Hi! Thank you so much for taking the time to get to know us and view our profile. We are Cara and Andrew and we are hoping to grow our family through adoption. We have been married for six years and have known each other for many years, since middle school! We share a love for traveling and the outdoors and can usually find us hiking, grilling out with friends, camping, and going for sunset walks at the lake around the corner with our pups. We also enjoy relaxing at home, gardening and attempting small DIY projects. Although the journey to become parents hasn’t come easily for us, it has strengthened our relationship in ways we couldn’t imagine. We’ve found peace and comfort in each other, faith in God’s timing, and joy in the simplicities of life but our hearts keep coming back to adoption. Above all, we are two very hopeful people who are ready to become loving, compassionate parents. We can not wait to welcome your child into our home and families with unconditional love. We look forward to learning more about you and your hopes for your child's future.

Our Goddaughter’s Baptism

Complete the sentence, “I can’t live without……”

sunshine and fresh air, I love being outdoors. A great cup of coffee and interesting book are nice too!

Favorite season and why?

Summer. I enjoy the longer days, being on the lake, and spending more time outdoors.

-Andrew

The most special thing I own is...

our rescue pups! Our dogs are everything to us!

-Cara

My philosophy on parenting is...

try and approach all situations with love, offer guidance in a calm, respectful manner, and stay consistent with your parenting beliefs. I think it’s important to let the child be creative, independent and sometimes make mistakes so they can learn from them and build confidence but always know they have a stable support team behind them.

-Cara

We are the best choice because…

we promise to put your child first, to love them unconditionally, and to do everything in our power to offer them a beautiful, successful life.

-Cara

I would never...

say never! Life is full of twists and turns and the “nevers” have been some the best things to happen to me.

-Cara

Favorite season and why?

I love the way Spring brings new life and color to the world. I enjoy listening to the birds chirping, watching them look for new nesting spots. It represents a season of joy and hope that longer, warmer days are ahead.

My neighborhood is a good place to raise a family because…

We live in a safe, community involved neighborhood. Our town and nearby neighborhoods hold frequent culturally diverse festivals that are a lot of fun, especially for children. Our home is close to schools, our quaint downtown area, lots of parks, hiking trails, and a beautiful lake. There is always plenty to do and overall a great place to grow up.

Three years from now, I hope our child’s birth mom is…

Happy and living a life that brings her joy and peace. I hope she feels content and confident in her decisions that have brought us together. I want her to be a part of lives and our child’s life if that’s what she prefers.

-Cara

If you had to live on an RV or sailboat for the rest of your life, which would it be?

Living on a sailboat would be amazing but I would pick an RV because there are so many beautiful places in this country that I haven’t had the opportunity to visit. I also love camping and a good road trip!

-Cara

If I could choose one type of food to eat for the rest of my life, it would be:

tacos!

-Cara

My favorite place in the World is...

cuddling in bed with Andrew and our dogs!

-Cara

If I could change one thing about the World, it would be...

that people were more understanding and compassionate towards others

-Cara

My neighborhood is a good place to raise a family because…

it’s very safe and family-friendly. We have lots of great public and private schools nearby. We are surrounded by beautiful parks, playgrounds, lakes, and hiking trails. Our community hosts fun festivals monthly that we love to attend with our friends and their children.

-Cara

When we got engaged

future nursery

we love cooking together

When we argue, what’s it about?

mostly chores. Luckily we get along really well and don’t argue often. When we do it’s over little things that we are able to resolve quickly.

-Cara

Do you consider yourself religious or spiritual?

I would say I am both. Sometimes though its easier for me to understand and connect spiritually. I especially feel that when I’m surrounded by nature. We both grew up in the same church and still attend there.

-Cara

What scares you?

not getting to travel to all the beautiful places on my bucket list during my lifetime!

-Cara
