A Letter from Brandon & Megan
Hello from the Hoosier State- Indiana! We are so thankful to you for considering us for your child. We are excited to be parents for the first time and look forward to having adventures with your child. We enjoy spending time together with friends and family as well as many different activities from sports to woodworking. We look forward to getting to know you and keeping in touch at your comfort level.
Our Story
We met in 2010 at a friend’s wedding, started dating in 2015, and the rest is history. We’ve been married since 2019 and are ready to start our family through adoption. We enjoy playing games, spending time outside, taking on woodworking projects, and learning new skills. On weekends Megan rides her bike while Brandon rollerblades on a local greenway. In our day-to-day lives, we enjoy cooking and having dinner together, walking our dog, and spending time with one another. We are lucky to be surrounded by family and close friends who provide us with an amazing support network and who have been excited and supportive during this time of expanding our family. We look forward to sharing travel, sports, reading, and family traditions with your child.
Meet Brandon
Brandon has a “go with the flow” attitude and can switch directions well. He is patient, takes the time to understand others, and enjoys hosting events and grilling for friends and family. Being active is very important to him. He can be found officiating ice hockey in the winter, playing softball and volleyball in the summer, and taking on new projects. Brandon has taught himself to be a skilled woodworker, making several pieces of furniture such as a bed, bedside tables, outdoor chairs, and a rocking chair for reading to your child. He looks forward to cooking simple meals with and for your child. He also looks forward to teaching and encouraging him or her in whatever interests they pursue.
Brandon enjoys:
- Participating in athletics
- Summer weekends at the cabin
- Being outside by the grill or fire
- Playing with our dog
- Making pancakes/waffles on the weekend
Meet Megan
Megan is empathetic, loving, and kind. She is a planner and prefers to be organized. Megan is an avid reader and is usually reading a few different books at any given time. She enjoys swimming, finishing the furniture I make, history, being active in the book club with her friends, and playing with our dog daily. Trying new recipes has become a new interest for her, and she also enjoys sitting by the fire in the fall and hosting “drive-in” movie nights in the backyard. Megan is excited to share her love of reading and history; hopefully making both fun. She is also excited for when it comes to time teach your child to ride a bike; she’s already started practicing with her niece.
Megan enjoys:
- Reading
- Swimming
- Bike rides
- Bonfires
- Music and wine festivals
Back home again in Indiana
We live within the city limits, close to shopping, parks, museums, and exciting activities. Our home is in a safe, kid-friendly neighborhood. We live in a three-bedroom home with a basement that will be great for indoor activities such as riding small bikes, painting, playing games, and bouncing and kicking a ball. While the nursery is not ready yet, we have all of the essential items ready to be arranged for your child. Our backyard is fenced-in with plenty of room to play. We enjoy hosting our family and friends at our home for Halloween and New Year’s Eve parties. Our home has become a place where our families and friends gather and spend time with each other. Our home has been everything we’ve needed it to be, safe, warm, and comfortable.
Our Family
Brandon’s family lives in Minnesota, and we enjoy traveling to see them at least twice a year, with his parents coming to our home at least once a year. We enjoy weekly facetime calls with Brandon’s parents, sister, brother-in-law, and niece. He has Uncles, Aunts, and cousins coast to coast. Megan’s immediate and extended family live in or close to our city. Sundays are spent at her sister’s home with family. Your child will have cousins to play with throughout life. We are also Godparents of four; three cousins and a niece.
Family Traditions:
- Making meatballs and cookies for Christmas Eve
- Summers at the cabin
- Baking Thanksgiving and Easter pies
- Annual vacation with Megan’s mom and sister’s family
