Drew & Gabby
THANK YOU for taking the time to get to know us a little bit. We hope that through the next few pages of this book you will be able to get a better picture of who we are and the love that we share as a family.
Firstly, we want to take a moment to express how deeply we respect and admire the incredible courage it takes to consider adoption for your baby. We know this is not an easy decision, and it comes with so many emotions. Please know that your love for your child is evident in every part of this decision, and we are truly in awe of your strength and courage.
Thank you for being so brave, and thank you for choosing life.
Before you flip through the pages of this book, may we speak a blessing and prayer over you and your precious baby:
“The Lord bless you, and keep you; may the Lord make his face shine on you and be gracious to you; may the Lord turn his face toward you and give you peace.” Numbers 6:24-26
Please know that you are not alone. The Lord sees you, loves you, and walks beside you. Whether or not you choose to continue this adoption journey with us, we are praying for you and trusting God to guide you in this beautiful and important decision.
Thank you for considering us.
With Sincerity and Love,

About Us:
We’re Drew and Gabby, and along with our sweet daughter Ella, we’re a fun-loving, faith-filled family who believes deeply in the power of love, laughter, and God’s grace. Whether we’re hiking, traveling, or enjoying Disney magic, we love making memories and filling our home with laughter, music, and joy. Our faith in Jesus is the foundation of our lives, and we strive to honor Him in everything we do. As a family, we are committed to being the hands and feet of Jesus—serving others, sharing His love, and raising our children to walk in His truth.
Our desire to adopt comes from a deep place in our hearts—a place shaped by love, faith, and a strong belief that every child is a precious gift from the Lord. Whether through birth or adoption, we see each of our children as uniquely and wonderfully created, and we are honored to be entrusted with their lives. Even before we were married, we talked about adoption and felt united in the belief that it would one day be part of our family’s story. We’re drawn to the powerful way adoption reflects the Gospel—how God lovingly brings us into His family by His grace through Jesus—and it’s that same love that fills our hearts as we take this step. We’re praying every day for the child God is preparing for our family, and can’t wait to welcome them with open hearts and unconditional love.
About Drew From Gabby:
Let me tell you a little about my husband, Drew—he’s truly our real-life superhero (cape not included, but very much deserved). He loves his family fiercely and shows it in everything he does, whether that’s working hard to provide for us, making us laugh until our cheeks hurt, or simply being there with a warm hug and a steady presence when we need it most.
Drew loves and serves the Lord with his whole heart, and you can see that in the way he treats others—with grace, kindness, and without judgment. He’s always ready to lend a hand, whether it’s helping a neighbor, supporting a friend, or serving at our church as a deacon. His servant’s heart is one of the most beautiful things about him—he gives of himself without hesitation and leads with humility and wisdom.
He’s also the kind of person who brings energy and joy wherever he goes. He is adventurous and just plain fun to be around. He makes life feel like an adventure (with plenty of laughter along the way!).
Whether he’s leading our family with love and intentionality or guiding his team as a sergeant with strength and integrity, Drew is the kind of man people naturally look up to. I’m so proud of the man he is—not just to me, but to everyone blessed to know him. I thank God every day for him.
About Gabby from Drew:
Let me tell you about my wife, Gabby—she’s the real deal. She loves God deeply, keeps our family grounded, and somehow manages to cook dinner, sing worship songs, and crack jokes all at once (even if she’s the only one laughing).
What I admire most about Gabby is her devotion—to God, to our family, to living with integrity and grace. She’s strong, honest, and always has my back. Once you're her friend, you’ve got a friend for life—and a fiercely loyal one at that.
And when it comes to being a mom? She pours her whole heart into it. Her passion for teaching has been a blessing to our daughter’s growth. Watching her raise our daughter is like watching someone live out their purpose with joy, love, and a lot of grace (and maybe a few snacks in her purse at all times).
Gabby is compassionate, and one of the most loving people you’ll ever meet. She’s got this beautiful way of caring for others. She’s the kind of person who will show up at your house with soup, a scripture, and comforting ear if you’re having a hard time.
She’s my teammate, my encourager, my favorite person to laugh with, and the love of my life. I don’t know what I did to deserve her, but I thank God every single day that I get to do life with her.
