Hello,

Thank you so much for taking the time to learn about us. We know this is a very personal journey, and we hold a great deal of respect for you as you decide what is best for you and your child.

We’re Kurt and Mackenzie. We live in a small Wisconsin town. We’ve been together for over ten years, and during that time we’ve built a life rooted in love, laughter, and close family ties. Mackenzie works in special education, and Kurt is a maintenance technician. Our home is shared with our two sweet dogs, Basel and Finnegan, who keep things lively and always make us smile.

Kurt is a warm, easygoing person with a gentle sense of humor that often shows up at just the right moment. He has a calm, steady way about him that makes people feel comfortable and cared for, and he is known for his patience and his ability to truly listen, making others feel heard. He enjoys the simple, meaningful things in life—playing co-ed softball, tinkering with projects, spending time on computers, and sharing games and laughter with family. At his core, Kurt is steady, caring, and deeply devoted to the people he loves.

Mackenzie is a loving and devoted person, with a steady, dependable way of showing up for the people and things she cares about. She has a big heart and a quiet passion that shines through in the way she loves her family, friends, and the animals she adores—especially dogs and sheep. She finds joy in caring for and creating things, like crafting something by hand or tending to her garden full of vegetables and flowers. Mackenzie also loves making memories while visiting family out west, playing games together, and taking road trips. She brings warmth, thoughtfulness, and a deep sense of love into everything she does.

Family is at the center of our lives. We come from large, caring, and supportive families who are excited to welcome a child with open arms and surround them with love and encouragement. We value kindness, patience, creativity, and making everyday moments meaningful—whether that’s through hobbies like gardening and crafting, spending time outdoors, hands-on activities, exploring new places, cooking together, or visiting with loved ones.

Our greatest hope is to provide a home that feels safe, gentle, and full of love—a place where a child feels secure, supported, and free to grow at their own pace. We would be honored to walk alongside a child as they grow, always making sure we are honoring their story and surrounding them with unconditional love.

Thank you again for allowing us to share a bit about ourselves. We are truly grateful for your time and consideration.

With warm gratitude,
Kurt & Mackenzie
