Hi there! We’re Amy and John.  We’ve been together for 10 years and married for 7. 

We’re both Midwesterners, Amy born in Wisconsin and John a Canadian transplant with roots in South Dakota. We both moved from our respective small towns to the Madison area in our early teens/twenties. 

We’re excited to have an adoption that suits your comfort level. We welcome an open adoption where a child can be part of a greater community full of laughter and love. We hope our home and hearts can be a bedrock for your child’s foundation.

We cherish family breakfast every weekend, and we love embellishing our meals with products from our local farmer’s markets.  We’re grateful to live in a community that prides itself on trails and parks and to be stewards of the nature we enjoy. 

We are animal lovers, having two cats and two dogs ourselves. We enjoy walks and time outside with our pets - often stopping longer than necessary while our pups say hello to everyone on the block. We also love fishing and a good beach day!  

We’re most excited to be a part of your journey. Our support network is extensive and supportive and we’re excited to introduce your child to the mix.

With admiration, 

John and Amy
