Dear Birthmother,

Words cannot fully capture the admiration we have for the courage and strength you've shown in considering adoption for your precious child. We are deeply honored and grateful that you've considered us with the incredible privilege of raising and nurturing the little life you've brought into this world.

Kathryn has always felt immense gratitude towards her own birth mother for making the selfless decision to place her and her middle brother with their parents. Now, having experienced adoption from the perspective of giving, Travis stands in awe of the resilience it requires. Watching our daughter navigate this journey as a birth mother has given us a profound respect for the process, and we've been so inspired by the beautiful, growing bond she's built with her child's family over the years.

If chosen, we hope to foster a similar connection between you and your little one—one rooted in openness and love. We want them to grow up knowing the extraordinary strength and love behind your decision, and to understand how truly blessed we feel to be part of their life because of you. Your baby is a blessing and precious gift, and from the depths of our hearts, we thank you for considering us to cherish and nurture the light you've given to the world.

Home

Our Home

We live in a little rural community in the hills of Southern Missouri where we attend a small close-knit church of roughly 40 people. Travis volunteers with our local fire department. We have a little log cabin style home on 10.5 acres with 5 loving dogs, as well as 18 chickens and 6 ducks, with plans to add goats and pigs to our family of furry friends in the near future. On our property we have a pond, outdoor fire pit and woods to play in, as well as a large garden that Kathryn likes to tend to where we try to grow a majority of our own produce.

Our Extended Family

We are a family that is spread across the country. Travis's family is mostly in Missouri and Arizona. His oldest daughter, father, stepmother, younger adopted brother, nieces & nephews live within 3 hours from where we are located. We love getting them to come visit and spend time with us. Travis's parents love to come down and enjoy the quiet of the rural atmosphere. His brother, nieces, and nephews love to come down to play with the animals and go fishing at the pond on our property. When we're able, we travel to spend time with our other family members out of state. Kathryn's family is mostly in California and Arizona. Her grandparents, mother, father, as well as her two older brothers, nieces, and nephews are spread out across the Bay Area of California.

As a newly blended family, we are developing our own family traditions. Because we love to host all of our family, we get enjoyment from having our family gather with us for holidays. Christmas time here is fun as we have snow many times on Christmas mornings and love to have family down for a big Thanksgiving dinner. We are continually developing new traditions as our family expands.
