Hello, we are Chris & Kelly. As you look through these profiles, we acknowledge the significance of the situation you are in, and the challenges before you. The fact that you’re taking time to research your options shows that within you there is great love for your child.

Here’s a little bit about us. We’ve been together since we were teenagers, having met at our church youth group, and were married at a young age. We went to college together and currently work together so we know each other very well! We’ve spent our careers focused on mentoring youth and training young leaders. For 8 years, we lived in Eastern Europe organizing English language camps for teenagers and enjoying lots of adventures. Having since relocated back to the States, we both still work for that same Christian organization in the area of partner relations. It’s a privilege that we get to work together, to work from home, and to work for a cause that makes a real impact in people’s lives. We have some incredible family, friends and community all over the U.S. and Europe surrounding us as we expand our family through adoption.

Since we haven’t been able to have kids of our own due to infertility, we’re choosing adoption as a way to expand our family and honor the precious life of a baby. We are open to figuring out how to best make an open adoption work for you, the child, and us. With a strong foundation of marriage, faith, family, and friends, we are ready. We make a great team and look forward to the next chapter in our story.

Thanks for taking time to get to know us. As you consider your options, we wish you peace in whatever decision you make. Should you choose to place your child for adoption, we hope it will be very clear to you who the right parents are for your child. If you’re interested in getting to know us more, we would be happy to share more of our story and we look forward to hearing some of yours, too.

May you never lose hold of hope.

Chris & Kelly
