Ben and Drew
Hello! Our names are Ben & Drew!
We live in Columbus, WI along with 2 cats, Mim & Twix, and our tortoise, Gus.
We are both daycare workers, Ben works with 2-3 year olds and Drew works with 4-5 year olds.
In our free time, we like to visit family, cook/bake, work on crafts, garden, along with the occasional relaxation. Our family loves going on adventures and seeing new places. Our goal is to take a trip to Hawaii one day. Every July, we take a week to visit Drew’s extended family on a beach in Oak Island, NC. Drew’s family has been doing this for the last 30 years.
Our extended family is vast and very supportive of an impending baby in our future.

We recognize the difficult choices you have had to make and the profound love you have for your child’s well-being. Your strength in considering adoption speaks volumes about the kind of mother you are, and we have the utmost respect and admiration for you.
We would like to embark on this journey together and have always dreamed of becoming parents and providing a loving and nurturing home for a child.

Our commitment to your child’s well-being is unwavering. We are eager to provide them with opportunities to explore their interests, receive a quality education, and experience the world around them. We are also fortunate to have a close-knit network of family and friends who are excited to welcome your child into their lives.
We understand that this journey may be filled with a mix of emotions, and we want you to know that we are here to support you in whatever way you need. We are open to maintaining contact and ensuring that your child knows their unique and special story from the very beginning.

I live in a cozy condo in a suburb of Madison with my dog, Mazie. My home is located near many parks and a beautiful downtown area that hosts many family-friendly events.
I am a high school teacher in a small, close-knit school district where I have worked since graduating from college. I find teaching to be an extremely rewarding career that allows me to help children learn and grow on a daily basis.
In my free time I enjoy spending time with family, crafting, and reading. My mom and stepdad live just five minutes away and my sisters and nephews are near enough to visit regularly. My family is very close and is excited to become aunts, cousins, and grandparents to a new child.
I am overjoyed with the possibility of becoming a mom through adoption. I hope to have the opportunity to guide a child through discovering all that life has to offer while building a strong sense of self and identity. Thank you for taking the time to learn a little about me.
Ryan and Christine
Hello! We are Ryan and Christine. We’ve been together for 15 wonderful years and married for eight. Starting a family has always been our dream, and we are thrilled to be on this adoption journey. We live in Edgerton, Wisconsin, with our two dogs: Rudy, a 4-year-old terrier mix, and Rosie, a 1-year-old Bernese Mountain Dog-Shepherd mix.
Ryan works at Fabick Cat as a Service Manager, and Christine is a Section Coordinator for the State Bar of Wisconsin. In our free time, we enjoy working on home projects, trying new recipes, traveling, camping, and spending time outdoors with our dogs. We also love being with our friends and family. Our home is a cozy four-bedroom, three-bathroom house with a fenced-in yard, located in a quiet neighborhood within walking distance of two city parks.
We admire your incredible strength and courage in considering adoption, and are here to support you in any way we can. We are eager to provide a loving, family-friendly, open adoption environment for your child. Our strong network of family and friends is close by, with both of our families living just 20 minutes away. Your child will have five cousins under the age of 8 to play and grow up with, and many of our friends have children too, ensuring a wonderful foundation for your child.
We’d love to answer any questions you may have about us or our family.
Melinda and Scott
We are Melinda and Scott, and we are deeply grateful for you taking the time to learn more about us. We are filled with hope and excitement at the possibility of starting our family, a dream we have cherished for many years. Our journey has been marked by trials and tribulations, but it has only strengthened our desire to start a family and our love for each other.
We have been married since 2017 and together since 2012. Our story began online, where we found an unexpected connection. Despite our differences, we continue to discover new things about each other every day. Both of us were born and raised in Southern Wisconsin, where our schools were rivals, but our towns shared many similarities. We both have strong family ties and are always there to support our loved ones. We cherish holiday gatherings with both sides of our families and truly enjoy the warmth and joy these moments bring.
Traveling is one of our greatest passions, and we are excited with the opportunity to share our adventures with our child. Our favorite destinations are Minocqua, Wisconsin, and San Diego, California. These places, though different, offer us the perfect blend of relaxation and adventure. Northern Wisconsin allows us to slow down and appreciate the simple joys of life, while California’s sunshine and palm trees provide endless opportunities for exploration and fun.
Melinda works for a local community bank in an officer role and Scott is a Business Analyst for a global company at their local automotive testing facility. We both have been blessed with careers that provide flexible work schedules and employers who promote work/life balance. When we are not working, we love spending time together on mini adventures, working on home projects, and enjoying the company of our beloved pets.
Building our home in 2020, right in the midst of the pandemic, was a challenging yet rewarding experience. It brought us closer together as we navigated delays and unexpected changes. In our new community, we have found wonderful neighbors who have become dear friends and are wholeheartedly supporting us in our adoption journey.
We dream of becoming parents and are eager to provide a loving, nurturing home for your child. We promise to offer them every opportunity to grow, learn, and become the best version of themselves. Our hearts are open, and we are ready to embrace the joys and challenges of parenthood.
Thank you for considering us. We are honored by your courage and trust, and we hope to share our love and life with your child.

ABOUT ORGANIZATION
What our clients say
I can’t imagine a better experience than working with Cindy! She was incredibly thorough and detailed in her explanations of every step of the process. She was INCREDIBLY responsive and even helped us with things that were technically not in her job description. We ended up leaning on her more than any other person in our adoption journey. She was also extremely thoughtful and kind to the birth mother, which is the most important thing in my opinion. We are so happy with our new baby boy and cannot thank her enough for helping us through this process.
Adoption Ave & Cindy are wonderful. As a biological mother, my pregnancy and adoption were a happy experience.
A picture of Cindy can go in the dictionary to define “bubbly”. She is also organized and fiercely protective of birth mothers. I’ve been in contact with many families and adoption agencies before finding Cindy… the difference is day and night. She spoke to me with respect and kindness, she is passionate for her work and has decades of experience. Both myself and the biological father felt comfortable and welcome from the first time we met her.
I knew that I could contact her at any time for questions or support and sometimes did. Even after the adoption, she was receptive to me reaching out, even about unrelated topics & I believe that Cindy and I will have an ongoing connection.
The adoptive parents also loved her! She took charge of the “behind the scenes” stuff and that went so smoothly – I didn’t have to lift a finger even once to get support and legal requirements arranged. Thanks to her experience, she set us up with a strong legal team and the parents were able to leave Wisconsin with the baby in less than a week! We expected to be stuck for much longer.
Cindy and the adoptive parents are among the most amazing people I’ve met in the past years. I highly recommend them & I am so glad that I didn’t settle for anyone else.

“From the first informational meeting through the home study process, to navigating the red tape of final adoption, Adoption Avenues has guided us through the uncertainties of the adoption process. Both Cindy and Andi were a pleasure to work with. We wholeheartedly recommend Adoption Avenues.”
