Hi! We’re Brooke and Max.

Before anything else, we want to say how grateful we are that you’re taking a moment to learn about us. We can only imagine the strength, love, and courage it takes to consider adoption, and we hold so much respect for you.

We grew up in the same small town and have built our life around family, faith, and the simple joys of everyday life. We’re truly best friends who love spending time with the people closest to us - family dinners, lake days at the cottage, cooking together at home, and laughing with our nieces and nephews.

Brooke is an elementary teacher who has always had a heart for children, and Max is someone who brings warmth, kindness, and fun wherever he goes. Together we’ve created a home that feels welcoming, steady, and full of love.

We have felt called to adoption for a long time and feel so grateful for the chance to grow our family this way. If you choose us, your child will grow up surrounded by love, family traditions, cousins, and a community that already cannot wait to welcome them.

Your child’s story will always be something we honor and speak about with love. They would grow up knowing the love behind your decision, and we would welcome whatever level of connection feels right for you.

We are so grateful you took the time to learn about our hearts and our home. If you ever feel a connection with us, we would be grateful for the chance to learn more about you.

With love,

Brooke & Max

 

From preschool friends to building a life together.

Florida trips have become one of our favorite traditions!

The lake is one of our favorite places to slow down and enjoy time together.

Many of our summer days turn into lake days with nieces and nephews—sunshine, splashing, and lots of laughs.

Summers at the cottage are a favorite for Max’s family. As one of four siblings, it means lots of laughter, porch swing chats, and plenty of niece and nephew time.

Max’s parents are such a special part of our lives and are already so excited to love on the little one who will join our family.

Baking with Brooke’s mom is where her love for baking began. Every Thanksgiving they usually make eight pies together—and Brooke is almost always in charge of the crust.

Every summer we take family trips up north. Rain or shine there's always good food and lots of family time.
