Hello & Thank You,  


We Are Matt, Brittni, Braelyn, and Noah!

So, who are we really? We are an "always on the go, planning countless trips to the waterpark" type of family. We're full of joy and laughter, and we treat every day as a blessing. Whether it's making a late-night ice cream run in our jammies or cozying up for bedtime snuggles, we savor the simple moments together. We're excited to add another member to our crew and share more Disney adventures, backyard campfires, morning coffee and muffins, and all the love we have to offer.


Our journey hasn't always been easy, but it has deepened our relationship and strengthened our faith. From a young age, adoption was something we talked about, prayed for, and felt called to pursue. We've been blessed to have loved ones in our family who are adopted, and we know firsthand how love transcends all circumstances, unconditional and boundless. Coming from large families with close-knit sibling and parent relationships, we've always known we wanted children to fill our hearts and home.


We have one biological child, Braelyn, who fills our lives with indescribable joy. After complications following Braelyn's birth and the life-saving measures that were needed, we are unable to carry another child. After years of prayers, opening our hearts to foster children, and difficult decisions, God led us to pursue adoption. In 2022, we were blessed beyond measure to welcome our sweet little guy, Noah, into our family through adoption. His arrival forever changed our lives in the best possible way, and we are so thankful to have him and his birth family as part of our story.


As parents, our main goal has always been and will always be to embrace the uniqueness and individuality of our children. We are their biggest cheerleaders, helping them grow, thrive, and know the deep blessing they are to us. Each child is gifted with their own strengths and interests, and it is our mission to create a loving, safe space where their creativity can flourish and where they always feel comfortable sharing their hearts, passions, and dreams. We promise to provide a joyful, loving home where they can be silly, radiate their true selves, and feel completely at peace.


We are beyond excited to continue this beautiful journey and add another child to our family, creating lasting memories and traditions that will span the years.


We cannot begin to fully understand the selfless and brave choice you have made in choosing adoption for your child, but we hope that, as you get to know us, you will find comfort, support, and reassurance in each step of this journey.


Sincerely,


Matthew & Brittni

Dan is the most amazing person on the planet. He is everything that I ever wanted in a husband, and our son, Garrett, is so lucky to have him as a father. He is kind, patient, and hard-working. He loves to spend his free time playing with Garrett and teaching him new things. I am 

so proud of the parent he is; Dan was meant to be a father.

  • Our Story

    We were high school sweethearts and have been together since 2008, though our story began even earlier. We first met in middle school during a talent show that Matt's sister helped choreograph. After our brief dance debut, we went our separate ways until fate brought us back together in high school, when we ended up in the same algebra class. Matt sat in front of me and constantly asked to borrow pens and pencils—a habit he still gets teased about! After weeks of chatting and texting, our connection quickly grew, and I truly fell in love.


    Years later, we feel incredibly grateful for the journey we've shared. In December 2015, we were married in a beautiful winter ceremony. Our daughter was a special part of our wedding, pulled down the aisle in a sleigh! The ceremony was held at our church in Cedar Grove and officiated by our pastor, who had supported us through meaningful moments following our daughter's birth.

    

    Our reception took place at a nearby golf course, warmly decorated for the holidays. Since it was St. Nick's Night, Santa even made a visit, creating unforgettable photos and joy among our guests. It was a magical evening filled with love, laughter, dancing, and memories we will always treasure.

  • Meet Braelyn & Noah

    Braelyn is the perfect mix of sporty and stylish! She has a big heart, a love for skincare routines, and a strong sense of self. Whether she's on the soccer field or the basketball court, Braelyn gives her all, playing with confidence and passion. She's also known for her fun fashion sense and loves picking out outfits that show off her personality. Her energy, kindness, and creativity light up our home every day.


    Noah is all boy- always on the go, full of the most precious love, and bursting with personality! He's obsessed with cars, trucks, and anything Spiderman. If there's a basketball nearby, you can be sure Noah's playing with it, dribbling, shooting, or just chasing it around. He brings laughter, adventure, and so much joy to our family, and we love watching his curious and energetic spirit grow.

  • Our Home

    We purchased our home in November 2024, after attending an open house and instantly falling in love. Our home is in a smaller, safe community. Being a newer build, we were able to fill our home with all it needed to become a cozy and safe space for our growing family.

    

    Our home is two-story, with four bedrooms and two and a half baths, including our "lower level lounge" in which we love to have movie nights that always include popcorn! We have a large backyard, complete with a swing set, trampoline, fire table, and a large patio that we use regularly in the summer months, making memories and s'mores that last a lifetime.

