Our Story
Your baby will become part of our everyday lives. As they grow, they will have so many adventures. They will have a lot of cousins and friends to play with, and a lot of family members who will want to hold them forever.
We met 16 years ago while out with friends at a local bar. We had a mutual friend we were with that night. From there we went on dinner dates, nature walks and horseback ridings, and an engagement 6 months later. We were both in school and working to save for a wedding a year and a half later. We have always been hard-working individuals with a passion to start a family.
We have built a strong foundation and beautiful life that we are eager to share with our future child. This consists of a strong support system, a safe home, and a quiet neighborhood. Daniel is a cardiac sonographer, and Tricia is a veterinary technician. We live with our loving dog, Dorothea.

measure. Your choice of adoption is one of immense strength and generosity. Adoption is a familiar word in our family. Sarah was adopted by her parents and she understands both the challenges and triumphs of that experience from the child’s perspective. We would be excited and honored to give that same unconditional love to your baby. Our battle with secondary, unexplained infertility has been a message from God that adoption is our path to grow our family. Infertility has been hard, but getting to follow in Sarah’s parents’ footsteps is powerful. To share a little about us , Kennedy loves her friends and family. Her favorite things to do are being with her animals, riding horses, snowboarding, and playing music with her dad, Cameron. Cameron is an athlete and a musician. He is a wealth of knowledge when it comes to these things. Hearing the first note of any song, he can tell you who sings it, and what year it was released. Oh yeah-and he loves Jeopardy!

We hope this letter finds you in a moment of peace. We want to assure you that we approach this with the utmost sincerity and respect. We want your child to know their story, to understand the immense love that led to this decision, and to feel proud of where they came from. We are open to discussing how we can honor your role in their life while providing them with love and security. Please know you are not alone on this journey; we are thinking of you and praying you have strength and peace while navigating this time in your life. Our adventure began in May 2016. Rocky swears it was love at first sight, while Heather took her sweet time catching up. Back then, Heather was fostering teenagers, but Rocky wasn't deterred; he jumped right in, ready to tackle life with teenagers like a pro. His compassion, sharp wit, and uncanny ability to listen, quickly won Heather's heart. She initially thought he was too good to be true, yet he proved her wrong day after day. They tied the knot in 2020 with a paddle-board ceremony due to covid regulations. Note from Rocky Rocky describes Heather as being the most genuinely honest, loving, and caring person he has ever met. Her smile lights up his world. She embraces life's experiences with the enthusiasm of a kid in a candy store, and Rocky feels incredibly lucky to have found her. Heather has this magical ability to inspire everyone around her to become their best selves, loving everyone for who they are. Note from Heather Heather describes Rocky as always thinking of others and finding ways to lend a hand, whether it’s helping family or making Heather laugh on a tough day. He has a special gift for teaching, too. Every time they take on a new project, Heather learns something new. She feels incredibly lucky to have a partner who’s not only kind and capable but also loves diving into life’s adventures by her side. Heather is the middle child of five siblings, and Rocky is the youngest of two. Heather and Rocky are very close with their families, and everyone lives within a 30-minute drive. They often get together for dinner and play soccer or volleyball at the park. Rocky and Heather love to spend their free time with family and friends, but they especially love to hang out with their nieces and nephews; whether it’s goofing around in the backyard or cheering them on at one of their games or performances. Their fur babies are a big part of their lives. They have two wonderful dogs; Barkley is the sweetest and brings a smile to their faces every day. Maezie has lots of energy and keeps them on their toes. They also have three adorable cats; Geppetto is timid and loves snuggles, Poppy is their little shadow, and Mavis is their adventurous hunter that loves the outdoors. Rocky works full time close by and is able to maneuver his schedule.

I'm a cheerful, hard-working single lady who teaches at a university. I've got an incredibly strong relationship with my parents, not to mention a squad of friends who are The Best™. My job allows me to be home five days a week, and any child in my family qualifies for free tuition at the university I work at. Each day in our family is a new adventure, between teaching, hanging out with my friends, and trying to learn new things to bake. When I'm not cooking, I can often be found cuddling my dogs, watching my favorite movies, or working in the garden. But, I also love to travel and experience new cultures. Going to concerts Craft nights with friends Attending musicals and plays Favorite Shows: Ghosts, Great British Baking Show, and The Repair Shop Favorite Movies: Miss Congeniality, The Court Jester, Captain America: The Winter Soldier Favorite Vacation: Yellowstone National Park Favorite Places: Ireland and New Zealand Our Neighborhood I live in a cute Tudor-style house in a quiet neighborhood with my parents, Mat and Paula. Our backyard has about twenty rose bushes in the 'secret garden' half of the yard. On the other side of the yard is our vegetable garden. We love to grow a lot of our own vegetables and fruit; there's nothing like fresh strawberries! Just a couple of blocks away from our house is a darling park, and in the other direction is our local library. Pretty much everyone in the neighborhood knows us (mostly because the dogs love to say hi to anyone they see on our walks). We're also part of a close-knit church community, and most Sundays I walk to church. Family Traditions Every Christmas we get ornaments that represent something important for the year In the winter, we put luminaria in front of the house Halloween is when our extended family gets together for a Not-So-Spooky Dinners Every other year, we go on vacation to Yellowstone National Park
