Dear Expecting Parents,

First of all, we’re honored that you’re taking the time to learn about our family. As single young adults, Colton and I both hoped to adopt at some point in our lives.

We’re Colton and Carly. Colton works in Economic Development. Carly works in Family Ministry at our home church part-time while staying home part time to raise our boys. Kyrie is our 5-year-old who we have the joy of co-parenting with his mama. He came into our lives when he was just 6 months old. Kyrie is smart, athletic, and always up for a game of Uno. Myers is our 3-year-old biological son who is adventurous, hilarious, and snuggly. We have a boxer named Crosby. He is the absolute BEST family dog. A few of our favorite family activities are nighttime neighborhood scooter rides, and many many games of Uno. 

Along with fun, our family is all about having a “strong body and kind heart,” which is our family motto. Our strong bodies and kind hearts are excited beyond measure at the idea of adding another little one to the mix. We look forward to the vacations, holidays, recitals, and games. We look forward to all of the new traditions and family time spent together.

We want you to know that we’re open to any level of relationship you would like. We’re all for sharing updates, exchanging letters, and ensuring your child knows how loved and cherished they are by you. We want to honor their story every chance we get. Thank you again for considering us. We admire your strength, love, and courage. We’re here with open arms, ready for whatever the future holds.

With love, excitement, a little bit of silliness, and many games of Uno,

Colton + Carly
