We are Lisa and Max and we are so grateful to you for taking the time to learn more about us.
We met when we were 16 years old and have been together for over 10 years. Adoption has always been our first and only choice for how to build our family. Both of our extended families have adoption experience including adoptive parents, adoptees and birth parent experiences. With the support of our families, we are lucky to have some understanding of these experiences. A child welcomed into our family will have connection with people who can say, “I’m adopted, too!”
We love being outside gardening, playing in the snow, boating, fishing and hiking. We love the mountains, which is where Max proposed and where we got married. We have a family goal of visiting all 50+ National Parks.
We picture adoption as a way of expanding our family–not just by a child–also by welcoming any birth family with hopes of having a large support system. We welcome any level of relationship you are comfortable with. We are open and honest people and would welcome any questions or communication to help build your trust in us.
