Kinship Partners is proud to honor our newest Match of the Month.  Paul and Stephanie Ouren and family were matched with Kodi Ringheimer six years ago!

 As so often happens in these long-term relationships, Kodi has become part of the Ouren family.  Stephanie states, “Kodi fits in so well with our family – he goes where we go!”  In addition to family activities such as preparing and eating meals, fishing and camping, Paul worked with Kodi to help him gain his Firearm’s Safety Certificate.

As Kodi talked about his partnership, it was apparent that he considers the Ouren’s to be much more than friends.  He described the fun he had fishing and camping with them, but he went on to state, “They help me with my homework and help me keep my grades up.  They are always there for me when I want to talk about problems I’m having.”

Kodi and his partners exemplify what an enriching experience a partnership can be for all involved.  Congratulations to Kodi, Paul, Stephanie and their family as they continue growing as friends and family.
