Family Life

Some of our favorite things to do are as simple as spending a night at home together eating dinner with our dog, Benny, and watching a movie. We enjoy listening to music while cooking and cleaning. Sometimes, we turn the music on just to sing and dance along. Hilariously, our dog finds both equally offensive! We love watching football games together and playing in our fantasy leagues against family and friends. Outside of this, we enjoy going to the zoo, historical museums, and taking Benny on adventures.

We go to our Presbyterian church when we are not working on Sundays. We are also a big board game family as we often play many different and new board games at family holidays. We love spending time with our families and friends. We are both very family oriented and are lucky to grow up with loving and supportive parents, grandparents, and siblings. This is exactly the environment we want to recreate for your child – one full of love, family, and wonderful childhood memories.

Lifestyle

We live in a suburban town with schools nearby and close to family and friends. We have a fenced-in backyard where our dog, Benny, loves to run around. Our town has a diverse population that brings in even more diversity with its restaurants, theaters, and shopping districts. It also holds fun family events around the holidays and all summer long. We have a few parks and playgrounds in our town and neighboring towns that are really nice that we would love to take our child to one day.

Adoption

With your blessing, we will share your child’s adoption story with them from birth. We also want your child to know you and know where they came from. Whether it be annual visits at the Family Options picnic, emails, photos, and/or letters, we want what is best for you and your child.

One of David’s older siblings married an Asian woman. Another sibling adopted his wife’s first son. Ethnically, his son is a combination of Hispanic and Black. It makes no difference to him or us that he looks different. He is just family. She is also family. That is all that matters. We are also very open about learning/incorporating other cultural differences into our lives. Recently we started learning about Judaism due to a family friend on Taylor’s side. It ends up being a great time learning about Passover and Hanukkah while teaching them about Easter and Christmas.
