We are so grateful to have this opportunity!
We want to adopt a child because we have a strong desire to provide a loving, stable, and supportive home. We believe that adoption is a beautiful way to extend our family and offer a child opportunities to grow in a positive environment. With our shared values and deep sense of responsibility, we are ready to welcome a child into our lives and provide a foundation filled with love, guidance, and encouragement.ABOUT MIKE

OUR PETS
MEET OUR DOG AND CAT
We are lucky to share our home with two wonderful pets who are very much part of our family. Liam, our sweet cat, has been with us since he was 6 weeks old, and now, at 10 years old, he’s the king of cuddles and cat naps. He’s gentle and loves curling up beside us, always ready for some affection. Darla, our 10-year-old retired racing greyhound, joined us when she was 3. She’s incredibly calm and enjoys her daily walks as much as finding the perfect sunny spot for a cozy nap. Both Liam and Darla bring so much warmth and love to our home.
OUR HOME & COMMUNITY
We live in a wonderful, welcoming community that we are proud to call home. Our raised ranch is nestled in a quiet, family-friendly neighborhood where people look out for each other and children can play safely. The area is filled with parks, excellent schools, and lots of opportunities for outdoor activities. We are near quite a few lakes where summer activities thrive.

THANK YOU
FOR CONSIDERING US
Thank you for considering us as potential parents for your child. We understand that this is an incredibly significant decision, and we are honored that you would take the time to learn about us. More than anything, we want you to know that we are committed to creating a life for your child that is filled with unconditional love, joy, and a sense of belonging. Our home will be a place where they can thrive, surrounded by warmth, laughter, and opportunities to discover their unique talents and passions. We deeply value nurturing independence, curiosity, and a sense of wonder, and we look forward to supporting your child as they explore the world around them.
As members of our local Fire Departments as EMTs, we have a strong sense of community and have a built in network of support and love. We are well aware of how precious life is and we would be honored to be the ones to raise this child.
Even from our first discussions together about including children in our family, we have always considered adoption. After Karina’s hysterectomy, due to Stage 4 Endometriosis and Adenomyosis, that consideration became our reality and the path we chose to become parents.
We promise to offer your child a childhood full of rich experiences—whether it’s celebrating family traditions, exploring nature, or simply sharing quiet moments together. We envision days spent reading books, playing outside, and creating art, as well as evenings gathered around the dinner table sharing stories and learning from one another. We will always encourage them to chase their dreams and remind them that they are cherished, supported, and deeply loved. As parents, our goal is to provide a safe and nurturing environment where your child will grow with confidence, empathy, and kindness. While we may never fully understand the weight of your choice, we hope to honor it every day by giving your child a life filled with love, happiness, and endless possibility.
Mike and Karina
