Meet Chris & Raelene

We’re hoping to adopt our first baby!

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!

Road Trips!

We want our child to experience road trips! Raelene and Chris both come from large families, so traveling always included long road trips with singing, lots of family time, and good snacks.

Holidays!

Our favorite holiday is Christmas! We have the best traditions, from visiting small town Christmas markets, to watching White Christmas every year, and decorating the Christmas tree with the ornaments we have collected around the world and across the country

Home!

We love living in our small town! Our town feels like being in a Hallmark movie. We have small shops, hiking, fun festivals and traditions. everything we enjoy, and the “big stuff” is only a half hour away. Its the best of both worlds, with waterfalls and mountains, snow in the winter, and big lakes for the summers!

About Us

Adoption has always been close to our hearts, and is already a part of our family. Raelene’s oldest sister was adopted into our family when she was 15. When we realized we couldn’t have children the “traditional” way, it just felt right to pursue adoption and what we were supposed to do. We have always said, “We are waiting for OUR child, the child that God has always had planned for us”.

Our hearts and our home are ready to adopt a boy or girl of any race into our happy family. We hope to talk with you!

Our Friends and Family Say…

We are dependable and kind.
Happy, loving and faith -filled.
Our friends know that if someone needs something, we are there, with snacks and diet coke in hand.

We Want Our Child to Feel...

Love from every single corner of the Earth (haha). There have been sooo many people that have prayed for our child and loved our child before they even existed or even known who they are. Our child will be probably the most cherished and adored (maybe slightly spoiled 🙂) kid ever.

As Parents, We Want to Teach Our Child...

That Jesus loves us, and writes each of our stories exactly how He wants them. Even though each person looks different, He wrote theirs for them specifically in His mind

Fun Facts

What We Want You to Know…

We want you to feel loved and seen. We know and understand that this is the most selfless decision that anyone could ever make, and that your child will be loved, cared for, and happy, all because you made such a loving and selfless choice. We will love you, your child will love you, and know all about you, and that we will never be able to thank you enough. We’d love to learn more about you, answer your questions, and find out what you picture for your child’s future.

Fun Facts

Favorite Food

We love to make Twice Cooked Pork. It’s Raelene’s favorite meal, and Chris is the chef (for only this meal). We first ate it during Covid, with family while they were living with us, and it became a weekly tradition. It is a good meal, with good memories.

Favorite Activity

We love to have bonfires on our land with cozy blankets (Chris said hunting too🙂).

Our Talents

Chris can sing! He sings a lot in Church!
Raelene can talk to a rock, and it’s a talent the way she does it. She also has a small jewelry business.

First Jobs

Chris worked at Chick-fil-A.
Raelene worked as a nanny.
