Hello! We have built a great life together so far but we have always wanted to share our life with a child. Adoption has always been a part of our journey to grow our family. We have a loving and stable home with a lot of love to share. We are excited to see and watch our future child grow and learn. We will share our values and support throughout their life. We look forward to sharing everyday moments, such as hobbies and family vacations, and the little things, like playing board games and Friday movie nights. We're excited and ready to adopt our first child! It would be wonderful to learn more about you and the future you want for your child.

• Farmer’s markets on Saturday mornings

Josh is always thinking of others and I look forward to raising a family with him.

Our Home in Wisconsin

We live in a quiet neighborhood with a mix of young families and retired people. Some of our best memories have come from the updates we’ve made to our home in the years we’ve lived here. Our house is a three-bedroom split-level with a big backyard with a vegetable and flower garden. We’re within walking distance of the library, elementary school, and parks. Plus, we’re close to our favorite state park where we often go on weekends. The community is growing and every year the town organizes concerts and festivals to bring people together. This will be a great place to raise our family!

Our Families

We come from stable, loving families. Each of our parents have been married over 40 years! Megan comes from a small family and her parents live within 15 minutes of us. Josh’s family is larger and his parents live an hour away. He’s very close with his brothers too. Together we have 4 nieces and nephews. We enjoy lots of time with our families for special trips, dinners together, holidays, birthdays, and more. Everyone is excited to meet the child we adopt!

Our Promise

We appreciate your time to learn about us! If you decide we’re the right adoptive family for your child, we want you to know that we will always hold you in high respect and talk about you with great love. We are open to sharing an open adoption, if you wish. As parents, we will share our values and support throughout our child’s life.

We promise to:
• Provide a loving, stable, safe home to grow up in.
• Listen and be supportive as parents.
• Set healthy boundaries and raise him or her with strong values and open communication.
• Encourage your child to be confident and independent, while knowing we’re always here for them.
• Teach gratitude and life skills.
• Help our child grow in education and learn what is needed to reach for their goals or dreams.
• Be honest and open about our family’s adoption story and always willing to talk about our child’s questions about where he or she came from.
• Honor our relationship with you and share updates as your child grows up.

Thank you for considering us to become a part of your child’s journey! We’d love to talk with your or answer any questions. To connect with us, call or text Lifetime at 1.800.923.6784.

Very thoughtfully, Josh & Megan
