Growing Our Home
Katie and Kevin
Fort Collins, Colorado
We are Kevin and Katie and we've been together for over twenty years, married for almost fifteen. We've created a lot of great memories during our time together and truly consider ourselves best friends. Seven years ago we decided we were ready for the ultimate adventure of parenthood. We were blessed with a pregnancy shortly thereafter but Katie miscarried at twelve weeks. Due to a variety of circumstances, we learned we had a 1% chance of conceiving naturally. We were of course devastated but after a lot of time, thought and prayer, God laid adoption on our hearts and we knew that this was our new path to parenthood.
Although we've felt grief and sadness for what we couldn't have, we wouldn’t change our journey because it’s what led us to our son, Benjamin Andrew, who we adopted in September 2015. Ben has been an absolute joy and we have so cherished parenthood – both the good days and the challenging days. We have an open relationship with Ben’s birth mother and her two other children, exchanging pictures, texts, and getting together a couple times of year. Two and a half years later, it’s become clear to us that we are meant to expand our family and adopt again. Ben is excited for a sibling and we are excited to become a family of four.
Our family motto is "Live, Laugh, Love" as we truly believe that God calls us to be a joy and light to those around us. We believe in living life to the fullest by creating memories through everyday moments and extraordinary adventures. Lucky for us, being within minutes of the Rocky Mountains gives us easy access to a lot of adventuring and enjoying God's beautiful creation. We can't wait to welcome another child into our home - for Ben to have a friend and sibling and for us to raise another in love!

We LOVE that you are adopting.
So this morning we signed off on our Homestudy and dropped off our profile books to our home office. This means we will start being shown to potential birth parents across all 10 states that our agency is located in. Now the real waiting begins as we wait for that phone call which indicates a birth parent wants to meet us. Last time around this wait only lasted 2 months, which is extremely fast in the adoption world. Kevin has a 'feeling' it will only be 45-60 days of waiting again but Katie thinks it will take longer. Either way, we are trusting God through whatever our journey looks like because He already has our second child ready for us!
