We are so excited to be meeting you (via profile, of course). Thank you for considering this incredible journey. You are facing a profound decision, and we see the depth of your love and bravery. As you read this profile, know that it was created with love, hope, and a desire to share our hearts with you. Through these pictures and stories, we hope you get a glimpse into who we are and the love we have to offer!

It was the start of our junior year in college when I (Reid) went over to my friend from high school’s house to take her and two of her roommates to a party. When I was there, I met their mysterious fourth roommate. Her name was Kate. She claims I talked a lot… As I walked out of the house, I said to my friend, “I’m going to date that girl!” The next week, we were on our first date. She quickly became my best friend, and I proposed 1 year later. Shortly after college, we tied the knot and started our life together with no money in the bank account, but a lot of love! Kate signed on to be a military wife, and we’ve moved to places across the country we thought we’d never go. Together, we have weathered deployments, crafted communities with deep friendships, endured infertility, and built a marriage that relies on laughter, love, and a deep sense of selfless sacrifice. Eight years later, our story is far from over. We can’t wait to start our family, settle near our loved ones, and provide a loving upbringing like we were so grateful to have.

When we first got married, we knew we wanted to become adoptive parents. But honestly, we expected adoption to come a little later in our story, after we’d learned a thing or two about parenting. However, God had a different path for us. Though we’ve had our own infertility journey, we are so committed to the idea of being parents. We can’t wait to pour out our time, energy, and love in raising another human being. We both firmly believe God has lovingly adopted us into His family, and it’s only fitting that we replicate that act by adopting our own children.

Our greatest promise is to love this child unconditionally. They will grow up in a home filled with love, joy, and laughter. We want to offer them every opportunity to seek out their passions, explore the world, and always have a home to return to.

We also want to honor their identity by explaining the process of adoption and who you are in their story. You will always be spoken about with respect, love, and gratitude. You are an important part of their story, and we promise to share that with them as they grow.

Above all, we promise that your child will always know the depth of your love, our love, and God’s love for them.
