About Us
Hello! We are Aaron, Elizabeth, Alice, and Asa. We live in a rural community and love having some land where the kids can run and play! Aaron grew up in the country so it was important to him that our children had that same opportunity. We have 2 dogs and 15 chickens. We've had goats, ducks, and pigs before but we enjoy having diffferent animals around so the kids can learn responsibility and how to treat animals. Elizabeth would love to get sheep and an alpaca in the future but Aaron's not quite sure about that! We love being outside on the cool, starry nights. We also love listening to all the birds and animals around us. Exploring the area around us is also a fun thing to do.
While we love country life and animals, we also love music. Aaron plays the piano, guitar, and sings. Elizabeth plays the piano, saxophone, (working on)ukelele, and sings. Alice likes to play the recorder. Both kiddos can make anything into a drum and like to try to play the piano! It's one fun house!
We are looking forward to growing our family through any of the following adoption opportunities:

Read MoreOur Christian Commitment
We try to be involved in our church as a family. While that can look different while the kids are still little, we want them to know that we serve the Lord as a family and it's not just something that mommy and daddy do. The kids love being around people and we all travel together when the choir goes on a trip. If Elizabeth makes a meal for someone, we all take to over to show them how much we love them. We also have a ministry to college students that attend the college where Aaron works. We open up our home so they can get away from campus life and relax. Alice and Asa both enjoy time with the college students. Alice thinks they are all her best friends and we love that!
Aaron is the Music Director at our church so he is involved in many things there. Elizabeth sings in the choir, plays piano, plays in the orchestra, and helps in the nursery. Our church has great children's programs and the kids are always excited to go to class. Elizabeth has grown up at the church we attend. Elizabeth's parents still attend church with us too. We go to their house every Sunday afternoon for lunch, coffee, and naps! We love being able to serve the people that have watched her grow up. The people of our church are more like a family to us and they have commented how neat it has been to watch the Lord grow our family through adoption. We're so thankful for our church and the many people there that we love!
Vision For Raising A Child
We are definitely not perfect people and we never will be! We are learning and growing with each child and with each new stage of life. We want to be teachable and follow the Lord so that our children can see that. We want them to know that the Lord has a purpose for their life and that they were never a mistake. They are so loved, not only by us, but also their biological family. We want to raise them to be honest, loving, and kind. We also want to raise them to have a good work ethic. Most importantly, we want to raise them to love the Lord and put Him first. If they do that, they will never have any regrets. We want them to do whatever the Lord has for their life and I know that we will be so proud of them, no matter what.
ABOUT Aaron
From Elizabeth: Aaron is one amazing friend, husband, and father! He works hard to provide for us but still puts our family first. He has the flexibility with his work to help out at home, when needed. We couldn't make it without him! He's the rock of our family and always provides stability and protection. Alice is definitely a daddy's girl! Asa loves to wrestle with him when he gets home from work. We love to take adventures as a family and explore new places.
EXTENDED FAMILY
We have family in the area. We also have a big support system through our church and the college, where Aaron works. We're thankful for all our friends and family!
WORK & EDUCATION
Aaron has a Master's in Religious Education. He works as a Music Director at our church and as a Music Department Chariman at a Bible College. He loves what he does!
Elizabeth has a Bachelor's in Nursing and has been a Registered Nurse for 8 years. She currently works one day a week as an instructor at a local college in their nursing department. Once we adopt again, she will be a stay-at-home momma!
HOBBIES & INTERESTS
We like to homestead. We have 15 chcikens and we enjoy getting fresh eggs! We also have a small fruit orchard where we are working on getting fresh fruit that you can just pick from the trees. We live in a rural area and have some land. The kids get to explore and play. It's quiet here and you can hear the chirping of birds in the spring time or look at stars on a clear night.
