Letters

Thank you again for reading about the life that we hope to share with a little one. We feel our adventure has just begun, and we look forward to being by a child’s side as they explore all this world has to offer.

We have many hopes and dreams for the child that joins our family. We can’t wait to teach a child the fun games we grew up playing and explore the places that always make us smile. We know they’ll get dirt under their fingernails playing in the backyard, or sand in their shoes while...

We’re both such sentimental guys… so naturally, we love family traditions, old and new.

The holidays (which we count from Halloween to New Year’s Eve!) are such a magical time in our house.

At Halloween, we love to create spooky special effects for our trick-or-treaters. Nick’s dad and grandma also have birthdays at the end of October which has always made Halloween an extra special time for celebration.

Two of our...

Love builds a family.

RuPaul is famous for saying "As gay people, we get to choose our families." We're lucky that the love of our immediate family is amplified by the love of so many chosen brothers and sisters, parents and grandparents, and nieces and nephews.

Our family in Denver includes Nick’s younger sister Lauren, her husband Michael, and their kids (our nephews), Graham and Aiden. Michael’s sister, Sarah, lives just four blocks over with her husband Matt, and their...

One of our love languages is hospitality; hosting friends and family is one of our favorite ways to show them that we love them.

Our home is a great place to gather. Come in and stay awhile! We have plenty of room for guests, Nick has a really cool home office, and our back patio has quickly become one of our favorite hangout spots. Our basement is a big hit with our nephews: we added colorful murals, a well-stocked playroom with a cozy hidden fort, and a projector for movie nights! We’ve made so many wonderful memories here,...

My favorite thing about life is laughter, and I am a lucky man because my life is full of it.

I am a live music lover who has been fortunate enough to see more shows than I could count. I enjoy the entire experience of seeing live music, the venue, the talent, the common interest of thousands of people. I can’t wait to share my passion with a child, introduce them to some of my favorite artists and take them to their first concert!

I am a very social person, and as Nick will tell...

At heart, I’m just a great big kid. I have a huge imagination, still make time to be a goofball and play. I love to make people laugh.

Family means the world to me - my two beautiful and talented sisters and I have been extremely fortunate to have parents who have always shown us their unconditional love and support. The child that we welcome to our family will receive nothing less!

I love the outdoors and anything that involves hiking, camping and kayaking. I also love the...

Picture it... Christmastime… 2018…

A mutual friend had just introduced us online, and we were texting. Non-stop. We both felt immediate chemistry but we were still trying to keep our feet on the ground. The effort was futile. Our first date was a few days later, and our connection was undeniable. It was love at first sight. We've been inseparable ever since. Fast forward... we got married in 2020, moved cross country, built a beautiful home together, took incredible vacations, and even got matching...

We're partners, husbands, uncles, and best friends. Now, we're seeking a promotion and are ready to add "daddies" to that list. We recently moved cross country to Denver, Colorado for the mountains, the adventures, and the sunshine – but MOSTLY to be closer to our nephews. (Okay...and their parents too!) We live just one mile away from Graham (6) and Aiden (4) and get to be a regular part of their lives! They have filled our hearts with so much joy, play, and laughter.

We have a rock-solid marriage, a...
