Brittany is an incredible person with a genuinely big heart. She naturally puts others before herself, and her kindness shows up in everything she does. She makes me a better person—more patient, thoughtful, and present. I know she will welcome a child into our family with warmth, understanding, and endless love.

From the beginning, I knew Curran was different. He is kind, steady, funny, and deeply considerate. He has a gentle way of making people feel valued, and he is someone others instinctively trust. Whether he’s spending time with our nieces and nephews or playing fetch with our dog, Ella, his warmth shines through. Seeing the way he cares for the people around him reassures me that he will be an incredible father.

Our journey to building a family began shortly after our marriage in 2020. We were excited to start this new chapter, but over the next five years we faced fertility challenges. The experience came with emotional highs and lows, yet it strengthened our bond and deepened our resilience. These challenges brought us closer and reaffirmed our belief in our ability to nurture, support, and love a child wholeheartedly.

Although the journey has been difficult at times, we now see it as what ultimately led us to adoption—a beautiful and meaningful way to grow our family. Adoption is not a second choice for us; it is the right choice, and we feel grateful, hopeful, and excited for the future.

We are surrounded by supportive family and friends who could not be more thrilled for this next chapter. Their encouragement has meant so much to us, and they are just as eager as we are to welcome a child into our lives.

In October 2021, after months of searching, we walked into the home where we hope to raise our future family. It’s a five-bedroom red colonial in a small town, and from the moment we stepped inside, we felt a sense of “this is it.” The farmhouse feel of the home, combined with 4.7 peaceful acres, made it easy to imagine building our lives here. Trails wind through the woods behind our house and lead to a nearby pond—perfect for exploring and playing. Each year we plant flowers and vegetables, and we look forward to sharing these simple joys with a child. More than anything, this home represents the warm, safe, welcoming place where we hope to build our family’s story.
