A Letter from Steve & Katie

Hello from South Carolina! Thank you for considering us as adoptive parents. We’re an active couple who love the outdoors. We look forward to becoming first-time parents through adoption. After we adopt, Katie will become a stay-at-home mom, and since Steve is an airline pilot, we’re excited to plan family vacations with our child. We look forward to making memories as parents!

Faith, family and friends are very important to us. If you’d like, we are open to keeping in touch throughout your child’s life and hope for the chance to get to know you.

Our Story

We met at a dinner with friends, and then were set up on a double date with Katie’s sister and Steve’s friend. Now we’ve been happily married over 12 years. We’ve always wanted to have a family and are ready to share our lives with our first child! As parents, we will provide a supportive, loving home, with a God-centered family and purpose-filled life.

We would love to pass on our love for the outdoors, for hunting (if they are interested), sports, and big family get-togethers. Steve would be excited to teach our child how to fly an airplane and Katie would love to share her love for basketball!

Together we enjoy:
• Lake days on the boat with family and friends
• Cheering for our favorite sports team (at home or going to games!)
• Traveling the US
• Playing games
• Volunteer to fundraise for causes close to our heart, like Make-a-Wish or the American Heart Association

Meet Katie

I work for a bank helping commercial clients, thought I’m excited to become a stay-at-home mom after we adopt.

According to Steve: Katie is loving, giving, compassionate, and selfless. She adores playing with her nieces and nephews or our friends’ children. I know she will be a devoted and supportive mother who will help our children succeed in life.

Katie enjoys:
• Watching movies or listening to music
• Working out at the gym
• Playing basketball
• Going to the beach
• Swimming at the lake

Meet Steve

I am a pilot for a major US airline.

According to Katie: Steve is fun, witty, selfless, and caring. He loves to take care of others, whether it’s cooking a meal or just checking in on them. Children are drawn to Steve because he’s always willing to play at their level. He will be the best dad, always encouraging our child to follow their dreams.

Steve enjoys:
• Hunting
• Cooking (especially cookouts for friends)
• Working out at the gym
• Getting out on the boat
• Clemson football & Atlanta Braves baseball
• Flying and traveling!

Our Home in South Carolina

We live in a 4 bedroom home in South Carolina. Our house has a large backyard, with a shaded porch where we love to hang out. Our large neighborhood is in a quiet part of town, with a local park and walking trail nearby. We are converting a room next to our bedroom to become our future child’s nursery.

Our Family

Steve has family who live close, and Katie’s family is just a few hours away. We also have close friends who we spend time with often. We come from big families with 3 nieces and 6 nephews (so many cousins!). Whether our family lives nearby or out of town, we visit as often as we can. Everyone is excited about our plans to adopt!

Our Promise

We promise to give your child a loving, stable home where we put God and family first. We will encourage our children to work hard in school and go after the path God has for them. We promise to provide the resources and opportunity for education and support to help your child reach for his or her dreams and grow their strengths and talents. We’ll make sure nothing holds your child back from who they are meant to be!

We welcome an open adoption and will be happy to share updates with you, such as monthly letters and pictures, or yearly updates. We want to hear what you’d be comfortable with, or how you picture your child’s adoption! We will always talk openly with our child about how we came together through adoption. You will always be a special part of our family.

We’d love to hear from you! Just contact Lifetime to ask about us: call or text Lifetime at 1.800.923.6784.

Thoughtfully, Steve & Katie