  • Our Community

    We live in a small, tight-knit community where neighbors truly know and care for one another. Our area is filled with unique opportunities to make memories together. Each summer, we enjoy spending time at the nearby waterparks—so much so that we always get a season pass!


    We are also lucky to live close to one of the only free county fairs in all of Wisconsin, which has become a tradition we look forward to every year. Local farmers' markets are ALWAYS a must, as we venture to many in our area. Another favorite is attending the many “Breakfast on the Farm” events in our area, where we get to enjoy delicious food and celebrate our local farming community. These experiences, big and small, are a special part of what makes our hometown such a fun and family-centered place to live.

  • Matthew's Family

    Matthew is the youngest in a blended family that includes two older sisters and two older step-siblings. Even after his mom and stepdad divorced, he maintained a close relationship with his stepsister, Gina, and that bond remains strong today. His sisters —Gina (with her husband, Rich, and their two sons), Ashley (with her husband, Tony, and their three sons and one daughter), and Katie (with her three sons)—all live just 20-25 minutes away.


    We feel so fortunate to have them nearby and spend time together often, especially during the summer. Our favorite traditions include weekly get-togethers at theme parks, pools, and beaches, where we soak up the sunshine and create fun memories with our nieces and nephews. We make it a point to plan regular dinner nights and truly treasure watching the kids grow up surrounded by such a loving and supportive extended family.

  • Brittni's Family

    We feel incredibly blessed to live near my immediate family: my mom, dad, and siblings Drew (with his wife and their two daughters), Jeffrey, and Jenna. As the oldest, I grew up surrounded by the energy and love of a larger family. I have always cherished the beautiful chaos of a full house and the strong bonds it created. My two youngest siblings are several years younger, and I loved playing a big role in their lives, cheering them on at school events and watching them grow into the amazing people they are today. That sense of involvement and connection is something we value deeply and hope to carry forward.


    Weekends are often spent with my family trying new restaurants, watching sporting events, and exploring seasonal festivals and local happenings. Even more special is that all of my grandparents live within seven miles of our home, so we enjoy meaningful time with multiple generations regularly. My family is incredibly close-knit and welcoming. Their love is expressed openly and generously, and they have always supported us through every step of our journey. We truly would not be who we are today without their encouragement and unwavering love.

  • Meet Lulu & Wyatt

    Lulu and Wyatt are our two lovable pups who bring endless snuggles and joy to our home. They're full of energy and affection, always ready to chase the kids around the yard with wagging tails and happy barks.

    

    When the excitement winds down, you'll find them curled up next to their humans, soaking in all the cuddles and sneaking in a good nap. They're gentle, loyal, and a big part of the heart of our home.

  • Family Traditions

    Both birthdays and Christmas are huge deals in our family. Since Braelyn and Noah were babies, we have always made sure they feel extra special on their birthdays. This usually involves a special outfit or personalized shirt, planning a party, choosing a favorite dinner spot, and lots of extra snuggles. We love gifting experiences too, from trips to waterparks in the Wisconsin Dells, Build-A-Bear, swimming with dolphins, to visiting the pumpkin patch. Adults in the family get special attention on their birthdays as well.

    

    Christmas in our home starts well before December! The season kicks off with baking sugar cookies and decorating a gingerbread house. Holiday movie nights are a must, especially classics like Elf and The Grinch, always with mugs of hot cocoa in hand. Our mischievous Christmas Elf, Nana, spreads laughter and surprises throughout the house. One of our favorite events is the annual Christmas parade. Christmas itself is a joyful three-day celebration—Christmas Eve with Brittni’s grandma, Christmas Day with her parents and other grandparents, and the day after at Matt’s sister’s house. It is a season full of love, laughter, and memories that last a lifetime.

  • Vacation Time

    Travel is a big part of our family life, and some of our favorite memories come from the adventures we share. Every year, Brittni’s extended family heads to Florida for a week of sunshine, laughter, and connection. Instead of separate hotels, we all stay in one large home, spending days playing pool volleyball, sharing meals, and enjoying quality time together. We love trying new restaurants, exploring local spots, shopping at outlet malls, relaxing at New Smyrna Beach, and visiting Disney parks for a bit of magic.

    

    Another special destination is Noah’s birth town in Arizona. We return often to hike mountain trails, take in desert views, and explore Old Town Scottsdale. These trips help us stay connected to Noah’s roots while creating new, joyful family memories.

  • Nursery Ideas

    We've poured our hearts into imagining a nursery that not only feels safe and comforting but also celebrates the unique energy and joy a child brings into a home.


