Derek & Kelly

View Full Profile

We are Derek and Kelly, and we are so grateful to grow our family through adoption. Our faith is at the center of our marriage and guides the way we love, serve, and support those around us. Derek is a firefighter/paramedic and Kelly is a registered nurse, we both have careers centered on serving others. We enjoy spending time with family and friends, exploring the outdoors, traveling, and gardening. After experiencing infertility, we felt God calling us to adoption, and we are excited to welcome a child into our home. We are surrounded by a large, loving support system, our nieces and nephews are especially excited to meet their new cousin! We are committed to providing a life filled with unconditional love, faith, laughter, stability, and encouragement for your child. We look forward to celebrating everyday moments, creating lasting memories, and raising a child who always knows they are deeply loved, cherished, and supported.

Thank you for taking the time to learn about us. We cannot begin to understand how difficult this decision is and all the challenges you have faced. Please know, our prayers are with you and your child.
