Hello
First, we would like to thank you for viewing our profile. We admire your courage and appreciate your consideration of adoption for your child. You can't imagine how grateful we are for you and others who give to couples who are unable to have children. Know that you are in our thoughts and prayers. Please take a few minutes to look at our profile. It is difficult to accurately and thoroughly describe who we are in a simple letter, but here is a little bit about us.
We have been married about four and a half years and have been trying to start a family for nearly the same amount of time. Brock grew up in Colorado, served a mission in San Jose California, and is now in agriculture. Kayla grew up in British Columbia as well as Colorado, earned a BA in psychology and works at home now as now a piano teacher. She is also taking a course to be a piano tuner/ technician. We have a playful relationship and try not to take each other too seriously all the time. We have strong convictions and values and would love nothing more than to be parents. We are so anxious and excited to have a family and hope you can be part of it.
Kayla's thoughts on Brock
Brock is an incredibly active person. He works extremely hard and loves to play hard as well. His hobbies include hunting, snowmobiling, 4x4ing, fishing, racing, four-wheeling, hanging out with me, our neices and nephews and with our families. Brock and I met on a blind date right after his mission. He was so much more casual than other guys I had dated, and I was drawn to his fun, playful nature. He makes me laugh everyday and will find a way to make me crack a smile even when I'm irritated at him. I think it's his dimples and big blue eyes. He is a people person and makes friends effortlessly. Consequesntly he has many friends and always looks for the best in people. His level disposition helps keep me grounded, and despite his "macho" interests, he is such a tenderheart.
Brock's thoughts on Kayla
Kayla is the star of her own little show. She is extremely intelligent, loving and hard working and loves to make me happy. She has an ear for music. She loves to dance, sing, play the guitar and piano. She teaches piano lessons and used to be the pianist in Primary so she practices all the time. She is somewhat of a perfectionist in whatever she does and likes to do everything right the first time. When we first met, something about her caught and stuck with me. She wanted everything I wanted with the same goals and values. She wanted to become a mother, raise a family and have a husband that makes her laugh.
Kayla is my light. She keeps me going and is such a sweetheart. She is my love, my honeybee, and my eternal companion.
Although we have many different interests, we support each other in our interests and talents and still love to do many things together, such as traveling, camping, four-wheeling fishing, watching movies, renovating our house (okay, we don't love this one as much as the others), and just being together and laughing at and with each other.
We both grew up in the gospel and have similar goals and views. We would love a large family. We strive to stay out of debt, especially credit card debt and we always make financal decisions together. Our vehicles are paid for and we paid off our home over a year ago. While far from wealthy, we budget and live within our means. This financial stability allows us to place our focus elsewhere such as building up our food storage, renovating our house, and doing the things we enjoy.
We also have very similar views on parenting. We feel that children need to feel loved, first and foremost, and have some boundaries set. We feel that confidence in oneself is one of the greatest traits a parent can help instill in a child. Children raised in our home will experience more love than they can imagine, clear boundaries, high goals and standards and a great deal of interaction with cousins and extended family. We live within a few miles of both of our parents and most of our siblings and their children. We spend a great deal of time with both sides of our families and Kayla about can't make it through one day without seeing her neices and nephews. Both of our families are extremely supportive of our decision to adopt and are nearly as anxious as we are to welcome a little one into our family. Any child lf ours will practically be smothered with love
We have faith that there is an amazing little person waiting for us to find them. We would love to hear from you and look forward to meeting you.
With love
Brock and Kayla
