Dear Birthmom
Dear Birthmom
We are so grateful and excited that you want to learn more about our family! After facing infertility, our hearts turned to adoption, and now we are once again hoping to adopt. Our love has grown with each child welcomed into our family, and we know it will continue to do so. We promise to provide a home filled with love, laughter, and happiness—a place where Christian values are taught alongside adventure and learning. We couldn’t be more excited to grow our little family.
Our lives have been richly blessed by adoption through our two sweet boys. With that blessing comes the understanding that adoption is both beautiful and bittersweet. We’ve seen firsthand, through their birth moms, the courage and strength it takes, as well as the reality of loss. We love and are forever grateful for their birth moms, just as we would be for you if you chose us to parent your child. We pray for you as you navigate this important and difficult decision and are truly honored that you are considering us to love and care for your child.

Our Extended Family
Keyan comes from a very large family—four sisters and five brothers—most of whom live within minutes or just a few hours of us. With such a big family comes many nieces and nephews—32 and counting! We love getting together often for family meals, sporting events, holidays, reunions, and the occasional game night.
Kelli has three sisters and one brother. While they don’t live nearby, we always feel their love and support when we’re able to gather for special events, and we cherish the times they come to visit.
We knew our families would love the babies who joined our family, but the amount of love and support we’ve received has been beyond anything we imagined. Our boys are adored, and everyone is always excited to welcome a new baby into the family!

Our Home
Our home is a charming yellow-brick house in the country, sitting on 10 acres of land in a small Texas town. This is where Keyan was raised, so neighbors are more like extended family, and we know there is always someone looking out for us. We’re just a few miles from the library, schools, grocery store, pool, and park—close enough for convenience, but far enough to enjoy the peace of country living.
We share our home with our family-friendly dog, Sammy. Sammy is the sweetest dog—she doesn’t mind being hugged or tugged on and loves to play ball. She is a great companion and a beloved part of our family.

Our Journey to Adoption
We met while country swing dancing in college. Introduced by mutual friends, it didn’t take us long to connect in a true love-at-first-sight kind of way. From the start, we were our authentic selves—making each other laugh, talking up a storm, and feeling as though we had known each other our whole lives. We are truly best friends and share many of the same hobbies, like watching movies and going on family vacations.
It has been such a joy to grow and strengthen our relationship as we’ve become parents. Keyan is the fun dad—always ready to play and wrestle—but is just as quick to meet the boys’ needs. Kelli spends most days with the boys, loving the simple moments, whether at the park or playing at home. Being parents fills us with love and joy, and we couldn’t be more united in choosing adoption again to grow our family. We are a great team and love doing life side-by-side.