    Girl...Our idea is a room that will be bold, bright, and full of life! We've planned a colorful, joy-filled space with vibrant walls, loud prints, and fun, boho-inspired touches. Think playful artwork, textured pillows, and funky pops of color in every corner. It's a room designed to spark creativity, laughter, and imagination, a place for you to grow, play, and feel completely loved.


    Boy...We envision this room as a sleek and modern retreat, with clean lines, cozy textures, and a fun edge. We've chosen a palette of cool tones and added bold checkered patterns and large statement prints to give the space a stylish yet playful feel. It's the perfect room for a little adventurer, whether zooming toy cars across the rug or dreaming up the next big ideas.

    Hello & Thank You , My name is Kerstin, and I'm so grateful to you for considering me and my son Malakai as a possible match for you and your child. A single person might not have been your first thought for your child, but I have just as much support and love to give as a couple would have - or even more! My life is rich with family, friends, and opportunities. I have a successful career that provides my family with the resources to explore the world and experience new things. I would love the opportunity to share these wonderful experiences with your child. Malakai (Kai for short) was adopted at birth and is three years old. We have an open relationship with his birth mom and often send her pictures and videos. I am open and committed to whatever type of communication you would like. I want you to know that your child will always know their adoption story and the love you have for them. I am happy to answer any questions you have so that you can make the best decision for you and your baby. As you'll see in this profile, I have a deep love and appreciation for all different cultures, and I love to learn about people and places all over the world. Travel has been a big part of my life, and I also appreciate and value diversity close to home. We live on a street with families of many different backgrounds, and the schools and businesses in our neighborhood also reflect that diversity. I love languages and have studied Spanish and Haitian Creole. The public elementary school closest to our home is a dual immersion bilingual school (Spanish and English). I would love for Malakai and any future child I might have to attend this school because I highly value bilingual language skills and the opportunity to build relationships with classmates and teachers of many different backgrounds. I am committed to honoring and valuing your child's cultural background and ensuring that it is an important part of their daily lives. I pray often for you and your journey. I thank God for you and your decision to consider adoption. I pray for God to give you peace and comfort. Thank you for taking the time to learn more about me and Malakai and see if we might be a good match for you and your child. With Love, Kerstin

    Hello & Thank You , Just saying thank you isn't enough for us to express our gratitude for considering us to be adoptive parents. We cannot begin to understand how difficult this decision is and that it is not taken lightly. No matter your decision, you are in our thoughts and prayers. We are Amanda and Spencer. We have been together over ten years and have been married for three. From the very beginning of our relationship, we talked about starting a family, but God had different plans for us. Unfortunately, Amanda has faced health challenges that have led to infertility, which won't allow us to have our own biological children. Adoption has touched both our lives in meaningful ways. Spencer's mother was adopted, and she is ecstatic that we are pursuing this path. In addition, Spencer has two adopted cousins, and I have one as well. Both of our families are loving and supportive of our decision, and we are all ready to share unconditional love with a child. Since we both have relatives who were adopted, we believe it is important for your child to understand their adoption story from the very beginning. We look forward to sharing with your child just how special they and their birth family are to us. The relationship between a child and their birth family is significant, and we strongly support an open adoption. There is no such thing as too many people to love and support a child. Raised in the Catholic faith, we plan to instill the same values in our future child. We cherish faith, family, community, friendships, and love, and we will teach the importance of hard work and the achievements it can bring. With both our families and friends nearby, your child will be surrounded by a loving network of support. Thank you for the time to read our story and consider us as potential adoptive parents. We wish you peace on this journey and the very best for you and your child. Sincerely, Spencer & Amanda

    Hello & Thank You , Thank you for giving us the opportunity to share a glimpse into our lives. First and foremost, we want to express our deepest gratitude, as being considered in your adoption journey means more to us than you may know. The love you have for your child is undeniable. Though we cannot know the challenges you are facing in making this decision, your love, strength, and courage stand out the most. We truly admire you. We are Luke and Cassi and our four-legged fur baby, Sully. We’ve been together for 16 years and married for 3. After years of infertility, adoption feels like the right path for us. From a young age, we always knew adoption would be part of our journey, and now, after much anticipation, we’re filled with excitement and hope. We truly believe the younger versions of us would be proud of the direction life has taken, and we are eager to open our hearts and home to a child. Adoption is a lifelong bond, and we promise to cherish it. We are committed to creating a safe, loving, and nurturing home where your child can grow, explore, and thrive. We will inspire curiosity, embrace individuality, and encourage them to follow their dreams. We will also surround your child with the people who will love them through life’s challenges and triumphs. Our home will be filled with love, laughter, and family traditions, including cozy nights by the fire, bedtime stories, adventures in our camper, and Sundays by the pool. They would always be encouraged to be their true selves, follow their passions, respect themselves and others, and always know they are valued. We will teach them kindness, empathy, and the importance of family. Most importantly, we will always talk openly and lovingly about the love and sacrifice that led you to choose adoption. We want your child to know how deeply they are loved, both by us and by you. Thank you again for taking the time to get to know us. If we have the opportunity to meet in the future, we would be excited to learn more about you. We know this is not an easy decision, and we are grateful for your consideration. We are keeping you in our thoughts and sending you strength and peace during this time. Sincerely, Luke & Cassi

