Our Story
How We Met
We first met in 2014 at a rock-climbing gym in Texas. We both found this rock-climbing group online and ironically it was the first time climbing with this group for the both of us. So glad we both decided to try something new and start rock climbing. What a great way to meet!
We immediately hit it off and both volunteered to do trail building (building new trails or maintaining old trails) at Colorado Bend State Park. When we arrived at the park Friday night, we set up camp and started talking and getting to know the other volunteers. Soon it was just us talking and staring at the stars well into the night before we finally noticed the time and headed off to bed to get some sleep before our early morning of work.
After that weekend, we kept running into each other at the rock-climbing gym when we met our group once a week to climb. We always seemed to be leaving at the same time and then ended up talking in the parking lot for an hour before we forced the conversation to an end so we could get some sleep before work the next morning. We soon realized we would need lessons if we really wanted to improve our climbing and be able to scale the harder routes. Now we were seeing each other twice a week (once for class and once to climb with our group). Our time together continued to grow and grow, and in 2016, we were married surrounded by our families.
A few words from Danielle
I've wanted to adopt ever since I was 18 years old when I helped at an orphanage in Peru. Seeing all the children that needed a loving home hit my heart and I knew that I would adopt one day. Over a decade later, we love how Alexis has added to our family and want her to have a sibling close in age to grow up with.
Why We Want to Adopt
Even though we may not know each other, we admire your courage. Making an adoption plan isn't an easy thing to do.
Our Life and Lifestyle
A Few words from Max
While I may not have always known adopting a child would be a part of my life, I have found great joy in the animals that we have adopted and now I cannot think of a better way to expand our family than by adoption.
What Max likes about Danielle
Max likes that Danielle is committed to everything that she does. She is almost completely fearless (she's always asking me to remove bugs from her workout area) and loves to try new things that we do together. She is a warm and affectionate person who is always thinking about the needs of others.
What Danielle likes about Max
Danielle likes Max' problem-solving skills and humor. Max always knows how to lighten the mood and make Alexis and Danielle smile (what he considers his most important job in our family). Max is dependable and always there when we need him.

We deeply respect that you are thinking about your child’s future & your own future in a way that requires incredible strength, love, & resilience. We appreciate that you have hopes & dreams guiding your journey, just as we do, & we are humbled by your willingness to take this path as you help others fulfill their dream of becoming a parent. We have found that the most growth in life tends to come from experiences we never imagined or saw coming. These events have shaped us & have become a part of who we are. We hope you find all the support & care you need to feel genuinely encouraged along the way. We are so happy to provide a child with a loving place to call home. We have family & friends who have adopted or are adopted. Everyone is supportive & happy for us! We are committed & enthusiastic about being a consistent presence, adapting & supporting a child through every new phase in life & growing with them through one another’s lessons & mistakes along the way. We both value education & spiritual growth. It is important to us that they have opportunities to grow in these areas as well. We will encourage them to gain experience & knowledge in whatever holds their interest. We will want them to feel comfortable in their identity & who they are. We will not hesitate to make connections & offer them experiences that will help them explore in a stable, comfortable way & at their own pace. We value wisdom, compassion, critical thinking, humility, love, & the ability to balance that love with reason. We will encourage them to consider these things in whatever path they choose to take in life. We will also remind them it’s important to take time to laugh & appreciate everything they have. I (Kate) met Ed 16 years ago online. I messaged Ed when I realized his profile had more heart & humor than the rest. Within our first conversation, we both knew we found a match in mental energy, playful banter, loyalty, & affection. We both work from home & make coffee together in the morning. We have a home-cooked meal at night & talk about anything & everything.

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!
