About Us:

We are a warm and close-knit family of four, looking to welcome a child into our hearts and home. Our family includes mom, dad and our two wonderful sons, ages four and five. Both of our sons are sweet, affectionate, and full of joy, though they face the challenges of profound autism. They bring so much love to our home, and we are so grateful to be their parents. While our boys have unique needs, they are kind-hearted, playful, and deeply connected to their family.

We are a hard-working, fun-loving couple with a strong commitment to our family. Mom works from home and enjoys a flexible schedule that allows her to be present for the boys and create a structured, nurturing environment. She is a girly girl at heart and loves fashion, but she also enjoys being active outdoors and playing sports with her family. Whether it’s playing on the swingset, splashing in the pool, or sliding down the water slide, mom loves spending quality time with her sons.

Dad is a former college athlete and is just as passionate about staying active as he is about cozying up for a moving night with the family. He’s dedicated to being hands-on with the kids, and his love for adventure and sports balances perfectly with his ability to slow down and enjoy quiet, relaxing moments with his family. Together, we strive to create a balanced and loving home, where our boys can thrive and be their true selves.

Our boy’s favorite activities are being outside- swinging, playing in the pool, riding horses, or zooming down the slide. We’ve created a fun and safe space where they can explore, grow, and enjoy life to the fullest along with their two mini sheepadoodles; Mack and Frankie.

We also have a strong extended family that provides support and love every step of the way. Family gatherings, visits, and get-togethers are a big part of our lives, and we can’t wait to share that with another child who joins our family.
