Aloha from Hawaii! We're Dayna and Chad, and we're so thankful you're taking a few minutes to  get to know us. We can only imagine what this season of life may feel like for you, and we want  you to know that we have so much respect for your journey. No matter what you decide, we hope  you feel surrounded by love and support. If we're fortunate enough to become part of your story,  we promise to love your child with our whole hearts every single day. We also want you to know  

that we're open to whatever level of openness feels right for you, because we believe your child  should always know their story begins with love. 

One of the things we love most about our life together is that we genuinely enjoy spending time  with each other. Living in Hawaii means there's always something beautiful to explore, whether  it's beach days, hiking through the rainforest, stand-up paddle boarding, boogie boarding, or  hopping over to another island for a weekend adventure. We also love slower days at home— movie nights on the couch, board games, cooking together, or watching the sunset with our two  cuddly Labradoodles curled up nearby. We can't wait to experience all of these moments through  a child's eyes, from building sandcastles to chasing waves and discovering all the little wonders  that make childhood so special. 

Dayna works part-time from home as a Doctor of Psychology, giving her the flexibility to be  present for our family while continuing the work she loves—helping people heal, grow, and  thrive. She has a gentle heart, endless patience, and a knack for making people feel safe,  understood, and cared for. Chad is an officer in the U.S. Navy and one of the most dependable  people you'll ever meet. Before joining the Navy, he worked as an EMT, so staying calm under  pressure comes naturally to him. At home, he's just as likely to be cooking dinner, fixing  something around the house, walking the dogs, or planning a fun date night. We truly see  ourselves as partners in everything, and we believe the best families are built with love, laughter,  and teamwork. 

Our home is our favorite place to be. We live in our dream home overlooking the ocean, where  every room is filled with sunshine and beautiful views. We're just a short walk from the beach  and from Dayna's parents, who are already excited about the chance to spoil a grandchild with love and attention. Chad will remain stationed in Hawaii for the rest of his Navy career, so we're  grateful to be able to offer a stable home and a strong support system. More than anything, we  hope our home will be a place where a child feels safe, celebrated, encouraged to be exactly who  they are, and always knows they are deeply and unconditionally loved. Thank you for taking the  time to get to know us and for considering us as part of your journey. It would be the greatest  honor of our lives to grow our family through adoption. 

Lots of love,  

Chad & Dayna
