Meet Our Daughter


We wanted to introduce everyone to our new daughter, Isabelle. Our adoption case cleared the courts on June 11th, officially making her our daughter!!! We plan to travel to Ethiopia on July 29th to bring her home. We cannot wait!!! Thanks to all of you who walked through this with us.

Motivated by the loss of Kennedy, Katie and I started a non-profit organization called Because of Kennedy to fight for the lives of orphans by providing them with life's basic needs and enabling them to become the future difference makers of the world. Check out our website at www.becauseofkennedy.org to read Kennedy's story and our mission.

We want to invite you to help us raise supplies for our partner orphanages that we will donate during our trip. We have identified a supplier in Ethiopia that will sell us powder baby formula at wholesale rates. Please consider donating funds for us to purchase this formula, along with other needed food and supplies. We have set a goal of raising $5,000. This is enough money to purchase 300 cans of formula plus staple foods and supplies during our visit beginning on July 29th.

All donations are tax deductible and donations can be made on-line on our website at
