Hello! Our names are John and Kay
Nice to meet you!

Thank you for taking the time to get to know us as you view our profile.
We feel a natural call to adoption as a way to build our forever family as we remember that we too have been adopted into God’s family as His children and been given the gift of eternal life. This love we receive from God and from each other is what we will give your child. We will surround your child in a warm, supportive, and creative environment. Individually and as a couple, we deeply enjoy learning and being innovative. These are qualities that we hope to be able to instill in our child. We will emulate the love God has for us-His adopted children.
How Adoption Chose Us
WE FIRST MET AT A SUMMER CHURCH FESTIVAL WHEN WE WERE EIGHTEEN.
John was the bass player and Kay’s brother-in-law was the drummer for a Christian rock band. We never said a word to each other that day, but sat side by side eating pizza and feeing the mutual attraction after helping dismantle the music gear. Thanks to Facebook and Skype, our long-distance relationship blossomed and we began dating a few months later during Thanksgiving. We have been married for fourteen of the seventeen years we have been together. Watching our daughter interact with her extended family and cousins has been exciting and beautiful and has strengthened our resolve to further grow our family. After prayerful consideration and our previous experience with adoption, we believe this is the chosen path for us.
We look forward to further expanding our family and the highs and lows of growing together with one another in love.
Our Families of Origin - Meet the People we Treasure
KAY’S FAMILY
has always been very close and connected as they’ve grown and expanded. She grew up with two older sisters and her older half-brother, adopted at birth, found her family after 40+ years and has naturally become a part of the family along with his children. In total, Kay has nine nephews/nieces who all come with her siblings to family gatherings. Extended family holiday meals, music, campfires, deer hunting/processing, and gardening are all an integral part of their traditions.
JOHN’S IMMEDIATE FAMILY
includes his parents, two older sisters and an older brother. John, in total, has five nephews/nieces. Family traditions include an annual combined summer birthday and pool party celebration, holiday meals, whole family roller-skating or jump park outings, and extended family trips.
Right Where We Belong
WE LIVE IN A NEWLY BUILT, RAISED RANCH HOUSE CONSTRUCTED BY JOHN AND HIS FAMILY.
It includes 2.5 acres of land, a fenced-in garden, fruit trees, berry bushes, a chicken run and coop. The rural neighborhood is quiet but friendly, filled with parents with children, middle-aged couples with families, and older couples. A look out our big picture windows shows a mixture of woods and grasslands and farm fields. We are within driving distance of multiple community parks, a nature preserve, bluff hiking trails, multiple schools, and quaint downtown with restaurants, shops, and town square.

Our Final Thoughts
We promise to teach our child about God’s love for them, that character matters more than status or job salary, gratefulness makes one content, to have respect and compassion for all, how to grow and harvest food from the earth, and finally to make the most with what we have been given. Thank you for taking the time to get to know us a bit better by viewing our profile. Most importantly, thank you for considering an adoption plan for this beautiful little life you are bringing into the world. Know that we are praying for you during this decision-making process and hope for the best outcome for your child, regardless of whether or not that involves us. God bless!
