Hello! We are Ryan and Stephanie. We appreciate you taking the time to look at our profile. We acknowledge that you are likely in the midst of a very confusing and difficult journey and we honor your courage and strength as you move forward. We want you to know that we have already begun praying for you and your baby.

We got married in 2016 and built our home in the suburbs of Cincinnati on a street with lots of kids and wonderful neighbors (including Stephanie’s parents and siblings).

Ryan works as a financial advisor and loves helping families organize their finances and reach their goals. He is also the author of One Step Closer: How a Life-Altering Accident Led Me to Everything I Almost Missed, a memoir in which he recounts the journey following a car accident he sustained in college. Stephanie is a homemaker and elementary education student. She enjoys reading, art, gardening, and cooking—and very much looks forward to sharing these hobbies with future children.

Together we love watching sports (especially the Bearcats and Bengals!), spending time outside, and hosting gatherings with friends.

We have long desired to grow our family and look forward to welcoming a child into our home as a haven of joy, support, and unconditional love. We deeply value compassion, humility, persistence, hard work, and living for a purpose beyond ourselves. We are very intentional about relationships and our home is always full of community and laughter. We could not be more excited to bring our own children into the mix!

Should you choose us to be your child’s parents, we would be honored to have you be a part of our lives as well. Whether through pictures and letters or face-to-face visits, we want to involve you in whatever capacity you feel most comfortable with. If you are interested in learning more about us, we would be happy to answer any questions you may have and/or meet you in person.
