David, Joelle and Johnnie Besnette

So, Joelle and I have been waiting to adopt for about 3 years now. We are working with Adoption Options  in Aurora.  They recommended that we try to ‘put the word’ out online, wherever we are comfortable.

So, for our little website, and blog here, we’d like to say that yes, we are looking to adopt in Colorado.   We are very open on race, background, and will accept a child up 2 years old.

I think, and hope that if you look around our blog/website, you’ll get a little better idea about our family, and if we might be a good match.  We do have a son, who is looking so forward to being a big brother!

I’ll keep it short, and sweet.  If you are a birthparent, and are interested in learning more about us, please contact Adoption Options directly –  303.695.1601

Thank you so much!

I had a really fun opportunity recently to write an article/blog post for the Huffington Post. My profile is: David Besnette on the Huffington Post. I did a little story that has stayed with me since my days working in Vail, Colorado called ‘My Tipping Point Towards Happiness‘ and how one little life event nudged me to make significant changes.

I will be doing further posts for them. Had you asked me a few months ago if I would be doing this, I would have recommended that you get your head checked. Funny how things just pop up in life sometimes!

Here is the time-lapse out of my camera – August 11, 2012 from Rocky Mountain National Park.  I love the shooting star about 1/2 way through, and then a flash of headlights makes it look like it landed and exploded!

My friend Dave Dugdale and I went to Rocky Mountain National Park to try to do a timelapse of the Perseid Meteor Shower – This is from his new Canon T4i Camera – it was awesome and a great time!

We just got back from a wonderful vacation to San Clemente California – a place I’ve been going for 41 years…wow.  My wonderful folks met us there and we had such a nice time.  Not much has changed there, and that’s good!  This is a little montage from footage I took on our trip of the Pier area.   I have included a time-lapse sunset at the end.  Great place to practice my video skillz…

We met my cousin and his wife Iris in Moab this past March (2012) to meet their two new additions (twin boys), and to meet my folks who were celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary!    This was taken at La Sal Viewpoint, with the ’3 gossips’ in the background

Pretty excited to have learned how to use ‘skins’ on my x-county/tele skis – Jeff and I went up to Clinton Gulch in January and although the snow was thin and it was about 50 degrees (warm) it was a great little adventure!

A video Montage I put together from our trip to Fruita for the Desert R.A.T.S. Trailrunning Festival in April 2011. I used a Konova Slider and a Canon Rebel T2i Digital Camera. Enjoy!
