Our Story

Braden and I have been married for 4 years. We have known each other for over 10 years. We were very good friends before we started dating. And then got married.We both have bachelors degrees and are now living in Milwaukee, WI. We are here because Braden is attending Marquette University for his Masters in Nursing. We have great families who are very supportive of us and our decisions. We absolutely love animals but our landlords have never allowed pets so we have been unable to get a pet.

Dear Birth Parents,

We thank you for looking at our profile. We have been married for 4 years and trying to have a child for 3 years. We feel we could give a child the loving family they need. We have felt that something is missing and are searching for the missing piece. We are very active people and are always trying new things. We are very excited for this new chapter in our lives and feel we can share our lives with someone special. We want to take life's journey as a family and enjoy the ride!
