Our family
We know that your decision to consider adoption comes from love
When we adopted our son, Charlie, we gained so much appreciation for his birth parents and we continue to love them and admire their courage.
We believe that while adoption can be difficult, it is also miraculous. We have seen that first hand. When we adopted our son, Charlie, we gained so much appreciation for his birth parents and we continue to love them and admire their courage. We know that if it weren't for their strength and love for their child that we would not have our son in our lives. We too admire your strength, courage, and the love that brought you to this point. We can't imagine how overwhelming it must be, but we know that your decision to consider placing your child for adoption comes from love.

Our Home
We hope that above all else our children know that they are loved and that they are children of God.
We love to go on adventures together
We seek to have a home that is filled with love and kindness. We love having fun, being silly, going on adventures, and holding family dance parties, but above all else, we hope our children know that they are loved and that they are children of God. Kindness matters, and we want our children to treat everyone with love.
About us
We are the happiest when we are serving others
We have been married for almost 5 years
We have been married for five years and first met at a New Year's eve party at Ashley 's house. Ashley was teaching Seminary and Scott was working in real estate development. Since that time, we have loved traveling the world together, buying our first home, spending time with friends and family, and graduating with our masters degrees. We now enjoy sharing all the things we love to do with our son Charlie. Bike rides, walks, going to theme parks, exploring nature, and family dance parties are all things we do together. Scott loves to play soccer, mountain bike, rock climb, ski, and work with his hands around the house. Ashley loves to go on walks with Charlie, find new things to cook, read, watch shows, and spend time with friends. Spirituality is really important to us. We have a strong belief that Jesus Christ is our Savior, and we love serving in our Church. We are the happiest when we are serving others and strengthening our relationships with family and friends. Ashley is the youngest of 7 children and Scott the youngest of 4. All of our siblings are married and have kids, and all together, there are 39 cousins Charlie gets to play with. We are close with both of our families and they are a great support to us. We treasure our family relationships.
Growing our family
We have so much love to give

Time spent with our son Charlie matters the most to us. Being parents has changed our lives, and we couldn't be happier about it. Our love for him grows every day. We have so much love to give and know that there is another child out there that would bring light to our home and fill our hearts with joy. Each child is so precious and we can't wait to grow our family and offer another child our love.

I have known Ashley and Scott for years, and without hesitation I can recommend them as loving, attentive, patient, and selfless parents, ready to welcome another child into their family with their whole hearts. Watching how they love and care for their son and do all they possibly can to ensure his happiness, success, and learning is beautiful and inspiring. Ashley and Scott are happy people- they love to laugh and have fun! They highly value education, they have worked hard to create a beautiful and comfortable home, and they nurture healthy relationships with a large and supportive network of friends and family who love them dearly. Scott and Ashley love each other and are completely devoted to their marriage, their family, and their faith in Jesus Christ. I have total confidence that a child placed in the care of Ashley and Scott will be loved and cared for at the highest levels. As their friends, we wait with them for another beautiful miracle to unfold, and can’t wait to meet and love the child who joins this wonderful family.
