Hi, we are Clint and Stephanie! Thank you for taking the time to read our profile and get to know us a bit more as prospective parents. We are excited to share our hearts with you.

We first met in 2013 through an intramural volleyball league at our church. Life took us in different directions for a while, but in 2019, our paths crossed again and this time we both knew God had given us a second chance to find each other. We met up for a first date and talked for hours, full of laughter, great conversation, and a...

I grew up as the oldest of three brothers, which naturally made me the built-in protector, problem solver, and ringleader of fun. From an early age, I learned the importance of looking out for others and taking responsibility—traits that have stuck with me throughout my life. Sports were a huge part of my upbringing, especially football. I played for as long as I can remember and later worked for my college football team, an experience that taught me teamwork, discipline, and confidence as a leader.

I grew up as the second oldest of four kids, and from an early age I took pride in being the dependable one—the sister who could be counted on to set a good example and help bring everyone together. I’ve always had a big heart for people and love encouraging others to be their best! Growing up, I poured that energy into a variety of things—sports, academics, and even theater! I played everything from soccer and volleyball to basketball and loved challenging myself with things out of my comfort zone like art.

We live in a beautiful, newly master-planned community in the suburbs, and have called it home since 2021. It’s truly an ideal place to raise a family, with walking trails, multiple playgrounds, a community pool, and a splash pad that’s perfect for littles! Just around the corner are the local elementary and junior high schools, as well as the district football stadium, creating a wonderful sense of community and school spirit. We love visiting the nearby farmer’s market on Saturday mornings when the...

We both come from large, loving families, and family has always been at the center of our lives. Even though some of our relatives live in different states, we stay closely connected and make time for each other via group texts or trips to celebrate birthdays. Clint’s mom and step-dad live in Oklahoma, but his dad is nearby, so we’re able to see him more regularly. Stephanie’s parents recently moved 30 minutes outside the city to a small piece of land, which has quickly become the gathering spot for family get-togethers and...

We share a love for staying active, celebrating life’s moments, and making lasting memories. One of our favorite hobbies is golf, something we picked up as adults and have completely fallen in love with. We enjoy the challenge of improving each time we play and hope to pass that love down to future children. Golf teaches so many great life lessons like perseverance, patience, and determination and we can’t wait to share those moments as a family one day.

Cooking and baking are a big part of our home...

Thank you so much for taking the time to learn a little bit more about us. We can only imagine the emotion and courage it takes to consider adoption and hope that we can provide some hope and encouragement through God: “Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.” Joshua 1:9.

From the beginning of our marriage, we’ve prayed that God would guide the path to our future family, however He chose to build it. Through a...
