Hi! We are Bradley and Michelle. Thank you for taking the time to learn a little more about us. We hope this page helps you get a sense of who we are, the life we’ve built together, and the love we are excited to share with a child. We approach adoption with deep respect, open hearts, and a commitment to providing a safe, supportive, and nurturing home. It would be an honor to walk this journey together.

We met in 2017 while working for prominent hospital system (pediatric and adult) in California and three years later we were married. Like many couples during COVID, we adapted our plans and celebrated our wedding over Zoom. Since then, we’ve moved across the country, welcomed a rescue dog into our family, and shared countless travel adventures along the way. Each step has shaped who we are as a couple, made us more resilient and strengthened the life we continue to grow together.

Bradley works in a local pediatric hospital as a Director of Perioperative Services. In his free time, he enjoys woodworking, fishing at a local nature preserve, collecting and listening to vinyl records as well as watching his beloved Liverpool FC dominate the Premier League. Michelle is an Executive Assistant for a California based Health Care System. Her position affords her the opportunity to work from home full-time. In her free time, she enjoys crocheting while listening to audio books, taking the dog on walks around the neighborhood and finding other crafty ways to DIY.  Together, we enjoy traveling and make a point to coordinate trips whenever we can, especially when it means spending meaningful time with family. Our adventures have included many domestic vacations, as well as international excursions to London and Liverpool. Bradley’s immediate family is local, so we see them often, while Michelle’s family is in California and visits as frequently as possible. Both sides of our family are incredibly excited to support our adoption journey and are eager to play an active, loving role in our child’s life. 

When searching for our home, we prioritized family-friendly areas, strong school systems and outdoor attractions. We are fortunate enough to have settled in a cozy ranch within an established, safe neighborhood and well-respected school district. The neighborhood is complete with streetlight appointed sidewalks, community pool and playground. Our HOA hosts an annual easter egg hunt, turkey trot, and Christmas sleighride to bring families together throughout the year. We also fortunate have close access to a lively downtown, bike trail and many parks that we frequent on weekends.  

After several years of infertility, we decided that becoming parents didn’t have to follow any traditional path. Adoption felt like the right next step as we truly believe that families can come together in many ways. We have so much love and care to give and we cannot wait to experience life with a child.

Thank you for taking time to learn more about us and considering us in this process. If you would like to know more about us or have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out.
