A Letter from Steven & Kim
Hello from Oklahoma! We are a family of three that loves experiencing new things together. We enjoy getting outside to ride bikes, swim or explore a new park. We also love cuddling up for a movie night with stovetop popcorn. Adoption has always been a part of our plan to grow our family. Thank you for taking the time to get to know us a little better, we are looking forward to meeting you.
A Little About Us
We met at church through a mutual friend and got married less than a year later. Our personalities are very different, but we bring out the best in each other. We have been married for nine years now and recently moved back home to Oklahoma to be closer to our families. In 2018 we were blessed with the birth of our son, Rylan. He is now five years old and can’t wait to be a big brother!
Some of our favorite activities as a couple include movie nights, antique shopping, and eating sushi. As a family, we enjoy camping, volunteering at our church, and playing games together. We rarely miss dinner around the table each night, and enjoy eating a variety of healthy foods. We are most looking forward to getting to celebrate all the milestones with a new little one in our home.
About Steven
Steven is a hard-working, generous and loving father. He is always willing to lend a hand, giving his time and resources. Steven is in a leadership position at his work, where he fits and welds large utility poles.
Outside of work, Steven enjoys spending quality time with his family and friends, going on off-road trips and camping. He spends his free time outside or working in the garage on metal fabrication and vehicle projects. His favorite activities to do with Rylan are bike riding, fishing, and walks with our dogs. Steven’s love and understanding of the Lord has grown tremendously in the past several years. He leads our family to love the Lord and serve others. He is looking forward to sharing his extensive hobbies with your child.
About Kim
Kim is kind, patient and detail oriented. She excels at making our home feel welcoming and keeping everything (and everyone) organized. She enjoys hosting friends and family for dinner, and going above and beyond to make everyone feel special.
Her favorite hobbies include cooking, decorating and antique shopping. Kim loves spending time with Rylan and taking him to experience new things. Her favorite activities to do with Rylan include baking, crafts, and reading.
Kim is passionate about her job working for a non-profit that serves the elderly in our community. She has such a generous heart and always puts others needs above her own. Kim will always make sure your child feels loved and heard. She can’t wait to share her love of reading with them and get to know their sweet personality.
Our Son and Family
Rylan is a playful, loving, and joyful five-year-old. He enjoys playing with his friends and is always putting others first. Some of his favorite things right now are building with magnet blocks and counting. Rylan wants to be just like his dad when he grows up and loves to cook with his mom in the kitchen! We all enjoy reading books together and praying each night before bed.
Both of our families are thrilled to welcome another child through adoption. We have two nephews and one niece who we spend time with often; they are Rylan’s best friends. We are thankful to live less than 30 minutes away from Grandparents, Great Grandparents, Aunts, Uncles, and friends we consider family. Our nephew was adopted, and our best friends adopted their daughter, we have a wonderful support network!
Our Home in Oklahoma
Our community is great for families with tons of activities for children of all ages. We often visit the farmers market on Saturdays or go fishing at a local pond. Our home has four bedrooms and plenty of space for children to play both inside and outside. There is a room ready to be personalized for your child.
We enjoy walks around our neighborhood with our two dogs, Zoey and Mae, and visiting the park close by. Steven enjoys planting a garden in the back yard and smoking meat to share with others. Kim always makes our home feel warm and comfortable for others, she enjoys doing home projects and updates.
Our Promise
We promise to love your child unconditionally and provide all the opportunities they desire. Every day we will laugh, play and read together. Being parents has brought us so much joy and we take the opportunity seriously. We will always honor their relationship with you, and welcome you into our extended family. Your child will learn about the love of God daily. We want you to know that we have already begun praying for you and your child.
We’d love to talk or answer any of your questions. To learn more about us, please call or text Lifetime at 1.800.923.6784.

| Our Dogs | Our pups, Mae and Zoey, were both rescued from a local shelter in Oklahoma. They are very energetic and enjoy all the scratches they can get! We enjoy going on family walks during the week around the neighborhood. | |
| Why Adoption? | We have always had the joint desire to adopt but were never sure of the right timing. Kim had some health complications a couple years ago, and has been advised not to have any more children. After moving back to Oklahoma, we feel that we have a strong support group. We are really looking forward to growing our family through adoption! | |
