After a lot of waiting, hoping, and praying, we have some wonderful news to share. We have been matched with two incredible children—a 5-year-old boy and a 3-year-old girl—and are beginning the next phase of our adoption journey to bring them home.

For those who may not know, adoption has been on our hearts for quite some time. As parents of three amazing boys, we have always felt called to open our home and family to children who needed one. Over the past year, that calling led us through home studies, training, mountains of paperwork, and more waiting than we ever imagined. Through every step, we have been reminded that adoption is ultimately about providing love, stability, and a sense of belonging.

Now, for the first time, this journey feels very real. We find ourselves dreaming about the simple things—family dinners around a crowded table, beach days in Hawaii, bedtime stories, holiday traditions, and watching new sibling relationships grow. We know there will be challenges, transitions, and opportunities for healing, but we are committed to walking alongside these children with patience, grace, and unconditional love.

There is still work ahead before everything is finalized, but we wanted to share this exciting milestone with the people who have encouraged, prayed for, and supported us along the way. We are incredibly grateful for every person who has been part of this journey and look forward to sharing more updates as we continue moving toward the day we can officially welcome these two precious children home. ❤️
