Our Story
A Little About Us
We both work in tech and our hobbies include music, cooking, home renovation and skiing. We are devoted dog parents to our beautiful golden retriever, Lilo, and we love spending time with our three young nephews and newborn niece.
Six years ago we met at a local beer garden. We were introduced by a mutual friend who thought we would be a great match. They were right! We instantly connected on our common interests and values. Being normally shy people, we were surprised by how comfortable we were with each other right away. It felt like we had known each other forever! Not too long after, we were dating and meeting each other’s families.
When talking about our future, it was clear to both of us that we wanted to get married and start a family. We got engaged on Christmas Day and had a small wedding ceremony at our home the following year. It was perfect! Since then, we’ve continued to be inseparable. We’ve bought (and renovated) our home, raised our dog Lilo, traveled, and watched plenty of shows, cozy on our couch, all together.
About Chris (by Tim)
One of the things I most love about Chris is that he always prioritizes family. No matter how crazy life gets, he’s always there to help. Like when he stayed with his mom for a week to care for her after a surgery or when he babysits our nephews when their parents need a getaway. And at home, Chris constantly spoils me with delicious homemade dinners and helps me handle stressful days with support and hugs. It’s clear that Chris is going to make a fantastic father!
I can always count on Chris to figure out how to fix something around the house. He’s a great problem-solver, if there’s something he doesn’t know how to do (not much!), he takes on the challenge to learn a new skill. We’ve worked on some super-intimidating renovation projects that I really couldn’t do without Chris.
Chris has led a very successful career as a software engineer. He is incredibly smart and has high expectations of himself and others to make the best product possible. His job has also allowed him to meet some very close friends whom I’ve gotten to know and even traveled with!
About Tim (by Chris)
Why We Want to Adopt
Hello! We are Chris and Tim, a young couple living in the northeast looking to start a family through adoption. Thank you for considering us to be part of your story!
Our Life and Lifestyle
In high school Tim was active in the jazz band and soccer team, but he also excelled academically. He went to a renowned engineering school and moved to California after graduating to start a career in special effects. I am always so proud when I see his name in the credits of a major film.
Tim grew up only fifteen minutes from me, although we never met as kids. He has always been close with his family, especially his parents and younger sister. Even now he texts his Mom every day and we eat Sunday dinner with them often. Tim is also a rock and support for his younger sister as she raises her two young children. He cares so much for our dog Lilo. He is always thinking about her well-being and spoiling her. No one could ask for a better Dad.
As a husband and person, I can be stubborn. It’s a good thing Tim has a seemingly endless amount of patience. I’ve never heard him get angry at a colleague, friend, or family member. He will keep trying until he gets it right, and he won’t make you feel bad when he’s right.
We live in a spacious single family home in a small suburban town in the northeast. We moved in about five years ago and have worked since to renovate and make this our forever home. It’s important to us to have a comfortable space to live and raise a family in.
Our town has an excellent school system and an active local Pride group that makes us feel at home. The donut shop is what really keeps us here though (mostly kidding). Proximity to a world-class city, diverse food and cultures, and the beautiful nature all around us are why we continue to love the northeast.
We live within driving distance to most of our extended family and love spending time with them on a regular basis. Whether it’s attending a birthday, hosting a holiday party at our house, or just meeting our parents for dinner, there’s always a family event that keeps us all close.
Our Promise
We promise to love your child every minute of every day. We will teach them about their story and

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

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!
