Patrick loves cooking and spending time outdoors. Sarah loves baking and gardening.

Together, we love to travel, try new restaurants, and spend time with our friends and family.

Patrick: “Sarah has an immense kindness and compassion in the way she cares for others, her loyalty and unwavering support, and her ability to bring warmth and laughter into their home.”

Sarah: “Patrick is kind, patient, and dependable—the kind of person who makes everyone around him feel valued and at ease. He has a steady strength and calm presence that grounds our family, and his sense of humor brings light to even the most ordinary days.”

We are both very close to our families. Patrick has 2 parents, 2 sisters and 1 brother. He comes from a large extended family as well, as his mother is 1 of 9 children. Most of his cousins still live in the area today.

Sarah has 2 parents and 1 sister. Her parents are warm and loving people who value family deeply, and her sister shares that same caring spirit.

When we first discussed having children several years ago, we shared a mutual desire to adopt. With the difficulties we encountered with infertility, it has become clearer to both of us that adoption is the path for us.

We look forward to sharing so many special activities with our child — from cozy family movie nights and baking cookies together in the kitchen to exploring new places on weekend adventures. We can’t wait to read bedtime stories, celebrate holidays with our extended family, and enjoy simple moments like playing in the park or building blanket forts on rainy days. More than anything, we’re excited to create lasting memories filled with love, laughter, and togetherness.

We are very much looking forward to hosting holiday gatherings. It’s a time of love, laughter, and beginning new family traditions together.

Our neighborhood is quiet and safe, and we are fortunate to have great neighbors, many of whom have younger children. There are numerous schools and playgrounds nearby. We have a very large backyard, which is perfect for playing!
