Our story

Hi, We’re Toniann and Michael, and we’re so happy you’re taking the time to get to know our family.

Our story started long before we became parents, we’re High School Sweethearts, and we’ve had the privilege of growing up and building our life together. We’ve been though so many seasons side by side, growing from two teenagers who fell in love into husband and wife, and eventually becoming parents. over the years, we’ve built a home, a family, and a life filled with traditions, laughter, faith and plenty of adventures.

We’ve learned that the best part of life isn’t having having everything figured out, its having your person beside you through all of it. we’ve grown together, supported each other’s dreams, and created a life that we’re incredibly grateful for.

Today our greatest joy is the Family we’ve built. we’re raising our daughter Cece surrounded by people we love and we feel incredibly blessed by the life god had given us. and after all these years together, we’re still excited about what the next chapter of our story might look like.

That’s what brings us here today, we’re hoping to grow our family through adoption and, someday, look back and realize that this was the beginning of another beautiful chapter in the story we’ve been writing together since high school.

Toniann is a hairstylist who loves making people feel beautiful and confident. she is also the one who is usually taking way to many pictures, planning family activities, and making sure everyone has what they need. she loves Disney, spending time at the beach and most of all, being a Mom.

Michael

Michael works in law enforcement, training police K9’s. he loves being outdoors, spending time with his family, and after years of trying, finally convinced Toniann and Cece to give Marvel movies a chance! He is a hands-on-dad who loves making our daughter laugh and is always up for an adventure.

Cece

And then there’s Cecelia, (Cece for short) our six year old daughter. Cece was adopted at birth in 2020, and becoming her parents completely changed our lives. She is funny, energetic, loving and full of personality. she loves dancing, Disney, Barbie, the beach, and pretty much anything that involves having fun. she has always dreamed of being a big sister, and we know she would bring so much love, excitement and silliness to that role.

Of course our house wouldn’t be complete without our fur babies. we have 2 dogs Frankie our Shepard mix and Winston our poodle mix. Our bunny sprinkles and the newest member of our family our cat Jack.
