Hello! We are Alli and Roger!

We want to begin by saying how grateful we are that you are taking the time to learn about us. We are amazed by the strength and courage it takes to consider adoption for your child. We hold deep respect for you and can only imagine how difficult this decision must be. Please know that, regardless of your decision for the placement of your child, we have a small army of friends and family who have been praying on your behalf throughout this process. As first-time parents, we trust God's plan and timing for us and would be honored to raise your child in a home centered on faith, love, and gratitude for you.

If we are chosen to become the parents of your child, we promise to provide a safe, nurturing, and loving home. We will celebrate their wins and walk with them through life's challenges. We will raise them to know how deeply loved they are by us and by you. We will talk about you often and speak with respect and gratitude for the incredible role you have in their story.

We know how difficult this decision must be, and we respect and support you no matter what path you choose. We hope you find reassurance in knowing that if you choose us, your child will be cherished every single day.

Thank you for your strength and for allowing us to share a piece of our hearts with you.

Our Story

Roger and I have been happily together since 2014 and married since 2019, building a relationship defined by unwavering trust, open communication, and deep resilience. Over the past decade, our bond has been tested and profoundly strengthened by major life transitions, including navigating four different city relocations, managing career changes, and supporting one another through surgeries. Rather than pulling us apart, these challenges allowed us to grow into an unbreakable team. After years of chasing our dreams, we have finally found our forever home and established a stable, peaceful foundation. We genuinely love spending time together and find our greatest joy in the simple, outdoor rhythms of daily life. Whether we are working side by side in our garden, going for bike rides, or relaxing together on our patio.

We are incredibly proud of the safe, loving, and supportive partnership we have built, and we are eager to welcome a child into this joyful and secure environment.

Home and Family

We live in the wonderful Midwest!

We can be in the big city in an hour or enjoy our little suburban life. We are surrounded by parks, splash pads, museums, and zoos. Our local community is active and supportive. We have a trail that runs through our neighborhood where we can walk or ride our bikes to a coffee shop or a great lunch spot. We are so lucky to have all of our schools within walking distance from our home. The schools are highly rated and diverse. We absolutely love that our community has plenty to do that can be simple or a big adventure.

We have an amazing dog named Toby. Toby is a blue heeler who walked into our life unexpectedly. He was a stray that showed up at our door and instantly captured our hearts. Toby loves to go on long walks to the park and play with his friends. He could play catch all day long if we allowed him to. Although he loves to be outdoors, when he is inside he snuggles up on the couch to watch TV with us. Toby loves kids and is very calm when they are around. He has spent time with both toddlers and infants and loves them both equally.

We both come from very larger families. Alli has 8 siblings and Roger has 5. Although we are all spread out throughout the United States, we are very close as a family. Thank goodness for technology! We love to FaceTime and get a glimpse of our nieces’ and nephews' days and catch up with our siblings. Our families are really good about getting together every summer and holiday season, with lots of visits from our parents throughout the year.

Thank you!

We want you to know that we are praying for you and your child. The love you have for your child as you consider such a difficult decision does not go unnoticed. We pray that you have peace, clarity, strength, and know you are not in this alone. We would love to hear your desires for the future. If chosen, we would love to send pictures and updates throughout the years and are open to having occasional phone calls if you are comfortable with that. It is important to us that your child knows who you are and understands the special role you have in their story.

If we are chosen and given the honor of raising your sweet child, we promise to love, support and guide them through all life's obstacles.
