About Us

We have enjoyed life as a couple for nearly 18 years and we take pleasure in the little things in life. Music is a big part of our lives, and our family theme song, ever since our son Xander was in the NICU, has been Louis Armstrong's "What a Wonderful World." We look forward to adding to our family, and exploring all the wondering moments that life has to offer together.

Our Home

We moved into a beautiful new three story home last year, in a quiet neighborhood (we can see the lake from our backyard.) Our house has five bedrooms and four bathrooms, plus a deck and patio. We have a friendly black lab mix named Sapphire (Saphie for short) who is wonderful with kids and loves to run, cuddle and kiss.

Our Extended Family

Julie's parents and Devon's mother and siblings are excited about our decision to add another child to our family through adoption.

What We Value in Raising a Child

We embrace all perspectives, lifestyles and cultures, and encourage our child to have a strong sense of self and to seek the good in everyone.

What Led Us to Adoption

We tried for nine years to get pregnant, but were unable, so we turned to adoption as our only hope of growing our family. We adore our son and we feel very thankful to his birthmother for her courage in making the choice to entrust him to us.

Our Lifestyle

We enjoy travel, live music, football, spending family time together, exploring new foods, and making our own family traditions.

Cultural Diversity

As an interracial family, we feel our experiences have prepared us to accept a child of any background and to help them learn to identify and address any issues that racism may present. We live near a racially-diverse metro area and look forward to learning and embracing our new child's heritage and incorporating it into our family life.

What We Will Tell Your Children About You

We would love for the next child we adopt to be able to enjoy the benefits of open adoption if the birthparents are comfortable with this so that they have direct access to answers to any questions they may have. But we'll respect the birthparents' wishes, and will always raise our children to know their birthparents are good people who made a difficult decision out of love for their baby.

Our Promise to You

We are people of our word and we promise to honor you and your willingness to have communication (or not, as you prefer) The child we adopt will always know of your love for them, the sacrifices you have made, and how proud we are to be family with you.
