Hi, we are Rylan and Andrew from Northern California. We are so incredibly thankful to you for your strength, bravery, and openness in considering us as adoptive parents.
From the moment we met, we have always talked about adoption and building a family. Unfortunately, we haven’t been able to have a family of our own, but adoption was always in our plan. We want to build our family out of love, compassion, and openness. Family goes beyond blood and is built on a desire to love. We have wanted to become parents for a long time now and couldn’t be happier in starting this journey. We hope your journey leads you to the right choice for you and your family.
Parenthood is all about the journey…the journey to grow in relationships, to learn and to teach one another, and leave a positive impact in some way. We are excited to begin this new chapter in our lives and share our passions with our future child. They will be in a home filled with love, music, and art. Our journeys will take us to parts of the world where we can learn about culture and other ways of life. We want to cultivate a place where they will be open to explore and become their best self.
About Us: It started with a profile on Match.com that had the heading of “a mix between Sheldon and Howard,” from the Big Bang theory. A few days later and messages sent back and forth, we met up for a movie. Ever since then, we have been by each other’s sides.
Marriage was discussed early on in our relationship, but neither of us imagined a formal or conventional approach to that next step in our lives. We proposed to each other on Valentine’s Day in 2014 and four months later we exchanged our wedding vows with just the two of us present in Florence, Italy!
We love to go on adventures around the world and explore new foods, cultures, and landmarks. We truly enjoy the cinema and one of our mottos is “There is nothing like a good movie”. We love to watch a movie that makes us laugh. We both love to cook and are always up to try a new recipe!
