Derek and Danielle are Hoping to Adopt!

About Us:

Names: Derek and Danielle
Dog: Roxy
Age: 28, 28
Personality: Awesome :)
Children: None yet. Help Please :)

We have been married for a little over three years and have a wonderful marriage. We have both been fortunate enough to graduate from college, obtain Master's Degrees, find great jobs and buy a cute little red-brick house with a big back yard - not to mention the world's cutest dog.

We are very happy. However, we know that our family is not complete. We hope to bring a child into our marriage and love him or her forever. Thanks for taking the time to get to know us. :)

Derek Describing Danielle:

Danielle is as fun and as hard-working as she is beautiful (see photo above). :) She is a wonderful cook (I'm up 21 pounds since our wedding day) and a loving and patient wife. I can only imagine what a wonderful mother she'll be, and I can't wait to find out. Danielle is 100 percent girly-girl. She loves spending time with her family, eating out at new and interesting places, shopping and finding ways to make our house "cuter." She also loves animals and will make me stop anytime we see someone selling puppies. I have to leave my wallet in the car so we don't come home with another dog. :)

Danielle grew up in St.George, Utah and is the second of four children. She received her Bachelor's Degree from BYU Hawaii and her Master's Degree in School Counseling from Utah State. She's currently working as the Assistant Director at a small school for kids (ages K-12). She loves her job, but is looking forward to being a stay-at-home Mom. She's a warm weather girl and loves to be outside. If there is one word to describe her, it's 'loving.' When she gives her heart to something, she gives it completely.

Danielle Describing Derek:

Derek is a talented, funny, and hard-working husband who does and will do whatever it takes to take care of me and our family. He will make an awesome father and will be the kind of dad who gets up in the middle of the night to change a diaper or quiet a crying baby. He will be a great coach to our kids' sports teams and will take our daughters on daddy-daughter dates. Derek loves sports and played soccer and tennis throughout high-school. He also loves music and can easily entertain a crowd with a guitar or piano. :)

Derek grew up in Holladay Utah, and is the youngest of six kids. He served a full-time mission in Brazil and received his Bachelor's Degree from BYU. He was offered a full-tuition scholarship to get his Master's (in Business) from the University of Hawaii, so we were able to live in Honolulu for almost two years while he went to school. He's got a great job as a Program Manager, and loves where he works.
