We would love to continue to grow our family through adoption.
We are Vince, Tiffany, and Allie. We hope this will give you a look into our lives and allow you to get to know us, our friends, and our families. We cannot imagine how difficult this decision is for you. We have so much love and respect for you and your selfless decision to choose adoption. We have been blessed to become parents through the miracle of adoption and would love to add another child to our family.
Relationship/Journey
We both grew up in small towns in South Louisiana. We met in Baton Rouge while at LSU and started dating in the summer of 2007. We dated for 3 years before getting married in 2010. After finding out we were unable to have biological children, we decided to look into adoption.
Why Adoption?
We adopted Allie through St. Elizabeth Foundation in 2015. She has truly been a blessing to our family. We could not imagine our lives without her! We know that God had Allie chosen for us all along. We are so thankful for Allie’s birth mom and her selfless decision to choose adoption. Allie is smart, energetic, and fearless. She is outgoing and independent. She loves all animals. Allie loves playing outside, swimming, and riding her bike. She will be a great big sister one day!
Home
We live in Gonzales, Louisiana. We have a nice 4 bedroom, 3 bathroom house with a big fenced in backyard. We live off of a private drive with horse pastures nearby. Allie likes to watch the neighbor’s horses. We enjoy having friends and family over for fish frys, crawfish boils, and grilling. We have 2 boats and love being on the water, whether just riding in the lake or fishing.
Travel
We enjoy taking vacations whenever possible. We love the beach! Tiff’s Aunt lives in Indiana and has a summer home near Lake Michigan so we have visited them several times. We are planning a trip to Disney World in the near future.
Hobbies
We love being outdoors. Fishing is one of our favorite hobbies. We love cheering on LSU and the Saints! We both enjoy cooking. Vince loves to hunt, especially duck hunting.
Pets
We have a 10 year old yellow lab named Deuce. He is the best and sweetest dog ever! We also have a 1 year old calico cat named Cookie. Allie adores both Deuce & Cookie!
School & Work
We both graduated from LSU (Geaux Tigers!). Vince has a successful career as an Electrical Engineer, and he works for a fertilizer plant. Tiff obtained her Doctorate in Audiology and is an Audiologist in an ENT clinic.
Our Extended Family
Family is very important to us and we are very close to both of our families. Both of our parents are loving being grandparents and spoiling Allie whenever possible. We each have a younger brother who we enjoy spending time with. We love watching Allie play with her cousins!
Family Traditions & Holidays
We have many family traditions that we are excited to pass on to our children. For Easter, Tiff’s family paques (“pocks”) eggs. This involves tapping 2 hard boiled dyed eggs. The first to crack loses! It can become quite competitive! February 2nd is Groundhog Day, but it is also La Chandeleur Day in France and it is tradition is to cook crepes. Vince’s family has always cooked crepes on this day, so we have continued this tradition. Vince’s brother comes to our house every year on February 2nd to eat crepes.
