Dear Expectant Parent,
Hello, we are Caren and Bryan, and we thank you for taking the time to learn more about our family. Thank you for considering your choices. We are so excited to be adopting and bringing a child into our family! We hope our story will help you in making your choice. Please know that no matter what you choose, we wish you and your child all the best. We have known from early on in our relationship that we wanted to have a family. After many years of trying to conceive naturally and with medical assistance, our path of infertility has been frustrating and heartbreaking. We are beyond thrilled to be adopting and can’t wait to share our lives and love with a child. We appreciate your courage and very much look forward to getting to know you better!
I’m Bryan, Caren and I have been together since college, and we got married in 2016. Since then, I have been working as a Physical Therapist Assistant while we prepare our home to hopefully expand our little family. I can often come across as introverted, however, people are my passion. I feel as though I was put on this earth to help people, and I am privileged to fulfill that purpose through my medical career. I enjoy being outside and frequently go for runs in our neighborhood. Playing guitar is also a passion of mine. Caren and I both love to sing and have music as a major theme throughout the house.
I’m Caren! I am outgoing and energetic, although I never say “no” to watching a movie on the couch. I love to bake, be creative, and spend time with my family and friends. I work as an elementary music teacher and have been teaching since 2013. Though teaching can present struggles, my passion has always been working with children. Because I teach Kindergarten through fifth grade, I get to work with my students from the time they are 5 years old until they leave for middle school. My favorite part of my job is building relationships with my kids and their families and watching them grow into great people! I get to work with students from all walks of life. Each one of my students is unique and special in their own way, and everyday I learn from them, as well.
We both love to spend time with our two dogs, including playing in the yard, visiting with friends, and snuggling on the couch. We are very fortunate to live close to our families, with extended family not too far away! We have an incredible support system of friends and family who have helped us through numerous times of struggle and have celebrated with us during times of joy. We live in a family-oriented neighborhood with multiple excellent school systems. The medical community, which Bryan is a part of, is quite extensive and competent in our area.
Our promise to you is to love your child unconditionally and wholeheartedly. We will nurture and support your child no matter what. This child and their future will be our first and foremost priority. We want our child to grow into a loving, kind, accepting, and driven human being. Our little one is already loved by our wonderful family and friends and will be embraced with open arms. We want to make sure that our child will be proud to be adopted, and know that many, many people love them. We feel very honored to be a part of your journey and thank you for considering us.
Caren and Bryan
