Dear Birth Mother,
Our Story
In 2006, we happened to meet at a work event. Since then we have been inseparable and have supported each other through good and bad times. After dating for only 6 months, we knew we had something special and moved in with each other. Then after 5 years of dating, we were married on July 29th, 2011.
Working on ourselves and our relationship has taught us the importance of love, team work and communication. We work together well because we listen, are honest, respect each other’s ideas and always remember to have fun and be silly.
A few months later we decided we were ready to have a child and our son Jase was born on Dec 11th, 2012. Jase was born with a rare medical condition, requiring a trach and G-tube, that has created some challenges for our family. Through the help of great nurses and his experience in the NICU, we learned not only how to care for his specific medical needs but also so much about compassion, patience, enjoyment of the simple things and overcoming adversity.
We also have a great community of diverse families to enjoy activities and navigate these challenges. This condition is genetic, so we have decided that adoption is the best choice for us to grow our family. We always pictured having a bigger family and are looking forward to more play dates, cheering on all the Chicago sports teams, sharing our love, and Jase having a partner in crime.

About Bryan:
Bowling is my biggest passion outside of spending time with my family. I am very competitive within the two leagues that I am in, and average 200 in both. I also enjoy golfing, playing poker and reading.
Caddying was my first job starting when I was 13, and something I continued to enjoy doing for the next 10 years. I came to greatly appreciate the sport and enjoy playing the occasional 18 holes with friends. I’ve been reading for as long as I can remember. I enjoy reading fantasy novels with a focus in magic, like Harry Potter. I also enjoy the occasional poker game with the guys.

Our Family:


The three of us are so excited to bring another child into the family. Our new baby will be welcomed by 4 caring grandparents, 2 charismatic uncles, 1 loving aunt and 4 rambunctious cousins, as well as several family friends. Everyone is ready to spoil, love and teach the baby what it means to be a part of our large close-knit family.
Holidays are cherished times, with special foods, decorations and quality time. Our biggest holiday celebration is Christmas. Our Christmas starts with 2 large family parties, a visit from Santa, opening gifts at midnight, and waking up to family and stockings. We can’t wait to share our traditions with another child, especially holidays. We are eager to create new family traditions, too.
Thank you!

We vow to love, cherish, protect and encourage your child to grow up to be the best version of him or herself. We will provide your child with a loving family, playful environment and a safe and stable home.
We would like to take the opportunity to thank you for considering us as you plan your baby’s future. We look forward to getting to know you and learning about your wishes for future contact. We understand that you may want to have an open adoption and we are eager to learn what that means to you.
