Hello! We are Phil and Kaitlyn! Thank you for looking at our profile. We are excited to tell you our story and a little bit about us as prospective parents.

We met towards the end of college and quickly became inseparable. Our personalities are exact opposites, but for us, it works. We have always brought out the best in each other and have encouraged each other to be better versions of ourselves, whether that be in our personal lives or our careers.

After a little over a year of dating, we knew we were meant for each other and married in 2011. We walked into our...

Kaitlyn is incredible and has been a tremendous partner in my life, helping me to be a more balanced and thoughtful individual. She is always someone I can turn to for an intellectual conversation or some fun banter over a board game. She has introduced me to many new experiences during our time together and always pushes me to be better and achieve more.

Kaitlyn will put herself last to ensure her family has what they need, proving she is a terrific mother, spouse, and friend. She always meets Cecily where she needs her to be, whether it is high-energy playtime or just a warm...

Phillip is incredibly outgoing and friendly, which is part of what drew me to him. He helps me feel more comfortable in large crowds and gives me the courage to put myself out there. Our relationship has always been a partnership, helping around the house and the yard. I appreciate the balance this gives our lives and the lessons it teaches Cecily about a healthy relationship.

He is always willing to try new things and stretch his skills. Whether it is building a dress-up closet for Cecily, cabinets for my sewing room, or raised beds for our garden.

Phillip is a...

Cecily is extraordinarily intelligent and ornery. She always smiles at everyone she meets and lights up the room. This little kid is so excited to have a sibling and will be an amazing big sister.

At five years old, she loves anything to do with mermaids, fairies, or unicorns. She is a fantastic helper and wants to be involved in everything we do. She enjoys helping Daddy cook dinner or helping Mommy in the garden.

Cecily enjoys her busy schedule, taking dance, gymnastics, and swimming classes and adding soccer in the spring.

She loves fish! Cecily's...

In 2017, we were out for a drive, stumbled upon a wooded lot, and immediately fell in love with the property and the town. We moved into our home in 2020, and the kitchen quickly became the heart, where all our family and friends love to gather. We have found this house to be a perfect match for our personalities and how we live our lives.

Cecily loves being outside, exploring the woods, and playing on the swing set. She enjoys helping us around the property, driving her tractor, gardening, and "raking" up leaves. Kaitlyn's favorite thing about our home is all the wildlife that...

Our families have been essential pillars in our lives. Our parents were our coaches, our troop leaders, and our mentors. They taught us everything we know, from sewing to fixing engines and everything in between. Our siblings are some of our best friends, and we love visiting each other. Our families are filled with love, kindness, and fun times.

We live fairly close to our parents, and while our siblings have all moved away to different cities or states, we still see them often. We love to get together for shopping trips, cookouts, swimming in the pond, or celebrating fantastic...

We love taking full advantage of our weekends by keeping busy. Our favorite things are going to the park, playing mini-golf, or getting ice cream or coffee at the local shops. There is a children's museum and zoo close to our home. We love visiting them and learning new things every time we go!

Sometimes we prefer to stay in with a puzzle or board games. Family movie night is becoming a Friday night staple in our house. We love sharing the movies that were favorites from our childhood with Cecily, and she loves the quality time.

For vacations, we go skiing in the...

Thank you for looking at our profile and learning more about our family and us. You, indeed, are strong, courageous, and loving. We hope you better understand who we are, how we live our lives, and what we have to offer. We have always dreamed of having multiple children, and we can't wait to welcome a little one into our family. For us, it is not essential how our family grows; what is important is being able to share the love and laughter we have with others.

If chosen as adoptive parents, we promise to provide a loving and nurturing home filled with respect, appreciation,...
