A Letter from David & Allison

Howdy from the great state of Texas!  We are a happy family hoping to grow our family through adoption!  We enjoy game nights and attending the Renaissance Festival (in costume!) each year.  We would love to get to know you and, if you’d like, we’d love to share an open adoption!

About Us

We met 9 years ago at church and immediately developed a strong friendship that blossomed into love and marriage.  We have one son, Thomas (16), who is a junior in high school.  We knew from the time we started dating that adoption was how we would like to grow our family since Allison can no longer have children.  

As a couple, we enjoy:

  • Trying new restaurants/new foods
  • Traveling
  • Taking the dog for a walk/hiking
  • Serving on mission trips
  • Volunteering in the church nursery

About Allison

Allison is compassionate, loving, and gets along with anyone.  She is a great mother to Thomas and makes sure he knows he is always loved.  Allison has been a nurse for over 20 years in different capacities.  She has a strong faith in Christ and looks forward to sharing that with your child.  Allison is most looking forward to reading Goodnight Moon and Dr. Seuss books to your child!

Allison enjoys:

  • Baking 
  • Trying new recipes
  • Reading/Audiobooks
  • Working puzzles
  • Nonograms

About David

David is the most patient and consistent man I know, listening more than he talks.  He is an amazing, supportive step-dad to Thomas and enjoys guiding our family Bible reading time each evening  David has worked as a software developer for 17 years with the same company.  He serves others well, and his life always points others to Christ.  As a father, David is excited to teach your child how to play board games. 

David enjoys: 

  • All types of games, but especially video games
  • Indoor Skydiving
  • Roller coasters
  • Camping
  • Amateur Photography

Our Family

Thomas is our 16-year-old son who is kind and caring.  He loves gaming on his computer and playing the trumpet in the marching band.  He is going to be a great big brother and cannot wait to teach your child about Star Wars and Harry Potter!

As a family, we enjoy:

  • Watching Thomas march in the band
  • Attending church
  • Camping
  • Hosting game nights
  • Spending time with extended family
  • Vacations!

Our Texas Home

We live in North Texas in a community that has excellent schools, as well as  several parks and pools.  Our 4 bedroom house has a fenced back yard with plenty of room for running and playing.  We live near hiking trails, water parks, and several sports venues.  There are many different restaurants from many different ethnicities near our house too!  We have a nursery upstairs that we have already started decorating!

Pets: We have one dog named Scout. He is friendly, playful, and does great with kids!

Our Promise

We will always be honest and open about how our family came together and we will always speak of you with love and respect.  We would love to form a relationship with you and others in your child’s birth family, if you are OK with that.  Your child will always know how loved, accepted, and supported they are!

We Promise to:

  • Honor our commitment to you and your child
  • Love unconditionally
  • Celebrate their achievements and support them through challenges
  • Provide them with a strong education so they can chase their dreams and passions
  • Embrace their heritage and culture 
  • Teach them about Jesus and the importance of a relationship with Him
  • Have fun!
