Phil & Holly

Hello! We are a faith-filled, loving couple who believes that family is one of God’s greatest blessings. Guided by Christian values, we strive to live each day with kindness, honesty, and gratitude. Our home is full of love, laughter, and quality time spent together. We’ve been praying for the opportunity to grow our family through adoption, and we are thankful that you are considering this path. Should you choose us, your child will be raised in a home grounded in faith, surrounded by love, and supported every step of the way.

A Little About Us

We met at church. We’re a down-to-earth, southern couple. We truly enjoy doing life together and try to make the most of every moment, whether we’re doing our daily devotion together, sitting on our front porch, heading to the mountains or the beach, catching a movie at the drive-in, or trying out new restaurants. Our life is full of love, laughter, and faith and we can’t wait to share it all with a child.

Both of us have always dreamed of becoming parents and adoption is something that has been on Holly’s heart for several years, and now Phil’s as well. Due to Holly being diagnosed with polycystic ovarian syndrome back in her late teens, pregnancy has been a struggle for us. Doctors encouraged us to look into IVF treatments, but after much prayer we knew that God had something else for us in store. Adoption kept coming up and we both feel that the Lord has chosen us to grow our little family in this way. Just as God has adopted us as His sons and daughters, we want to be able to show this same love to a precious little one.

About Phil (from Holly's perspective)

My husband is a kind, steady, and loving man who leads our home with quiet strength and deep faith. He’s someone who lives out his values every day. He’s full of integrity, gentle with his words, and always ready to help others whether it’s lending a hand, helping around the house, or jumping in to help in the kitchen. He has a heart for carpentry and enjoys building things with his hands, whether it’s a new project around the house, for his job, or something just for fun. He’s also a big Alabama football fan. Saturdays in the fall are a tradition he looks forward to all year! One of his favorite habits is that he genuinely enjoys counting and wrapping coins. He doesn’t seek attention, but he shows love through his actions in the most meaningful ways. I know, without a doubt, that he will be the most patient, hands-on, and faith-filled father. He will be a safe place full of love and consistency for our child.

About Holly (from Phil's perspective)

My wife is the most kind-hearted, loving, and gentle person I’ve ever known. She has a beautiful spirit full of joy, grace, sensitivity, and strength, and she brings light to every room she walks into. She enjoys singing around the house, reading a good fiction book, and cuddling our 2 puppies. She makes the absolute BEST fried cornbread you’ll ever taste. Her faith in God guides every part of her life, and it shows in the way she loves others so deeply and serves with a genuine heart. She’s passionate about missions and has taken several trips overseas to serve people in need and share the love of Jesus. Holly is always putting others before herself, including the students she teaches every day. She has been an elementary school teacher for several years, which is a role that fits her perfectly. She’s patient, encouraging, and has a gift for helping kids feel seen and valued. She has a natural ability to make people feel cared for, and her warmth and sense of humor make her easy to talk to and even easier to love. She looks forward to creating a nurturing, faith-filled home. She will love unconditionally, speak life over our child, and support them every step of the way.

Our Home in Alabama

Our home is at the foothills of Cheaha Mountain in Alabama, surrounded by nature and a slower pace of life. We live in a small town where everyone knows each other. It’s the kind of place where neighbors wave and say hello, and people genuinely care about one another. It often feels like something out of a Hallmark movie, especially during the holidays.

Our house is cozy, just how we like it. It feels welcoming as soon as you walk in. One of our favorite parts of our home is the fenced-in backyard. It gives us privacy and is perfect for our two dogs, Pup and Ace, to run and play. Our dogs are so loving and cuddly. Pup is a rescue and Ace is a mix between a golden retriever and a cocker spaniel. Whether we’re relaxing on the back porch, enjoying a quiet evening inside, or spending time with family and friends, our home is a peaceful and happy place that really feels like our own.

Our Family

We’re a close-knit family, and we’re grateful for that. Our parents have shown us the value of love, strength, and putting family first, and their continued support in everything we do (including our adoption) continues to shape us. Our siblings are not just family, they’re our best friends and biggest supporters. One of our favorite family traditions is Sunday lunch after church, where we enjoy good food and time together. We also love celebrating holidays and birthdays with food, fun, and decorations.

Though our extended family is spread out, we stay connected through calls, texts, and reunions. Family vacations to the beach or mountains are especially meaningful. Whether we’re around a campfire or walking on the shore, those moments are filled with laughter and lasting memories. Wherever we are, being together feels like home.

Our Promise

We promise to raise your child in a home rooted in love, faith, and the unwavering grace of God. From the very beginning we have prayed for this child, and we believe with all our hearts that God has led us to you. You will always be honored, and we will speak of you with deep respect and gratitude. Your child will grow up knowing their story is part of a greater plan, one written with purpose, love, and divine guidance. We will share their journey with you through photos, letters, and updates, so you can witness the life you made possible. With God at the center of our family, we promise to nurture your child’s heart, faith, and future, always reminding them how deeply they are loved by so many.
