David & Brittany

Aloha! We are a loving couple from the island of Oahu, Hawaii excited to welcome our first child through adoption. We enjoy traveling, family time, and of course the beach.

We are a young, hardworking, Christian couple who is ready to share our lives and our home with a child. Our favorite things to do would be anything with our friends and family. We have a blast anywhere we go and we cannot wait to share all of these things with our child.

We feel so blessed to be on this adoption journey and we look forward to sharing more about us with you.

About Us

15 years ago, we met at a mutual friend’s house and became instant best friends, and have been happily married now for 8 wonderful years. We both were born and raised on the Island of Oahu, Hawaii. We want to adopt due to several unsuccessful fertility treatments.

When we both are not working, you can find us surrounded by friends and family, either singing Karaoke at our house, at the beach floating away at our favorite spot, or traveling to see a 49er football/New York Yankee baseball game. We love sports! We love them so much that we ended up starting our own Youth All-Star Cheerleading team in our hometown. They hold a big piece of our hearts because we are so blessed to coach/mentor kids ages 4 years old and up.

We can’t express enough how excited we are to provide a beautiful life for our child, and we would love to meet you. Flying to you is not a problem for us. We will drop everything for you, if need be.

About David (by Brittany)

David is by far the hardest working man you’ll ever meet. Rain or shine, he’s at work providing for his family. Reliability is a strength of his and he keeps his promises. If he says he’s going to do something, he will, and he’s okay to say sorry when he’s wrong. He finds this very important because he values a person’s character and upholds a high standard for himself. His word means everything to him.

David’s hobbies include hiking, playing basketball and working out with his friends. He looks forward to taking our child to the park to play a few rounds of basketball or walking around the mall going shopping.

About Brittany (by David)

Brittany takes pride in how she cares for others around her, whether its friends needing help planning a party, an athlete needing help with fundraising for cheer shoes, or the simple morning notes she leaves me in my lunch to remind me that all my hard work doesn’t go unnoticed. Brittany loves all animals (especially cats and dogs) and working with children. Coaching is a passion of hers. To her, building an athlete doesn’t stop once practice ends. She’s like a second mom to them.

Brittany’s hobbies include relaxing/swimming at the beach, hiking, and laying in the AC with all the animals watching a good show. She looks forward to living life to the fullest with our child and not taking any days for granted. I can see her holding our child while she coaches or having a dance party with all the cheerleaders with our baby in the center of the floor.

Our Loving Family

Our big, loud, wonderful family is what makes us who we are. We take pride in having everyone gather at our house or the beach. We love hanging with family because it always leads to a group karaoke session, which we love!

We share our home with Brittany’s mom. You can find us three having dinner every night together at the dinner table, laughing and talking about our day. She speaks fluent Spanish and English and is an excellent cook; she can literally make whatever your heart desires. Her specialties are tacos, salsa, and Spanish rice. Brittany’s dad is a local pastor on the island of Hawaii, so we have a built-in Bible translator at our family gatherings. We find joy in asking questions about the Bible and getting clarity about our faith.

Unfortunately, both of David’s parents are no longer here with us. David Sr. and Merly were wonderful people with loving personalities, who both immigrated to Hawaii from the Philippines in their 30’s. They both were hard-working immigrants who spoke primarily Ilocano but also English. They will forever be in our hearts and we will make sure our children know them through stories, photos and videos.

A few of our family traditions:

• Eating at the dinner table with no cell phones
• Sunday family dinners discussing the upcoming week
• Always praying before we eat
• Making sure everyone has a fully stocked Christmas stocking (full of snacks & random things–the more random the better)

Our Home in Hawaii

We recently became home owners to David’s childhood home. It’s a big, beautiful, upstairs / downstairs home that has four-bedrooms, two full baths upstairs and a three bedroom, one in a half baths downstairs. The home has a large yard and several plotted plants, a lot of room for our dog and three cats.

Our neighborhood is loud and fun, full of kids playing. David grew up on the same street so we know each neighbor very well and we look forward to growing our family here. We currently live upstairs together but plan to renovate the bottom home for Barbara to live (Britt’s mom).

Our home has a lot of running room and sun bathing spots for our dog Bear who is a 4-year-old Cane Corso. Bear is full of tricks and who pretty much would do anything for a treat. He’s so smart that we now have to spell the word treat because if he hears the word, he’ll start doing his tricks.

Our 10-year-old cat, Cleo, is the real boss of the family. She’s the type of cat that just needs to sit near you. All of our animals are child friendly.
