hearts as we embark on this adventure to complete our loving family, hopefully with your help. Our family has been built on the foundation of love and laughter for generations, and we intend on holding to this tradition for generations to come. We believe faith and love are the pillars of a happy life, and our commitment is to continue spreading that light each day, whether that’s through our work in helping others gain equitable housing, our friends and family making memories in the many traditions we hold dear, or our own personal hobbies and interests as we find ways to be better humans, dads, husbands, friends, and sons.

Our Home & Pets

We love our home and, even more so, the memories we’re making here. We both come from families where food is the language of love, and in our home, there’s a lot of love to share! We love gathering around the dinner table talking about our days and sharing in gratitude for the gift that we are to one another. We love gathering around a good fire—whether that’s our backyard patio and firepit or around our fireplace— reading books, or playing games. We’re close to several parks, we’re right on the bike trail, and we love our neighbors, who continue to support our family by helping out whenever a storm hits, a holiday event arises, or we simply need to borrow some sugar!

Our Extended Family

Our families come from different backgrounds, and yet the lessons are so much the same: Hard work, love, kindness, and education are key traits that define our family and help us keep our priorities straight. No matter what happens in the world, we can always count on an abundance of love, kindness, knowledge, and work to guide our family, and at the end of the day, the greatest of these is love.

The grandparents are born again every time a new grandchild comes into our lives, the aunts and uncles love spoiling the kids before sending them back home for naptime, the cousins love growing up and exploring all the world has to offer together, and we are so excited to continue these many traditions with our future child and know they will be unconditionally loved and provided for always. This journey will undoubtedly take us near and far. Our promise is to provide a world of opportunities for our kids and to give them countless opportunities to see the world. It’s through these experiences that we know they’ll grow up to live out their full potential in this big, beautiful world.

Our Adoption Story

Our hearts grew by one in 2018 when we adopted our son, Asa, through this same process and with the help of Lifelong Adoptions. During that journey, we learned so much about ourselves, each other, and the many ways adoption can provide opportunities. We understand the significance of this journey, how important it is, and the tremendous amount of love that it requires to make an adoption plan. The biggest thing we’ve learned is that our hearts are much bigger than we ever thought possible, and we have so much more love to give in the opportunity to provide for, support, and raise our growing family.
