Hello! We're Caleb, Maggie, and Charlotte. We're so excited—and truly grateful—to be growing our family through adoption once again. Our hope is that this profile gives you a meaningful glimpse into who we are, what we value, and the kind of parents we strive to be. No matter what path you choose, please know that we are sending love, strength, and our very best wishes to you, your child, and your family.

Our story began during our freshman year at UW-Madison, where we met while living just a few doors apart in the same dorm. We've now been together for 12 years and married for six. From the beginning, we dreamed of having a family. After facing years of infertility, we felt God gently leading us toward adoption.

In April 2024, we adopted our daughter, Charlotte. She has been the greatest blessing to us, and we are endlessly thankful for how God's plan unfolded. Charlotte is now one year old-full of joy, curiosity, and the most contagious laugh. She's caring, playful, and already showing signs of being an amazing big sister. She makes sure her baby doll is well fed, snuggled, and loved every day.

We live in Suamico, Wisconsin, in a quiet, family-friendly neighborhood. Our home is close to great schools, walking trails, parks, and several favorite ice cream shops. Most afternoons, the streets are filled with the sounds of children playing, biking to nearby ponds, and families out walking together. It's a community we love and feel so lucky to raise Charlotte in.

Caleb is a chiropractor and owns his own clinic in northern Wisconsin. Maggie is a stay-at-home mom. Together, we enjoy spending time with family and friends, being outdoors, staying active, and tackling home projects. More than anything, we love just being together and creating a home filled with love, laughter, and learning.

As a family, we deeply value our faith, our relationships with one another, and the importance of friendship. We believe in embracing mistakes as part of the journey-knowing that perfection isn't the goal, but growth is. While we don't claim to have it all figured out, we're committed to learning from our missteps and doing our best to be better each day. Honesty, empathy, and kindness are at the heart of how we live and love. As we continue to grow in our roles as parents, Caleb and I remain dedicated to learning and evolving together.

Thank you so much for taking the time to learn about our family. We hope you enjoy getting a glimpse into our lives through our adoption book, photos, and stories-and that they give you a sense of who we are. Whatever path you choose, we sincerely wish you and your family peace, love, and strength. If adoption feels like the right decision for you, we would be honored to have the opportunity to meet you one day.

With love,

Caleb, Maggie, and Charlotte

 

Charlotte enjoys some whipped cream with a side of waffle. Breakfast is her favorite meal.

Family pictures with Maggie’s family. Fun fact: this photo was taken on the street where Maggie grew up (it’s a very quiet road).

Visiting Chicago for a family wedding.

We went to a local fall festival with Caleb's mom, sister, and our nephew Charlie.

Charlotte dressed up as a Packer cheerleader for Halloween. We didn’t go trick-or-treating, but she loved handing out candy.

We enjoy traveling as a family whenever we can. This was taken in Fort Myers Beach in Florida.

Charlotte with her cousins. Every year, her aunt gets all the kids matching PJs—one of our favorite traditions.

We learned Charlotte loves waterslides after a trip to the Dells earlier this year.

Caleb grew up playing hockey and loves getting on the ice whenever he can. Charlotte prefers to watch from the side.

Maggie’s parents have a small tree farm on their property, so this year we picked out our family Christmas tree there.
