Our Family
In our hearts we know we are meant to have more children to share our love and time with.
Family Fun
We have struggled for years with infertility and loss. Through all the struggles we were blessed with our beautiful daughter Madelyn. Maddie is a sweet, loving and energic girl who dreams of being a big sister. We are looking to adopting to expand our family further. In our hearts we know we are meant to have more children to share our love and time with.
Our story
We are the living example of
Family Picture
We were introduced through a mutual friend over 15 years ago and have been in love since. Before we were married in 2011, we were already aware that fertility may be an issue. We struggled through years of infertility treatments, IVF and loss before welcoming our daughter in 2017. We have tried to expand our family since, but have been unable to. It was always in our plans to adopt one day and we have decided that now feels right. We are a very fun loving and caring family with a very close knit extended family. We are the living example of "It takes a village to raise a child".

I have known Kurt and Jessica since about 2014. We could tell that hey were great people right away. We were new to the area and they were very welcoming to our family. They invited us to holiday gatherings and made us feel like we were a part of the community. I have trusted my own children with them on multiple occasions.

About Jess: From Kurt's perspective
My wife is a kind and caring person who likes to help others. I have known Jessica for almost half my life. She is just not partner, she is my friend, the one I talk to about anything and the one I look forward seeing everyday. I don't know were I would be without her, she has made me a better person.
About Kurt: From Jess's perspective
Kurt is first and foremost my best friend. I have always been able to talk with him about anything and we have always been able to lean on each other during the difficult times. He is loving, supportive, and has a unique sense of humor that matches my own. Kurt is also an amazing father to our daughter Maddie. She is always working out in the garage with him on his projects or practicing cornhole or bowling with him.
