Aloha from Oʻahu, Hawaiʻi!

We are a loving, faith-filled couple with big hearts, strong family values, and so much love waiting to be shared with a child. Our life is full of laughter, adventure, family gatherings, beach days, traveling, and making memories with the people we love most.

We are hardworking, deeply devoted to one another, and truly believe that some of the best moments in life are the simple ones spent together. Whether we are surrounded by family and friends, cheering at a sporting event, relaxing by the ocean, or exploring somewhere new, we always find a way to have fun and enjoy the moment.

Becoming parents has been one of our greatest hopes, and we feel incredibly blessed to be on this adoption journey. We cannot wait for the day we get to share our home, our traditions, our adventures, and most importantly, our unconditional love with our child.

Thank you for taking a moment to get to know us. We are so excited to share more of our story with you.

About Us

We were both born and raised on Oʻahu, Hawaiʻi. Our story began in 2009 when we met at a mutual friend’s house and quickly became best friends. We married seven years later, and since then we have built a life filled with love, laughter, family, faith, and adventure.

When we are not working, we love spending time with family and friends, singing karaoke at home, relaxing at the beach, traveling, and cheering on the San Francisco 49ers and New York Yankees. Our love for sports also inspired us to start our own youth All-Star cheerleading program, where we are blessed to coach and mentor children as young as four years old.

After several unsuccessful fertility treatments, our journey to becoming parents led us to adoption. While the path has looked different than we once imagined, our desire to love and raise a child has only grown stronger. We dream about giving our child a life filled with love, encouragement, family traditions, adventure, and a home where they always feel safe, supported, and deeply loved.

 

About David

Brittany says: David is one of the hardest working and most dependable people you will ever meet. Rain or shine, he shows up for the people he loves and works hard to provide for his family. One of the things I admire most about him is that his word truly means something. If David says he is going to do something, he follows through. He also believes strongly in owning his mistakes, saying sorry when needed, and always trying to do better.

Character is very important to David, and he holds himself to a high standard when it comes to honesty, reliability, and being someone others can count on. He has a big heart, a strong sense of responsibility, and a quiet way of making the people around him feel safe and supported.

In his free time, David enjoys hiking, playing basketball, working out with friends, and spending time with family. He already talks about the simple moments he looks forward to sharing with our child, whether it is shooting hoops at the park, going for a walk, grabbing a treat, or spending an afternoon shopping together. He is excited for the everyday moments of fatherhood just as much as the big ones.

About Brittany

David says: Brittany has one of the biggest hearts of anyone I know. She is always looking for ways to take care of the people around her, whether that means helping a friend plan a special event, finding a way to support an athlete who needs cheer shoes, or leaving a little note in my lunch just to remind me that my hard work is seen and appreciated.

She has always had a natural love for children and animals, especially cats and dogs. Coaching is more than a job or hobby for Brittany; it is truly part of who she is. She believes that caring for an athlete does not end when practice is over. She celebrates their successes, helps them through hard days, and loves them like family. In many ways, she becomes a second mom to the kids she coaches.

When she has free time, Brittany loves relaxing and swimming at the beach, hiking, or simply staying home in the air conditioning surrounded by all of our animals while watching a good show.

What excites her most about becoming a mom are the everyday moments. I can already picture her holding our child while she coaches, having dance parties with the cheerleaders with our little one right in the middle of the floor, and making ordinary days feel special. Brittany wants to experience life fully with our child, create memories together, and never take a single day of motherhood for granted.

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 the three of us 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. 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.

A few of our family traditions:

  • Sunday family dinners
  • Always praying before we eat
  • Making sure everyone has a fully stocked Christmas stocking (full of snacks & random things)
  • Our Home in Hawaii

    We recently became homeowners to David’s childhood home. It’s a big, beautiful, 2-story home that has four bedrooms. It has a large yard and several potted plants. Our yard has a lot of running room and sunbathing spots for our dog, Bear. Bear is very smart and full of tricks; he will pretty much do anything for a treat. Our cat, Cleo, thinks she is the boss of our family. She likes to sit near you. All of our animals are good with kids.

    Our neighborhood is loud and fun, full of kids playing. David grew up here, so we know each neighbor very well and we look forward to growing our family here.

    More About Our Family

    Our Cheerleading Company

    We started 808 Cheer Sharks about 8 years ago. We love working with kids ages 4 through 18 and being role models in our community. We love traveling all over the United States with the team to compete in cheerleading competitions, or even traveling to tour colleges for our older kids. Your child will be surrounded with a bunch of "big sisters."

    Brittany also runs the local high school cheerleading program, so your child will also be at the high school football games, enjoying the school spirit that our high school has to offer.

    Our Faith

    Our faith is what drives us, guides us, and strengthens us. We are full believers that God is the sole reason for all of our blessings. He is the reason why we live this beautiful life and is the reason why we are able to adopt. We love singing in the living room to all of our favorite Christian songs, going to church to praise Him, and listening on live stream to Brittany's dad's sermons.

    Travel Plans

    We get excited looking at future locations to travel to. We recently went to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico with our entire family on a cruise ship and found that we absolutely love cruises because of all the family activities they provide. We loved seeing that they had a kids' zone located on the ship, and having all generations gathering together at the pool was also a very cool thing.

    Brittany is a big history fanatic and wants to visit as many pyramids as possible. Specifically, she wants to see the Giza pyramid complex in Egypt while riding a camel. David is all about the food! He wants to try sushi in Japan and hummus in Greece.

    Ultimately, we both dream to have our passports full of stamps indicating all the countries we visited, and we can't wait to share these experiences with our child.

    Education plans

    Education is very important to us because we believe education opens doors for opportunities. We are already considering our options for elementary through high school, and will most likely enroll our child in a private school. We understand that everyone has different learning styles and needs, but we believe that on Oahu, the private school system is better equipped than the local public school system. For us, school will provide the education of things we are not strong at, whereas we can provide life lessons that will teach them common sense. Plus, our family is full of different types of cultures, ethnicities, and educational backgrounds, so we feel confident that our child will be provided with a well-rounded education and childhood.

    In Closing

    Mahalo (Thank you) for taking the time to learn about us and the life we would love to share with your keiki (child). Our family circle is large with so much love to give, and we all cannot wait to welcome your keiki into all of this love.

    We promise your baby will always know how loved they are, and we are committed to teaching him/her the importance of faith, family, and hard work. As parents, we will give your child guidance and wisdom, to help them grow into a confident young adult, an adult you would be proud of.

    We would be honored to get to know you and hear your story. No matter the distance, we would gladly travel to meet you and be there whenever needed. Our hearts and our home are ready for the child we have prayed and hoped for.
