Chris & Ashley

Howdy from Texas! We’re Chris and Ashley, and we’re overjoyed to be growing our family through adoption. Chris works as a computer engineer, and Ashley is a registered nurse with a big heart for helping others. We love spending our free time playing pickleball, watching Harry Potter marathons, and gathering with loved ones for dinners or game nights. We’d love to get to know you and share our love and joy with you and your child.

Our Story

We met in high school through a mutual childhood friend and started dating during our sophomore year. After college, we married in our hometown—where we still live today. We’ve now been together for 15 wonderful years and married for 7.

Having children has always been a dream of ours, though we’ve faced challenges with infertility. Through it all, our journey has strengthened our faith and deepened our love for one another. When we decided to stop fertility treatments, we felt God’s gentle call to adoption. This path has brought us so much peace and joy, and we’re thrilled to open our hearts and home to a child.

We love spending time together and staying active—playing pickleball and running, watching football and baseball, and cheering for Texas sports teams. We also enjoy puzzles (especially Thomas Kinkade!), playing games, and tackling escape rooms with family and friends. Hosting dinner and game nights, exploring the outdoors through hiking and biking, and working on home projects are some of our favorite ways to spend time together. Lately, our biggest joy has been preparing and decorating the nursery as we look forward to welcoming a little one!

About Ashley

According to Chris: Ashley epitomizes love, care, and authenticity. Her laughter and smile brighten any room, and her devotion to family is endless. She’s creative, especially in home design and decorating, and looks forward to fall each year. With passion and dedication, Ashley embraces life and dreams of becoming a mother. I’m truly blessed to call her my wife.

About Chris

According to Ashley: Chris is a man of faith who is hardworking, determined, and self-motivated. He loves deeply and would do anything for his friends and family. He finds joy in his work but always stays humble. Chris is genuine, confident in who he is, and firm in his beliefs. Children are drawn to his goofy personality, and I have no doubt he will be an amazing, loving, and present father.

Our Family

We are very close with our families and are fortunate enough to live near all of them.

Chris is the youngest of three boys and has wonderful parents. We enjoy getting together with his brothers, their wives, and his parents to play cards or pool, listen to music, and do escape rooms. The family is looking forward to their first grandkid/niece or nephew!

Ashley is the youngest of three, with a sister, brother, sister-in-law, four nieces, and an amazing mom. Her family lives within 20 minutes of us, and we love gathering for holidays, going out to dinner, playing board games or Mafia, and supporting our nieces in their activities. They’ve all been very supportive of our adoption journey and are excited to welcome another child into this family of mostly girls!

Our Home in Texas

We live in a suburban neighborhood outside Houston, Texas with our two cats—Toby and Zoey. Our home has four bedrooms, an open living area, a game room decorated with Harry Potter posters, a dedicated office, a guest/workout room, and a nursery in progress. Our fenced-in backyard with a covered patio is perfect for play and entertaining. We’ve decorated our modern farmhouse-style home with neutrals and pops of blue, our favorite color.

The family-friendly neighborhood offers amenities like a pool, pickleball court, parks, playgrounds, walking trails, and an amenity center. It’s a safe, green area known for its lush trees, with excellent schools, local businesses, and easy access to Houston and Galveston Beach—making it an ideal place to raise a family.

Our Promise

We promise to give your child the best of ourselves, sharing the love and blessings God has given us. We will love them unconditionally, honor their story, and be open and honest about their adoption journey. We’ll encourage, nurture, and support them through all stages of life while providing a solid foundation and an education fund for their future. Above all, we’ll raise them in a Christ-centered home where they’ll feel loved and valued.

We also promise to honor you as our child’s birth parents and are open to any form of communication you’re comfortable with, including photos, letters, or occasional visits. Thank you for learning more about us—we look forward to hearing from you!

We’d love to talk or answer any of your questions. Please call or text Lifetime at 1.800.923.6784.

In Closing

Thank you for taking the time to learn about our lives and our home here in Texas. We would be honored to share our hearts, our faith, and our blessings with you and your child. We promise to provide a home filled with unconditional love, honesty, and joy. We’re praying for peace and clarity in your journey and hope we have the opportunity to get to know you and stay connected, if that’s your wish.

Sincerely,
Chris and Ashley
