About Kyle, by Kurt

Kyle pulled me in with his calm, cool, collected attitude, but I fell in love with his depth: his ability to plan ahead, his commitment to family, his cake sweet tooth, and his Gemini wit. I’m constantly amazed by his groundedness in moments of stress. Everyone looks to Kyle for advice! Beneath his steadiness, Kyle works hard to support others by creating peace. Whether Kyle is weaving at his loom, jumping into the ocean, or just surfing Bravo for a funny show, I can count on Kyle to radiate joy and a zest for life that is hard to resist. I know he will make the most uplifting father, encouraging a little one to be themselves and making sure they feel loved no matter what, just like he always has for me.

About Kurt, by Kyle

The first thing you’ll notice with Kurt is how comfortable he makes you and anyone else around you feel as soon as you meet. He’s an attentive listener with an infectious laugh and is incredibly thoughtful. He not only sends the handwritten thank you notes and flowers for special occasions, but also checks in on friends and neighbors who mentioned in passing that something was wrong at work or home. An avid astrologer/mystic, he’ll have your birth chart memorized before your last name. It adds to his natural caretaking skills. With all of our pets, he’s had this intuitive connection to know when one of them is sick, well before a veterinarian could identify it. His commitment to constant self-reflection and improvement is admirable. He’s going to raise a child to feel all the feelings and encourage self-acceptance better than anyone I know. I can’t wait for him to be a dad.

Our Home and Community

We live in Santa Barbara, California, in a neighborhood called the Westside.  It’s a friendly community filled with diverse ages, classes, and races. On most days, we’re reading at a nearby beach, drinking excessive iced coffees on a park walk, or working out in our garage gym. After living in NY for so many years, we love being able to tend to our backyard garden and raise chickens. We also love road trips up and down the coast to shop and eat, and visiting close friends in/near LA.

Our Extended Family

Kyle’s parents live half of the year just up the street from us, where we often find ourselves eating dinner and having game nights. We have an extensive chosen family of friends that we’ve known from middle school to college on both the East and West coasts. They are also starting to raise our honorary nieces and nephews. When we’re not visiting with them in person, we catch up over book clubs and writing groups. Kurt’s family lives in Baltimore, and we get together with them about once a year, usually involving a crab feast. Kurt’s sister was adopted, which provides him with insight into an adoptee’s needs as they grow.

Our Pets

We have a shih-poo named Tater (Kyle calls her “girly” and Kurt calls her “Cute Cute”).

 

We also have four chickens—Rainbow, Brooklyn, Venice, and Tulsa—named after Mariah Carey albums and Lana Del Rey songs. We imagine a future of someday teaching a little one how to care for the chickens and understand their individual personalities!

Thank You

Thank you for taking the time to get to know us. We would love the opportunity to get to know you, too! We hope to someday have a child to share in our family traditions and also to create new ones with them. We promise to build a loving environment, giving freedom to a child to be themselves and discover new interests. We look forward to navigating this journey together and sharing this chapter with you!
