Our close-knit, rambunctious household is a great place to grow up in. We’re energetic parents who love to travel, learn new things, and have fun. We are thrilled to grow our family through adoption and will love your child unconditionally. Our kids are excited to have a sibling and our entire extended family is delighted to welcome your child!

A Little About Us

We’ve been married for 13 years and have two children at the home, Lucas (12) and Sadie (11). We love spending time together, and live life to the fullest. We enjoy going camping, hiking, snowboarding, and more! We belong to a private pool that’s a great place to enjoy summer. During the winter, we like to curl up on the couch and watch movies in front of the fireplace. In the evenings, we read good books aloud to Lucas and Sadie and are excited to read bedtime stories to our next child. We are so excited to grow our family through adoption and look forward to sharing our lives with your child!

Meet John (written by Chaz)

John is gentle and kind. Working from home allows him to spend lots of time with his family. He’s a wonderful father and husband. John is dependable, honest, and trustworthy. He’s got a great sense of humor and loves cracking silly jokes. His favorite thing to do is to sing and play the guitar. When he’s not working, he enjoys wrestling with the kids and cooking delicious meals. Everyone loves his gourmet quesadillas. During family movie nights, he pops us a giant bowl of popcorn the old fashion way on the stovetop.

He’s an expert at building things, loves playing with Legos, and is excited to teach our next child how to put toys together. He also looks forward to teaching them how to draw, build a campfire, roast the perfect marshmallow, and how to play the guitar.

Our Home in Virginia

Our spacious, 4 bedroom home is in a safe, quiet neighborhood. The house is big, so we are able to have our huge, extended family over often. In the evenings, we enjoy our outdoor firepit. We have remodeled almost everything in our home and made it our own. This really gives us the feeling of home and comfort and peace every time we walk through its doors.

We have an outdoor cat named Charm, who loves attention. Next-door, our neighbors have three friendly dogs that are very well-trained, so our kids play with them often. We have over an acre of land with woods and a shallow creek in our backyard. Our front yard has an awesome hill for sledding.

Our Family

John’s family lives all over the United States, so it gives us the opportunity to travel across the country. Chaz has a large, close-knit family and we get together often. Going on vacations together is so fun! We spend all the holidays together. We have pool parties every 4^th of July, have Pumpkin Painting parties around Halloween, and family Gingerbread House parties during Christmas. Growing up with cousins is so much fun! Going to church with Chaz’s parents and eating brunch together is one of our favorite weekly traditions.
