Our Story

We are Josh and Shalee Knowles. We have two adorable puppies and a new house we are happily making a home. We were married in October 2015 and have hoped for children ever since that day. We are beginning our adoption journey and hope that you will feel the desire to share our story. 

 Josh works in university athletics and loves it. He gets to interact with sports fans all day and help people have a fun experience at the games. He works hard for our family and wants nothing more than to be a Dad. He enjoys playing and watching sports, fishing, working on our house, singing and listening to music. He attended Utah State and received his Bachelors degree in Psychology. He hopes to attend graduate school in the near future. He comes from a family of 6; two brothers and one sister.

 Shalee is a special education teacher. She loves teaching students and seeing the progress they can make. She is passionate about her job and her family. She has dreamed of being a Mom her entire life. She loves to cook, bake, read, work in the garden, hike, travel, and listen to music. She also attended Utah State for both her undergraduate and graduate degrees in Education. She comes from a family of 4; herself and one brother.    

 We love to spend time together and spend time with our families. We both have wonderful families that love and support us. Our faith is the most important part of our family. We believe in having a strong relationship with God and loving others as He does. We love to see new places together and have new experiences together. Travel and seeing the world are important to us. We also love the outdoors and enjoy camping, hiking, fishing, and biking. Education and preparing for the future are important to us as well. Most of all we like to have fun together and enjoy the time we have together. 

 We hope you know a little more about us after reading this story. We will continue to share our lives and our experiences. If you would like more direct information please email knowlesadopt@gmail.com
