David & Emily
Hey There!
We are Emily and David. Thank you for taking the time to learn more about us. We can only imagine the strength and love it takes to consider an adoption plan, and we want you to know how deeply we respect and admire your courage. This journey begins with your selfless love for your child, and we are so grateful that you are taking the time to get to know who we are and the life we hope to provide. We’ve been praying for you and for this child, trusting that God is guiding each step of this journey.
We hold close the reminder from Psalm 118:24 — “This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.” Even in the midst of so many unknowns, we believe He is at work in something beautiful. If our paths are meant to come together, we promise to raise your child with unconditional love, faith, and joy — always knowing how loved they are by you. Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts, for your strength and your openness.
Kindly,
Emily & David

About Us:
We are a couple deeply committed to our relationship with Christ and to building a home centered on faith, love, and family. Our faith is the foundation of our marriage and shapes how we approach life and relationships. We’re definitely a case of opposites attract! Our personalities are very different, but we’ve learned that our differences make us stronger — they help us see the world in new ways and bring out the best in each other. We balance each other beautifully and share a deep respect for what makes each of us unique.
We have always been open to adoption and hoped it would be part of our family story. Through several years of infertility, the Lord stretched us to trust Him more than ever before. After thoughtful prayer, we heard loud and clear from God that adoption is the way we are supposed to start our family.
About David, by Emily:
David is a humble servant. Whether he is serving me, his family and friends, or colleagues, he does it with an immense amount of love and humility. He is the type of person that is there for you in a physical and emotional way. He is quick to listen and slow to speak. He is thoughtful about his words and shares wisdom that is always worth remembering. He is a gentle place to land while also being the strong leader of our family. He has an adventurous disposition and does not let fear get in the way of him trying new things. David is truly loved by all.
About Emily, by David:
Emily is one of the sweetest souls on this planet. She has an astounding ability to love and care for people and always be there for them. Whether it's me, her family, her friends, her students at school or someone she just met she loves to care for them. Emily is always the first person to plan or help with any event that is to celebrate someone. She is always there to listen and talk you through tough times. She emulates joy wherever she goes and spreads it with everyone she interacts with. She is incredibly loyal to her friends and family and will do absolutely anything for them from bringing them meals in times of need or spending the night with them when they don't want to be alone. Emily is the most selfless, loving, and happiest person I know.
