Aaron & Kevin

Dear Expectant Mom, "It will be different for us, but we’re good at different." We aren’t sure where we first heard this quote, but it perfectly reflects how we feel about adopting a child. We understand that adoption is a journey of change and growth, and we’re excited to embrace that journey together with you. Why are we "good at different"? Kevin was born in Indonesia and moved to the U.S. at 19 to attend college. Learning English, navigating a new culture, and working hard to support himself has shaped Kevin into a resilient, determined person who deeply values the importance of family. His upbringing taught him the meaning of sacrifice and the importance of always giving back to those he loves. Aaron’s family is unique, to say the least! His parents have collectively been married for 50 years (spread across four marriages—yes, you read that right!). From these marriages, Aaron has gained one full brother, three half-brothers, a step-brother, a step-sister, and a wonderful extended family filled with love. Growing up in a non-traditional family has taught Aaron the value of love in all its forms, and how family can come together in many different ways. Our diverse backgrounds and experiences have shaped us into the people we are today—appreciating the beauty of hard work, the importance of family, and the deep joy of building a life together. We’re not afraid of challenges, and we know that the road ahead may be different—but we’re ready for it. We’d love to learn about you. As we begin this journey, we are excited to get to know you better. What are your hopes and dreams for your child? What kinds of experiences do you want them to have? Do you have any favorite places, foods, or movies? Is there somewhere you’ve always wanted to visit? Your child will grow up knowing the love you have for them, and we want to incorporate your favorite things into their life. Whether it’s playing your favorite song, visiting your favorite spot, or sharing a movie you love, we will cherish and honor the connection you have with your child. They will grow up knowing their heritage and understanding the love that has shaped them. We want to stay connected. We hope to keep in touch with you as your child grows. Whether it’s at birthday parties, trips to the park (do you love the outdoors?), or visits to the zoo (do you have a favorite animal?), we would love for you to be part of your child’s life. We welcome any contact you feel comfortable with, whether it’s through photos, videos, letters, or occasional video chats. It’s important to us that your child knows you and that you have the opportunity to be a part of their life. We are so excited about the possibility of becoming parents, and we would be honored to have you join us on this incredible journey. With all our love and appreciation, Kevin and Aaron
