Hello, we're Brad and Dee, and these are our two children, Kayla and Zachary. Thanks for taking time to get to know us. We are really excited about expanding our family through adoption and providing a child with a safe, loving and happy home.

We met in a non-traditional fashion via a dating website. Our first conversation lasted hours. We knew that we had an instant connection. During our first summer together, we ventured to New Hampshire to do some camping in the White Mountains.

Hi, my name is Debbie. I am very excited to have the opportunity to tell you a little about myself and the loving home I will provide a baby. I am really looking forward to starting a family of my own through adoption.

I am the third of four children. I had a happy childhood with many memories. One of the fondest was when my younger sister and I went outside to build a snowman. We made a huge snowball in the backyard and wanted to move it to the front. My brother and his friends helped us move the snowball.
