When it comes to time away from work, you can find us doing a range of different activities. From spending time with local friends and family at sporting events, to attending concerts that range from Brooks and Dunn to Foreigner. We also enjoy our down time binging movies, Netflix shows, and competition TV.

One of our favorite activities is hanging out on the family boat. From skiing to tubing, being on the boat is always a great time. We love to be on the lake, no matter where we travel to.

We also love to travel. We have a goal to visit every state in the USA and photograph a fun experience in each one to put on our wall. We will include our child in all of our fun adventure, and we can't wait to start a new map as we begin our adventure as a new family.

On a sunny day, you can find us outside playing bags, or doing yard work. We especially love lounging with our dogs on our deck enjoying the views from our back yard.

On a rainy day, you can find us playing board games with local family members and friends. We also love escape rooms and trivia. We love to be involved in any and all friendly competition.

Our dogs have been a very important part of our lives. We were both raised in families that encouraged having pets in the home to teach reliability, dependability, planning and organization. We also raised them with many children around and in a way that they would be ready to acclimate to children in the home environment.

Now, to introduce our two dogs:

We have a 8-year-old Australian Cattle Dog named Ginger. She was raised in pure chaos with our huge families. She loves children and is very good with people. If she knows you have her favorite treat or ball, she will be your best friend!

We also have a 6-month-old Golden Retriever x German Shepherd cross named Poppy. She is being raised alongside Ginger, and she absolutely loves kids. She wants to be everyone's friend and has no stranger danger awareness whatsoever, as long as you have a treat, she would go home with you with no questions asked!

We love our dogs, and they can't wait to have someone else to play ball with. If you choose us, you will not only gain us as a part of your family, but our loving dogs as well!

Adoption has impacted us personally in multiple ways.

Cori's dad is the 2nd oldest of four children. He and two of his siblings were adopted as infants by her fantastic grandparents. Cori grew up watching her dad thrive after being adopted by her grandparents and she hopes to forward this opportunity to another child to give them the life that her dad had. Cori also has a couple of friends who have adopted from this same agency, and they have a wonderful life with their new child as well.

Ty's grandfather was also adopted, and he became a very successful and God centered individual. He also has a cousin who adopted a child in late 2021, and they have loved every minute of their parental journey.

We hope to continue this journey with you in order to give your child every opportunity we can to help them reach their hopes and dreams.

Our home is small town Nebraska with a view of the big city. It is a very tight-knit community that is known for being very supportive to all of their residents and athletic teams. The academic standard at all three levels of schooling is one of the best in the state!

Our hometown is constantly growing and is working to improve the town, it has plans for a new lake development, splash pad, and little league fields.

We love being far enough into the country to see the stars, but close enough to enjoy all the activities the big city has to offer. We live in a beautiful tri-level home in a neighborhood with an amazing school district.

We are blocks away from the local high school. In the fall we can even hear the marching band practicing from our driveway. We have a fenced in backyard with lots of room for activities.

Our house is a meet up place for all our friends and family. From college football Saturdays to family birthday parties!

We have 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and a semi-finished basement. Our neighborhood is full of activity from bike riding kids to dog walkers. We really hope this will be the perfect place for us to put down roots and raise a family.

We both have large, tight-knit families. We all live somewhat close together and we try to get together as often as we can.

When we get together there is a lot of activity, love and laughter that surrounds us. When our families get together, we always have adventures, mostly with our cousins who are around the same age as we are. We play card games, play sports, listen to music and laugh a ton.

Our families are unique because they are actually both from the same area and had a lot of individuals in common before we even met.

We were blessed to have met, and to have integrated into each other's families seamlessly. Our families will always be majorly involved in the child's life, as they attend each other's sporting events, plays, musicals, and dances.

We look forward to raising a child together with the love and support of both of our families.

Hello!

There could be a million reasons why you find yourself reading this. A million reasons why you have found yourself sitting in an office after bravely taking the first steps towards something that is unimaginably difficult but will also bring you a sense of immeasurable peace. A million reasons that no matter how hard you try to explain it, maybe only you understand. But something that everyone understands is that your most important reason for being right here, right now, is to make the choice of life for this child through pure unconditional love.

I want to introduce myself: My name is Cori. I am 30 years old, and I am going through the adoption process with my husband of two years. A few things to know about me: I grew up living a fairly normal life. My parents would tell you that I was a silly tomboy toddler ... who grew into a somewhat sassy teenager ... who loved to hang out with her brothers ... swim and dance ... went to college ... got a great education ... and ultimately found an amazing guy and called him mine! I have always wanted to be a mother. I wanted so badly to be a mother that I was considering adopting by myself before I even met my husband!

My husband's name is Ty, he is 28 years old, and we have been married for two years. He is amazing. He is crazy positive, competitive, strong, kind and loving. He has a family who would walk through fire just to make sure that our family has everything it needs to flourish. He is always family and God centered. He is so excited start a family! Our children will likely be sports-enthusiasts because Ty will want to coach every team, be at every event, dance recital or play that they decide to participate in. He will be their number one fan and fiercest advocate.

We have always said that words couldn't ever exist to thank you enough for the decisions you are making for this child, and that stands true to this day - we could not come up with the words to accurately share with you what this child will mean to our family. But what I do want to tell you is that, like you, we will love this baby with all our hearts.

We also want you to know that:

This is only the beginning of this adventure! We want to say thank you for bringing this child into the world and hopefully letting us be a part of the story.

Love Always,

Ty & Cori
