Hi!

We're Derek + Brandi!

Before anything else, we want you to know that we've been praying for you, even before knowing who you are. We may not know your story, but we hope you know how much you matter. For us, adoption came through many conversations and prayers, and along the way, God led us to see that this was the path He had planned for our family all along. We're thankful for the opportunity to share a little about ourselves with you, and wherever your journey leads, we hope you feel nothing but love and respect from us.

Our faith is an important part of who we are and how we live our lives. Derek is an Air Force veteran, a CPA, and owns his own accounting firm. He has a great sense of humor and a genuine heart for helping others succeed. Brandi works in Human Resources and loves being involved with her company and the people she works with. Most would say she's caring to a fault. Outside of work, we enjoy spending time with family, traveling, lake days, and all the everyday moments in between. We're pretty ordinary people who love to laugh, have fun, and enjoy the life we have together.

As you get to know us, we hope you see two people who have a lot of love to give and are excited about the possibility of growing our family through adoption. We believe every story is different, and we have so much respect for yours, wherever it may lead. We will continue praying for you and your child, and we hope you always know that our care for you isn't dependent on any decision you make. Our family motto is "Together we have it all," and if our paths come together, we'd be honored to share that together with your child.
