We met in college, and have been married for 9 great years.

We can honestly say we are best friends – we laugh together, cry together, and can’t imagine walking through life without each other. After being married for 5 years, we adopted our handsome little boy Brayden through Caring for Kids. He is cheerful, smart, funny, and kind. Easily the sweetest little boy you’d ever meet, and can’t wait to be a big brother. As a family, some of our favorite things to do include dance parties in the kitchen, outdoor adventures, and snuggling up on the couch to read together.

ABOUT Kristina

We live in a family-friendly diverse neighborhood.

It is a city with great school systems and a lot of family-oriented activities, including a playground in our neighborhood. Once we adopted Brayden, it was important to us that he grew up in a city in which he had classmates, teachers, coaches, neighbors and friends that looked like him. We moved into our city and neighborhood with that intention.

Please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers on a regular basis as you make this hard decision. Thank you for considering us as you make the best decision for you and your baby. We are so thankful to share this journey with you, and we look forward to meeting you!
