Dave

(written by Mackenzie)As you can see, Dave looks a lot like Jesus, but the best part is he acts like him, too. Dave is good at everything he does. He’s the kind-est human ever, he’s athletic, he’s great with money, he’s easy to talk to, he has cool style, and

he’s selfless towards everyone. Even my parents will tell you I married up! I think it’s hard to find men these days who know what it takes to be a real man but Dave goes above and beyond. I feel like any kid would be so blessed to have Dave as a dad and experience the love he has lavished on me for the past 11 years. There aren’t enough words to tell you how incredible Dave is as a person!

Mackenzie (written by Dave)Hands down, the best decision I’ve ever made was my decision to marry Mack-enzie. She is so incredible, and I’m so thankful that she is my best friend and wife. In addition to the husband-talking-about-his-wife clichés (she’s beautiful, kind, smart, etc.) - and Mackenzie is all of those things – there are a few things that really set her

apart from everyone else. First, she is hilarious! Not only does she have a spe-cial sense of humor, but she can tell stories/jokes with the best of them (I just love when she laughs uncontrol-lably). Secondly, Mackenzie can connect with anyone – whether it’s a young child, a resident at a nursing home or your local soccer mom, Mackenzie finds a way to make people smile. Finally,

Mackenzie has the most beautiful voice I’ve ever heard. I remember the time and place when I first heard her sing and it still gives me goose bumps. I’m so fortunate to live my life with Mackenzie and she has made me a better person!

We’ve been married for 11 years (I’m sure you’re asking yourself how that’s possible, because we look so young, right?) and we’re having so much fun, it’s ridiculous. We’re very lucky that we’re really into each other and have a lot of the same interests. We’re obsessed with music, hanging out with friends, and collecting experiences instead of stuff. We think the best relationships are when you find people that understand your brand of weird – and we’re blessed to have found each other.

Everyone thinks their family is the best, but ours actually IS the best! Both of our parents live close and are really involved in our lives – so, they can’t wait to babysit. We also have awesome siblings who have given us ridiculously good-looking nephews and a niece. We’re really lucky that most of our siblings live near us, so we can help each other and they can give us the down low on being parents. All of our family (and friends) are insanely excited about our adoption journey and can’t wait to love on our future kids.

Our house is over 100 years old and we LOVE that it has a story. We’ve been there over four years and it’s an awesome place for hosting. In addition to our house, we have a very cool neighborhood. The location is peaceful, with a cottage feel. The architectural variety of the homes on our street is very unique, with a lot of space to walk and a big yard to play.

We know that now is the perfect time to grow our family and with all respect and humility – we think we’re going to have the sweetest family ever! Just like we know that adoption has been a call on our hearts, we know that you will choose the perfect situation for your child.

We met because Dave ‘crashed’ Mackenzie’s high school graduation party and that spontaneous and adventurous spirit set the stage for our life together. We think that ‘home’ is a place where you can be yourself and feel secure. We want our future kids to feel deeply known and deeply loved. Dave works in Finance and excels at all things that require self-control. Mackenzie owns a hair salon and loves everything passionate and creative. What makes us different as people makes us stronger as a team and we think it will make our home a wonderful place to grow up.

We follow Jesus and try our best to live a life that honors Him. We think the Heart of God is loving all people and we try to see people the way He does. In that, we know that God’s family is beautiful in all of its diversity and we would love for our family to reflect that.

We realize that you have a huge decision ahead of you and we appreciate you looking at our profile.

All the best,

Dave & Mackenzie

From our earliest conversations about having kids, we both knew that adoption would be part of our story and here we are! We’re totally open to having biological kids, but it hasn’t happened up to this point. We don’t know how to explain it in words, except to say that we know that adoption is how God has called us to start our family and we are so pumped!
