Hello! Our family lives in a suburb outside Washington, DC and we have two biological daughters - we are very excited to add to our family through adoption! We have been happily married for nine years and are best friends who enjoy traveling together to places both near and far. We are a family who doesn't like to sit still and is always on the move! We are energized by adventure, powered by ice cream, and firmly committed to following Christ and raising our children to love Him and love others. Come explore our profile to learn more of who we are!
Kenny was born and raised in Southern California. After graduating law school, he moved to Washington, DC where he met and married Abby. He loves history, presidential trivia, and reading. (He read 152 books last year!) His favorite things to do with our children are "Daddy Daughter Donut Dates" on Saturday mornings and taking them to amusement parks to share his love of roller coasters!
Kenny's family lives in Southern California. His parents have been married for 56 years and are "Yaya and Grandad" to the grandkids. His dad is a retired dentist and his mom is a retired teacher. Kenny has one sister who is a pediatrician who lives in California and has two kids. We love to travel to Kauai as a family and try to do so every other year. We also enjoy playing golf together and going to the beach!
Kenny has a bachelors degree in political science and a law degree. (juris doctor) He now works for the federal government.
We LOVE to travel! The moment we get back from one trip, we start planning the next one. Whether its a road trip to a location a few hours away or an international adventure, we love it all! Our children have been traveling with us from a very early age so they are excellent co-adventurers. Our favorite long trips have included Turks and Caicos and Kauai. And our favorite short trips are to our favorite waterpark in southern Virginia and a road trip to New York City at Christimas time.
Abby was born in New York and raised in Southern California. After graduating college, she moved to Washington, DC where she met and married Kenny. She loves running marathons, doing craft projects, and gardening. (She is currently trying to grow lemons in our dining room!) Her favorite things to do with our children are giving the girls mini-manicures at "Mommy's Nail Salon" and taking a picnic lunch to the neighborhood swimming pool.
Abby has a big family who lives all over the world! She has three brothers and two sisters who live in California, Seattle, and Mexico. Abby's parents have been married 40 years and are "Grammie and Pop Pop" to the grandkids and live in Southern California. Abby's dad is a pastor and her mom is a teacher. When they retire, Abby's parents intend to move to Virginia so they will be closer to their grandkids and be a strong support system for our family. Abby's family enjoys playing board games together and the girls love to visit Grammie and Pop Pop's cabin in the mountains.
Most notably, out of Abby's five siblings, four are adopted! As a result, Abby has a keen understanding of adoption and her family is beautifully diverse as a result!
Abby has a bachelor's degree in Political Science and a Masters in Business Administration. She now works in advocacy at a trade association.

We live in a suburb outside of Washington, D.C. in a 4-bedroom townhouse. Our neighborhood has many culturally-diverse families, a community swimming pool, and a huge park across the street. There are also nearby creeks that are perfect for exploring and throwing rocks! We enjoy walking to the playground in our neighborhood. The swings are a big favorite!
The girls have a play area in our house with fun toys and puzzles, as well as a dollhouse, basketball hoop, and art table. We are big fans of crafts and legos!
We are family that does not like to sit still! Our world revolves around adventure and exploring fun new things around our city and region. Its a blessing to be near Washington, DC where we can always find an old favorite like the National Zoo or the Natural History Museum, or something new! When hanging out around the neighborhood, we love to ride our scooters to the pool, have a water balloon fight in the driveway, or walk to the library that is across the street. We try not to overcommit the kids or our family so we limit the kids to two activities at a time so we have enough bandwidth to hop in the car and go somewhere! The one commitment that stays consistent in our week is Sunday morning church, where we worship and serve together as a family.
