Our plans for childcare:

Chris works from home and we plan to have an in-home nanny a few days a week to help out. We both have jobs that give us a lot of time for family.

Our Lives Together

We’re best friends who have been married for 10 happy years. We love faith, family, and traveling! It’s been our prayer to grow our family and share our lives with a baby. We believe God has been clear that we’re meant to adopt! Seeing adoption through other families we know, we’re excited to build our family this way ourselves. We’d love to learn more about you, answer your questions, and find out what you picture for your child’s future. Thanks for considering us!

 

What we love about living in West Virginia:

  1. West Virginia has the best people who are always friendly and kind. It’s like living in a small town that’s the size of a state.
  2. Our town is basically from a Hallmark Christmas movie (in fact it’s been used in a few of those!), with fun festivals and traditions.
  3. We have some of the best places to hike, fish, and be outdoors. We have waterfalls and mountains, snow in the winter, and big lakes for the summers.

Our Friends and Family Say We Are:

  • Happy
  • Loving
  • Faith-filled
  • Compassionate
  • Reliable
