Our Story
We met when we were just teenagers, not even knowing we were beginning a lifelong journey together. Initially, we took things slow with our relationship and placed emphasis on building a friendship. It was incredibly evident that we had a connection with each other, and it did not take long to fall in love. We have been fortunate to have over a decade of love, laughter, curveballs, and life experiences by each other’s sides. We are happily married, own a home in a welcoming community, and have 5 beautiful rescue animals.
From the moment we first began discussing starting a family, adoption has always been part of those conversations. We both come from families who have adopted, and those experiences have greatly shaped our views and ideals that we hold around how we want to grow our family.
Background Information
About Breanna and Hayden (Written By Their Partner)
Breanna about Hayden:
I feel so honored to have Hayden as my best friend, twin flame, and life partner. When Hayden and I both met I never imagined it would be for a lifetime. From our first hangout watching the movie "Stepbrothers" to our first date at a high-school play. Our relationship has always ebbed and flowed in support depending on what type of emotional or work load we may have as individuals. Which has helped us build our communication as well as making sure we are both getting the support we need as individuals in our relationship.
What I love about Hayden is that he is always available to comfort anyone who needs it. Whether it’s being an open ear for someone to be heard, helping someone use their voice to advocate for themselves, or using one of the unlimited amount of puns he knows to make anyone laugh.
Hayden also is such a gentle, patient, and fun loving individual which I admire and inspires me. From teaching our nieces and nephews something new, making my Pinterest ideas a reality when it comes to woodworking, to creating playlists and making up the words in songs for our dogs to sing and dance with them.
Hayden’s caring nature and advocacy for others would translate from his day to day life into parenting. He would be a nurturing, patient, and supportive father to the child’s growth and development. While providing constant love and resources for the child to encourage and support them in having the best life possible in whatever way that looks like for them.
Hayden about Breanna:
I feel so lucky to have Breanna not only as my life-partner, but as my best friend. She inspires me on the daily and I admire her strengths, passions, and joys. Breanna is my biggest supporter, the one who always encourages me, makes me laugh, and loves me unconditionally.
Breanna has so much love in her heart and will go above and beyond for anyone she cares for. She has this ability to make a person feel seen, valued, and appreciated. It’s another one of the many qualities I admire about her.
Seeing Breanna interact with our nieces and nephews fills my heart up with so much joy. Her fun-loving spirit and loving nature creates a warm and welcoming environment for any child. There is no doubt in my mind, Breanna will be an incredible mother who will always put her child first, love unconditionally, and will be their biggest advocate.
I could not imagine tackling life with anyone else and I absolutely love the little life we have built together. Every life experience Breanna and I have had together has brought us to this very moment in time, starting our family.
A Message From Us Both
We would like to start with a sincere thank you for viewing our story. Though we do not know each other and cannot imagine the difficulty of your decision, we admire your strength, resilience, and courage.
We promise to have an open and honest relationship with you, the child, and each other. We will raise them in an environment of body positivity, open communication, and unconditional love and support. In our home, they will have healthy structure/boundaries, but also have the ability to express themselves and live their authentic selves. We will always encourage and support them in achieving their goals and dreams and will celebrate life’s big and little moments.
We will also be mindful knowing that we will not always have the answers and will need support at times, and will ensure that we build a community that looks like them and makes them feel seen.
Most of all, we promise to create and maintain an environment that is filled with unconditional love, support, laughter, and to continue to make memories as a family.
