Bret and Sterling

Adoption has been the greatest experience of our lives. We will never forget the first time we met our son’s birthparents. Our son never tires of hearing about the night he was born. His birthparents are his history, a part of his story.

We look forward to explaining to our next baby that her birthmother is an amazing woman who searched for the perfect family to be her baby’s parents. Since we have the utmost respect and admiration for birthmothers, our explanations will be filled with this genuine regard.

We met seventeen years ago at a local Fisherman’s Festival and immediately felt as if we had been friends for years. Within a month we knew we had found our soul mate. Bret’s job as Director of Manufacturing provides the financial security that allows Sterling to be a stay at home mom. Before being a mom, Sterling loved her job as an elementary school teacher, teaching second and third grade. 

We live in an affluent suburb of a small city. Our home is on a cul-de-sac where families play on the streets and kids bike through the park to school. There are so many incredible outdoor activities just minutes from our house. One of our favorite spots is a beautiful lake where we take our son to ride his bike and walk our dog. We are only a short drive to the ocean and a few hours from the mountains. Our home is the perfect place to raise a family with a large backyard complete with sandbox, trampoline, and a vegetable garden. It has become the gathering place for holidays, special occasions, and summer BBQs. Our playful and loving young dog, Duncan follows us around and our adorable cat, Soot is often found lazing in the sun.

During the warm months, we can be found playing on our houseboat. We enjoy friendly water balloon fights, building sandcastles, waterskiing, and tubing. In the winter, we break out our snow gear. In addition to our ski weekends, we really love our annual snow trip with the cousins. Bret and the other dads create a giant sled run in the backyard that only gets better as the week goes on. It is hard to tell who has more fun…us or the kids. 

We are actively involved in raising our child. We agree on the importance of being role models by treating people with love and respect, working hard, and having as much fun as we can along the way. Our children will always know they are safe, loved, and our first priority.
