Hello, we're the Rooiakker family from Des Moines, Iowa. My name is Meredith Frances [nee Johns] and I'm 30 years old. My husband is Patrick Kai Rooiakker, he's 34 years old. I'm a stay at home mother to 3 children and Patrick is a General Surgeron Attending. I love to spend time with my children, my parents, go on walks, read, cook, surf the internet [when I have time], and do other leisure activities. Patrick is always busy with work, but when he's home, he loves to spend time with us and cook. Our children are Hope Amelia, Julia Camille, & Audrey Louise. Hope is 7, Julia is 4, and Audrey is 2. All of them pretty much love doing the same things; they love to color, dance, run, get dirty, play outside, swim, play in the snow, go to the beach, and just give me an overall headache. I wouldn't change it for the world. Our religion is Protestant and we all speak Dutch.

Patrick and I would like to adopt 3 children from the ages of 10 to newborn. The gender, origin, language, & religion does not matter to us. Since Patrick is so busy with being a doctor, we'd prefer not to have children with disabilities, multiples are fine, siblings are fine as well. A pregnant teen and teen parents are too much for us to handle, so we need to pass on those. We can't accept children with pets, due to the girls allergies to them.
