We are excited to grow our family and
welcome your child into our Catholic family!
We’ve been happily married for more than 10
years and have a loving, stable home.
We have 4 boys and have adopted each of
them, and hope to add to our family soon!
We promise that your child will be loved, protected, and surrounded by family and friends
who will cherish him or her unconditionally.
We both knew very soon after we met that we had
found that one special person we wanted to spend
the rest of our life with.
God is the center of our marriage and life, and will
always be the center of our home and family.
Our adopted children mean the world to us! Katie
loves being a stay-at-home Mom and Dominic is
eager to get home from work each day to see the
kids.
We have a special relationship with Jacob’s birth
parents and keep in close contact with the family.
Timmy’s birth mom chose a closed adoption but
we think of her often and keep her in our prayers.
Both Michael’s and David’s birth moms receive
pictures and updates from us throughout the year.
We’d be happy to keep in contact with you, if you
wish!
Between the two of us, we have 14 siblings and 64
nieces/nephews. We are very close to our families
and get together with them frequently.
Some of the things we enjoy include spending time
About Us
with family, outdoor activities like gardening,
hiking, campfires, or going on family vacations.
About Dominic (from Katie) I am so blessed to have Dominic as my husband! He’s kind, thoughtful, and sweet (he’ll leave me little love notes around the house). He puts God first in everything he does, which is one of the many reasons I love him. He’s a great dad who’s patient and loving. It warms my heart to see him playing with the boys or teaching them something new. He’s a talented, hard worker and loves building things – like playhouses for our nieces or wooden barns and trucks for our nephews. The kids absolutely love him and flock around him whenever we get together. To quote my nephew, “Uncle Dominic is a piece of magic!” Dominic comes from a wonderful, Catholic family. He enjoys family get-togethers, hiking, building and wood-working, kayaking, boating, campfires, and spending time outdoors.
About Katie (from Dominic) Katie is the love of my life and my best friend. She is caring, compassionate, and always puts others before herself. She also has a wonderful heart full of laughter, and a joyful spirit that make life by her side truly a blessing. She is very thoughtful and kind and has a strong moral character. She’s a sweet and patient mom who takes it all in stride. She loves being a stay- at-home Mom and taking care of the kids. She’s patient and caring and makes a great Mom! Katie comes from a wonderful close-knit Catholic family filled with joy and laughter. She’s an amateur photographer and loves doing photo-shoots of kids. She enjoys family gatherings, gardening, reading, kayaking, boating, campfires, and decorating our home.

O u r Home i n Wi s con s i n We have 30 acres in the country and plan to stay here for the rest of our lives. We bought our place when we got married and spent several years remodeling, adding on, and making improvements to the house and outbuildings. We now have a beautiful, 3,400 sq. ft. home, complete with 5 bedrooms and 3 full baths.
We raise grass-fed beef cattle and have several chickens
so there are always fresh eggs on hand.
We have an orchard and vineyard, raspberries,
blackberries, blueberries, and a garden with a large
variety of vegetables.
It’s great to be able to walk around

Our Faith
We are both very fortunate to have
been brought up by good, traditional
Catholic parents. We attend Mass
every Sunday and do our best to
truly live our faith in all aspects of
our lives.
Our families are extremely important
to us. We both come from larger
families that are very close-knit.
Nearly every weekend is spent with
some of our extended family –
hiking, birthday parties, swimming,
boating, etc. We love our families
dearly and they’re all excited for us
to grow our family through
adoption.You can also read
