We have made a concerted effort to build a great network of friends in the Seattle-area since moving to Washington in 2020. We spend time with them for weekly potlucks and game nights, as well as bonfires and trips to the coast. This area is full of lush greenery and beautiful bodies of water in the summer to play outdoors, and in the rainy winter months, we put a fire in the fireplace and watch our favorite holiday movies. Our friends are our chosen family and we appreciate each uniqueness they bring into our lives; their support of our family building is unwavering.

We also have 2 small senior rescue dogs, London and Spike, who are as affectionate and loving as they come. They also can’t wait to add to our family, sniff little feet and be their protectors.
“Joanna and David not only maintain a household that is safe and welcoming, but also exemplify what it means to be supportive and nurturing. I see in them critical qualities that will enable a child’s social, emotional, and cognitive abilities to flourish. A child joining their family will be showered with love as well as provided a solid foundation from which to grow into confident adult.” ~ Our friend, Lindsay
“In the time we’ve known joanna and david they’ve shown generosity, compassion, kindness, and support. Since I met joanna in 2018, she has wanted to be a mom, and I know that dream was present years before that. When we were lucky enough to have joanna and david move to the same city, we got to know them both on a deeper level. They are genuinely authentic, caring, empathetic, and thoughtful people who would guide, nurture, and love any child who is in need of a safe and trustworthy home. As a mom myself, I know that it’s not the children who are born, but the parents. I know in my heart that joanna and David are ready for this miraculous gift to embrace the journey and allow their children to be their true essence.” ~ Jenny + Eric
