HELLO THERE!

ELI & MANDY

FROM GEORGIA

We are so grateful to have this opportunity!

From the start of our marriage, we both felt a deep calling toward adoption. Mandy had long known this path was on her heart, and Elijah, having grown up with an adopted sister, shared that openness. After welcoming three children into our lives, we sensed that the time was right to move forward with adoption. This direction was further affirmed through complications from Mandy’s C-sections, which made adoption the natural next step in growing our family. We are very blessed with a strong support system and family. We are eager and excited to open our home and hearts through adoption.

FAV HOLIDAY

Christmas

My family is the most important thing in my life. I work at a construction company and even though I enjoy it, I cannot wait to get back home every day. I enjoy hunting, fishing, cars, and spending time on our farm. I come from a close-knit family and strive to replicate that in our own home. My goal is to be a strong husband to my wife, father to my children, and to raise our children to take on the world when they are grown. I love the life that I have been blessed with and hope to share it with another child so that they too can enjoy what a wonderful family we have built.

Christmas

I love being a mom first and foremost. My dream has always been to be a stay-at-home mom and now I am living my dream. I enjoy cooking, gardening, baking, reading, and being outdoors. I am a teacher to our homeschooled kids. I love watching the kids learn and being directly involved in their education. We love the slower pace of life homeschooling allows our family. I love all things animals and you will find me cuddling kids and farm animals on any given day. I love the sunshine and spending quality time with family and friends. I adore my husband Elijah and am so thankful for this life we have made together. I can’t wait to welcome another child into my heart and home.

Our first child is such a vibrant, fun- loving girl. She is the life of the party and is the absolute best big sister. She loves riding horses, animals, playing with her sisters, and hanging out with her friends. She has the biggest imagination and never meets a stranger. She wants to be an animal rescuer when she grows up. When she isn’t playing outside, she can be found scouring a book to learn something new.

Our second child has the biggest heart and loves everyone she meets. She loves soccer, gymnastics, and helping Mom cook in the kitchen. She also enjoys movie nights and riding her bike. When she grows up, she wants to be a doctor. Whenever one of her sisters is sad about something, she is the first to try and take care of them. Her laugh is contagious and her kind nature is unmatched.

Our third child is free spirited, spunky, and very loving. She loves giving hugs to everyone and gives the best cuddles. She enjoys crafts and learning. Even though she is younger, she watches her sisters during school and has already began learning things far above expectation for her age. She enjoys gymnastics and playing with her big sisters. She can’t wait to be a big sister too. When she grows up, she wants to be a vet or a princess.

OUR PETS

MEET OUR PETS

We live on a homestead and have many animals. We have two dogs named Bella and Rocky. We have five outdoor cats, three bunnies, and many chickens and ducks. Our kids love animals and enjoy interacting with the them on a daily basis. We plan to get horses in the near future. We believe that helping take care of all of our animals is an important part of our children learning responsibility and hard work.

OUR HOME & COMMUNITY

We built our dream farmhouse last year that is on five acres and we thoroughly enjoy spending time at home. Our home is connected to family property that has a creek, pond, and many trails for riding and walking. We are a couple minutes down the road from grandparents, cousins, aunts, and uncles. We have many friends in the community and we love to host get togethers often for food and fellowship. We are involved in church, homeschool community group, county recreation sports, horse lessons, and many other extracurricular activities.

THANK YOU

FOR CONSIDERING US

Beach Trip
We are a close, loving family built on stability, laughter, and a deep commitment to one another. Our home is a place where children are encouraged to be themselves, explore their interests, and feel safe, supported, and unconditionally loved. We are in a strong season of life, emotionally, financially, and relationally, which allows us to be fully present as parents and to provide a nurturing, secure environment for a child to grow and thrive. Our children are still young, and we are excited about the opportunity for them to welcome a new sibling they can grow up alongside, sharing in everyday moments and building lifelong bonds. Family is central to who we are, and we are blessed with a strong support system of extended family and close friends who are actively involved in our lives and will embrace this child wholeheartedly.

We believe in raising children with kindness, integrity, and a sense of belonging, while also encouraging curiosity, confidence, and resilience. We value time together, whether that’s through simple routines at home, celebrating milestones, or making memories through shared experiences. We are prepared for both the joys and challenges of parenting and are committed to providing a life filled with opportunity, stability, and love. Above all, we understand the significance of this decision and hold deep respect for the strength, care, and love it takes to consider adoption. Thank you for taking the time to read our story and considering us. We are honored and grateful to be part of this important decision. Whatever path you choose, we wish you peace and strength.

Eli and Mandy
