Kyle & Steph

Hi there! Our names are Kyle and Steph, and we are hopeful adoptive parents. We’ve dreamed of raising children together and feel blessed to be in the process of adopting our first. We would be honored to raise your child with our core values of faith, family, character, and education.

About Us

We’ve been married since September 2020 and have been together since 2016. We met on the dance floor of Steph’s sister’s wedding, and have been dancing together ever since!  Adopting has always been a dream for us, as we have a strong desire to build our family and raise children together.  We believe that every child deserves a loving home with opportunities to grow.  Here are some of the things we both share a love for:

• Family – We are both blessed with siblings, wonderful parents, and nieces/nephews
• Traveling – Exploring new places together, especially the National and State parks
• The Outdoors – Kayaking, Hiking, Wakeboarding, and more!
• Volunteering – Giving back to our community is incredibly rewarding
• Faith – God remains at the center of our lives every day

Our Little Slice of Heaven in Wisconsin

Our home is located in a cozy neighborhood in the suburbs of Wisconsin. Parks, restaurants, and other fun activities are a short drive from our home. We are also blessed to be within walking distance of our local Catholic Church. Whether it’s cooking dinner together, taking a walk with our dog, Millie, or inviting our family over for game night, our house truly feels like a home.

• 3-Bedroom house with a finished basement
• Neighborhood sidewalks – great for family walks, bike rides, and roller blading
• Close to local school, playground, and dog park
• Family members are only a 5-minute drive away
• Four beautiful seasons to experience

Our Family

We are incredibly grateful for the wonderful family we have. They bring so much joy and laughter to our lives, and we treasure every moment spent with them. We’ve created a warm, loving environment where we support and encourage one another through all of life’s ups and downs. Whether it’s going out of our way to help each other, sharing stories around the dinner table, or enjoying spontaneous game nights, we’re always finding ways to bond and grow closer as a family. Holidays together are especially fun!

Our family is made up of some truly remarkable people. Both of our dads are incredibly handy and can fix just about anything, which has come in handy more times than we can count. Kyle’s dad is a former firefighter, and Steph’s dad is a former marine. Their bravery and selflessness still shine through in everything they do. Our mothers are equally as wonderful-they are both compassionate with hearts full of love for everyone around them. They are great listeners, always offering kind words of advice and making sure everyone feels heard, understood, and comfortable in their home. We both have siblings who are amazing individuals, and we are so blessed to be able to call them family. We recently became uncle and aunt to both a beautiful boy and girl, which we are so grateful for.

We promise to love your child unconditionally. We promise to encourage them to pursue their passions and to be their true self. We will provide them with a stable and healthy home, and parents who they can go to about anything. We will raise them with our core values of faith, family, character, and education at the center of their lives. We promise that your child will always know your value to our family, and the love you have for them.
