Keith & Tracy

Thank you for taking the time to learn about us.  We are excited to learn about you and your hopes and wishes for your baby.  Our hope is that we can all support each other through this journey.

We have been married for 11 years, and have raised two wonderful young adults, Megan (19) and Julian (16), from Keith’s previous marriage. As a family, we enjoy traveling, watching sporting events, and family game nights. We are so excited to welcome your child/children into our lives and promise to provide them with a warm, loving home and family.

About Us

We have been married for 11 wonderful years and love spending time together.  One of our favorite things to do as a family is travel! We love to explore new destinations, immerse ourselves in different cultures, and feel that travel is the best gift one can give to others- Which is why we often take friends and/or relatives with us on our trips. We also enjoy watching our favorite sports teams (including Julian’s high school basketball team) play.  We enjoy combining these two interests and have attended several sporting events while traveling.  As a family we also enjoy being outdoors, walking our dogs, hosting family game/movie nights, and having dinner together as a family.  We’re always trying new recipes and enjoy cooking together.  We look forward to sharing these adventures while making new memories with your child.

Tracy

Tracy is a very loyal and genuine person. She has always had a heart for others and, after graduating from college with her doctorate, started work as a doctor.  Helping others and being there to support, and encourage brings her so much joy.

Tracy enjoys traveling whenever possible, keeping up with her West Virginia football and basketball teams, and, in the summertime, she enjoys taking our dogs for walks and relaxing by our pool. She is a wonderful stepmother to my children and is always there to listen and help when they need her.

Education has always been important to Tracy, and I know she will enjoy sharing that thirst for knowledge with your child.  She’s sure to teach them all about baseball and softball- more than they will ever want to know!  I know she will instill in them the importance of faith, family, and hard work.

Keith

Keith is hardworking, dedicated, and patient. He grew up on a dairy farm and has always had a passion for sports! Keith played football in college which lead him to coach high school football and basketball for 15 years. He now works as a physical therapy assistant. Keith is a very caring and compassionate physical therapist- his patients adore him!

Keith loves to spend time out on the golf course, cheering for his favorite sports teams, and watching movies with the family in our home theater. He is an incredibly devoted father and an incredible coach. He always makes time for family and is always there to help others to be better.  His core belief when coaching is not to simply make better athletes but instead to make better people. I know that your child will find a great mentor, role model, and parent in Keith. I know he is excited to not only coach but to cheer your child on in the game of life.

Our Kids and Our Family

Our daughter, Megan (19), and son, Julian (16) are very busy, typical teenagers.  Megan is a sophomore in college and lives on campus.  Julian is a junior in high school-busy pursuing his dream of playing college basketball.  They always enjoy when we have meals together as a family, game nights, and sharing in our love for basketball! They are thrilled that we are adopting and both look forward to having a little sibling.

Keith comes from a large German/Catholic family. He has 6 siblings, all of whom reside here in Wisconsin. His brother still runs the family’s organic dairy farm which is located about 45 mins away from us! Keith has close to 60 first cousins which makes family events a lot of fun! Tracy comes from a Polish/Catholic family. With a larger extended family, and smaller immediate family. She has one brother who resides outside of the D.C. area and her parents live only 25 minutes away from us. Together we have 20 nieces and nephews. With such a large family presence nearby, we have a lot of support for our adoption!

Our Home in Wisconsin

Our 5 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms home is an all brick exterior with a corner lot. We have a large yard and a beautiful, fenced area with an inground pool and spa. We have a great patio area with a covered pavilion great for entertaining. We have a fire pit and bbq area that is usually very active in the spring/summer months. Inside, we have a theater area, a workout room complete with an infrared sauna, and an open concept living/dining/kitchen space. The neighborhood is very safe and quiet with several young families with small children. We are located very close to many parks, playgrounds and are in an excellent school district.

Our Promise

We promise that we will provide a loving, stable home for your child.  They will be well-traveled, given every educational opportunity available, encouraged to follow their passions, and have an endless amount of support.  Your child will be raised to understand the importance of hard work and what it means to be a person of strong moral character.  We will teach him/her the importance of faith and family.  They will grow up celebrating holidays surrounded by a large family filled with love and joy.  We promise your child will have a beautiful life. We would love to keep in touch with you through letters pictures and visits at your comfort level and promise your child will know as much, (or as little) about you and your family as you want them to know.
