A Letter from Alan & Sarah
Hello! We are completely humbled that you are interested in learning more about us! We have been married for 16 years. God lead us to adoption in 2016 after 8 years of infertility. We were blessed to adopt our son, and we’re excited to expand our family once more through adoption. Here we hope you get a glimpse of how we do life during our family time, holiday celebrations, and family travel adventures.
How We Met
We met in college through Alan’s sister, who was friends with Sarah. In the fall of 2005, Alan and his sister traded cell phones, and when Sarah went to text his sister ‘Merry Christmas,’ Alan received the text message instead. We immediately had a connection and began dating shortly after. We have now been together for the last 16 years!
As a family, some of our favorite activities include:
- Hiking in the mountains
- Playing in the waves/building sandcastles at the beach
- Fishing on the river
- Family pizza & movie night every Friday

As Julian continues to grow and develop, we are in contact with and love to share pictures/updates with his birth mother!

As he has more questions about his own adoption and his future siblings adoption, we are prepared to answer honestly and age-appropriately.
