Hi. Thank you for taking a moment to read about our family. We are Becca, Josh, and
Iris. We are a nature loving outdoorsy family and we spend as much of our free time as
possible camping, hiking, kayaking and fishing. We also spend a lot of time at the
baseball field.
A little bit about our history: Becca grew up in the woods in Illinois. Josh grew up in
metro Detroit. After college, Josh was living in Illinois working for a minor league
baseball team, and we met and got married. Soon after, Josh got a new job in Michigan
so we moved to the Detroit area. Becca continued to work in her chosen field and Josh
focused on his career for several years before we decided to adopt Iris.
We love being parent to Iris, and thankfully she can keep up with our adventurous
lifestyle. We’ve been camping with Iris since she was a baby. We travel several times
each year and if we aren’t out camping, then we are traveling to another city for a
baseball road trip to visit a stadium to watch a game. Josh has always been a huge
baseball fan and Iris also has a love for the sport. Iris is very active and we try to keep
her involved in activities as much as possible. She is on a tee ball team and Josh is her
coach.
Iris is a very kind and considerate kid. Her favorite toys have always been her baby
dolls. She loves to take care of them as if they were real babies. She will make an
excellent and loving big sibling.
We do have a relationship with Iris’s first family, having visits when our schedules allow.
Our relationship with her biological family started slow and has grown over the years
into what it is now, and we are excited to see how those relationships continue to evolve
over the years. We love that Iris is able to have those relationships with her family, but
we are also open to a closed adoption if that is what you would prefer.
We want to thank you for taking a moment to learn a little about our family. We are
excited about bringing home a baby again, but we also recognize and appreciate how
difficult it is to make an adoption plan. We are sending you strength as you figure out
what the options are for you and your baby.
