A Note to Birth Families

Dear Birth Family,

Hello and welcome to my website. I am humbled that you would take some time to learn about me and consider me as a parent to your child through infant adoption. I promise to love your child and raise them in a happy and loving household. Kindness and respect are key values I will teach. I will encourage and support your child to find passion in school and activities. I recognize and respect your feelings during your journey. I support open adoption and would love to work together to create a plan that is comfortable for all of us. Thank you again for getting to know me. I would like to get to know you, too.

About Me

My Story

I am ready to expand my family through adoption! I'm currently home-study approved in MN for infants 0-18 months old and support open adoption.

I have a Masters degree and work in the medical science field. I love learning new processes and technologies.

I cannot wait to share my life with a child and provide a loving home and opportunities for fun!

I enjoy nature, music, books and spending time at the family cabin.

I describe myself as: kind, caring, down-to-earth, loving, nurturing and responsible

Others describe me as: reliable, intelligent, curious, responsible, resourceful and willing to take on a challenge

Neighborhood

I live in a Southern suburb of the Twin Cities. This park is 2 blocks from my home. There are many trails, parks and sporting fields within walking distance.

Traditions

My favorite holiday is Christmas! I enjoy spending time with extended family and sharing our famous appetizer meal. Decorating and wrapping presents are my favorite.

Thanksgiving is a close second with grilled turkey as a main dish.

Faith

I believe in a loving and caring God. I will raise my child to learn about God's love. Fellowship after the service is important to me and good practice to talk to people of all ages.

The Cabin

Home away from home

Reading

Kitty Cuddles

I love reading and being transported to another place. I will definitely have daily storytime with my child.

There's nothing like snuggling with a blanket, kitty or little human. I plan to cuddle up with my future kiddo while reading, watching a movie or catching up after school.

Traveling

The arboretum is fun in all 4 seasons! I have a membership and make it out there every few weeks. They have a fun maze and classes for kids. The Winter Lights display is a fun family winter activity.
