Our names are Skye & RJ and we’re from northern Indiana. Both of us have spent much of our lives in Indiana. We were fortunate to grow up in stable, loving homes that instilled individuality, honesty, bravery, and kindness. While we both attended Purdue University, we actually met while working as camp counselors at a zoo and have loved each other more every day since. Our lives and careers took us from the west coast to the east coast before returning to the Midwest. We were married in 2016 and bought our first home in 2018, in a safe, family-friendly neighborhood, where we enjoy visiting the local parks and diverse events.

After over ten years together, we’re ready to open our hearts and home to children. Adoption has always been our first choice when deciding to grow our family; we have never seen ourselves having children by any other means. We’re blessed to have the support of our families, and the opportunity to seek out a birth parent(s) that would choose us to be parents. Much of our free-time is spent with family. We are godparents to our nephew, who happens to be adopted. We are close with our parents, siblings, aunts uncles, and grandparents, most of which live close by. Family time is extremely important to us and we take a big family trip each year. When we are not with family, we enjoy traveling, watching horror movies, spending time with our pets (2 small dogs and a cat), or working on our hobbies. RJ enjoys sports, writing, and theater. Skye enjoys quilting, baking, and reading. We also love to travel and hope to see every National Park in the US! Our passions have always overlapped with our choice in careers. While we both started out as zoo keepers, our careers have each taken a turn towards education. RJ is a junior high science teacher. Skye is a senior director of a tutoring facility. Diverse hobbies and continuous learning are very important to us!
