Meet Chad & Brianna S.

Dear Birthparent,

Thank you for taking the time to learn a bit about us. We are excited to become parents and are incredibly grateful to you. Our goal is to provide a welcoming and loving family for your baby, and to share with them that their journey began from a place of love and selflessness. We hope to continue sharing their journey with you as they grow.

We are Chad and Brianna. We married in November 2015 and talk of expanding our family soon followed. Despite some challenges with fertility, we remain hopeful and are blessed with a tremendous support system.

Sterling likes helping Brianna with puzzles.

About Brianna. I grew up in a small suburb north of Chicago with my parents and two older brothers. My family spent summers camping, and I spent a great deal of time exploring nature. I attended Wright State University for the nursing program, and am now a pediatric nurse. I absolutely love getting to work with kids of all ages.

I’m an avid reader and also enjoy gardening, doing jigsaw puzzles, cuddling with the cats, and traveling with Chad.

About Chad. I was raised in Bellbrook, where I lived with my parents and sister. As I child I enjoyed bike-riding around town and nature reserves, sledding, and participating in a go-kart racing club with my Dad, which led me to become a “car guy.” After high school, I studied and worked in automotive service management before joining the United States Air Force Reserves. I’m currently an aircraft production controller for maintenance on Boeing C-17A aircraft.

I love working on cars, playing video games, and doing home improvements. Lately, I’ve been learning techniques to cook with my new smoker — my brisket was a big hit at a family BBQ.

Our Home & Community. We live in quiet, suburban Centerville, south of Dayton in a single-story ranch with a large fenced-in backyard and a finished basement, perfect for kids. During warmer months, we have a small vegetable garden for easy access to fresh, healthy food.

Centerville is great, with parks and trails ideal for exploring nature and lots of family-friendly community events. We are close to the local library and the weekly farmer’s market, and Centerville City Schools consistently earn high rankings on a state and national level.

Thank you. We would love to learn more about you and your hopes and dreams. Should you choose us as parents to your precious child, we are open to various forms of connection, including letters and photos, phone calls, or in-person visits.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for considering us in your adoption plans.

Yours sincerely,
Chad & Brianna

Our Family At a Glance

We live in Centerville, Ohio. We’ve been married since November 2015. We work as a pediatric nurse and an aircraft production controller. Our hobbies include hiking, cooking, traveling, and spending time with friends. We believe open adoption is a wonderful opportunity for the child to learn their story and have a connection to their roots.
