Are Hoping to Adopt a Baby
dear expectant mother
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for taking the time to get to know us. It is with gratitude and appreciation that we write to you. We are certain you are feeling many emotions at once, and we may never be able to understand what you are experiencing in this moment. Take a deep breath and know that whatever decision you make will be the right one for you and your baby. We want to express how much respect we have for you for considering adoption.
Should you choose us, your baby will be cherished. They will always be safe, loved unconditionally, and have our ongoing encouragement throughout their life.. As they grow, we will strive every day to help them understand who they are and where they came from. We will think of you and be grateful for your act of love every day forward and make sure your baby knows we are able to love them, because you loved them first. We hope you find peace in your decision. It would be an honor of a lifetime if you chose us.
All our love, Kari and Matt
About Us
Our Home & Neighborhood
Our Family & Friends
We value spending time with our families above anything else and see them as our best friends. Both of our parents live within 30 minutes of us. Matt and his twin sister are the oldest of five, with three younger sisters. All of Matt’s siblings work in healthcare and are a wealth of knowledge. Kari is the middle child of five. She has an older brother, an older sister, and two younger brothers. Three out of four of Kari’s siblings are adopted, as well as Kari.
We have one niece and two nephews we love to spend time with. They are ages 5, 6, & 8. We enjoy taking them to special events, playing around the house or going to the park. They are always the highlight of every occasion, and our family is very excited to add to the bunch!
We see our family at least once every week, usually meeting up to go to dinner, or just visit. During football season, it is tradition that we gather with Matt’s family every weekend to eat together and watch the Packers play (and hopefully win). We also look forward to going on an extended family vacation every year to visit somewhere new. Last year we went to Disney World!
