![]() We are overjoyed to become parents through adoption and hope our profile begins to give you the confidence that we are the kind of parents you are seeking for your child. As best friends we enjoy the unique things about each other, making each day a special one. We are easy going, laugh a lot and have had enough life experiences to always know that there is nothing more precious than family. We could not be more grateful for simply being considered to take part in the enormous honor that is raising your child. We know that together, it is the single greatest thing we will ever do! |

We are a family of many traditions and adventures, and look forward to creating new onew with this child. Here are some of our favorites:
Birthdays are the most important holiday in our family. For a year of good luck, we smear the name on our birthday cake!
Cooking traditional Ukrainian foods with the grandparents. Keith and his Grandma make Perogies and Borsch soup.
Getting up early and watching the sunrise on New Year's Day.
Baking and decorating Christmas cookies with family and friends and hanging childhood ornaments on the Christmas tree. Angie has been doing these traditions since she was born and we've continued to carry them on in our holiday activities.
Picking pumpkins from a local pumpkin patch, carving it and roasting the seeds for a tasty snack!
You know that kind of guy that everyone likes? Guys, girls, grandparents, teachers? Yeah - that's Keith. His warm smile, contagious laugh and unassuming demeanor make him immediately likeable. A kind and considerate, down to earth guy.
What's the main thing you'd say about Keith? He's always happy and very considerate of others. Keith loves life. He has a great sense of humor. He often makes up his own dances and his own words to songs. He makes a great monkey face with accompanying monkey noises. We all roll our eyes, but we laugh. We laugh a lot.
His many friends enjoy being with him. He loves to learn, to read, to teach and to laugh.
Keith is also our rock. He is incredibly smart and successful. He works hard to provide for us and make sure we feel well loved, are safe and taken care of. To him, family is always the first priority.
Angie has a huge heart and her smile is always the bright light in the room. Her easy going and gentle style makes her an approachable and fast friend. She's always looking out for and caring for others; bringing banana bread to the elderly widow down the street or writing and sending photos to the Grandparents every month.
If there is one word to describe Angie it is balance. She is fun, spontaneous and always ready to try new things - cupcake decorating classes, paragliding, trapeze workshop - and the best part is that she encourages everyone to join her on her adventures.
Angie is also the planner and organizer of our lives. She ensures we are all where we need to be and that every last detail is covered.
Angie sees the joy and opportunity in life when others may see only the road blocks. This positive outlook goes with her at work, at home or just out on the town.
Miss Charlie Mae - chocolate lab, one year
Charlie Mae is a bundle of pure joy who loves people of all ages. Our nieces are often dressing her up to play house. She loves to give kisses and has recently completed puppy junior high. She will begin "animal assisted therapy" volunteer work in a few months. Charlie Mae can't wait to have someone to grow up with!
Mr. Bean— domestic short hair cat, 17 years
Bean was left in a basket on the doorstep of a friend's veterinarian clinic when he was just a few weeks old. He's an amazing furry companion. He spends most of his time these days snoozing on the end of the bed or soaking up the sun on the stairway.