    Hello & Thank You , Our names are Zack and Lindsay, and we are so grateful that you're considering us to be a potential part of your adoption plan. We can't imagine how hard this is for you or what you're going through. We do understand there’s no way for us to truly grasp the weight of your decision, but we respect and admire your strength and courage. Through this letter and this book, we want to share a little about ourselves with you. We met in 2008, and it was love at first sight. After 6 months of dating, we got engaged and married in 2010. We knew early on in our marriage that we wanted to explore adoption to build a family, and we had lots of love to give. Over time, we grew together, strengthened our love, and prepared our lives and our home to provide a caring, nurturing environment for a new addition to our family. Our adoption journey was difficult due to our issues with infertility, but our motivation to adopt comes from a place of love and a desire to share that love by growing our family. In 2022, we were blessed with adopting a beautiful baby boy, Atlas, who is the light of our lives. It has been our privilege to watch him grow, learn, change, and develop. He’s shown us how wonderful and rewarding adoption can be, motivating us to continue our adoption journey. We have so much respect and admiration for Atlas's birth mom. We regularly share pictures and updates of all Atlas’s changes and activities, and we make sure that he’s aware that we’re sending updates to his birth mom so that as he grows, we can continue to share his adoption story with him. We feel it’s so important that Atlas’s birth mom gets to watch him develop, and we want you to know that we are open to whatever contact you would like. As a family, we want to honor and respect Atlas’s heritage, and one way we’re doing that is by learning Spanish together. Atlas attends a Spanish-speaking school, and we are learning Spanish along with him. We are both driven and have many hobbies, including physical and outdoor activities, reading, cooking, and continuing education. For us, raising children means bringing the most important people in the world along with us on new adventures and learning new skills. We hope this book gives you a look into our lives, who we are as people, who we are as a couple, and who we are as a family. We are thinking of you and wish you well in all you do. Thank you for taking the time to get to know us. Sincerely, Zack & Lindsay

    Hello & Thank You , Thank you for taking the time to view our photobook and consider us as adoptive parents for your baby. We are so excited to be adopting a baby and finally becoming parents. We know you will follow your heart and make the best choice in selecting the family for your baby to join. We are Kristin and Mark, and we have been together since November 2020, married in April 2022. When we first started dating, I shared with Mark that because of my reproductive issues, having a biological child might not be possible. He was very understanding and supportive and open to adoption as a way to start our family. Mark and I are surrounded by a huge support system on both of our sides, who cannot wait to have another child join the family. We have lots of nieces and nephews who are anxiously awaiting the arrival of a new cousin to play with. Our parents are looking forward to having another grandchild to spoil. Your child will be raised in a loving Christian home, guided by values of kindness, compassion, integrity, and the importance of family. They will be loved unconditionally and always have unwavering family support in all they choose to endeavor. We look forward to sharing our love of sports and music while encouraging them to explore their own passions. As we continue deepening our faith, we are committed to becoming more involved in church and look forward to attending regularly as a family. While growing up, we both dreamt of one day having our own family and a child to call us Mom and Dad. We can’t begin to understand how difficult this decision is for you. We are praying for strength and clarity during this time and know you will make the best decision. Thank you again for considering us to be the adoptive parents for your baby. It means the world to us. Sincerely, Mark & Kristin

We admire your strength and courage, and we're grateful that you're considering turning such a difficult situation into a meaningful blessing. We can only imagine how overwhelming this decision may feel, and our hope is that, in the midst of it all, you feel empowered, supported, and surrounded by care. When we first got married, we began trying for a biological child, but after a long and emotional journey, we received the heartbreaking news that growing our family in that way would be extremely difficult. Despite these challenges, we've come through stronger and full of hope. We're now incredibly excited to grow our family through adoption. Welcoming a child through adoption has always been part of our dream of having a big family. We’ve learned so much from close friends and relatives with beautiful adoption stories, and their experiences have only strengthened our desire to take this path. We promise to give your child a loving and stable home filled with warmth, laughter, and endless opportunities. Your child's adoption story will be shared with them from the beginning and will always be embraced and cherished. Please know that we're keeping you in our thoughts and sending you peace as you consider your options. We would be honored to walk this journey with you and your baby. With So Much Love, Zack & Kali

