We met at college in 2007 and married in 2009.

We agreed early in our relationship that we wanted to adopt at some point, so when we discovered we could not have biological children we knew it was time to pursue adoption! In 2015 we were blessed with not just one baby, but two! (From two different birth moms). Our oldest two children, Riley and Caden, are both 6 years old, with birthdays only 8 days apart. We call them our ‘twins’! In 2018 we decided to grow our family again, and we adopted our youngest son, Ezra, in 2019. We are so grateful for each one of them, and can’t wait to expand our family one more time.
