our story
Our names are Joel and Alex, we have been married for 8+ years, and have a 4-year-old son named Aquilla. We brought him home from the NICU through foster care and were able to adopt him a year later in 2021. Now he’s ready to be a big brother!
Our Christian faith is very important to us, and it's our goal to keep God and his word at the center of everything we are and do.
We are not big travelers (although we enjoy it) or fancy spenders, but we live a happy life full of family time, creativity and small adventures. We believe in kids spending time outdoors, flexing their creative and imaginative muscles and learning in wholesome, fun ways. We love reading books, playing with lego, drawing, painting, watching a good cooking competition or old tv show, listening to music, dance parties in the living room, home cooked meals together at the table, and trips to the park and library.
why we choose adoption
Although we’ve always dreamed of having a family and raising children, we have been unable to do that biologically. It’s a hard reality at times, but we believe it has always been God’s plan for us - that rather than bringing biological children into the world, we open our hearts to those who are in need of families. We started this journey by becoming foster parents, but after Quill’s adoption, we felt led to adopt privately the next time. We think this will create the most stability for Quill, as well as our future children. Alex’s greatest dream in life has always been to be a mother, and Joel is a wonderful father. We love children and love being parents, even in the difficult times. We believe adoption is just one of the many ways that God can take broken things and make them beautiful.
