Charles & Tiffane

About Us: A Journey of Love & Shared Dreams

Our story began when Tiffane returned to her hometown seeking a fresh start. What started as a conversation that night quickly turned into a deep friendship and enduring connection. We’ve journeyed through life’s joys and challenges hand in hand, always anchored by our shared dream of building a family.

That dream began to blossom in the most beautiful way when we welcomed our son, Jaxon, through adoption. Becoming parents has been the most joyful and humbling experience of our lives. Jaxon is now almost a year old. He’s full of curiosity and has filled our hearts and home with love. We look forward to growing our family once more and giving Jaxon a sibling to share in the laughter, love, and adventures of childhood.

We’ve always loved exploring new places—from the historic wonders of Europe to the colorful markets of Mexico—we can’t wait to show our children the world. We enjoy our morning walks as a family, soaking in nature and fresh air, and finding joy in the everyday moments. We’re regulars at our local farmer’s market, supporters of the arts, and firm believers in making memories—whether at a jazz festival, during a quiet night with a movie, or reading bedtime stories to our son. Life is fuller than ever, and we are so excited to expand our family with another child.

Meet Charles: A Family Man with a Heart for Education & Style

Tiffane says: Charles has always brought warmth and leadership into every corner of his life—whether as an elementary school principal, owner of a local men’s clothing store, or dedicated community volunteer, but seeing him become a father has been something truly special. He’s stepped into fatherhood with ease and joy—excitedly coming through the door each evening to greet Jaxon, reading to him before dinner, helping with bath time, and ending the night with a bottle and sweet snuggles.

Charles’s upbringing in a lively family of seven siblings taught him the value of guidance, patience, and unconditional love. He continues to mentor young boys and serve his community through volunteerism and creative leadership. He stays close with his own siblings through weekly calls and is always up for a game night or family gathering.

With his extroverted personality and deep love for others, Charles is a natural source of strength and positivity. He looks forward to welcoming another child into our lives and sharing with them the same love, attention, and steady support that he gives so generously each day.

Meet Tiffane: A Nurturing Spirit with a Passion for Connection & Creating Lasting Memories

Charles says: Watching Tiffane become a mom has been a beautiful experience. After years of thriving in the corporate world as a leader in HR and Marketing, she has effortlessly added a new (and the most meaningful role yet)—Mommy. She has cherished every moment with Jaxon, reading to him, singing songs, and narrating the world he’s just beginning to discover.

Tiffane captures each milestone and moment, filling our home with laughter, photos, and love. She creates a calm, cozy environment where Jaxon is nurtured, heard, and celebrated. Her nurturing spirit and gift for creating meaningful experiences are not just reserved for our family—she also mentors young adults, plans community events, and always finds ways to support and uplift those around her.

Her love of books, creative storytelling, and heartfelt conversations are gifts she is eager to share with another child. Tiffane is ready and excited to embrace the joys and challenges of growing our family and supporting two children as they discover their unique voices and dreams.

Our Extended Family: A Circle of Love & Support

Our Son: Jaxon, almost a year old, is full of life and personality. He loves books, dancing to music, and laughing during tickle time with Dad. His current favorite activities include playing peekaboo, clapping for himself when he accomplishes something new, and exploring every inch of the house with curiosity and determination. His smile lights up every room, and he has brought even more unity and joy to our family.

Our Extended Family: We are surrounded by a deeply loving and supportive extended family. Charles is one of seven siblings, and Tiffane’s family is mostly local, creating a beautiful blend of big family gatherings, long-standing traditions, and an abundance of cousins ready for playdates and adventures.

One of the biggest blessings in this season has been having Tiffane’s mother move in with us. Known lovingly as Nana, she’s a constant source of joy, wisdom, and snuggles. She has formed a special bond with Jaxon, and she’s excited to share that same nurturing love with another grandchild.

Our family and close friends welcomed Jaxon with open arms, and they are already excited about the next child who will join our circle. Together, we’ve built a community rooted in faith, joy, and unconditional love—ready to embrace another precious life with open hearts and arms.
