We are so appreciative that you took the time to learn more about us as a potential adoptive family for your child. Before we met, we both knew we wanted to be parents, and as a couple we realized our calling was adoption. We’re excited to share a bit about ourselves, and we are thrilled at the possibility of meeting you.

Why Adoption?
We both have known, since we first met, that we want to be dads. We have worked long and hard to create a home to accommodate our future family. Adoption is a very personal topic us. Ben’s mother was adopted at birth, as was her brother. Both have led remarkable lives. Ben’s parents also became certified foster parents to help a teenager in need. We strongly believe the best way to grow our family is through adoption.
Together, we have witnessed our friends bring little ones into the world and successfully raise their family. We couldn’t be more excited to open our hearts and home to share all the love that we have to give!
