A Window into Our Lives

We are a family-focused, fun-loving couple with a strong marriage built on deep friendship. Our foundation is built 
on God, and strong, open communication. We love building community with friends and family, particularly when we can host (Tam), cook (Ryan) and fill the house with laughter. We both work in creative fields, so we bring that into our home as with dedicated time for artistic pursuits. We’ve recently been bitten with the travel bug, so we’re always looking for a chance to try new things in new places.

We have a strong desire to continue building our family and share our lives and our love with a child through adoption. Get to know us a little more and why we’re hoping to adopt.
