Photos of our life together
We grew together, going to the same college, serving together in the children's ministry at church, and helping each other through difficult seasons.
Hello,
We want you to be certain that both you and your baby are loved and valued.

Chelsea
When we were in high school, Andrew's family moved into a house just down the street. He didn't have his driver's license yet, and our mothers decided it would be a great idea for me to give him rides to church or when we would go hang out with our friends. I'm going to be honest: I wasn't thrilled because Andrew was a pretty weird 15 year old.
Andrew
Thankfully (for everyone involved) I grew up a little over the next few years and Chelsea and I had plenty of time to enjoy a great friendship. Right after I graduated high school, we started dating, and we continued dating through college.

Adventuring together
Chelsea: I love the beach. My favorite is the Outer Banks in North Carolina. I enjoy the rhythm of the waves on the shore. Seeing the ocean stretch all the way to the horizon helps me keep my life in perspective.
Andrew: I love the natural beauty of the mountains (especially the Rockies). Camping helps me relax and remember my place in the natural world. I also enjoy hiking and rock climbing because the mental and physical challenge helps me discover and push my limits.
We both enjoy road trips. In 2017, we took an epic road trip across the west and hiked to the top of a mountain to watch the solar eclipse. We both love music, Chelsea plays piano and sings, and Andrew plays guitar and drums. We go to see live music whenever we can, usually at a jazz lounge or the symphony.

Our Promise
Thank you for taking the time to learn about us. We are eager to grow our family and also desire to serve a mother like you through adoption. We firmly believe that the life of each person is a gift: precious, unique, and important. Whether our children come to us biologically or through adoption, we commit the passion of our hearts and the power of our actions to love, guide, protect, and equip each one.
Our Families
We are blessed to have both of our families in the area, so we see them often. Both sets of parents still live on the same street, and Andrew's sister, Sarah and her family, live only a mile away. Chelsea's sister, Emily, lives just down the street from Sarah, so it's all very convenient. Andrew's other siblings (Joseph and Hannah) live nearby, and we all get together regularly for holidays, birthdays, and other special occasions. While Chelsea's family likes to plan events in advance, we can always count on Andrew's family for spontaneous, energetic gatherings.
