About Us
As a couple, we make a point to set aside some time each week to be with our friends. Whether it is just to grab a cup of coffee, have brunch or meeting for dinner - we love being around our friends. They are all very excited for us to adopt and we imagine there will be lots of playdates with their children in the future!
We also enjoy cooking dinner together and having a meal at our table. After dinner, we often enjoy a good family TV show cuddled up on the couch the three of us (the dog!). On Friday's we usually have pizza or stromboli night!
On the weekends, one of our favorite things to do is to visit the nearby state park, where we walk the trails with our dog and soak up some sun! We also enjoy going to our small city’s downtown area to window shop and check out books out at the large, but warm, library. Sundays tend to consist of church, laundry, cleaning and catching up on our to-do list. We tend to run all errands together.
We are hoping to adopt a newborn domestically. We are open to multiple races and genders. We are interested in having an adoptive relationship in which we send pictures and updates to the birthmother.

About Brendan by Lauren: My husband, Brendan, is the love of my life and my partner throughout every endeavor. He is the most caring, patient, open-minded, strong and understanding man that I know. He has such a big heart and would do anything for anyone without expecting a thing in return. Brendan is a special education teacher and seeing him teach and change students lives is one of the reasons I fell in love with him. Brendan has also been the basketball coach at our school for five years, which has made him a strong male role model in many of these boys eyes. You can see it by the way they look at Brendan that for that short basketball season. Through watching Brendan in the classroom and seeing him on the basketball court, it becomes most apparent that this man was meant to be a father, and that he would be the perfect dad. Brendan cares so much about his students; it makes me want to see how much he will care for a child! I know it will be incredible and I won’t be able to take my eyes off of them. |
About Lauren by Brendan: My wife, Lauren, is an amazing woman who cares for every person she meets, no matter what. She is always looking out for those she loves and finding new ways to make them happy, whether it be big or small. For example, when I am mowing the lawn and it is hot out, she always leaves a water bottle for me. She has also done larger things like throwing me a surprise birthday party with all of my friends. It's these types of things that make me confident that she will do everything she can to make sure that a child knows that they are loved. Not only does Lauren teach her students about art, but she also teaches them the importance of expressing themselves and how to do it in way that is meaningful. She works so well with all the students and cares about each one of them individually. She truly is a mentor to these children and would do anything for "her kids." It's because of this natural motherly quality, that I know Lauren is going to be an incredible mom. She has so much love in her heart to share with a child, and I look forward to the day that she can finally hold a baby in her arms. |
