We are Kody and Dana from Colorado

When we imagine a child joining our family, we picture sharing the things we already enjoy with the addition of a lot of playtime. We envision baking and making a mess together, reading bedtime stories, snuggling cats and each other, traveling, having dance parties in the living room, and playing outdoors as much as possible in the sun or snow. We are at a point in our lives where we feel very prepared and excited to welcome a child to our family.

Our story began almost 6 years ago when we met at a concert in Las Vegas. A mutual friend of ours had a plan to introduce us and, though both of us are somewhat introverted, the plan worked! We’ve been married for over 3 years now. We consider ourselves to be a kind, easy-going and funny couple. We laugh a lot and can definitely make the best of any situation. We encourage and support each other completely and feel very grateful for the love we share. We’ve talked about starting a family since our early dating days and we are ready to share our lives and love with a child.

Our home will provide a loving, safe, and creative space for your child. We’ve spent the past 2 years remodeling our home to make it just how we want it. We have a fenced-in backyard with a nice new lawn and a space for a big sandbox (or maybe a small swimming pool!). We’ll be converting one of our guest rooms to a bedroom for your child.  Dana is a designer, so she already has a lot of décor ideas and a layout planned. We’d love to incorporate your style or something you’d like to share in your baby’s room so they’ll have a part of you in their space.

Music is a huge part of our lives; it’s been Kody’s career since he was a teenager!  Our home is often filled with the sounds of records spinning, Kody creating new music in his studio… or even the more annoying sounds of us singing made-up songs to our cats.  Each year, Kody has multiple opportunities to tour and play shows all over the world with his bands. We’re very close with the other band members and their families & we’ve traveled together all over Europe and Japan.  We hope to show your baby an appreciation for other cultures and other valuable lessons to be learned from traveling abroad.

We have so many traditions we can’t wait to share with your baby.  They will be so loved by our close, big family and large group of friends who we also consider family.  We value time spent with the people we love so we are always hosting or attending dinners, celebrations, barbeques, and holidays.  We can’t wait to see your child play with all of the other children at these gatherings and start creating life-long friendships of their own.

We have immense admiration and respect for you.  We won’t pretend to know what you’re going through, but we do know that what you are doing is extremely selfless, strong, and brave.  Please know that open adoption is an option for us, but that decision is ultimately up to you.  Whatever you choose, we will ensure that your child knows how brave you are and that you put their needs ahead of yours.  They will know that they have been loved from the very beginning of their lives.  Thank you so much for considering us to be the adoptive parents of your child. Your courage will literally make our family’s dream come true.
