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!

We’ve been married for 13 years and have two children in the home, Lucas (12) and Sadie (10), and two adult sons, Elijah and Jeremiah, living on their own nearby. We love spending time together – be it the two, four, or all six of us! 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!

John is gentle and kind. He’s a wonderful father and husband who cares deeply about his family. 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.

Chaz loves every part of being a mother. She’s a wonderful wife and homemaker who is full of energy. Chaz is adventurous and is always looking for new ways to have fun. She laughs often and does her best to make everyone feel loved and happy. She devotes herself to her family all year long but really goes all out to make the holidays feel special.

Chaz is passionate about giving her children the best possible education and is excited to teach our next child the joy of reading as well! She enjoys working in the garden to grow her own organic food. Chaz cooks healthy meals for her family. While cooking, she keeps music playing and enjoys dancing with the kids! She is looking forward to teaching your child to cook too. She loves seeing her kids thrive and will make sure they have the opportunity to do whatever makes their heart happy. Most importantly, she’s excited to teach another little one to love Jesus.

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.

Our next-door neighbors have three wonderfully friendly dogs and 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.

We have 4 wonderful children! Jeremiah (26), is a talented musician and artist. He enjoys coming over and teaching the kids how to draw and paint. Elijah (24), spends his free time riding his motorcycle and playing basketball. Our daughter, Sadie (10) enjoys baking in the kitchen with mom, drawing, and writing stories. Lucas (12), is a happy, kind little boy who loves to run and play outside. Our kids are all so excited to welcome your child into the 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.

We promise to provide your child with a safe, stable home, and to love them always. We will teach them about God and provide them with a good education, so they have every opportunity to reach their full potential. We look forward to teaching them how to ride a bike, catch a ball, and to swim. We will be laugh and be silly together and give them lots of cuddles and attention. Adoption runs throughout our families in many ways, so you’ll always be spoken of with respect and honor. We are open to visits, calls, or texts.
