Hi there! We're Claire & Andy, and we live on a quiet acreage in rural Minnesota with our sons, our dog, and our turtles. We love animals, sports, being outdoors, the water, family adventures, and watching movies. We've been happily married since 2007 and became parents when Luke joined our family through adoption in 2017 and Des in 2021. We never knew we could love as deeply as we do until we met our sons, and hope to share that love again. We have open and very positive relationships with both Luke's and Des' birth families. We hope that Luke, Des, and any other children who may someday join our family grow up never doubting the unconditional love that surrounds them every day. Thank you so much for taking the time to consider our loving family for your child. We're looking forward to getting to know you!
