Hello, we are Allen, Kristyn, Camden, and Sawyer! Our hearts are open, and we have so much love to share. We are grateful to be considered in this huge decision. Thank you for taking the time to learn more about us as prospective parents. 

We met in our junior year of college in 2012 through mutual friends. Although we had the same major and had known the same people since freshman year, it took two and a half years of college for us to finally be introduced. Not long after we met, we were inseparable, and it's been that way ever since. Allen proposed in 2017, and in June 2018, we got married! 

After a few years of infertility, we went to a fertility clinic to assist us in getting pregnant, and in 2021, we had our son, Camden. In 2023, our second son, Sawyer, was born. During both pregnancies and births, Kristyn experienced life-threatening complications. We both knew that we wanted to continue to grow our family. Adoption was something we had always talked about since we started dating as Kristyn was adopted herself as an infant, with many cousins and friends adopted themselves. We feel fortunate to have the opportunity to welcome another blessing into our home through adoption.

Financial Support

Expectant mothers who choose to make an adoption plan may qualify for some level of financial assistance during their pregnancy. However, each person's situation and specific needs are different. Your adoption social worker can help you determine what level of assistance you qualify for and deserve. Many expectant mothers qualify for financial assistance to cover basic pregnancy and living expenses, including but not limited to - transportation reimbursement, utility assistance for phone, water, and electricity/gas, maternity clothing and supplements, etc.

FAQ’s about placing a baby for Adoption

I'm considering giving my baby up for adoption. How much does that cost?

It won't cost you anything. If you choose to place your baby for adoption, all of your medical and legal fees will be covered and you may be eligible for financial assistance with other pregnancy-related expenses.

I'm experiencing an unplanned pregnancy and don't know who the birth father is. Can I still place my baby for adoption?

Yes. Even if you don’t know the identity of the birth father, you can still choose to make an adoption plan. However, every adoption situation is different. The adoption social worker you’re assigned to will get to know you and your story first, and then guide you through the process accordingly.

When is the right time to talk with an adoption professional?

You can make an adoption plan at any point in your pregnancy, even after the baby has been born. But, it's important to start the process as early in your pregnancy as possible. Connecting with those resources will allow you to gain access to important medical services, including prenatal care, to help ensure a healthy pregnancy.

When I create an adoption plan, will I get to choose who is in the room with me during delivery?

One aspect of your adoption plan is the "Hospital Plan" an outline of how you'd like your hospital stay and delivery to go. You can craft this on your own or with the help of your adoption social worker. But everything is up to you. You’ll be able to choose who comes to the hospital with you, who is in the room with you during delivery, and how much time you’d like to spend with the baby before signing the final papers.

How much contact will I have with the adoptive family after I place my baby with them?

As part of your adoption plan, you'll determine whether or not you’d like to have an open or closed adoption or something in between. Open adoptions may include phone calls, messaging (via social media, email, or text), and/or periodic visits each year. Closed adoptions may include no contact at all or annual updates provided to the birth parent(s) by the adoptive family. Each post-adoption relationship is different and can vary based on what an expectant mother chooses in her adoption plan.

Spring is Peaking Through

01/04/2025

We are very excited the weather is starting to warm up. The nice days have gotten us outside more, playing in the backyard on the playset and sandbox.  We have been doing crafts, visiting museums and indoor playgrounds.  The weather was warm enough that Allen took the boys on a bike ride to a playground. We are excited to be outside again and see all our friends and neighbors.

Family Vacation / Destination Wedding 2025

08/02/2025

Camden and Sawyer were recently ring bearers in one of Kristyn's close friends destination weddings. We traveled for the first time on a plane as a family to Punta Cana where we stayed at a resort with Kristyn's friends.  We played in the pool, at the beach, arcade and water park. It was nice to escape to warm weather and it made us excited for the spring. 

Kristyn was also a "groomsmaid"

Winter 2024

06/03/2025

It has been a cold and snowy winter.  The holidays came and went so fast!  Kristyn and Sawyer traveled to Canada to visit Kristyn's cousins and go to a Santa parade.  Allen and Camden went to Gigi and Papa's tiny home where there was a lot of snow. We spent time with family, made cookies, visited Santa, celebrated birthdays and played in the snow.  With the weather being cold, we've gone to jumping parks, museums, hockey games and indoor parks. We're ready to play outside again!

Fall 2024

01/11/2024
It has been a warm fall and we have been enjoying every minute of it.  Camden completed his first season of soccer and turned 3! We had a birthday party for him at our home with close family and friends.
This fall we watched football, visited cider mills, played in costumes, had many playdates and went trick or treating.  Our neighborhood was filled with hundreds of kids dressed up. 
We are now excited to start the holiday season with family traditions.

Summer Update

18/09/2024

Summer flew by with multiple visits to Gigi and Papa’s tiny home. Uncle Dylan (Kristyn’s Brother) married Aunt Andrea, and we celebrated Kristyn's grandma's 90th birthday with a family reunion. We enjoyed trips to the zoo, beach, and children’s gardens. Camden and Sawyer started swimming lessons, and Camden joined a neighborhood soccer program. Now, our home is decorated for fall, and we’re excited to visit cider mills and enjoy some donuts!
