Spotlight Saturday - Wes & Kara

Please take a moment to get to know Wes and Kara, and their boys, Brandon, Spencer, Tyler, and Justin,
a wonderful family in Utah hoping to adopt.
You can find out more about them and contact them by visiting their adoption blog:

We met in June of 1993 and quickly hit it off. We were married in March of 1994 and are still just as crazy about each other as we were back then! We still take time to go on weekly dates. We enjoy trying new restaurants, going on walks together, playing games, and shopping. (OK, Wes doesn't really enjoy that part, but he tolerates it.) Every year we go on a getaway together. Sometimes it's a local bed and breakfast, sometimes it's a cruise. We cherish those times together and the memories we have made.

Raising a family is hard work, but we absolutely love it! There is nothing that brings us more joy than teaching our children and watching them grow and develop. We have four boys, and they are the highlight of our life. Here's a little about each of them:

Brandon is 15 years old and is an awesome older brother. He is kind to everyone, and has endless patience with his younger siblings. He enjoys playing basketball, reading, and playing the piano. He is also a math whiz and has a photographic memory. After watching a movie just once, he can quote all the funny lines. Like a typical teenager, he is always hungry.

Spencer is 12 years old and loves sports. Basketball is his favorite, followed by baseball and football. He is blessed with lots of natural ability, and almost always has a ball in his hands! He loves math and science and is a great student. Spencer is great with little kids and all of Justin's friends adore him.

Tyler is 9 years old. He has a great imagination and is a master lego builder. He has recently developed a love of reading, and is constantly staying up way past his bedtime totally engrossed in a book. He is also an awesome soccer player. Tyler has a great sense of humor. Although he is very reserved in public, he is a total ham at home!

Justin is 6 years old. He loves cars and has an extensive matchbox collection. We find them lined up all over our house. He is very social and doesn't feel like life is complete unless he plays with a friend every day. His smile is contagious! Justin can't wait to be an older brother, and prays every day that we will find our baby sister.
