Our Commitment to Adoption

Brandon and Tess at home

We've always had a close relationship with adoption. Tess' parents were foster parents for many years. Many of the children who grew up in her home church were adopted too.  Brandon has an older cousin who was adopted. The fact that he was adopted was never hidden, nor did it matter! He was just a member of our family and a playmate to Brandon.

We have been licensed as foster parents for the past few years, and have gotten to see first hand, the love and sacrifice biological parents make for their children's best interest. 

We are humbled by your strength and determination to protect and safeguard your child. We will ensure that he/she will always know you did the very best that you could for him/her, and it was out of love that you chose adoption.
