My Biography

My wife and I dealt with infertility for many years in our long journey to start a family. I’ll never forget what it’s like to have an empty home when you don’t want one. After we decided to adopt, we knew pretty quickly that we wanted to adopt a newborn so we chose domestic infant adoption.

Like many adoptive couples, we started out totally overwhelmed with all of the adoption information that is out there.

After much research, we found Lifetime Adoption Center, who has helped us on both adoptions and they have been great! You can still check out our Adoption Profile Page that includes a profile video.  

Now that we’ve been blessed with two very successful adoptions – I want to HELP YOU.
