Hello and thank you! We are John, Andy, Isabella & Camden from Minnesota.

Thank you SO much for considering us!

We are so appreciative that we can share a bit of our lives with you. We hope this photo book gives you insight into our adventurous and loving lifestyle and how excited we are to expand our family once again through the blessing of adoption. We truly respect and honor your courage as you embark on your adoption plan, and we are open to one that works for YOU!

We humbly thank you for your consideration and would truly love the opportunity to get to know you better.

Our Story

We met online in 2014 and immediately hit it off. Andy states that he knew John was special when he gained the approval of his trusted four-legged companion, Dexter (p.s. Dexter loves everyone).

After about a month and half, John asked Andy to be his first boyfriend. This was only the beginning of our adventure. We continued to spend time together and fell in love more each and every day. We traveled the world together and became an important part in each other’s life, always being there for one another.

In April 2017, we ventured outside of Barcelona, Spain to hike up the mountains of Montserrat. Once we reached the peak, John proposed to Andy in Spanish. Andy definitely shed a few tears and replied back “sí!” We tied the knot shortly after in October 2017 in a beautiful fall ceremony surrounded by family and friends.

We absolutely love and adore our children, Isabella and Camden. Izzy was born in Dallas, Texas and Camden was born in Houston, Texas. We are forever THANKFUL for their birth mothers who chose to place them with us.

Home sweet home!

We live in a lovely home in suburban St. Paul with plenty of space inside. We have a sizable backyard with a playground set, vegetable and fruit garden, apple and pear trees, and open areas for outdoor activities. Our community is full of children of all ages, and we love taking the kids to the neighborhood pool and park. We are minutes away from the Minnesota Zoo, parks, and lakes. Finally, our school district is one of the best in the state! 

Isabella

Isabella was born in June 2020 near Dallas, TX. We met her shortly after birth in the hospital, and fell immediately in love. Izzy is full of personality, is always happy, and loves being adventurous, just like her Daddy and Papa. Her favorite things to do include splashing in the neighborhood pool, riding her bike (both outdoors and indoors!), dancing, playing hide and seek, climbing to the top of the jungle gym, being a big helper (especially making food), and loving her younger brother. She is ecstatic to be an older sister again and help feed the baby bottles, just as she did with Camden.

Camden

Camden was born in February 2022 in Houston, TX. We were chosen to be his Daddy and Papa one day after his birth, and hopped on the first plane to meet our little boy. Camden is extremely loving, has the best laugh there is, cuddly, and studious (he loves letters, numbers, and shapes). His favorite things to do are reading books, building towers with blocks, going down slides, coloring, playing with puzzles, and copying anything his older sister is doing. Camden absolutely adores Izzy, and we know he’ll exhibit the same love toward your child.
