Hello!

We are Megan, Terri, Lars (white dog), and Apollo (brown dog). We appreciate the time you are taking to read about us and learn about how we may be a good fit! We are so excited to expand our family through adoption and are happy to answer any questions you may have. We hope this time gives you a genuine look into who we are and our lives.

We met in the spring of 2021 through a dating app and have been best friends ever since. In the earlier days of our relationship, we spent time having thoughtful conversations and getting to know one another through our shared passions and the lens through which we view the world. We both work as social workers and quickly bonded over our careers, hobbies, sense of humor, and shared love of service, learning, and experiences. We enjoy traveling and taking classes to try new things, often spending our downtime watching documentaries or reality TV. We have grown in love for one another each day since the start of our relationship, and we can’t wait to share this love through adoption.

Terri works as a social worker in the emergency room and loves being a part of advocating for patient care needs and supporting vulnerable moments with patients and their families. When not at work, you can find Terri singing to Broadway tunes, practicing a new skill-currently American Sign Language, or having a snuggle session with our two dogs.

Megan works as a social work supervisor and enjoys this role of supporting staff and stretching their problem-solving skills in consultations. When not at work, Megan loves a good book, you can also find them trying a new recipe or building their new favorite Lego, all of which they look forward to doing with a child(ren) someday.

Lars and Apollo are our fun-loving furry family members. Lars is our older dog at 11 years old. He is a husky mix who loves to sunbathe and roll in the grass, spending as much of his days outside as possible, regardless of the weather. Apollo is our 4-year-old rottie mix who could never tire of cuddles and games of tug. He spends most of his days within an arm’s reach of his humans, always there to offer a sloppy wet kiss or request more snuggles. We look forward to family walks with both boys and a kiddo and are confident they will approach a child with love and curiosity as they do with our family and friends’ children now.

Family, both biological and chosen, is important to us. Megan’s parents live about 30 minutes from us and are thrilled when we discuss our future family. They can’t wait to spend time with their grandchild(ren) and make as many memories as possible. Terri’s sister, who lives in Arizona, has two children, and they have also expressed their excitement in having a cousin who will come visit when we do and having another playmate. Although their toddler's understanding of the adoption process is, of course, limited, they can’t wait to laugh and play with another family member. Terri’s mom is looking forward to having another addition to the grandchildren club and talks about big family get-togethers and future holidays spent as one big family. In addition to our biological family, we have a handful of friends who are just as close and important as blood. We are extremely lucky to have wonderful people to call our family tree. We have a solid foundation of community members who are just as excited as we are for our family to grow, and I can’t wait to see them all step into their roles as grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins who can show love and support to us and our growing family.

Thank you for the time you have spent reading about us and our family. Words can truly not express how much this means to us for you to spend time thinking about our home. We respect the choice that is best for you and your needs, and we know it is not an easy one. We are open to conversations about what a family may look like through adoption and are willing to engage in discussion about how much or little you would like to be involved or updated. Thank you again for considering us as a good fit.
