Katie & Tim
Hello!
Thank you so much for taking the time to get to know us and our family. We commend you for your strength and bravery in taking the steps to find a forever home for your child. We are so thankful you have chosen life for your precious baby and hope you can see through our story that it is our desire to provide a loving home to your child.
About us
We are Tim and Katie, and our story began 10 years ago in Orange County, California. We met at a water polo game where Katie was coaching, and Tim was officiating. We fell in love shortly after and have been married now for 7 years. We spent the first year of our marriage traveling and exploring the world together. We then decided we wanted to start a family and we now have 3 wonderful children Sage (5.5), Reese (3.5), and Caleb (1.5). We as a family put our faith in the Lord as our highest priority. Adoption has been on our hearts from the beginning of our journey together and believe this is the right time/moment for us to finally make this a reality.
About Tim
Tim grew up in Glendale, CA as an adopted only child. He was blessed with 2 amazing parents who gave him an amazing childhood experience in a loving environment. He grew up playing sports and finally settled on water polo which he continued to play into college at Long Beach State University. He completed his Degree in Kinesiology, Teaching credential in Physical Education and Masters. He is currently in his 16th year teaching middle school and coaching at MacArthur Fundamental Middle School. Whenever there is an opportunity to teach, Tim will always say yes. He devotes his heart to making sure others feel completely heard and loved.
About Katie
Katie grew up in Lake Forest, CA and was raised in a big, loving family with 8 siblings. She began playing water polo and softball at an early age. When she entered high school, she decided on water polo to continue into college. She went to Arizona State University on scholarship where she played Division 1 water polo and earned a degree in Nutrition and Education. After college she moved to Northern California and began coaching water polo and worked in the catering industry until 2012 where she started her own company.
After having our first child (Sage), she was introduced to and went back to school to become a pediatric sleep consultant. She has been helping families and children get a better night sleep ever since. Katie always has her arms opened to people in need and leads constantly with positive love.
Our Family
We currently live in Mission Viejo, CA and spend many hours in our back yard playing as a family. We have a large extended family who we enjoy spending time with at the beach, stand up paddle boarding, Barbecuing and pretty much anything that allows us to be together. Weekend sports, swimming, trips or whatever adventure comes our way. We are actively involved in our church and serve in their youth ministry. Adoption has been our hearts from the beginning of our journey. We are so looking forward to having the opportunity to add one more beautiful child to our family. We support your decision and thankful that God put you in our lives to give us the opportunity to give your child a home filled with endless love and open arms. Thank you for your bravery and sacrifice.
Sincerely,
Tim, Katie, Sage, Reese, and Caleb
