Dreams Come True
Brothers United |Spring Grove Photographer
Have you ever thought, “What if?”
What if I wasn’t an only child?
What if my family was out there?
When John, who had always known he was adopted, starting asking these questions as an adult, he never knew that he would someday get answers.

After providing inquiries to a closing adoption agency in Kansas, John received an email from his biological mom. What followed was a relationship with a brother whom he previously hadn’t known existed.
13 years his junior, Jake now not only has a sibling, but is also an uncle. During a recent trip to Chicago for his spring break to visit his new-found family, we captured the relationship at the end of this remarkable journey.
Now Jake is setting off on a new journey as he joins the military after graduation. One thing is for certain, no matter where he goes, he will always have family here waiting for him.
*Special thanks to my very favorite coffee shop Main Street Coffee Co. for providing the perfect place for this very special photo shoot. If you’re in the mood for locally roasted coffee and handcrafted soups, sandwiches, ice cream and more, stop in (you might not be able to leave!) My favorite is the Classic Turkey and Cheddar Sandwich or the Cranberry and Goat Cheese Salad with a Lavender Lemonade topped off with an Cinnamon Honey Latte. (Ugh, now I’m hungry!)
