We are Ivey and Paul! It is a privilege that you are considering us to be prospective parents for your little one. We know, the decision you make, will have come from so much love and adoration for your child. We respect you and honor your courage.


We have been married for seven years and have no children of our own. We live in a suburban neighborhood that we adore. We are surrounded by family, friends, and a thriving community. Paul owns an IT and Consulting business that offers flexible hours and Ivey quit her job once starting the adoption process to allow her to devote her full attention to the process and to caring for a sweet little one when the time is right. We are members of a Non-Denominational church, where we attend a weekly small group of the most supportive individuals. We have 3 cats (Birch, Snickers, and Duchess) and 2 dogs (Loxley and Oxford). In our spare time, Ivey loves to needlepoint, sew,  workout, and play mahjong and Paul loves to play video games, build legos, do yard work, and mountain bike. We love to travel; we enjoy tropical vacations or hiking through national parks. When we aren’t travelling, we enjoy spending time with family. We live near both sides of our families. Paul has six siblings and Ivey is an only child. We have many nieces and nephews that we love hanging out with! Whether we are cooking/baking together, having game nights, or getting to read them bedtime stories, we love pouring into their lives and watching them grow. We are so hopeful and excited to become parents.


In choosing us, we will strive to provide a home filled with unconditional love, safety, and encouragement. We look forward to creating meaningful traditions, sharing our everyday moments, and offering steady guidance through both the joys and challenges of life. We not only feel it is our calling to adopt but to also walk alongside you as well. We believe God works through people, and we are deeply humbled to be a part of his plan alongside you in the decisions you make for your child. May the Lord’s peace be with you and surround you!
