Hello, we are Stephen and Michelle! We met in Dallas in our late 20’s as young professionals, eager and hopeful to find love and start a family. Stephen is an entrepreneur and business owner who grew up sailing and boating, and Michelle, now a stay-at-home mom, is a speech-language pathologist by profession with a passion for helping people find their voice again.
We both come from close-knit families where Jesus, love, and community are at the heart of everything. Our Catholic Christian faith is a joyful part of our daily life, and we love living out the liturgical year—bringing feast and fast days, and holy celebrations into our home. As a family, we also love breaking bread with our friends—opening our home for dinners, rosary potluck nights, or just-because pizza on Fridays!
As a family of four, we cherish our annual trip to Broken Bow, Oklahoma, beach days with the kids, and birthday celebrations that are anything but small! We love filling our home with laughter, friends of all ages, and plenty of cake!
The Lord placed adoption on our hearts several years ago, and He has guided us step-by-step to this very moment. In His perfect timing, He made it clear that adoption was His plan for our family.
Michelle has held close to Luke 1:45: “Blessed is she who believed that the Lord would fulfill His promises to her.”With all our hearts, we believe the Lord will fulfill His promises, not only to us, but to you as well. Please know we have been praying for you, and many of our friends and family are prayer warriors lifting you up each day. We already hold you close in our hearts.
