RACE OF CHILD INTERESTED IN ADOPTING:
Caucasian
Dear Birthmother,
Thank you so much for reading our profile. We are grateful that you would consider us to raise your child. We understand the decision you are making is incredibly hard. We believe you are so strong for being here. We support you in whatever decision you make and support that your decision is the best decision for you and your baby.
We imagine raising a strong, confident, funny, empathic, responsible, and courageous child. We have big dreams and will raise your child to have big dreams. We will give your child the tools they need to pursue their dreams and show them hard work pays off. Our child will join us on all of our vacations. We will teach them to ski, climb mountains, swim, and be adventurous. Our child will be raised in a “family comes first” environment. Our giant family (including our friends we consider family) is so excited to pour love, fun, and laughter into another child. Your child will be surrounded by people who love them, support them, and encourage them.
Mike was adopted. He had the best childhood and continues to have a great relationship with his adoptive mother and father. He is thankful for the hard decision his birthmom made. That hard decision gave him a wonderful life.
We are so grateful for your consideration and hope we can be the support you and your baby are looking for.
About Us
Hello! We are Mike and Beth. We have been married for five years. Beth’s favorite thing about Mike is he makes everything light hearted. Mike loves that Beth is really good with kids; she is the best aunt to all of our nieces and nephews. We both work from home and have offices on separate floors of the house. On weekdays you’ll find us working out, walking our dog Kobe, and socializing with our neighbors. On weekends you’ll find us at concerts, boating in the summer, skiing in the winter, biking, hanging out with family, and doing projects around the home. We like to stay busy and active. All of these activities are done with family and friends. We love being surrounded by our people.
Our Home
We live in a new suburb on a cul-de-sac. All of the neighbors on our street moved in within three years of each other, and we became fast friends. We spend a lot of time together at a neighbor's pool or grilling in driveways. There are 22 kids on the street, ages one to 16. We have a corner lot, and our dalmatian, Kobe, loves to patrol the corner. There are great trails and parks within walking distance from our house. Kobe takes us on daily walks, and he hops into every body of water he finds.
Our Extended Family
Beth’s parents and one grandparent are a 20-minute drive from our home. Beth also has three sisters. They are her best friends, and they are all married. We have 12 nieces and nephews on this side of the family. We spend a lot of time together boating, camping, attending sporting events, and hanging out.
Mike’s mom and stepdad are a 30-minute drive from home in the summers. They live in Florida in the winter. We have four nieces and nephews on this side of the family. We enjoy going on trips to Florida, having family dinners, or going on long bike rides.
We also have a really close-knit group of friends we go on one to two vacations with every year (kids included). We like to go skiing or find a beach to relax at.
What Led Us To Adoption
Since we started dating, we have focused on building careers and planning for a future that gives us freedom and excites us. During this time, we’ve been active in the lives of our 17 nieces and nephews, attending and coaching the various sports and activities they all like to try. Mike also spent 21 years in the Air Force. He retired from the military in 2022. We feel it is time for us to build our family. We are excited to raise a fun-loving, active kiddo(s). Beth grew up saying she was going to adopt four kids and Mike was adopted himself (along with his sister), so we both felt called to adopt.
