Meet Bill and Michelle

You should be proud of the decision you are making about placing your child for adoption. This act shows that you are a loving, caring, and courageous person for making this selfless and unconditional decision. As the parents of a 3-year-old son, we understand your concern to find the perfect adoptive parents committed to providing your baby with unconditional love, affection and opportunities in life. We hope you will take the time to read our profile and learn why it is important for us to adopt your baby. May God be with you.

We enjoy planting our gardens in the spring, camping and swimming in the summer, and going to the fall festival to carving pumpkins in the fall. We're active even in winter with sledding and snowmobile riding. And we cannot forget Will's favorite activities: mowing grass and shoveling snow. He just moves the snow around and Mommy and Daddy have to do the real work to get the mini van out of the garage. And we hope he will want to really mow the grass when he is old enough to do it.

We take small weekend trips through out the year - camping, going to bike races to cheer Bill on and to visit family members. We also have several vacation traditions as well. Each summer we spend a week with Bill's mom at her lake house in Maine. There we get to swim, play in the lake and (new this past year) to take a ride in our new boat. It is amazing how a small air inflated boat can whisk away 3 people for some fun.

Michelle grew up in small town, and is the oldest of four children. She is very affectionate and loving person. She is outgoing, fun-loving and would do almost anything for a friend. Her main focus in life is to be a good mother and wife. She is very close with her parents, siblings, nieces, and nephews. Holidays and family events are usually celebrated by large gatherings of her immediate family and her large but close-knit extended family. When she is not visiting with her family, she stays in touch with family members via Facebook and frequent phone conversations.

Michelle is considered the family photographer, which is why she is not in a lot of our pictures. She enjoys creating digital scrapbooks of Will, special occasions, and family gatherings. She enjoys traveling in the USA and Europe. Her hobbies include: baking, arts & crafts, gardening, and home improvement projects. She puts her undergraduate and graduate degrees in mechanical engineering to use by working various home improvement project such as building a swing set and tree house for Will.

Bill grew up traveling with his parents and spent time studying in Europe during high school and college. As a child Bill spent the summers with his parents at their lake house in Maine. He is a very athletic person and played baseball and football in school. He took to road bike racing as an adult (Lance Armstrong want-a-be!). Bill enjoys bicycle racing at the master's level. He has competed and won in races across the USA. Two years ago he won the best all around rider award for his age category in our area. He has won this award for every age category since he was 20 years old. Of course he has taught Will how to ride a bike at 2 years old, with training wheels of course!

Please take the time to look through our photos and see for yourself the love, fun and togetherness we have as a family.

We hope to hear from you soon and answer any questions you may have.

May you always know in your heart the gift of love that you did something so wonderful for someone who knows they could not give themselves, a wonderful child.
