Our Story
We met online in 2013 and went to a MN Wild game as a fun first date and have been together ever since. At our wedding, we had an adoption contribution fund set up. Adoption has always been in our heads and hearts.
Background Information
About Ryan & Kim (Written By Their Partner)
Kim is, by far, the kindest and most gentle person I have ever encountered. I knew almost instantly upon meeting her that she was just the person I could share my life with. Her glowing personality and unequaled work ethic are two things I admire the most about her. From the beginning, her goal to have a complete family, including children, has been at the forefront of our relationship and our ambitions together. I’ve always known that she will be an amazing mother and a fantastic example of a parent for me and others to look to. Kim always sees the best in people and in the world and we’re all better off knowing someone like her. I couldn’t fathom taking this journey with anyone else. She’s as close to perfect as a human being can get.
When I first met Ryan, I knew he was someone special. His witty, fun personality is what first grabbed my attention. I quickly learned, as humble as he is, that he is multi-talented in varied areas of life: athletic ability, his way with words and his intellect. Ryan is also level-headed and gives great advice, so I look to him when I need to make tough decisions. He has such a loving nature and soft heart. He is also hilarious! That was one thing that I loved about him from the beginning- he can always make me laugh. I know he will be an amazing dad and I’m looking forward to seeing him play with our child, reading stories with character voices (another one of his hidden gifts), and having meaningful talks with our child about the world.
