Adam

I have always wanted to have a large family. One of the first things I told Alexis when I met her was that I wanted to have at least four children. We were blessed with our son, Mason, quickly after getting married. She had a horrible pregnancy and then a 28 hour labor that ended in an emergency C-section.  Even with all of this we knew wanted to have more children, but unfortunately had a horrible time getting pregnant. Alexis went through multiple failed rounds of fertility treatment.  During that time we talked a lot about adoption and we were starting to look into it when Alexis found out she was pregnant. We found out shortly later that Alexis was pregnant with twins! We were nervous but so excited, we were able to hear the heartbeats and see both babies squirming around. We went to our next ultrasound appointment so excited to see them again, unfortunately, we were told both babies had died. Alexis miscarried for multiple days and then eventually I had to rush her to the hospital for an emergency surgery. We found out that Alexis has a rare condition in which her uterus is misshaped and it makes it very difficult to have a healthy pregnancy.  After her miscarriage we talked a lot, we know our family is not complete. And we felt that the right thing was to pursue adoption as we had talked about prior. We are so excited to start this journey and to build our family. 

As a state trooper, I take pride in serving my community and keeping people safe. I enjoy the challenges and rewards of my job, and I feel a sense of purpose knowing that I make a difference in people's lives. When I'm not working, I love to stay active. I'm an avid runner, and I also enjoy hiking and exploring the great outdoors. I've always been a huge sports fan. But I especially like baseball, I love to watch games and follow my favorite teams. I also enjoy spending time with my family and playing games with them. I love to watch my son Mason grow and learn, and I'm always looking for new ways to bond with him. I make sure to be there for him, to support him, and to help him navigate through life. Being a dad is the most rewarding experience of my life. My faith is an essential part of who I am. It provides me with a moral compass and gives me strength and guidance in both good times and bad. I strive to instill these values in my children, so they can grow up to be kind, compassionate, and responsible adults. 

As for my future children, I look forward to teaching them the things I've learned and watching them grow up to be strong, independent, and compassionate individuals. I want to show them the importance of family and encourage them to pursue their dreams. I know that being a dad comes with challenges, but I'm ready for them, and I can't wait to see what the future holds.

From the very beginning, I knew that Adam was the one for me. He is kind, patient, and always puts our family first. He is an amazing person and always knows how to make me laugh. Our relationship is built on trust, respect, and a deep understanding of each other. What makes Adam such a wonderful partner is his unwavering love and support. He always puts our family first, and he is an incredible father. He is patient, kind, and always willing to lend a listening ear or a helping hand. Adam is so loving and patient with Mason, always taking the time to listen to him and teach him new things. He is a true partner in parenting, and we work together as a team to create a safe and happy home for our family. Watching the two of them interact melts my heart every time. Adam is always there for us, no matter what.

Adam is my rock, my best friend, and the love of my life. I can't imagine going through life without him by my side. I am grateful every day for the love that we share and the beautiful family that we have built together. I am so lucky to be married to such an incredible man. I love him more than words can express, and I am grateful for him every single day.
