Jackson 7 yr
Jackson is our oldest and our biological child. He is all about tractors, semis, and Legos! He is a protective and nurturing big brother and it’s fun to watch him interact with his siblings. Jackson has a tender heart and is always looking out for the needs of others.
Jeremiah 4 yr
Jeremiah came into our family through adoption. He is outgoing, full of endless energy, and always up for an adventure. His big smile and big personality always light up any room he walks into. Jackson and Jeremiah share a very special brotherly bond and it is clear that they were meant to be brothers.
Sofia 3 yr
Sofia also came into our family through adoption. She came into our family without warning when we got a call that not only had we been chosen by her birth mom, but that she was already born and waiting for us! Just like her entrance into our family, she is a whirlwind of energy, spunk, and sassiness. She is one tough cookie with two older brothers and keeps up with whatever they are doing, never wanting to miss out on the action!

Hello! We are Micah and Achelle, along with our three amazing kiddos - Jackson, Jeremiah, and Sofia. Thank you for taking the time to look at our family profile. We have been married for tweleve years and have been blessed with our three amazing children, We have been blessed twice by the gift of adoption as we excited to welcome another child into our home and family. Our house is often loud and crazy but full of love and memories to last a lifetime.
We first met during our Freshman year in college, initially connecting through mutual friends and playing intramurals together. Micah noticed Achelle right away and thought she was cute and sweet. Achelle was attracted to Micah's lighthearted and goofy personality. We grew closer and began dating. Throughout college, we enjoyed studying together in the library, taking walks around campus, and became better friends. Two years later, Micah proposed, and we married a few months later in July of 2013. After college graduation, we settled in Micah's hometown in Wisconsin to be near family. Over the past twelve years of marriage, we've learned to lean on one another and grow in both the good and hard times. We credit our strong marriage to our foundation in Jesus and our commitment to love one another daily.
We believe life is best lived together in the everyday - whether it be doing dishes, yard work, playing with the kids, or relaxing together on a family vacation. Our goal each day is to cherish the small things and enjoy each moment we are given with each other. We strive to create a home that is full of love, respect, and laughter. We love to spend time together and enjoy being outdoors. As a family, we enjoy bike rides, board games, camping, playing in our yard and just being together! We are a homeschool family, which allows us to have a lot of flexibility in our days. It’s a huge blessing for our children to be together daily and develop deep relationships with one another.
Micah comes from a big, close-knit family with many relatives living in our town. Micah's family is full of laughter and affection, and we cherish our many family gatherings. We are blessed that Micah's parents, lovingly known as Papa and Nana by our kids, live just down the road on their family farm. We visit their farm often where the kids enjoy outdoor play with cousins and many tractor rides. Micah's family has embraced our adoption journey with support, showing love for each of our children equally. Adoption is rooted in Micah's family, with several relatives having chosen to adopt.

I work as a Business Analyst at a family friendly company. I enjoy my job and the work-life balance that it offers.
Favorite Tradition: We have pizza with my family nearly every Friday night, a tradition we call "Pizza Friday." It's a relaxed time for us to hang out as a family and watch the cousins play together for the evening at the farm.
Hobbies/Interests :I love sports, photography, grilling, eating pizza, playing with my kids, and hanging out with family and friends.
How Micah Describes Achelle:
Achelle is my closest friend and life simply wouldn't be the same without her. Achelle is kind, loving, and thoughtful. She is a devoted wife and mother, nurturing our family not only with love, but with a ton of delicious meals! Achelle is a highly motivated person and works hard in all she does. Her selflessness and love for our family are truly remarkable.
She enjoys music and plays drums and percussion and regularly plays drums on our church worship team, which is so fun to watch! In her free time, she loves running, making food, being outdoors as much as possible, and spending time with family and friends. Achelle is able to stay home with our kids and has started homeschool - she does an amazing job at meeting our kids’ needs and caring for them each day!
Achelle's family is spread across the United States. Though we don't get to see each other frequently, Holiday gatherings are always filled with joy as we catch up and enjoy spending time together. Achelle's parents, called Grandpa and Grandma by our kids, live about an hour away. They play an active role in our kids' lives, often attending their soccer games, visiting for a fun Saturday together, or taking the kids for a weekend sleepover at their house. Achelle's family wholeheartedly supports our adoption journey and loves each of our children unconditionally.
I am a stay-at-home mama and now a homeschool mama! I love being able to be with my kids daily and teach them. It's a blessing to be home and to have the opportunity to watch them learn and grow each day.
