Hello! We are Ashley, Justin, Lea, and Ellsea, and we would like to thank you for taking the time to read our story.

We respect the courage it takes at this moment to consider an adoption plan and how much it asks of you. We want to build a positive relationship with you and are thankful for the opportunity to share who we are through these words, pictures, and videos.

We may not know your story, but we value you and the journey you are taking. Adoption is a beautiful and loving choice that has directly impacted our life as Justin was adopted by his father. We know the selflessness you are showing today is based upon your loving kindness, and we will continue to reflect that in your child’s life as we move forward together to raise them in a way that always honors you.

Why We Choose Adoption:

We choose adoption to complete our family due to our gratitude for the impact that adoption has had on Justin’s life. His life was positively influenced by his father adopting him and loving him as his own. We feel called to provide the same love to an adoptive child, just as Justin’s father showed him. Justin’s experience of understanding the perspective of a child of adoption has prepared us to foster your child’s healthy development and identity.

We now live a life of abundance and are grateful for what we have and get to experience. First and foremost, we live with an abundance of love. We share that love through daily experiences together as a family. We spend quality time together in small moments like cooking breakfast and dinner, walking our community, or being on the beach as often as we can be there. We hope to be able to share all that we have to give with your child.

We Promise:

Our promise to you is always to love and support this child. We will give them the same devotion we give in every aspect of our lives. We promise always to support you in this journey so that we may all work together to give this child the best life. We promise we are ready to give all of ourselves to them. We believe we were called for this child and are prepared to share the abundance of love we already have for them.

We very much appreciate you taking the time to get to know us a bit better, and we hope for the same opportunity.

With all our love,

Ashley, Justin, Lea and Ellsea
