A Letter from Bryan & Logan
Hi! Thank you for learning about us. We look forward to getting to know you. We’re an upbeat, fun-loving family of 3 from Pennsylvania, who would be excited to share our lives with your child. Our family values quality time together, learning and education, building deep relationships, honoring family traditions, and sharing our faith. We enjoy being active, cheering on our favorite sports teams, traveling to new and familiar places, reading, listening to good music, drinking great coffee and snuggling with our two dogs – Frannie and Klem. We love being parents to our daughter, Sloane, who will be such a good big sister. We’d love to welcome your child into our lives and share an open adoption with you, if you’d like an ongoing connection. We are excited to grow our family through adoption!
About Us
We grew up on opposite sides of the state of Pennsylvania. After graduating from college, we both settled in the same city and began pursuing our careers. Being avid sports fans, it is only fitting that we met watching the Steelers play in the AFC Championship game. While the game was a complete bust, sparks flew and eventually Bryan mustered up the courage to ask Logan out. We soon realized that we had a ton in common, shared an appreciation for good coffee and we’re passionate about building a family together. We’ve been together for six and a half years and are coming up on our fourth wedding anniversary soon.
Becoming parents has been one of the greatest adventures we have experienced thus far in our marriage. We look forward to welcoming another child into our home and cannot wait to enjoy everyday moments like movie nights, reading books together, playing with cousins, and cuddling with our dogs.
Meet Bryan (by Logan)
Watching Bryan become a father has only deepened my love and appreciation for him as a husband. He is a joy to be around and a natural “kid magnet”. Bryan is loved by all our friends and their children, and adored by our daughter Sloane, as well as “the cousin crew” who affectionately refer to him as “Uncle Bebo”!
He brings the fun to every situation. If you are looking for Bryan, you will always find him right in the center of all the action…down on the floor playing with Magna Tiles, sliding down a slide with a child on his lap, teaching Sloane to ride a scooter, chasing seagulls on the beach, kissing away hurts or giving out cuddles.
I love listening to him talk to Sloane and seeing the love reflected back in her eyes, which gives me confidence that he will be equally nurturing and loving to any future child we welcome into our home. I feel beyond blessed to have him on our team.
On the weekends you can usually find Bryan playing a round of golf, or grabbing wings and pizza with friends while watching one of his beloved Philadelphia sports teams.
Meet Logan (by Bryan)
Logan brings out the best in me…she truly is an amazing wife, a phenomenal mother, and a true friend. I’m grateful to have her by my side on this journey.
I admire Logan’s gift for cultivating relationships. She’s a great listener and a trusted confidant, who offers wise counsel when asked. Her friendships run deep because she’s intentional about doing the small things that make people feel seen and valued. She’s always writing letters, sending flowers, cooking a meal for a new mom, or calling a friend to catch up.
I appreciate Logan’s commitment to maintaining a peaceful, loving home, which is only possible by her gift for organization. She is the CEO of our home and family…the reason things run so smoothly, and how we stay connected to family and community.
I always knew Logan would be a great mom, but what has truly amazed me is her kindness and perseverance through anything. She is patient and brings order to our busy lives, makes sure we eat dinner together, and never fails to place the needs of our family before her own.
In her free time, she loves to decorate, read, host book club, visit new restaurant with girlfriends, research new vacation spots to visit, and sweat it out at yoga class.
Our Home In Pennsylvania
Our home is a warm, inviting place with a great layout perfect for having people get together. We hope to create a place where our children love to spend time and feel comfortable inviting their friends. Our two story, three-bedroom house has a large deck perfect for grilling, and a huge fenced-in backyard. Our neighbors have also become like family. Some even attend our small group through church and our next door neighbor helps with our dogs and plants when we travel, as well as occasional date night baby sitting. This has been a great place to raise our family!
Fun Fact: Our house is located one street over from the house where Logan grew up. We chose the location because of the excellent schools and close proximity to family. When the weather is nice, you can find Sloane playing with sidewalk chalk, riding her scooter, or dancing and waving as the ice cream truck drives by.
Our Family
Our daughter, Sloane, is our playful and energetic 2-year-old who lights up our life. She is very sweet with a fun imagination. Sloane loves Daniel Tiger, arts and crafts, playing outside, and playing with our dogs (her best friends).
Extended Family: Both sides of our family are excited we’re adopting! We love celebrating holidays and sharing our favorite traditions together. Our families find any reason to stay connected for holidays, birthdays, special events, and everything in between. Logan is the oldest of 3 sisters and is very close with her family. They talk daily, host events together often, and take special trips together. Bryan is the youngest in his family and very close with his sister. His parents have been married over 40 years and recently moved from his childhood home to the beach. They look forward to trips to Disney, building sandcastles and making beach memories with their grandchildren.
A few traditions our family loves:
• Weekly play dates and dinners with Logan’s youngest sister and family.
• Trips to see Logan’s middle sister’s family in North Carolina (with regular Facetime and phone calls in between visits!).
• Holidays and special occasions when Bryan’s parents come stay with us.
• Having family game nights on Zoom with Bryan’s sister and her family who live outside of Philly.
• Personalized hand-knitted stocking for each child’s first Christmas.
Our Promise
Our promise to you as adoptive parents is to give your child the tools necessary to help them succeed and thrive in life. We plan to teach them to be good listeners, to respect authority and to value the opinions of others.
To surround them with loving family, trusted friends and a dynamic faith community to nurture them and help them grow into wise, compassionate adults, who love the Lord and serve others.
To instill in them the desire to be life-long learners, to provide them access to the best education and opportunities to cultivate their love for learning.
To honor you in our home, and lovingly share the important role you played in bringing our families together through adoption. We will respect and uphold whatever level of contact that makes you feel most comfortable.
Most importantly we promise to love your child as our own, to shower them with affection, to cherish the things that make them unique, to provide them a safe, peaceful home, and to love them unconditionally.
We’d love to talk you. If you would like to contact us, please call or text Lifetime at 1.800.923.6784.

| More About Our Family | ||
| Our Thoughts On Adoption | We enter into this journey with open hearts and open minds, committed to being the best parents possible for any child who comes into our family. We live our lives guided by faith, positivity, acceptance and love - all things we would love to share with your child. We believe adoption is something very special and so much bigger than us, that it's part of God’s plan to grow our family. To us, adoption comes out of love and it is ultimately the glue that will bind our families together. Whether our paths are meant to cross only briefly, or if this is the start of God creating a lifelong family bond, please know that we are praying for you and sending so much love your way. Should you choose us to parent your child, we will do our best to honor your wishes and provide the future you have imagined for this child. | |
| Our Faith and Values | We both place a high value on our faith and intend to raise our child in church. We believe that it is important to keep God at the center of our marriage, and we will be intentional about surrounding our children with good role models and people that will encourage them to grow in their faith. We also value community, spending time with friends and family, and growing spiritually. We attend a church that nurtures community and is overflowing with young families. Bryan volunteers on the tech team and Logan is part of the care team and helps decorate the church for holidays and events. We are both involved in small groups at our church and believe the community that we have built will play a key role in supporting us throughout this journey. | |
| Our Pets | We would classify ourselves as major dog people. We love our two rescue dogs named Frannie and Klem. They are our daughter’s best friends. She loves to give them endless hugs and kisses and often includes them in her tea parties. | |
