Hoping to Adopt



We are so excited that you are taking the time to get to know us a little better! We like to say our family is a miracle since we became a family of three through adoption. Our little boy, Van, was the miracle we’d spent years hoping and praying for and he has truly brought light and joy into our lives. We have been eternally blessed by his birth family. Our hearts are full with love for our son, but we also feel that someone is missing. We are now hoping and praying for another miracle.

ABOUT US

BRIAN (written by Lindsay)

Brian is truly my better half. He is patient, kind, generous, handsome and hilarious. The perfect combination! He is always doing little things to surprise me. We love spending time together and often stay up too late just talking. We love to travel and have had many great adventures together but the best by far is parenthood. Brian is an amazing father, the kind every kid should have. I often sit back and just watch as father and son laugh and play together. I have been impressed with how much he loves Van and how involved he is with every aspect of his life. I’m lucky to call him my husband.

LINDSAY (written by Brian)

Lindsay is a wonderful wife and mother. I love her completely and I consider myself lucky to have her. I am impressed with her daily – she can do anything. Lindsay is smart, beautiful, capable, and fun. She is great with our son and I can’t wait to see her as a mother of two. Being parents has brought us even closer together while bringing a new level of happiness to our lives. We have a lot of fun together and over the years we have had some incredible experiences.

VAN

Van is the sweetest, smartest little boy ever (at least we think so). We actually have many friends asking to babysit him! In typical toddler fashion he is curious about everything and is learning new things every day. He has loved books from the beginning and he often runs to snuggle on the couch and read with us. Our busy boy is always on the go and makes us laugh all day long. Every time we ask him if he wants a new baby for our family he says “Yah”! We think he is going to be a fantastic big brother!

OUR FAMILY

Having a teacher for a dad and a stay-at-home mom means Van gets a lot of family time. Summers and holiday breaks are filled with family activities. We love the outdoors and living in the Northwest provides plenty of opportunities for us to get out and have fun. We like to camp, hike, ride bikes, explore the tide pools at the coast, and go on road trips. One of our favorite places is the zoo (we have season passes), but wherever we are, we are laughing and having fun. It is so hard to describe our family in only a few paragraphs. Visit our blog at ourfamilyisamiracle.blogspot.com or if you would like to contact us we would love to tell you more and answer any questions.

ABOUT ADOPTION

We still have so much love to give and we long for another child. Our son is our entire world and we will love our next baby in the same way. We enjoy an open adoption with our son’s birthparents and we would like to have the same with our next child's birthparents. We pray every day that our family will get to experience another miracle and have a sweet new baby join our family.

With Love,

Brian, Lindsay, and Van
