Meet Ellie & Logan

Hello! We are Ellie and Logan from Marin County, California.
We have known each other most of our lives. After high school, our paths took us to opposite sides of the world. But our families remained close, so we got to see each other and “catch up” as friends over the years.
Then we found ourselves both living back in our hometown, and each had a puppy! We started regularly hiking together, and our feelings grew. Needless to say, our families and siblings were thrilled! We’ve been together ever since!
Adoption feels like a natural extension of who we are, a couple ready in our lives to share our love, traditions, humor, and support. We believe family is built on love, commitment, and showing up for each other every day.

About Logan
Logan is thoughtful, steady, and deeply devoted to the people he loves. Family is at the center of his life, and he loves bringing people together through nature, food & laughter. Logan is a chef whose love language is food. He spends hours each week making delicious meals for us, and his nieces are his enthusiastic kitchen helpers. When he’s not in the kitchen, you’ll find him in his woodshop, building things for our home, tending our vegetable garden and harvesting fresh ingredients for the table, or out on a walk with our dogs.
Above all, Logan will be the kind of father to raise a child who feels secure, supported, and completely loved, while filling their days with humor, curiosity, and a deep sense of belonging.
Logan is a classically trained French Chef, who was educated in London and Australian. He honed his craft around the world; working in restaurants and catering companies. After returning home to California, he built and operated a successful catering company for about fifteen years. Searching for a more consistent schedule, security and benefits, Logan accepted a position with the federal government. While he misses cooking professionally, he finds great joy in still sharing his passion for cooking by creating delicious meals for those he loves.

About Ellie
Ellie is warm, joyful, and deeply nurturing, with a gift for making people feel loved, welcomed, and celebrated. Family is at the center of her life, and she delights in creating meaningful traditions, lasting memories, and moments of connection.
A lifelong Bay Area native, Ellie loves being outdoors; boating, scuba diving, and taking her dogs swimming. She loves to travel and dreams of someday exploring more of the world with a child. Creative by nature, she enjoys photography, paper crafts, decorating, and preserving family memories.
Ellie will be the kind of mother to create a sense of wonder for a little one with everyday adventures, cherished family traditions, and holidays, especially Christmas.
Above all, she will cherish, celebrate, and unconditionally love a child, nurturing them as they grow.
Ellie attended UC Davis, where she built lifelong friendships and developed a strong sense of community. Professionally, she has spent more than three decades as an infant nanny, nanny, and family assistant, helping raise children of all ages while supporting the families who love them.
Ellie was hired as Margot’s family assistant, but it quickly became clear their relationship would grow into something much more. With Margot’s extended family living overseas, Ellie and Logan have become like an aunt and uncle to her, cheering her on at school events, gardening and cooking together. They treasure their relationship with the entire family.

Our Home
Our house is within walking distance of multiple parks and our town’s charming downtown. The local schools are excellent, and we look forward to raising a child in such a family-friendly neighborhood. We are each blessed to also have the spaces in our home to indulge in our hobbies. Ellie has a large art room that is a particular favorite of the kids in our lives. If a child can dream it, Ellie has the art supplies to make it happen! Logan has brilliantly transformed our garage into a proper woodshop where he loves to build picture frames, cabinets, and re-handle his chef knives. We also have a lovely garden packed full of seasonal fruit, veggies, and herbs for Logan to use in his cooking. The blueberries and strawberries are particular favorites of our nieces!
Our home is full of love, fun, and regular gatherings with family and friends.

Our Dogs
We share our home with two well-trained Labrador Retrievers. Together, they love swimming, playing fetch, and spending time with their people, especially the children in our lives, who have proudly taught them to listen to humans of all sizes.

Our Loved Ones
We are lucky to have all of our family, over 30 family members, including 12 children, within a 30-minute radius of us. The majority of our family lives in a nearby town, and we all grew up going to school together. Because our families have always been so close, we enjoy family get-togethers at least once a month. Ellie’s three cousins are also nearby in Napa, and we see them frequently.
Ellie’s mother was adopted at birth and is especially looking forward to connecting with a little one over that shared bond. Ellie also has a cousin who was adopted, and through her experience we have learned a great deal about the importance of honoring a child’s identity, heritage, and the benefits of open adoption. We are committed to celebrating your child’s origins and ensuring they grow up with a strong, proud sense of who they are and the immense love you have for them.
We have also built a beautiful, multi-generational community made up of childhood, college, and new friends. There are many children in our group who are eager to welcome a little one!

In Closing
We believe childhood should be magical, and we look forward to celebrating milestones, creating traditions, and finding joy in ordinary days. Your child will be cherished not only by us, but by an entire village of family, friends, and two enthusiastic Labradors. We hope to meet you and learn what you are looking for in an adoptive family.
