Waiting families

Chris + sydney
Dear Birth Parent(s),
We are thankful for you. Thank you for taking the time to get to know us as you select an adoptive family for your child. We can’t imagine how difficult of a decision this must be, but we’re so grateful for
your consideration.
We are Chris and Sydney. We live in Denver, Colorado in a family-friendly neighborhood called Central Park. Here, we have a warm home, wonderful neighbors and lots of parks and pathways to explore. We have one small dog named Ranger. He’s the sweetest little chiweenie you’ll ever meet.
Chris is the Executive Director of Second Wind Fund, a nonprofit organization that provides expedited access to potentially life-saving therapy for youth at risk of suicide. Sydney works on the fundraising
team at Denver Zoo, planning unique events that support the organization’s mission and vision of creating a world where wildlife thrives.
When we first met, there was an instant connection. Not only had we graduated from the same college, we shared a passion for nonprofit work and a very similar sense of humor. It’s been nearly 10 years since that initial spark, and we couldn’t be more in love! We enjoy traveling, cooking, and attending country concerts and sporting events. We love playing golf, tennis, and pickle ball, riding our bikes, going for walks, gardening, and spending our summers outside at our community pool.
To us, family is everything. We are so fortunate to have an amazing family, all within 25 miles of our home. Sydney’s whole family lives in the Denver area. In fact, her sister and brother-in-law also live in
Central Park, just half a mile away. Her brother and sister-in-law live less than four miles away and are expecting their first child soon! We are all so excited to raise our babies together.
Sydney’s parents still live in the same house she grew up in on the southeast side of the city. This is where we got married! Chris’ parents live in Broomfield, Colorado which is just a 30-minute trip up
north.
What’s truly special about our family is how well we get along and how much we love spending time together. Sunday dinners are a tradition, and most every holiday, you will find us all together. Growing our family will make these occasions even more special.
We cannot wait to be parents. It’s been a long and hard journey for us, but completely worth the wait.
From our open hearts and home, thank you.
Sydney + Chris
