About Us
Hello! We are Justin and Kaitlin and we are so grateful that you have taken the time to glance into our lives. Justin and I have always wanted to be parents. We had plans to have children biologically, hopes and dreams of what our family would look like, however God's plans look different for our family. After two years of infertility, negative tests, unsuccessful fertility treatments, many prayers and trusting in the Lord’s timing, we are overjoyed to start this next journey. We feel strongly that the Lord is calling us to welcome a child into our home through adoption. We have been praying for this future adopted child for a long time, and now we pray we get to meet them soon.
We are looking forward to growing our family through any of the following adoption opportunities:

Justin's TESTIMONY
I grew up in a faithful Christian home with loving parents. My parents showed me God's love daily. They made sure to teach my brother and I the importance of attending church weekly and being active in our youth group. One of my favorite memories was attending a Tuesday Night Together one summer night and deciding it was finally time to confess Jesus as my Lord and Savior and put Him on in baptism.
Once I met Kaitlin, my faith deepened as I had prayed to God for years for a godly woman to marry and as soon as we met, I knew that that prayer had been answered. She encourages me to be a godly leader for our family daily.
Our journey through infertility deepened my faith in God even further. Through multiple years of waiting, our prayer life became much deeper and we began to dig into the Word even more than we ever have. We fully relied on God to lead us and help us through that difficult season. Once we decided to adopt, we immediately had a calm and a peace come over us that made us know this was God's plan for our life. We can't wait to share God's love with a child and lead that child to Him.
Kaitlin's TESTIMONY
I grew up in a loving, Christian home and have been blessed to learn from my parent's strong faith. I went to church services weekly and always looked forward to church camps and mission trips during the summer. One of my favorite memories of church camp was getting baptized by my dad in the lake. This upbringing instilled in me the importance of a Christian lifestyle and having a firm foundation on Jesus Christ.
When I went off to college, I began to grow deeper in my faith as this was one of the first times that I didn't just go to church because I was with my family, but I went to church because I wanted to further my relationship with the Lord.
When Justin and I met, our love for Jesus brought us close and we got married in 2020. Justin and I have always wanted to be parents. We had plans to have children biologically, hopes and dreams of what our family would look like, however God's plans look differently for our family. After two years of infertility, negative tests, and unsuccessful fertility treatments, we turned to the Lord to get us through that season of grief. During our struggle with infertility, we also celebrated with my sister and her husband as they got pregnant and had a baby of their own. There was a period of grief, sadness and loss that intertwined with happiness, excitement, and joy. It was a roller coaster of emotions, and we realized that life is like a hot fudge sundae. Life can be like the hot fudge and exciting, but at the same time it can be cold ice cream with heartache. We truly understand what it feels like to go through hard situations with mixed emotions, however our faith gave us hope, comfort and strength as we fully relied on God through our darkest days.
The Lord provided us with an overwhelming amount of peace as we walked through that season of life, and He continues to give us a peace that passes all understanding. We are overjoyed to begin this next journey and believe that the Lord’s timing is perfect. Jeremiah 29:11 says “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future.”
Letter to you
Read MoreOur Christian Commitment
Justin and I were both raised in Christian homes learning to love and walk with Jesus. Our faith in Christ is the basis for how we treat each other, how we plan to parent our children, and how we treat others around us. Matthew 22:37-39 commands us to love God and love others. We will strive to lead by example and worship our Lord every week and study His word at home. We will continue to love others by investing in the lives of those around us, whether through service, prayer, or fellowship.
We also want to raise our child to know the grace, love, and salvation of Jesus. Proverbs 22:6 says that we are to “train up a child in the way they should go, and when they are old, they will not depart from it.” Justin and I want to raise our child to be a light and serve others with the talents God has blessed them with. We are passionate about living out our faith daily to draw others closer to Jesus.
Vision For Raising A Child
Thank you so much for taking the time to look over our profile! We know that you are faced with a big decision, and we continue to pray for clarity and peace as you consider your options. If you decide that we are the family for your child, please know that we will surround him or her with an abundance of love and care.
We have wanted to be parents for a long time, and if we are given the opportunity, this child will be a cherished blessing in our lives. They will be raised in a safe, loving, and joyful home and will grow up regularly spending time with their extended family. We will provide many opportunities for fun and adventure.
This child will also be taught about the unending love of Jesus and will be raised in a loving church of believers. There are several other adoptive families in our church, and lots of children in general, so they will grow up with many playmates/friends. We've come to understand how important it is for children to know who they are and where they come from, so we will do our best to honor your child's history and story. And we will share often about how much you love them.
As a birthmother making plans for a child, we can imagine that you may be in a difficult time of life. We care and are praying for you often. May you be blessed, whatever you decide.
With love,
Justin and Kaitlin

HOBBIES & INTERESTS
Kaitlin was blessed to have grown up in a loving, Christian home with amazing, supportive parents. Her family has always been close, and they encouraged her to pursue her interests, so she moved to Arkansas, went to college, and graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Interior Design. One year later when Justin and Kaitlin met, their love for Jesus brought them close and they got married in 2020. Kaitlin loved planning their wedding so much that she and her family have started a wedding planning and coordination business! Justin somehow convinced this city girl to move to the country, however it didn’t take long for Kaitlin to realize how special life on the farm really is! We decided to build our dream home on the farm in 2022 and being an interior designer, it was an absolute joy to build and think about all the memories we would make in this home with our future family.
ABOUT OUR HOME
We live in a beautiful, country town with parks and attractions close by. Justin and I enjoy spending time on our back porch where we like to grill out, watch sunsets and play with our dogs.
One of the nearby parks has tons of room to play, including a playground, soccer fields, baseball fields, basketball courts, bike trails, hiking trails, and a large field for kickball.
