all about us

We are very excited to share that we are growing our family once again through adoption. After welcoming our daughter Tippi home from Bulgaria in 2022 we felt like our family was complete and focused on life as a family of five. It has been a rollercoaster of ups and downs over the last 3.5 years, but nothing compares to the privilege of being chosen as the family who gets to watch Tippi blossom and thrive. Despite feeling done growing our family, our hearts were still with the children waiting for families so we focused on advocacy instead. When we saw our little girl’s profile something shifted and we knew, just like we did with Tippi, that we were looking at our daughter. We are in awe of her resilience, strengths and abilities after a hard start to life, and are ready to give her a life full of love, opportunity, and the best medical care.

We are so grateful for your support and love, and hope you’ll follow along on our adoption journey to bring our daughter home.

This is N I N E !!! May we all walk through life with the exuberance of our Atlas Wolf. He imagines big, loves hard, empathizes greatly, and has an inextinguishable light. His energy is palpable and we’re the lucky ones to be able to share it.
We decided to make the most of a warmer week and celebrate our boys’ birthdays by finishing a couple of our own play space projects. ⬖ The zipline was reinstated and @tommyshef whipped up a fun little platform for it (front rails still to come)
