Since meeting in veterinary school nine years ago, our relationship grew from a friendship into a loving relationship. Mac is from Connecticut and Adam grew up in North Carolina, giving us a blend of Northeast culture and Southern charm. Both of us are outgoing and share the same passion for life. We both come from caring families who are all excited to watch us become parents. We have started a small farm here in Colorado, raising chickens, goats, and horses. We are both veterinarians who work for a university, allowing us to instill a love of learning and curiosity in students. We love to explore the natural beauty of Colorado through biking, hiking, and skiing. Now, we are ready to share these passions with a child and help them discover their own.

We are fortunate to come from close-knit and supportive families. Mac has two devoted parents, three siblings, and two loving nephews. Adam has an amazing mom, stepdad, stepbrother, and cousin who enjoy adventuring with us on our camping and cross-country road trips.

Our families have provided nurturing homes and taught us the value of love and upholding tradition. We enjoy taking trips to see them and always spend the major holidays together. Thanksgiving and Christmas are staples for bringing everyone together. Every Christmas, we have a gingerbread house decorating contest, and the winner gets a surprise present, often a funny one. In Colorado, we have immediate family close by, which includes Mac's mom and sister, allowing for weekly family dinners.

In the past year and a half, we have been incredibly fortunate to welcome our adopted daughter, Arden, into our family—a journey that has brought us more love than we ever imagined. Becoming parents through adoption has been one of the greatest blessings of our lives. This amazing experience has deepened our commitment to growing our family and inspired us to give Arden the gift of a sibling to share in the same love, laughter, and connection that we hold so dear.

We live in a charming home in Colorado with a hobby farm and views of the Rocky Mountains. Our community has a small-town feel, with numerous family-focused farms and activities in the area. As mentioned in our "Our Lifestyle" section, we have several different animals on our farm, and we are excited to nurture a child's love and respect for our animals. Our two dogs, Luna and Tootsie, have always been gentle with children they have met, and they love playing with them. This gives us peace of mind that they would welcome a baby into the household. We cannot wait to share Colorado with our future child and watch them grow and experience the joys of farm life surrounded by family.

Adoption has always been a meaningful part of our lives. Adam was adopted as a child and understands firsthand the questions and emotions that can come with that journey. Mac has three adopted siblings and grew up seeing adoption as a natural and beautiful way to build a family.

In 2023, we were lucky to adopt our daughter, Arden. Her adoption is open, and through that experience, we've come to deeply value the connection we share with her birth mom. That relationship has brought richness and perspective to our lives. We feel incredibly fortunate in our adoption journey so far and are hopeful and excited to grow our family again through adoption—offering love, stability, and lifelong connection to another child and their birth family.
