-Topher & Rose
Hi there! We are Topher and Rose, Colorado kids who moved back home to be closer to family. We met while partner dancing, fell in love, and married six months later. After eleven years, we are even more in love and ready to grow our family. Rose is a preschool teacher and loves helping her kiddos develop. She enjoys gardening, sewing baby quilts, and snuggling our kitties. She is funny, kind, and the sweetest person Topher has ever known. Topher works for a local coffee company and manages one of their retail locations. He loves trail running, reading science fiction, and writing poetry. He is full of boundless enthusiasm and kindness. Both of us are passionate about our work and the impact it has on the communities we serve. We still love dancing together. We spend much of our time with both sides of our families, cooking, eating, and celebrating life.
We live in a beautiful neighborhood in Colorado with lots of old trees and friendly neighbors. Our house has four bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a big backyard with an apple tree, a pear tree, and lots of flowers. We also have snuggly cats. We are walking distance from an elementary school, a park, a swimming pool, a library, and lots of open space. We are also a short drive to a metropolitan city with major league sports teams, museums, and live music. We are close to beautiful mountain hikes and a ski area!
We both come from very tight-knit families, and family is still very important to us. Our parents and all but one of our sisters (Topher has two sisters, and Rose has three) live nearby, and we get together all the time. We often celebrate together, from birthday dinners and Christmas mornings to Chinese New Year and New Year’s Day gumbo. We go on family camping trips and every few years a big family trip, most recently to Hawaii. We have weekly movie nights and help with each other's gardens or big projects. We often get together just for a meal at each other’s homes, to make a batch of cookies, or to watch a football game with homemade popcorn.
We both grew up with lots of family nearby and have great memories of overnights with grandparents, sitting with an aunt or uncle at dinner, and playing games with cousins. We look forward to being able to offer that same sense of love and family to a child. A child in our home will know they have so many people who love them.
We are so excited to have the opportunity to adopt! Adoption has always been a part of Rose’s family; she has two younger sisters who were adopted and has always felt so lucky to have them as sisters. Topher has also been touched by adoption as he was adopted by his grandfather, which brought a lot of stability and joy to them both. We don’t care about race or gender; we’re just so excited about those tiny toes!
