About Us

     We met in 2004 but did not start dating until two years later in 2006. We purchased our first home in 2008
     and were married in 2009. We just recently celebrated our 11-year wedding anniversary. Chris restores wildlife
     habitats with a passion for conservation and bioenergy and Beth has worked in higher education for 18 years at
     multiple Universities.

     We are animal lovers and have had several dogs and one cat over the years. We currently have 3 overly sweet,
     cuddly dogs. Thor is a Catahoula Leopard Dog, Eli is a German Short Haired Pointer and Griffin is a mutt/
     hound mix. All three of them are great with children and enjoy being outside and playing in the woods on our
     property.

     Each year on or around our anniversary we take a trip together. We have been to the mountains and the beach
     in many different states. We prefer the mountains, but we have recently fallen in love with traveling abroad. We
     also go to a pumpkin patch each year and pick out a pumpkin together.

     When we are not traveling, we enjoy spending time with family and friends. We throw an annual Thanksgiving
     party each year, as well as cook outs and bon fires throughout the year. We spend time maintaining our 5 acres
     of property.

our Family
Chris’ parents have been married for over 35 years and have two
children. Chris is the oldest and has one brother. His brother
currently lives with us and works with Chris. Chris’ parents live
close by and we see each other frequently.

Beth’s sister, her fiancé and son are currently living with her
mother. They live a few hours away so we video chat almost daily
so we can stay involved in my nephew’s life seeing that he is only
a few months old. Beth’s dad and stepmom also live close by.                              Beth with her sister and dad

Our blended families are excited about our
adoption journey and cannot wait to help
us welcome a new family member. We are
grateful to have caring parents and siblings in
our lives.

our Home
                            We have been in our home now for almost 3 years. It is a
                           farm style ranch home with 3 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms
                            and a full basement with a built in wood burning fireplace.
                             We are out in the country with just under 5 acres of land
                            which is partially wooded. We have a full basement. You
                           will often find us outside doing something in the yard. Beth
                              is usually planting flowers and gardening, while Chris is
                           mowing the grass and trimming trees. We are both always
                           playing with the dogs, we have all the space in the world to
                                                      play fetch.

                                     why Adoption?
                                     No matter how a family is created it is beautiful. Adoption is how we feel our
                                     family should be built. We both have always had a strong desire to be parents
                                     and create family traditions that can be passed down. We have some infertility
                                     issues as well as some health issues that would make pregnancy potentially
                                     dangerous for both a child and Beth. We feel that adoption is the right path
                                     for us.

                                                                                                     Building Blocks
                                                                                                      Adoption Service
                                                                                                      Inc.
