Featured Family: Meredith and Garrett
Hi, we are the Hawes family and it is our heart's desire to add a child between the ages of 0-4 to our family!
We have an adopted son, Hunter - age 10, who has been in our heart and home since 2011.
We are an active family and hope to add a sibling for Hunter.
Hunter says he would be happy with a brother or sister as long as he is the oldest child in the family.
We live in Traverse City, Michigan.
It is a small town, rich with culture, with a very supportive and close community.
We have large extended families, long-standing friendships, and a church community within walking distance from our home.
