Hello! We are Laura and Kevin
We have both always wanted children and to build a family centered around love. We’re thrilled to welcome a child into our lives and our hearts through adoption.
We understand the path to this precious family is a challenging one. We honor the journey you are on and hope we get the chance to know your story and see how our stories can connect through the love we share for this precious baby. We hope you may find that our values align and that we share common dreams for your child.
It’s clear that you are acting out of love for your new baby. We would be honored to build a relationship with you and stay connected so your child has the love of all of us, but will trust and follow your lead on what feels comfortable. We are rooting for you and hoping you feel a sense of comfort when you find the right plan for your little one. We wish you peace and assurance on your journey, whatever you choose.
About
We met in college, grew up together, and grew deeper in love as we’ve experienced adulthood as a team. We’ve been together for 19 years and married for 12.
Our relationship has deepened and matured as we have supported each other through career paths, turned to each other in challenging times and loss, and celebrated each other’s achievements.
What’s remained the same is that we genuinely enjoy each other’s company and are best friends. We’re able to make each other laugh and smile. We are solid partners, and we challenge each other to be our best selves.
We are always seeking an adventure, big or small. We love living in the center of Atlanta’s Arts District, and are lucky to enjoy both spending lazy days in the park across the street with our pup, Flyer, or taking advantage of all the pop-up festivals, farmers markets, and art experiences in our neighborhood. Kevin also shared his love for soccer with Laura, and now we’re huge Atlanta United fans and never miss a game.
Service is a big part of our lives, and we volunteer together helping youth rise as leaders through the non-profit Laura started in 2008 while she was a teacher. We hope to instill a strong set of values rooted in thinking of others and making choices with love and kindness. We want our child to feel connected to their community and value volunteering and giving back.
We have a warm, loving, and fun home and life that will be complete with a child to love. Each day is an adventure, and we can’t wait to bring a little one along on the journey to explore the world through their eyes.

What does open adoption look like to us?
Open adoption means welcoming you and your child into our hearts and family. To us, it means that we would share a lifelong bond because we all want the best for your baby. We’d be so happy to have an ongoing relationship with you, but will trust and follow your lead on what feels comfortable for you. We expect that this will require us all to be vulnerable, flexible, honest, patient, and willing to put in the work to nurture this vital relationship.
Family and Friends
Our families were over the moon when we shared our plans to adopt!
We both have two siblings who are married with two children each, so there are lots of cousins to love on a little one, in addition to grandparents ready to spoil a new grandbaby!
Kevin’s family has a 70+ year tradition of gathering at our cabin in Canada each summer for days in the lake and nights around the campfire. We love canoeing, fishing, swimming, stargazing, s’mores-making, and hiking with family. His sister’s family lives near us, and their children always look forward to Atlanta United games and laser tag with their Uncle Kevin.
Laura’s family lives in Indianapolis and Texas, so we like to make holiday visits special for our nieces and nephews. Each year, the kiddos anticipate an elaborate spectacle to finally clinch their Christmas gifts. One year, our whole family went to Treasure Island, and we buried their gifts in the sand and gave them a full-fledged treasure map for them to navigate a progression of clues around town to find their loot. They’ve had to unfreeze a giant block of ice to get to their gifts, call extended family members to unlock clues, and solve all sorts of puzzles.
We try to bring intentional community-building into every environment we enter, and we hope to pass on this core value to our children.
Kevin started organizing movie nights to bring our Midtown friends and families closer, and they’re always a blast. We are blessed to have made lifelong friendships with those who share our passion for service. Our child will be surrounded by friends eager to see our family grow.
Our friends would describe us as…
Patient, creative, and joyful
Fun-loving and adventurous
Deeply empathetic, generous, and kind
Among the most loving and understanding people I have met
Can count on them to make me laugh
Believing in me when I didn’t
Thoughtful and committed to making others feel special
Our Dog, Flyer
Flyer is a rescue dog that’s brought joy to our lives for the last 12 years. He is a sweetheart who adores kids and will show our newest family member all the best spots in the park for picnics and feeding the ducks! He’s a wheaten terrier mix and has taken on the duty of greeting our neighbors with a wagging tail as they come home every day. Some of our best days are spent hiking, swimming, and exploring with Flyer!
“Let all that you do be done in love.”
Our Promise to You
Thank you for allowing us to share our story and our hearts with you.
We hope the values and priorities we shared will resonate with you and your dreams for your child. Our hearts are with you on your journey, and we welcome the opportunity to learn more about you.
Should you decide we are the right fit for you and your child, this little one will know they are blessed with love from you and us. We will nurture their confidence to be exactly who they are, value where they came from, and achieve whatever they dream. We will teach them to love with their whole heart, find strength in God, and live their faith by spreading love to others.
We’ll take every opportunity to laugh and find joy together.
