starting our new journey with adoption. We feel strongly that we will be led exactly where we need to be to add onto our family. We hope this message is received with love and assurance that we have the best and most genuine intentions. We know that this is the greatest gift we could possibly receive and we’re so happy that you have made it to this point. That being said, let me tell you more about our family. Our family enjoys the simple things in life. We love going on little adventures to new places, eating out on the weekends, riding our fourwheeler, going laser tagging and spending our evenings outside at our firepit with our two golden retrievers. We plan yearly vacations so we can always have something fun to look forward to. It’s a priority for us to have lasting memories and quality time together. Cory fills the role of protector and provider perfectly. He always makes sure our family has what we need. He has sacrificed a lot towards his education and has been awarded his PHD. When he’s not working he loves to be on the mountains, or spending his evenings at home with the Kenadee was meant to be a mom and wife. She is a nurturer, a talented baker with her own

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.
Matthew and Martha

Adoption has been on our hearts since we started dating, and we can’t wait to become parents and build a family together. We believe that true connection with a child is about unconditional love, understanding, and building a chosen family. To us, adoption feels like a calling, something deeply meaningful and intentional. We can’t wait to welcome a child into our lives and cheer them on every step of the way! They say to “marry your best friend,” and that’s exactly what we did. From the moment we met at a friend’s bonfire, we clicked and quickly became inseparable. A couple of years and a few dates later, we said “I do.” 11 years later, we are still loving life together. We run our own business, so our open schedules let us enjoy little everyday adventures, like taking breaks at the beach with our dog, riding bikes at the bay, visiting the zoo, or exploring new places in our city. A BIT ABOUT MATTHEW Matt has a talent for pretty much anything he sets his mind to. Whether he’s tinkering with computers, taking on house projects, or exploring new video games, he is always mastering some new task. He also has a knack for building things around the house and yard. Matt’s sense of humor keeps life fun and fresh, always making sure everyone has a good time. He’s the steady heart of our home, kind, thoughtful, loving, and endlessly supportive.
