Mike
is a high school senior who is an extremely gifted
and talented musician. From everything he touches
comes beautiful music! He plays Drums, Bass, Keyboard,
and Tuba. He also composes, studies and teaches music
theory, gives lessons, and on top of all that, 
he sings. We enjoy attending all of his performances—
Jazz Band, Honor Band, Advanced Band, Choir and Youth
Symphony. We are extremely proud and excited to be
traveling to New York this summer to watch him perform
at Carnegie Hall. He enjoys children and looks forward
to being a big brother for the first time. |

OUR
HOME...
We live in a
cozy home on a private court in Sebastopol, CA,
approximately 50 miles north of San Francisco, in
beautiful Sonoma County. We live in a safe and friendly
family neighborhood that has a ton of kids. We have
3 great dogs, Buster, Sandy and Abby, who are waiting
for a new little
companion to come play with them in our big backyard.

We are fortunate to
be close to all the things we enjoy the most: 20
minutes to the ocean for great walks and gorgeous
sunsets, 20 minutes to Lake Sonoma for fishing and
camping, less than an hour to San Francisco to enjoy
all the great sports, museums, and family activities
that the big city has to offer.

OUR VALUES...

| Dean's
family at our wedding |
Our marriage is based on
love, friendship, honesty, trust and mutual respect.
We believe we have a lot to offer a child: a nurturing
home environment, financial and emotional stability,
and most importantly...our unconditional
love. Just like our parents, our goal is to provide
our child the support and guidance he or she needs
to develop a strong sense of self-esteem, self-worth
and self-respect. |

FAMILY
TIES... Family
is extremely important to us. We both come from large,
loving families who all live close by. They are as
excited about our decision to adopt as we are! We
love getting together often with our families
at our home for birthday celebrations, Easter egg
hunts, barbecues on warm summer days, and Christmas
morning by a warm fire next to our beautiful tree.

FUN
FAMILY TIMES...
We love working in our yard together planting vegetables
and bulbs. It'll be great to have another set of
little helping hands to plant seeds and pick flowers.
We enjoy the outdoors and love taking short trips
to Monterey and Mendocino and look forward to taking
our child to the Northwest to meet great aunts and
other relatives there.

In winter
we'll join our friends at their cabin in Bear Valley,
go sledding and build a snowman together.
