and we are hopeful to adopt

Welcome to our online adoption profile! We're grateful to be among the families you're considering to raise your child. We built this webpage to give you a glimpse at who we are and what our life looks like.  Thank you for taking the time to get to know us!

whyexpand our family

We both grew up with siblings - Dylan with a younger brother and Tana with an older sister. And we’re so thankful we did. Having a sibling meant a built-in best friend, someone to share in all the fun, to be your ride partner at the amusement park, to learn from, and an ally that always has your back. We want our son and future child to go through that life with a relationship like that, just as we have.

We not only have room in our hearts but we are blessed with the resources and the familial support that makes bringing another child into our family an easy decision. It is our dream to give our kids even more than our parents gave us. To fill their lives with amazing adventures, and wonderful experiences, and to create memories that we’ll all cherish for the rest of our lives. And for us, this is the next step in that dream coming true.

whyADOPTION

Growing our family through adoption has always been our first choice. We have dreamed of adopting for as long as we can remember. It’s something we feel called to. But, it got even more real when...In July 2019, Dylan received a phone call from the hospital that a family member had given birth but wasn’t able to care for the baby. Being the only family she had, Dylan was given the choice to take the child in or allow the baby to be placed in foster care. This is how we adopted our only child Eli. Eli came home from the hospital 3 days after being born and has been a member of our family ever since (over 4 years).

Through our personal experience, we know that blood and genetics don’t make a family, love does. Our journey with our son has made us even more passionate about adoption and we are so excited to welcome a baby into our family.
