Dear expectant parents,

Thank you for taking the time to learn about our family. We consider this a great privilege and want you to know we are so grateful for your courage.

Adoption has been something we have always desired and have prayerfully considered throughout growing our family. At this phase of our life we have great support from families who have adopted in the past as well as a community where adoption is valued. Because of these factors we believe the door has opened to pursue adding to our family in this beautiful way!

The most important thing about us is the grace we have been given through our relationship with Jesus. This grace and love guides our lives at home and in the work we do. Andrew works as a pastor and has his masters degree in leadership. Ashlen works as a stay at home mom and then out of the house two days a week as a mental health counselor. She has her masters degree in counseling. We love spending time together as a family and with our extended family. Evening bike rides, zoo trips, reading together, eating ice cream, and going on adventures (near or far!). Andrew brings a lot of fun and adventure to our home. Ashlen brings comfort and routine. We love working as a team in parenting and find it to be the best job we’ve ever had!

We want you to know that our hearts are turned towards you in love. Our goal is to walk out adoption in a way that is respectful to your child and honors your love for them. We are praying God’s peace for you as you walk this journey.

Andrew and Ashlen
