  • We are honored that you are reading our profile. It means the world to us that you

    would consider placing your child into our family. If we are the right family for you, we

    promise to devote ourselves to love, nurture, and care for this sweet baby. We also promise to commit to as open

    of an adoption as you are comfortable with. We can not imagine the weight of this decision and desire to respect

    your choices through this process. Though words and pictures can only say so much, we pray that you understand

    how much we love each other and how much we long to bring another child into our family.

    Our love story began back in Jr. High School

    when Brad noticed Ashleigh for the first time and

    hasn’t been able to take her eyes off of her ever

    since! A few years later Ashleigh, too, began to fall

    in love with her best friend. After a four year long-

    distance relationship we decided we didn’t want to

    be apart any longer. In March of 2013, nearly 10

    years after meeting, we finally got married.

  • Brad is a high school English

    teacher who enjoys writing, reading,

    baseball, and being active. Whether he is hanging with friends, play-

    ing with our son, or simply making dinner, his goofy side always

    comes out! He is spontaneous and silly, yet dedicated and loving. He

    challenges me to grow and encourages me to remember that life is

    fun. Watching this goof ball embrace fatherhood has been such a

    joy. From teaching our son how to swing a bat to showing him how

    to be kind to others, I am proud of the dad Brad has become.

    Ashleigh is an Oncology Nurse who enjoys reading, crafting, and hiking.

    Her life revolves around serving other people,

    but she always makes time for her husband

    and his dreams. She is always by my side, sup-

    porting my creativity and planning for how

    our dreams can become reality. She makes

    those around her better people, especially

    me, always through encouragement and kind-

    ness.

    Westley is an adventurous little boy who loves hiking, swimming, reading, and playing with his friends. He enjoys

    pretending to be a race car, working out with daddy in the garage, playing with his dogs in the backyard, and eating

    apples whole! It has been such a privilege to add Westley to our family through adoption when we was an infant.

    We cherish each moment with him.

    Westley is so kind with his cousins and friends.

    He would be such a wonderful big brother and

    can’t stop talking about the baby he is going to

    play with.

  • Both of us are blessed to have family just a few miles

    from our home. We intentionally arrange our lives so

    that we can spend as much time with them as possible.

    Brad is the oldest in his family with two younger sisters

    and a younger brother. Our son was the first grandchild

    on Brad’s side, but a new baby cousin was recently add-

    ed to the family.

    Ashleigh has an older brother and sister as well as two

    younger sisters. Her family is quirky and fun. There is

    never a dull moment between Westley and his 5 boy

    cousins!

    In our home we have two loving dogs, Ellie ( 7

    year old collie mix) and Wulf (8 year old lab

    mix). They enjoy swimming, playing ball, hiking,

    and going to the dog park. They are great play-

    mates to our son.

  • We enjoy going on vacations and seeing the world. We deeply respect others and understand much can be

    learned from people who are different from ourselves. Some of our recent destinations include Disneyland,

    Seattle, Michigan, California, Colorado, Missouri, London, and Kenya. We hope to inspire our children to be

    adventurous and teach them about other cultures and people.

    again for taking the time to learn about us. We long to meet you but know this is a very difficult deci-

    sion to make. If you choose us, we promise your child will grow up knowing the love you have for them. Our

    hope is that you continue to be a part of their lives, but we respect you and whatever openness you choose

    to have with your child. Know that we care

    about you deeply and are praying for you. Brad, Ashleigh & Westley
