Waiting families

BRENNAN + MICHELLE

Dear birth parent,

We are humbled that you are considering us to be the adoptive parents of your child and thank you for taking the time to read through our family profile.  We hope to provide you with insight to who we are as a couple and individually. We are excited about growing our family. It is something that has been a calling for us since we met.  We have made the decision to adopt because we have seen the power and love of adoption through our family and friends.  We want to provide your child with a home filled with love, encouragement, curiosity, and fun.

Both of us were born in Colorado, but now call Wyoming our forever home.  Michelle moved here in 2014 and Brennan came in 2018, both for work.  Michelle was in retail management and Human resources for 12 years before becoming the Human Resources administrator for a large school district.  Brennan has been in education his entire adult life and has been a School Psychologist for the last 9 years.  

We live in Wyoming and have been together for 3 years and married in 2020.  We met online and both swiped right, and Brennan persisted through Michelle’s cancellations (nerves).  Our first date was going to trivia at a brewery, and that has become one of our favorite things to do.  Michelle likes to say that it was Brennan’s way of making sure she was smart before a second date.

We are both close to our families and make spending time with them a priority.  Both of us have big extended families and they will also provide a lot of love and support for our growing family.  Our families taught us about unconditional love, work ethic, how to have fun, and to do good in the world.

Our life wouldn’t be complete without our dog, a black lab named Mingo.  Mingo brings us joy every day, has a great sense of humor, and loves to snuggle.  We enjoy taking her on road trips and to the park.  Mingo loves all people and animals and thinks everyone is her new best friend.

We enjoy travelling, sightseeing, hiking, watching movies, going to trivia, and spending time with our families.  We love working around the house together, gardening, and renovation projects.  We love our house; it is a historic house that is almost 90 years old with so much character and has withstood generations. There is so much room to grow in our house, and this child will have its own space and be welcomed with love.

Becoming parents is something we dream about, and we know that we can provide your child with a home filled with love, support, encouragement, jokes, and learning.  We believe in education and the value of learning.  There are so many things to experience and to see, and we want to support our future child with that.  We also believe in doing good in the world, taking care of others, and finding the joy in everyday life.  We want to support a child and provide them with opportunities to grow, learn, ask questions, and live out their dreams.

We look forward to getting to know you, communicating your child’s milestones, sharing pictures, and are open to a relationship as we travel down this road of adoption together. Thanks again for learning about us, we really appreciate all you are doing to help us grow our family.

Michelle and Brennan
