Our Family: A Place of Love, Adventure, and Support

We are a family of three living in beautiful Kenai, Alaska- Ryan, Kylie and Elias. Thanks for taking the time to learn more about us! The three of us love spending time outdoors, whether it’s hiking, fishing, biking, kayaking, snowmachining, or simply taking our dog for a walk, we try to do something outside every day we can. We believe in the power of nature to bring us closer and we cherish these moments of exploration and connection together.

We are high school sweethearts and have now been married for 11 years. We knew early on in our marriage that adoption was our plan to grow our family. Ryan comes from a family full of adoption with his father being adopted and our nieces and nephews.

We were fortunate enough to adopt our son Elias in 2024. He is our world! We are excited to start this process again to continue working towards completing our family and sharing our hearts with another child. We believe that love is what makes a family, and we’re ready to offer a lifetime of love and support to the child we are lucky enough to welcome into our lives.

Ryan is in law enforcement and is currently pursuing a degree in cybersecurity. Kylie is a family nurse practitioner, providing primary care to many in our area. We have developed a great community here in Kenai with friends, neighbors and coworkers.

Our values of loyalty, hard work, integrity, respect, and accountability shape the foundation of our family life, and we’re committed to fostering a loving and supportive environment for our children.
