We are so grateful to have this opportunity!

One thing we have shared since the beginning of our relationship was our desire to have children. It is our greatest wish to start a family to share in our love and wonderful life we have built together. We are at a place in our lives where we have the resources, the love and support from family and friends, and the eagerness to be parents. We are excited to begin our adoption journey.

Kellen is someone that I can count on when I am going through a tough time and with whom I can celebrate my small victories. Kellan is a hard-working man and a very dedicated and respected employee as an IT consultant. I know that he will do his best to provide our little bundle of joy all the best things in life. Kellen is a very friendly, kindhearted and energetic person. He loves spending time outdoors, whether it be bike riding through our neighborhood or skiing, he soaks up the daylight with fun activities. He is also extremely funny and can turn a frown into a smile in a heartbeat. He is a very forgiving person, always looking for positivity in each person.

MEET OUR DOG, GEORGE

Our dog, George, is a big part of our life and family. George is an energetic and loyal Goldendoodle. He is full of personality but gentle as well. We are sure he will be a child’s best friend and biggest defender.

OUR HOME & COMMUNITY

We live in a new four-bedroom townhome in an urban neighborhood in Washington. Washington is a great place to raise a child! Our neighborhood is diverse, with people from all over the U.S. and a large international population. We live in close proximity to high-quality public schools, and we benefit from being close to some of the best outdoor mountain and water landscapes in the country.
