We are Dylan and Kayla from Wisconsin

Dear Expectant Mother,

Thank you for taking the time to get to know us better.  We are so excited to share our story with you. We cannot begin to imagine what an incredibly difficult decision you have ahead of you, and we are very grateful that you are considering us. Please know that you are strong, brave, and selfless.

We will be here every step of the way to support you through this journey. Relationships are incredibly important to us. We want your baby to know who you are and where they came from. We will share photos and stories with you so you can see how they are growing and thriving. We will talk about you with respect and admiration. We want to maintain an ongoing positive connection and will only share as much as you feel comfortable with. We feel incredibly honored that you have taken the time to get to know us better and consider us to raise your child. If given the chance, we promise to love your child unconditionally.

Our story begins twelve years ago on a hot summer day in the backyard of Kayla’s house that she shared with her college roommates. Dylan was visiting his friends from high school, who just happened to be Kayla’s roommates. We instantly hit it off and spent hours talking on the phone getting to know each other during the week and many weekends driving back and forth to see each other since we went to different colleges about three hours apart. We spent the early part of our relationship focusing on our careers, traveling, and spending time together.

We have been married for six years and live in a beautiful home in what we like to call a small-town city. Kayla is a Registered Nurse and works as a Nurse Case Manager in an inpatient hospital setting. Dylan is a Civil Engineer and part-owner of his firm, where he designs and builds roads. He works on the job site in the summer and can work from home while designing during the winter and spring months.

We love Wisconsin for its many seasons and can't wait to introduce your child to all the fun activities each season brings. We will enjoy long summer days on the lake, fishing and boating, biking to get ice cream, and watching horse races at the fair. In the winter months, we will take your child sledding and teach them how to ski or snowboard which we both enjoy doing. Fall is our favorite season filled with apple orchards, pumpkin patches, hiking, and Badger football games. During all seasons of the year, we will cook and bake together, read stories and have family movie nights. Life will be filled with weekend trips to their grandparents’ homes and amazing memories will be made playing with their cousins. We will teach them to appreciate the beauty of nature and immerse them in cultural experiences. We will celebrate their achievements and we will teach them to learn from challenges that they face. We will provide them with endless opportunities.

We have dreamed of starting a family for so many years and feel drawn to adoption as our way of becoming parents. We will provide a stable and loving environment. We will make sure your child feels protected and supported every day of their life. We will show them the world and encourage them to find their passion. We feel incredibly honored that you have taken the time to get to know us better and consider us to raise your child. If given the chance, we promise to love your child unconditionally and wholeheartedly.