    Hello & Thank You , We know your brain must be on absolute overload right now, but we’d like to take up just a little of your time. We’ll get to the introductions soon, but first, there’s something important we want you to know. We realize this process might not be what you envisioned, but if you choose us to be your child’s adoptive parents, we promise (and we don’t take this word lightly) that they will always know their story and where they come from. More than anything, we hope this can be the start of a lifelong connection, one where you remain a part of their life and ours, for the journey ahead. Now for the introductions. We are Courtney and Miguel, and we live in Wisconsin with our two dogs, Sumo and Delta. We met in college, became friends, and the rest is history. We’ve been together for 14 years and married for 10 years. Adoption has always been a topic of conversation throughout our marriage and has always been our “Plan A” rather than “Plan B.” Miguel was born and raised in Costa Rica, so we know the importance of learning and celebrating your heritage. Because Spanish is such an important part of his culture and family life, we plan to raise our child bilingual. We’re excited to share the language, traditions, and stories I grew up with, and to help them build strong connections with their heritage. One of the phrases that we find to be an important theme in our lives and relationships is “say what you are feeling out loud.” For both of us, communication is key in everything we do. We hope to partner with you in this journey, and we are willing to meet you wherever you feel most comfortable in terms of openness. All our best, Miguel & Courtney

    Hello & Thank You , Thank you for taking the time to learn about us. We can only imagine the love, strength, and courage it takes to create an adoption plan, and we want you to know how much we admire and respect you for it. How do you find the words to write to someone you have not yet met, but already feel such deep love and gratitude for? The opportunity you are providing to help create a family that otherwise would not be is something we will never take for granted. We are truly honored to be considered as potential parents for your child, and we hold this moment with the utmost respect. We are Matthew and Lauren. We met in 2018, and on our very first date, we were already dreaming about having a family. We married in 2021 and quickly began planning to grow our little family. We have two dogs, Olly and Marvel, who we know would love a sibling to play with and protect. After learning that Lauren could not get pregnant, we realized that this was God’s way of guiding us toward something just as beautiful — adoption. Adoption holds deep meaning for us. Matt and his brother were both adopted as young children, and he has always known it would be part of his story, too. We are both incredibly grateful to have loving and supportive families behind us as we grow our family through adoption. From the very beginning, our parents, siblings, and extended families have cheered us on with open hearts. They are all so excited to welcome a new child into our lives and cannot wait to share in the joy. This book is a glimpse into our lives - who we are, the life we’ve built together, and the life we hope to share with a child. We hope you feel the love, laughter, and stability that surround us and our home. If we are chosen, we will raise your child with endless love, support, and a deep respect for where they came from- you! We will speak your name with honor and ensure that your child grows up knowing their story began with love. Sincerely, Matthew & Lauren

    Hello & Thank You , First and foremost, we want to express our heartfelt gratitude for considering us as adoptive parents for your child. We can only imagine how difficult this decision must be, and we want you to know that your love and concern for your child’s future are deeply admired and appreciated. Our names are Claudia and Anthony. We have been together for eight years, married for six, and have known each other for more than twenty-five. Adoption has always been in our hearts. Our plan was to have a biological child first and then adopt, but God had a different plan. In 2020, we experienced a missed miscarriage, and despite trying again naturally, we were unable to conceive. We explored IVF and fertility treatments, but those were also unsuccessful. This path ultimately led us to adoption and to our greatest blessing, our daughter Lucianna, who joined our family in 2023. She is surrounded by love and brings us so much joy every single day. She cannot wait to be a big sister, and we cannot wait to grow our family again through adoption. If you choose us, your child will always know their adoption story and the incredible love and courage behind your decision. From an early age, they will know their adoption story and grow up knowing how truly loved they are by both you and us. We are committed to providing a nurturing, supportive, and joy-filled home. Your child will be surrounded by a large, loving family, supportive friends, and endless opportunities to learn, grow, and follow their dreams. Most importantly, they will always know they are deeply loved and cherished. Thank you again for considering us as part of your adoption plan. We are ready to welcome another child into our family with open arms and an abundance of love. With sincere appreciation and warmest regards, Anthony & Claudia
