We're Alec and Kevin, filled with excitement and a sense of humility as we write to you today. We can only imagine the emotions you are experiencing at this moment, and while we may not fully understand your personal journey, we want to extend our heartfelt empathy and support. The journey of adoption for us is filled with joy, hope, and a bit of fear too. We've longed to share our lives with a child, to impart our love, our values, and our dreams. We're committed to creating a nurturing environment where a child can be themselves, explore the world, and chase their dreams. Alongside this excitement, we also want to celebrate and honor your child's unique heritage, starting from a young age, with openness and respect for your wishes. We promise to provide a constant loving environment and support your child at all walks of life. We see you as part of this journey and are open to whatever makes you most comfortable, be it pictures, visits, or shared experiences. Both sides of our family are eager to embrace your child, and we envision integrating them seamlessly into our community. We admire your strength and courage. We understand that this decision is neither easy nor simple, and we are grateful beyond words for your consideration. We will surround your child with a supportive environment, encourage them to explore, travel, and be who they are. Thank you so much for considering us. We hope our words resonate with you, and we are here, ready to listen, to learn more about you, and to walk this extraordinary path together. Your love, trust, and sacrifice mean the world to us, and we look forward to hearing from you. With warmest regards,
Alec & Kevin
Us and our dog Winona on 4th of July weekend at Alec's aunt's cottage on Lake Huron.
2023 was the year of travel for our dog Winona. She made it to 4 states and even Canada! Here she is pictured in Wisconsin on Sturgeon Bay.
Us on our wedding day, since we are both home brewers it was fitting our wedding should be at the brewery we met at: Maumee Bay Brewing
My best friend would describe me as...
Friendly and Caring
-Alec
If I could choose one type of food to eat for the rest of my life, it would be:
Hands down pizza. It's just so versatile. I also love how it can be a representation of local culutre. We have Detroit style (my favorite), NY style, Chicago style, California style, and so many more.
-Kevin
In five years our relationship with our child’s birth mother will…
what the birth mother desires. We plan to honor the birth mothers wishes for the relationship they want with their child.

Favorite season and why?
Fall because I love me some pumpkin cream cold brew. LOL I also love Apple Cide and Donuts.
-Alec
Exploring some of Michigan's small towns with Alec's sister Grace and brother-in-law Shaun. WInona came too!
Whether it's a 90-degree scorcher or just another sunny day, you'll always find Winona soaking up her favorite rays. ☀️🐶

If you had to pick a famous person to play you in a movie, who would it be?
I think I would choose Jake Gyllenhaal because he always seems so humble and has a really good singing voice.

We are the best choice because…
we offer a loving, stable home filled with laughter and support. With a strong community around us and a passion for travel, we're eager to provide enriching experiences and unconditional love to a child.
-Alec

my family, friends, college football, and Broadway musicals.
-Kevin
In five years our relationship with our child’s birth mother will…

If I could change one thing about the World, it would be...
universal health care for all, no matter the country, person, or economic level.
-Kevin
The most special thing I own is...
our dog. Although it's not so much as own as it is her being an integral part of the family. I love watching her grow, learn, and discover the world. And I'm most excited to see how she welcomes a baby into her life.
-Kevin
My favorite place in the World is...
Anywhere with my husband, but if I had to choose, I would say my college town becuase of all the memories it brings back.
-Kevin
If I could have dinner with anyone—dead or alive—I would pick...

If you had to live on an RV or sailboat for the rest of your life, which would it be?
1000% RV. I love to go on a cruise ship but I would get tired of the water. Plus their are so many places on land I need to visit yet!
-Alec
What is the best word to describe our family?
Dependable
-Kevin
If you had to live on an RV or sailboat for the rest of your life, which would it be?
I would 100% choose an RV. I love the idea of exploring the world on 4 wheels, discovering small quant towns, and seeing the beauty of the countryside.
-Kevin
What scares you?
Spiders. If I see one, it's automatically time to leave wherever I am.
-Alec
If you had to pick a famous person to play you in a movie, who would it be?
I'm not really a celebrity person, they don't do anything for me. So...I don't know, Will Arnett?
-Alec
My best friend would describe me as...
loyal, courageous, and determined. A person who allows you to make mistakes or wrong decisions, but they are still met with grace, love, and freedom to learn from them.
-Kevin
When we argue, what’s it about?
Music choice. We value music in very different ways, but we both agree that whoever is driving gets to choose the music.
-Kevin
From Our Honeymoon: You can't go to Australia without seeing a koala.
Fall is our favorite season and it isnt fall without a visit to the apple orchard!
Our families share a memorable day at the Roatan, Honduras zoo.
My philosophy on parenting is...
A parent should be there to provide love and guidance to their child. They should be someone who is relaiable and will teach their child all about the world, both the good and bad. A parent creates a loving home where their child can be their true authentic selves.
-Kevin
If I could have dinner with anyone—dead or alive—I would pick...
My grandmother (mom’s mom). She passed away when I was very young and I think we would have had a very special connection.
-Kevin
My neighborhood is a good place to raise a family because…
we have several families and great neighbors in our neighborhood and two small parks a few blocks from our home.
-Alec
My favorite website is (...not your Facebook page :)):
Reddit. I google everything with "reddit" after it to get first hand responses on things.
-Alec
Our first day in Syndey, Australia on our honeymoon. Just a tad bit jet-lagged.
Kevin: Getting ready to take flight and fly our plan in New Zealand. Don't worry, a licensed pilot had control at all times.
Alec: Meeting the master of 'taking it slow' at the zoo!
When we argue, what’s it about?
Driving style. We're both very safe drivers but I just like to be in control.
-Alec
Favorite season and why?
I love the fall! Cooler weather, football games, sweaters, the changing color of the leaves, and Halloween. It also means winter and the holidays are right around the corner, which is my second favorite season.
-Kevin
I would never...
give up on someone after one mistake. I believe in forgiveness and working through things. People make mistakes and that's ok. There can come a time when you need to let someone go, but I would try my best to reconcile the relationship first.
-Kevin
My favorite website is (...not your Facebook page :)):
Instagram. I enjoy that it provides me with updates for my many interests all in one place and that I can scroll through the endless pictures of places to travel.
-Kevin
We are the best choice because…
We will provide your child with unwavering love, support, and a sense of belonging. We are two people full of love to share and an incredible support network that will allow your child to never feel alone.
-Kevin

Hands down, Pizza. You can have breakfast pizza, regular pizza, dessert pizza. It really can be a meal for any occasion.
-Alec
Dogs or cats?
Dogs all the way! Cats are good too, but we love our dog and the companionship she provides us. Plus night time cuddles are the best.
-Kevin
As part of our honeymoon, we took a cruise to New Zealand, our ship had a unique observaiton area that went over the ship.

The correct answer is dogs. Final answer.

Really anywhere with Kevin...but...since you're twisting my arm-New Zealand.
-Alec
I would never...
