Hi! We're Wes and Kristina

Thank you for taking the time to learn about our family as you create an adoption plan for your child. Not becoming parents ever occurred to either one of us since early on in our relationship we have talked about having children. However, due to unexplained infertility we have not been able to become parents on our own. Today, we are thrilled to move forward with our dream of building a family by adopting. We both have dreamed about being parents for some time now. We are humbled by the weight of your decision, and pray that you find comfort and peace in the choices ahead, whatever your decision may be.We hope that this profile will give you a sense of who we are. We have a lot of love to give and hope that you may consider our family for your precious child.

How We Met - By Wes

Kris and I have a great story. We actually followed each other unintentionally for years before we started dating. We attended the same church youth group in high school and actually worked at the same McDonalds (We think Kris actually took my position when I left for college). We went to the same University and actually lived in the same apartment complex, on the same street! Kris remembers seeing me one day as I took out the > recycling. We both knew who the other person was, but we never officially met. I graduated and found a job as a physical therapist at the hospital in our hometown. Kris also returned home to finish her degree in elementary education. She picked up a part time job at the same hospital. We ran into each other multiple times. One day she was eating lunch in the cafeteria with her mom (who also worked at the hospital). I said “Hi” to them in passing. Her mom just happened to be friends with my boss’s wife. After hearing about Kris through the grapevine (i.e. mom), we became friends. Our first actual get together occurred at church, and our relationship continues to grow in that same church today. We truly believe we are a “match made in heaven.” We have been married for five years now and this adoption journey as helped us to grow stronger as a family. >

Friends and Family

God has blessed us with wonderfully supportive friends and family. Both Wes and I come from large families. We love to get together with the family to hang out whether it's for a holiday gathering, a camping trip, or for a round of Rock Band! We have three neices who we just adore and our Moms and Dads can't wait for more grandchildren! We don’t think it is a coincidence that God has placed friends and family in our life who have been touched by adoption in some way. Two couples in our church small group have adopted and Kris has an aunt, and another aunt and uncle who have adopted as well. Recently, one of her good friends brought her newly adopted baby girl home from the hospital. She also has a friend who is a birth mother. They will truly be a blessing to us as we move through this adoption journey and in years to come as parents of adopted children.

In Closing...

We hope that through this profile we have answered some of your questions, and that you have gotten a good feel for who we are and what we believe and value. We are, of course, happy to answer any questions that you may have and would like a chance to get to know you a bit. This decision is probably the most important and the most difficult thing in your life. We really don’t know why you would choose a specific couple but we hope you may feel we are right for you and your child. We promise to take care of this child and make sure he or she knows how much they were loved; both by you and by us. We promise to do everything in our power to give him or her a happy, balanced childhood so that when they look back they will know that God put him or her here for a reason. We hope you choose us, but more importantly, we hope you choose what you know is right for you and your child. We hope you are at peace with your decision.
