Waiting to Adopt: Meet Paul and Sarah

Paul and SarahAbout 7 years ago when we first met, I was living in Boise, Idaho, and Paul was living in Hugoton.  We became friends and talked on the phone, emailed, and got to know each other.  We started dating after I moved back to Kansas to finish my teaching degree, and we dated for about 3 years.

We were married June 5, 2010.  We had a large wedding party and an even larger wedding reception...over 500 friends/family members celebrated with us!  We are so lucky to have such amazing friends and family.

We recently bought a new house in a quiet neighborhood and we've been working hard on painting and redecorating

We have been married now for 4 years and have been trying to have biological children for over 3 years.  Although we have been able to get pregnant (with the help of fertility treatments), all of the pregnancies have ended in miscarriage.  We believe that our struggles with infertility will make us treasure, even more, the children we adopt.

Paul and I both have large families.  Most of my family lives in Hugoton, including 5 of our 11 nieces and nephews!  One of my brothers and his family live in Virginia.

Paul's mom lives in Newfoundland, Canada.  His dad, step-mom, and younger sister live in Salina, KS.  His older brother and his family live in Wichita, KS.

We have two dogs, Bruce and Josie. They couldn't have any more opposite personalities, but they are very much a part of our family!

We love to spend time together, and our favorite things to do together are travel, hang out with friends, and cheer for the Denver Broncos!

Our Promise

We promise to love your child unconditionally.  We promise that your child will always know that the adoption plan you made for them was done entirely out of love and a commitment to give them a better future.  We promise you will always be spoken of with great respect, admiration, and love.  We promise to love and raise your child in a way that will make you proud of the decision you made.  We promise that you will forever be a part of your child's life.

We are so blessed to be surrounded by a huge circle of loving friends and family.  Your child will be surrounded by many people who will love, support, and encourage her/him throughout their whole life.

Thanks for taking the time to get to know us.  We pray that you find peace in any decision you make regarding your child.
