Hello!

We are Melinda and Scott, and we are deeply grateful for you taking the time to learn more about us. We are filled with hope and excitement at the possibility of starting our family, a dream we have cherished for many years. Our journey has been marked by trials and tribulations, but it has only strengthened our desire to start a family and our love for each other.

We have been married since 2017 and together since 2012. Our story began online, where we found an unexpected connection. Despite our differences, we continue to discover new things about each other every day. Both of us were born and raised in Southern Wisconsin, where our schools were rivals, but our towns shared many similarities. We both have strong family ties and are always there to support our loved ones. We cherish holiday gatherings with both sides of our families and truly enjoy the warmth and joy these moments bring.

Traveling is one of our greatest passions, and we are excited with the opportunity to share our adventures with our child. Our favorite destinations are Minocqua, Wisconsin, and San Diego, California. These places, though different, offer us the perfect blend of relaxation and adventure. Northern Wisconsin allows us to slow down and appreciate the simple joys of life, while California’s sunshine and palm trees provide endless opportunities for exploration and fun.

Melinda works for a local community bank in an officer role and Scott is a Business Analyst for a global company at their local automotive testing facility. We both have been blessed with careers that provide flexible work schedules and employers who promote work/life balance. When we are not working, we love spending time together on mini adventures, working on home projects, and enjoying the company of our beloved pets.

Building our home in 2020, right in the midst of the pandemic, was a challenging yet rewarding experience. It brought us closer together as we navigated delays and unexpected changes. In our new community, we have found wonderful neighbors who have become dear friends and are wholeheartedly supporting us in our adoption journey.

We dream of becoming parents and are eager to provide a loving, nurturing home for your child. We promise to offer them every opportunity to grow, learn, and become the best version of themselves. Our hearts are open, and we are ready to embrace the joys and challenges of parenthood.

Thank you for considering us. We are honored by your courage and trust, and we hope to share our love and life with your child.

-Melinda and Scott
