Brad & Lauren

Hi! We are Brad and Lauren! 

Brad is a mechanical engineer who is the perfect balance of intelligence and fun. He is hard-working but also silly and playful! He is great at making funny puns and entertaining with his storytelling and voice impressions. He is very family-oriented, a fantastic role-model, and a supportive and loving partner. 

Lauren has dedicated her career to helping others. She has spent nearly ten years working as a speech-language pathologist, often with children who have special needs. She now specializes in working with children with Down syndrome and speaks Spanish, which allows her to connect with even more families in the community. Lauren is immensely creative and playful, but also fiercely protective of those she loves.

To describe life in our household, one could easily call us kids-at-heart. We find time to catch up on the latest Disney movies, we make room to play “Maltese in the Middle” with our pup, and rock the house with our karaoke. But, underneath all of that energy is a deep love of our family and a welcoming to have it grow. We are passionate about adoption and are ready. Our hearts are filled with love that we want to share.
