Allen and Kristyn
We're looking to adopt a baby
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.
