Hello, we are Patrick and Katie. Along with our four beautiful children, we thank you for taking the time to read a little bit more about our family and praying about joining us on our adoption journey.
Our story goes all the way back to middle school. Through middle and high school we remained best friends and grew our relationship. We were soon married 2 years after we graduated high school. We continued our journey together, pursuing our dreams and supporting each other every step of the way through the high and low moments of being young and married. We could not imagine our lives without each other and our children. We are so grateful for the growth in our journey through life and ministry.
We have walked the journey of adoption many times in our family. Katie’s sister was a transracial adoption, our son, Zander, was adopted at birth, and Patrick was adopted by his stepdad as a child. Adoption is near and dear to the family as a whole.
We have the joy again to start a new adoption story in our family. Everyone is beyond excited for a new addition to the family, and adding to our family through adoption makes it a little extra special to us all.
Would you pray about partnering with us on our journey? We can not do this without the help and support of others.
“For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not
to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future” - Jeremiah 29:11
“Trust in the Lord with all your heart; and do not depend on your own understanding. Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take.” - Proverb 3:5-6
We are trusting in the Lord for the plan and future of our family. We are 100% committed to caring for another child in our home the same way we care for our children.
Thank you for partnering with us on our journey.
