A home filled with love, laughter and adventure.

Hi, we're Brandon and Natalie! Thank you for taking the time to get to know us — we know this is a deeply meaningful decision, and we don’t take your courage lightly. Our life together is built on love, faith, and finding joy in everyday moments. We are both playful and adventurous, but we also love quiet evenings at home with family. We believe in raising a child with both roots and wings — security, belonging, and freedom to dream big. Family means everything to us, and we can’t wait to share our traditions, laughter, and hearts with a little one. We promise to create a safe, nurturing home filled with encouragement and unconditional love.

Our Story

We met at a two step dance hall and quickly realized how much fun we had together. Laughter has always been at the center of our relationship, along with a shared sense of adventure. After getting married, we dreamed of building a family where love, joy & faith are the foundation. Over the years, we've traveled, supported each other through challenges, and celebrated milestones big and small. Our relationship has only grown stronger, and we know we make a great team. We feel adoption is the path God has placed on our hearts. We are excited to welcome a child into our story and can't wait to share our lives, love, and faith with them and with our sweet Great Danes.   

Home sweet home!

We live in a warm, welcoming home with plenty of space for a child to play and grow. Our neighborhood is family-friendly, with parks, walking trails, and lots of children nearby. We've filled our home with love, laughter, and little traditions that we're excited to share with a future child. Our extended family is close and incredibly supportive — grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins can't wait to shower a little one with love. Family gatherings are full of games, good food, and lots of laughter. Our faith is also an important part of our home, and it helps guide us in parenting and life. We want our home to always be a place where a child feels safe, celebrated, and deeply loved.
