Brian & Karen Married June 21, 2003
Dear Birth Parent(s), Thank you for taking the time to review our portfolio. We hope that through our portfolio we are able to show you it would be an honor to raise your child as part of our family. We have no idea how hard of a time this is for you, but we want you to know that your child will be raised with LOVE!! We have tried to have children on our own but were not able to. It was difficult to go through but has brought us to a wonderful choice..adoption. We are privileged to have the opportunity to raise your child. Your child will be our number one priority. We want to share with you that your child will be raised with LOVE, SUPPORT, ENCOURAGEMENT, FAMILY, and FRIENDS. With Love, The Boehms
Hi there, Hanging out with our nieces in a crazy BIG chair. I would like to introduce myself, Karen Joan Boehm. I love children and I have always wanted children to love and care for. I love spending time with my nieces and nephews and I have a lot of fun taking them to parks and playgrounds. Feeding the calf with our nephew at the farm. I was raised on a farm where we raised cattle and small grains. I graduated from a small town in West Central North Dakota, continued my education at Bismarck State College and graduated with a degree in Medical Administration. I currently work on the family farm helping care for the cattle and growing small grain. I also continue to work out of my home as an insurance administrator. Coloring eggs for Easter with our nieces & nephews. I met Brian through mutual friends. We realized we had many things in common; the love for family, children, the outdoors and living life to the fullest. We got married on June 21, 2003 and have always wanted to expand our family. I believe that we were brought together to support and care for each other. Brian has been my best friend since we met and he was my number one supporter when we dealt with our infertility. Brian and I go camping, fishing and swimming almost every weekend in the summer. We laugh a lot when we walk along the beach as the sand squishes between our toes! Many of our moments are indescribable.
Giving my LITTLE God Son a kiss before his first prom. I have a fun sense of humor and I like to joke around, especially teasing my nieces and nephews. I enjoy playing games and sports, like volleyball and softball. I have a caring, loving and kind personality. I ve been a God Mother to my nephew since I was 14 years old, and I ve never missed a birthday party. Family is a huge part of our lives and we spend a lot of time with them. We are fortunate that we live close to them to spend time together for holidays, birthdays and the just stopped by visits. I believe in living deeply and loving your child, always! With Love, Karen Hanging out with family & Friends. Donating hair to Locks of Love with our niece. e.
Hello, My name is Brian James Boehm. I love spending time with kids and teaching them how to do neat things. I have a caring, friendly and outgoing personality. I like to joke around and frequently tease my nieces and nephews. I graduated from a small town in Central North Dakota, and attended Bismarck State College. I am currently working as a Foreman for a construction company building homes. I also have my CDL truck license. I love the outdoors where I enjoy working and playing.

At night, we have campfires, roast marshmallows, make s mores and play games. I like to go fishing on our new boat and pulling our friends and family on our tube. We also enjoy taking joy rides with the family on our uncle s pontoon. I like to build things with my hands; Karen and I have done most of the remodeling in our home ourselves. I look forward to building a new swing set for our child. I like to watch football and hunt with family. I can t wait for the opportunity to share These moments with a child. Working on the house and hunting vehicle. Enjoying the outdoors.
