Hello! We are Scott and Suzie. We are so excited and thankful that you have taken a moment to look at our profile and consider us as potential adoptive parents.
We met in 1996 when we were both young members of our university marching band. We both had a love and spirit for music and athletics and were excited to be a part of something bigger at our university. While we were friends, we did not date and eventually lost touch as we moved on in life.
Our love story began in 2011 when we reconnected on social media. After messaging back and forth for a few weeks, we met for lunch to just spend more time catching up and reminiscing. We met for lunch at noon and enjoyed ourselves so much that we were surprised when the waitstaff returned at 5pm with dinner menus! We were basically inseparable from that point on and after dating for a year and a half Scott proposed and Suzie happily said YES!
We were married in June of 2013 at a local museum. We both have a love for learning and appreciate all that this museum has to offer every time we visit.
After several years of trying to grow our family, we looked into adoption. Our careers have given us the opportunity to meet with children and families who have gone through the adoption process and after listening to their stories, we knew it was our path. Our families and friends have been super supportive and we can’t wait to introduce them to our newest member of the family!
Scott grew up an only child, but you would never suspect that from the way that he connects with others and forms such amazing relationships. Scott decided to become a teacher when he was in college and in my opinion he is one of the best teachers I have ever known!
One of the things that really attracted me to him was how he dedicated so much of his time and talents to bringing out the best in others. As a teacher, he goes the extra mile for his students. He got involved in extracurricular activities trying to help each student find their niche in life. He cultivated relationships which went beyond the classroom, helping students and families have an amazing learning experience. These relationships have continued to blossom even as the years pass and he stays in touch with many of his former students.
Scott makes you believe that you are capable of doing anything that you set your mind to. He encourages you to make your way in life and to try things which may seem impossible. This belief inspires confidence in others and shows what a tremendous leader he is.
Scott is loving, caring, selfless and supportive. He is ambitious to continue learning, loves to try new things and gives himself wholeheartedly. He will be a child’s biggest cheerleader and will always look to inspire them so that they can live life to the fullest and be the best version of themselves.
Suzie grew up in a loving household with wonderful, hard working parents, and two siblings. She is the oldest of three and is wise beyond her years. She is kind, honest, supportive, and always looking out for the best interest of her family. Family is one of the most important things to her. Family is what defines her overall and gives her a sense of joy and purpose in the world. She is a relationship builder and caregiver at heart. She enjoys making the lives of others around her a better place.
This is evident in her ability to work with kids in her roles as a substitute teacher and secretary at our local middle school. She is always there for her family and is prepared to make things happen to better other’s lives as a whole. She believes in the power of a strong family.
She also loves to travel and explore the world around her. She has been all over Europe and the United States and enjoys seeing what else the world has to offer, so that she can bring those experiences back to her family and help make her life and the lives of others better.
Suzie is supportive, caring, and loving. She is willing to go the extra mile to make life better. She will be a great mother and will help guide a child through life while allowing them to spread their wings and grow and learn as a person.
