Cara and Ryan
We're looking to adopt a baby
Hi! We are Cara and Ryan. We are so thankful and honored that you’re considering us! We want to do our best to connect with and empower you to make the best decision possible for both you and your baby.
We first met (or so we thought!) one summer at the beach, while we were both in high school. Several years later, we were assigned as co-counselors at a summer day camp and this is where we became friends before going away to college. After college, we reconnected and started dating. That’s when we found out that we had actually met in preschool (with pics to prove it), so essentially, we have known each other most of our lives. We got married in 2012 and had a New Year’s Eve wedding where we celebrated with friends from all over the country.
We both love kids and have so much love to give. We have a great life and constantly laugh together. We have a lot of fun, but feel like our family isn’t truly complete without a child. We’ve talked about adoption ever since we began dating. We’re so excited to begin this journey. We can’t wait to expand our family and to welcome a baby into our hearts and lives!
