Our little family

My philosophy on parenting is...

Let kids be kids. Making mistakes and learning from them is important. Leaving space for creativity and independence, with safe guards in place of course.

-Leslie

We are the best choice because…

We have so much love for each other and to give. We are very fortunate for the life we have created and can't wait to have children to share it with.

-Leslie

Favorite season and why?

Spring or Fall in Arizona is amazing. There are so many outdoor adventures just a short drive away. We love hiking, camping, and being outside.

Adventours! from doing remodel projects, traveling the world, raising animals, we love it all!

I hope our child’s birth mother is…

understanding of our gratitude and how much this process means to us. I hope that she feels supported in her decision and that she feels comfortable with us to maintain whatever type of relationship feels right to her with the child.

-Leslie

Do you consider yourself religious or spiritual?

I believe in treating people well and having the most optimistic outlook on life that you can. From there, I feel good things will come your way.

-Kevin

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

RV! The flexibility to drive to specifc destinations is important!

-Leslie

Dogs or cats?

We are big dog people. We have three dogs that are all rescues and we love them dearly.

-Kevin

My favorite place in the World is...

So many; Costa Rica has to be the top of the list. We traveled there for our one year anniversary and fell in love with it!

-Kevin

When we argue, what’s it about?

When life gets busy, its easy to mistake emotions. We have found a great way to check in with each other without it getting emotional to ensure we are showing up for each other as needed.

-Leslie

The most special thing I own is...

Our home. We worked so hard to be where we are and we feel incredibly fortunate for the life we have created.

-Kevin

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

Its a quiet street with farm type properties and very neighborly residents. We have a large back yard/pasture with chickens and cows!

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

Ribeye steaks!

In five years our relationship with our child’s birth mother will…

Transparent and honest. We find it extremely important to make sure our child knows their story.

RV. 100%, we love traveling and seeing all of the wonderful things that the Southwest has to offer. We have taken RV trips in the past and had a blast.

When we argue, what’s it about?

I wouldn't say we "argue". We both disagree about things and have bad days, but ultimately we have found healthy ways to listen and understand each other, no matter what.

-Kevin

We are the best choice because…

We are incredibly passionate and dedicated in everything we do. Our success in life is rooted in our love and respect for each other.

-Kevin

My favorite place in the World is...

Home. I love the life that we have created and it my safe space. I feel like me there. Traveling is also super important and my favorite destination is New Zealand!
