Chris & Rachel
About Us
Our journey started in 2011 when we became good friends during
our senior year of high school. We started dating in 2012 and our first
date happened to be one of the worst movies we have ever seen, but by
God’s grace Rachel decided to give Chris another chance so he knew
that she had to be pretty special!
We both are passionate about our jobs. Chris works as a Physical
Therapist Assistant in an inpatient rehab unit at a nearby hospital.
Rachel works at a family-owned furniture store and also does Interior
Design on the side.
We love watching movies and are regulars at the nearby movie
theaters. We really enjoy taking trips with our friends and families. One
recent trip was to the Silver Lake Sand Dunes with two of our close
friends. We also enjoy going to Rachel’s family’s lake house in Michigan.
Another way we like to spend our time is by updating different things in
our house. We have built a little garden
in our backyard where we like to grow
different vegetables. We have also
designed a patio to our backyard which
we love to use during the summer to
have campfires with family and friends.
Our Dog: We have a playful
dog named Oliver. He is an 80lb
goldendoodle who likes to play outside.
He is such a loving dog and is friendly
to new people. He is smart (when he
wants to be… or when there are treats
involved). He is curious and loves to
learn new things. He loves to play
“keep away” and hide and seek.

Our home
Our house is a three bedroom, two bath, ranch style home. We have a patio in the back with a big side yard. We live in a
small subdivision with friendly neighbors and are close to both of our parents. We are located right on the edge of a small
town so we are close to the schools, restaurants, grocery stores, and parks. Our subdivision is perfect to walk the dog or
ride bikes around as the roads are not busy.
About Chris (written by Rachel):
I can’t think of just one word to describe Chris. He is such a loving, supportive,
funny, patient, and dependable person. Chris is handy and loves to work with wood
and complete projects around the house. Chris is always willing to volunteer his time
to help anyone that needs work done. He is passionate when it comes to his job. He
loves being a Physical Therapist Assistant and helping people recover from injuries.
Chris had a patient that had lost motivation when she couldn’t walk anymore from an
injury. He decided to encourage the patient by telling her that if she could meet her
walking goal that he would shave off his beard and it worked because she met her
walking goal. I know all of his qualities will make him a great dad.
About Rachel
(written by Chris):
Rachel is my best friend. She has been with me in good times and in bad and I
know she will always have my back no matter what life throws at us. Rachel is funny,
intelligent, caring, and compassionate. She is always willing to help out friends to
watch their little ones (not just to help our friends, but mostly so that she can watch
Disney movies and spend time with the children). She is goal-driven and action-orient-
ed and she shows this at home and in her family’s business. Once she puts her mind
to something she immerses herself in it and dedicates whatever she can into it. I know
that she will make a great mother because she will dedicate everything she has to a
child to help them reach their goals in life as they grow up. She will love and nurture
them as if they are her own.
our Family
We have a supportive and loving family that live near us.
Rachel’s mom is supportive, loving, and dependable. She
is always willing to help out when we need it. Rachel’s dad
is handy and helps us around our house whenever we have
projects. Chris’ mom is outgoing and nurturing, while Chris’
dad is more reserved and quiet, but he is dependable and will
drop anything he is doing to help if we need something. Rachel
has one brother and Chris has a brother and a sister. Every
holiday we get together with everyone and we even try to go
Black Friday shopping together with both families. Both of
Rachel’s grandmas are still alive and plan to have a big part in
your child’s life. We are incredibly thankful for all the love and Chris’ immediate
family at Christmas
support our families give us. I know our families are so excited
to take this new journey with us and can’t wait to be a part of
your child’s life.
Our Friends: We have had a large group of friends
ever since high school. Before we started dating, we each had
separate groups of friends. However, during our senior year of
high school the two groups seemed to merge together and we
have all been close ever since. As the years go by, our group of
friends continues to grow through marriages and children. We
see our friends often and get together at least once a week just
to hang out, play games, or help each other out with projects.
Our friends are like family to us. Chris, his brother, and his cousin Rachel, Rachel’s mom, and
at a family get together Chris at Christmas

Dear Birthparent(s),
We would like to thank you for considering
us as a potential match. The decision you are
making is admirable. We have always wanted to
be parents and we are willing to welcome a child
of any race, ethnicity and background to fulfill our
lives and will try to incorporate their culture into
their everyday lives to the best of our ability. We
both feel strongly that adoption is the right path
for us to take to complete our family. We value
honesty, trust, and respect in our household. We
want you to know that we will always be supportive
and loving to your child and that we will always
encourage them to follow their dreams. We are
excited to start this new journey and hope to start
it with you!
Sincerely,
Chris & Rachel
Why Adoption
We have always wanted to have
children and after struggling with infertility for
approximately three years, we began looking
into adoption. After researching and hearing
other testimonials about adoption, we discovered
Building Blocks and feel that adoption is the path
that God has placed us on. We are excited for
this next step in our journey together and cannot
wait to complete our family. We will love and
nurture a child of any race, ethnicity, or gender
as if he/she is our own.
