Hello!
We are Katy and Justin from Louisiana. We hope this gives you a glimpse into our lives, our values, and the love we have for each other and our future family
Katy
Justin
We are a laid-back, loving couple who enjoy sharing life’s adventures together
Justin runs his own electrical business, while Katy works as an accountant from home.
Together, we love going to concerts, watching movies, and traveling to explore new places. Our relationship is rooted in love, friendship, and mutual support as we work toward our goals and dreams.
our love story
We met in the summer of 2011 through a mutual friend, and from the start, it was clear that we were meant to be together. During our first year of dating, we attended six weddings, and everyone kept asking when it would be our turn. While we didn’t marry right away, our connection was undeniable, and thirteen years later, we are still best friends who love spending time together
3 years married
13 years together
forever in love
our plans as parents
We will love any child fiercely and supportively. Our goal is to raise them in a happy, loving, and fun childhood while instilling the skills and boundaries for them to become successful, independent adults. Whether they want to pursue sports, music, or something unique like collecting antiques, we want a child to explore whatever their passions end up being. We will learn about and foster their interests. We value education, and believe a child's emotional intelligence is just as important. We are excited to raise a child who is independent, confident, and kind.
We are fortunate that both of our jobs are flexible. Justin is able to make his own hours and Katy works from home. We’ve structured our life to be able to not have to find outside childcare at least for the first year, but ideally, until they become school-aged.
why we decided to adopt
We have always known our family wouldn’t feel complete until we were parents. Since Katy had chemotherapy as an infant, it’s always been a strong possibility of not having biological children.
After a taxing miscarriage that led to complications, a pregnancy now poses significant health risks for both Katy and a baby. We went into our relationship knowing that adoption may be a part of our path to parenthood and feel blessed to welcome a baby into our home and heart in whatever way that comes to be.

"I’ve known Katy since high school, and her unwavering support through life’s challenges has always amazed me, especially during my own battles with bullying and cancer. Justin, from the moment they began dating, has shown the kind of quiet, compassionate love that you dream about. I’ve seen firsthand how they nurture their nieces and nephews, always keeping them engaged, happy, and loved. I have no doubt they will be incredible parents to any child lucky enough to join their family."
