Thank you for taking the time to get to know our family. Over the past year, God has shown us that adoption is the next step in our journey to grow our family. We, along with our son RJ, look forward to sharing our lives with another child. We enjoy movie nights and traveling to experience life and culture outside of our community. We look forward to getting to know you and sharing with you photos, letters, calls, and occasional visits at your comfort level.
About Us
We met on the 4th of July 2011, and 4 years later we were married! We have continued to grow together ever since. We love to travel and spend time enjoying the world while on vacation. Our favorite trips have included Puerto Rico, New Orleans, and San Francisco. We also enjoy going on ski trips with our friends, whether it is spent in the snow or by the fire. In 2019 we were blessed with the birth of our son, RJ, and have been reliving our own childhoods with a lot of songs, toys, games, and puzzles with him.
We value education greatly and look forward to helping our next child grow in themself and in God. We love that we live close to much of our family and many of our friends; it makes for plenty of get-together opportunities for games, movie nights, and more. We look forward to going on new trips, sharing stories, and supporting our next child and RJ growing up together as siblings.
About Randal
Sabine says: Randal is my best friend, my supporter, and the easiest person I can be myself with. I knew from the moment we were expecting that he would be a great dad, and he is! Randal is a loving and active father. Whenever he and RJ are playing together, they always have so much fun! Randal loves introducing RJ to some of his childhood favorites, like the Muppets. Some of Randal’s favorite things include 90’s sitcoms, fishing, skiing, watching baseball (The St. Louis Cardinals), and football. He is also a history buff, has a passion for making others laugh, and loves to cook. He is a master of the grill! Randal is our family planner and always checks the details, making sure our trips run smooth and fun. He looks forward to sharing new experiences with our next child and is excited to teach them how to fish and ski.
About Sabine
Randal says: Since we met, Sabine has always been encouraging in every new challenge that I have faced. She is a woman of strong faith and starts the day off with praise and worship. I love the fact that she has journaled since she was young and takes time to reflect on what is important to her. Sabine is very stylish, is into fashion, and is always the one people turn to for tips. She likes to watch HGTV, and use Pinterest for ideas around the house as she loves to decorate and organize. She is truly an amazing mother. Sabine takes RJ to the park, plays games with him, and reads to him daily. She constantly teaches RJ new things every day and is very loving and caring. I know that Sabine is looking forward to helping our next child find who they are and encourage them to follow their dreams.
About Our Son and Family
Our son, RJ, is 5 years old and loves to explore, enjoys story time (his favorite story is The Very Hungry Caterpillar), and likes soccer, t-ball, music, puzzles and board games. He loves to play outside at the park and ride around the neighborhood on his Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle bike. When he listens to his favorite music, he sings along and dances! We know he will be a wonderful big brother.
We have a large, loving family that loves us and that is very important to us! We are blessed that a lot of our family lives close by. We visit with them regularly, including most of Randal’s immediate family. We also have family in different states who are all so excited about our adoption and can’t wait for us to visit. Randal’s mom is already excited to buy her plane ticket and visit the moment we welcome our next child into our home. Our whole family is excited to welcome another child with open arms.
Our Missouri Home
We currently live in a 3-bedroom house in a quiet community. We have a spacious backyard that our dogs, Roxy and Trixie, enjoy. We also have a swing set and other fun activities in our yard. Our community is walkable and provides access to two local parks. There is an elementary school within a five-minute walk from us. We recently moved from Florida to Missouri to move into Randal’s childhood home. Our home’s location provides us easy access to all the restaurants, stores, and attractions in the metropolitan area.
Our Promise
We promise to love and care for your child. We will make sure that they have every opportunity to have fun and explore the world. Our goal will be to let your child be exposed to many activities and help him/her find their passions in life. We want to give them the opportunity to pursue their dreams and cheer for them along the way. We will help to build a foundation of faith for your child and promise to provide you with updates through pictures, letters, and yearly visits.
