About Us

Hi! We’re Karina and Brian, a creative couple who are ready to make our family whole. Brian is a musician and award-winning composer on the side, and his main work is in events, audio visual, and theater. Karina is an artist and collector of memorabilia from her favorite franchises, such as Harry Potter and BTS. She is very passionate about her career as a high school art teacher and water polo coach. We met through a mutual friend at a bowling alley—Karina won. We lead busy lives but most days after work we enjoy cooking for each other and relaxing with our favorite shows when we aren’t wrapped up in our respective arts. We’re a very social couple and we always make time to take our dog out and visit friends and family.

Our Home & Pets

We live in a family-friendly neighborhood within the premiere school district of the city, which Karina works for. This area of the city is multicultural and close to a number of great parks, playgrounds, and our parents. The city also has a deep history and a lot of family-friendly places to take kids. We have two cats, Blake and Gus, and a dog. Our rescue dog, Yoongi, loves everyone and wants to be their best friend and is very patient around children.

Our Extended Family

We both love our large, extended families. They run the gamut in terms of age and phases of life, with plenty of cousins who also have young children. Our parents and siblings remain an integral part of our lives. Brian has a sister and a brother; Karina has a sister as well as a niece and nephew.

Food and parties are a regular part of both families. We often navigate seeing both families on all holidays. Our rehearsal dinner was quite large and rambunctious. We both have favorite cousins, some who live in town and others who live out of town or out of the state. It provides the perfect excuse for weekend and summer trips.

What Led Us To Adoption

We want to complete our family. We both have a lot of love to give and want to share our wonderful lives with someone we can help grow up to make their own mark on the world. As for why we’d like to adopt, we both have an affinity for adopting and found family. Karina and her sister were both adopted into a very loving family. As for Brian, after his mother divorced, he and his sister were embraced into his stepfather’s family; his stepfather is also adopted.
