Family Description
We would like to adopt a child between the ages of 2 and 10 inclusive.
We are open to a girl or a sibling group of girls.
We feel we can accommodate a sibling group of up to 2 kids.
Almost any ethnic background will blend in with our family.
We are open to children with special needs.
In general, We are looking to adopt a girl or sibling group of 2 girls between the ages of 2 and 10. We are open to discussion if one of the girls is over the age of 10. willing to accept minor or medically correctable conditions but nothing serious or permanenant. We are open to communication with the birth family, as long as it is safe, as we feel it is very important for a child to know their heritage and the child will always have a connection with their birth family.
Our names are Brenda and Frank Zepp.
I am currently 46 years old.
My partner is currently 60 years old.
We do not yet have any children
We enjoy doing anything outside, working in the yard, spending time with our dogs, or 4 wheeling. On rainy or snowy days, just sitting around watching a movie is okay too.
I work full-time and have a flexible work schedule.
My partner is a stay-at-home parent. Family is very important to us and we love spending as much time as possible doing things as a family.
We live in the State of South Dakota.
Our home is a single family home with 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, along with living, dining and kitchen.
We live in a Country/Rural neighborhood. The area school is 8 miles from our home. A larger community that has a hospital, shopping and community center is a short drive away.
We have two dogs and a cat.
We have raised Franks two children from a previous marriage who are now adults. Also, we have raised Franks oldest grandson and seen him graduate from high school last year. We have read a ton of articles on the internet on adoption and also have taken some online courses pertaining to attachment and bonding issues.
We have a huge support group of friends and family that are overjoyed at the idea of us adopting. They have all offered their assistance in one way or another if the need would arise.
We have been waiting a long time to be able to adopt and have faced some challenges and heart break along the way, but we just keep going. We want to offer a child a safe home where she will never doubt that she is loved and very much wanted.
