Who We Are?

We are Paul and Roy. We were both born and currently still reside in Minnesota. We met through a dating website. We had an instant connection on our first date. We often say it was love at first sight. We spent the entire time talking and getting to know one another. We have been together for 10 years. Paul carved, “Will You Marry Me?” into a pumpkin on Halloween. Roy of course said. “Yes!” We got married in our favorite spot from our third date, a conservatory for flowers in the local zoo. We have been married for 7 ½ years.

Paul works as a manager in Healthcare and Roy is a Pressman in his longtime passion of printing. Our daughter is three years old. She loves horses, building blocks, all sorts of Disney (Rapunzel, Moana, Frozen, plus more), painting and her dolls. She is adopted and is excited to become a big sister herself. We enjoy movies, going to the zoo, going to museums, dinners with family or friends, game nights, biking, hiking, and doing things as a family. We go to church regularly every week as a family. We have enjoyed vacationing in Seattle. We also like to make trips to Roy’s family dairy farm where our daughter can say visit and interact with several types of animals (not just cows).

We are very loving and enjoy our family time together. We both have large families. Paul has 3 brothers and 4 sisters. Roy has 5 brothers and 1 sister. Both of our families are very supportive and have been involved in raising our daughter Saige. Both families enjoy gatherings and staying connected with one another. We often find ourselves at a minimum doing a weekly touch base with both sides of our families.

Why Are We Adopting?

We have always wanted to have a family. When we first met we talked about how we would want to create our family through adoption. Our 3-year-old daughter is a blessing for our family and we love every moment with her. We know the process is overwhelming at times, but it can be amazing and wonderful. As we watch our daughter grow up, we know that we would love to see her grow up with a sibling. Adoption for us was the way to go. Our daughter often asks when she can have a sibling as she is ready to be a big sister. We always knew we would want to have more children some day. We know that we have plenty of love in our family and we want to share it. We want to grow our family with an additional child to our amazing family.
