About Us

It was a college football game and a shared post-game dinner of fried chicken and macaroni and cheese that brought us together in 2005. 

There was immediate chemistry, and it was the beginning of our now 17-year long relationship!  We got married in 2014 and welcomed our now six-year-old son, Theo, in 2016.  

We are an active family that loves spending time together exploring Chicago.  We love the diverse community we have formed and the friends we have made at our local park.  We are fortunate to be surrounded by so much family in Chicago that a week rarely goes by without a visit from a grandparent or a play date with cousins.

Home Sweet Home

We currently live in a light and spacious three-bedroom and two-bathroom condo with a beautiful view of the Chicago Skyline.

We love the diverse and loving community we have formed within our building. We frequently get together with several of the other families in our building for play dates and BBQs. 

We are grateful to be near so many places for our kids to learn and explore. We live near an amazing park where made several neighborhood friends.  We also love exploring our city and frequently visit the local farmers markets, festivals, zoos and museums.

In Closing,

Thank you for taking the time to look at our profile.  We know you are faced with an incredibly difficult decision, and we wish peace in whatever you decide.  If you chose our family, your baby will know the love that you hold for them.  We recognize how important it is for a child to understand who they are and where they came from, and we promise to support them in that journey.  We also promise to partner together to find the right level of communication, if desired.

Your child will become an integral part of our family.  We promise to provide a safe and nurturing environment for your child where they will be protected by their older brother and loved by their countless grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends that cannot wait to cherish them. There is nothing that we want more for our children than for them to grow-up and thrive in an environment where they feel loved and cared for unconditionally and as they are.
