Matthew and Suzie

As we write these few lines to you, we are filled with emotion because our lives have already been unbelievably blessed through open adoption. We would love to get to know you and your heart and hopes for your child. Our home is open should you feel led to walk this out with us. We hope to lean on our shared experiences as we navigate this process together. You are already in our prayers…
