We met through mutual friends in Hawaii. Channon was studying at University of Hawaii, and Dan was stationed in Honolulu with the Air Force. Channon’s warm smile and caring heart had Dan hooked at first sight. We found both of us love cooking, outdoors, travel and movies. If Dan knew Channon liked anything, he would go out of his way to make it happen. Dan took Channon everywhere, play in the ocean, hike to the mountain and watch stars at night. We have been there for each other since the day we met as best friends and adventure partners..

I started my professional career in the US Air Force. My experience and travels have brought me into contact with cultures from the whole country and all over the world. After twenty years, I retired from the Air Force and now work for the federal government. My experience has taught me patience, context and understanding of people and best of all, the ability to listen. I love all kinds of outdoor activities, movies, restaurants and cooking. I bring my family and friends to explore new places.

I am a physician. I enjoy listening to my patients to help them take better care of themselves. I meet all kinds of different people in my community. I work in a clinic very close to our house 3 days a week, and I can work from home if needed. My regular schedule hours will allow me to spend more time at home with our child. I enjoy cooking. I cook food from different cultures and always love to learn anything new. After eating at a restaurant, if we like the food, I will look through the internet to figure out how to cook it. My family loves my barbecue ribs with homemade dry rub. I enjoy doing yoga, and encourage family and friends to practice yoga.

We live in a 5 bedroom house in southern California. There are plenty of opportunities for fun outdoor activities, museums, live performance and concerts. We are very close to beaches and mountains. We can ski and swim in one day! We are also within 30 minutes of driving to Disneyland and other theme parks. We have a very safe neighborhood and great schools. We have a big beautiful backyard with a pool and plenty of space for children to play. We cannot wait to introduce our child to the wonderful community that we call home.

Dan is from a very artistic family with three sisters. Dan’s mom makes beautiful handmade cards and other crafts. She always wanted another grandchild and cannot wait to meet the new addition to the family. Dan’s sister does computer painting and it has been published. We get together for all of the big holidays and we'll make plans for vacations and amusement parks as well as trips to the mountains and the beach throughout the year. Dan’s mom and sister live 3 miles away from our house, they can help anytime we need it.

Channon is from a loving family who are very focused and nurturing for education. Channon has two younger sisters. Channon’s parents are retired and they want to help us to raise the child. Channon has a very caring family and we all help each other whenever needed. Channon’s parents like to read, they love to spend quality time with grandkids.

We promise we will always be there to love and support your child throughout their life. We promise they will be raised in a home that embraces unconditional love, support, laughter and adventure. We will ensure your child receives a good education and learns to be an independent, confident and responsible adult. We look forward to taking your child to museums, national parks, trying new places and exploring the world.

We are so excited to open our home and give our love to your child through the miracle of adoption. We hope that by looking at our photos and reading our story, you find comfort in knowing how much we want to share our lives with your child. We are committed to giving your baby the best life possible, one filled with opportunities and support for their dreams. We want to thank you for this incredible opportunity.
