About Us

Hi! We are Paul, Dawn, and Elliott! Paul is an engineer; he is gentle and kind, and he loves to build, tinker, and fix things. Dawn is a PhD researcher; she is fun-loving and warm. She went to Harvard and was a professor at Yale. Elliott is our little boy! He is friendly, energetic, and loves to laugh. His favorite characters are Sonic and Flash! We love providing a loving and nurturing home for Elliott and look forward to giving this to your sweet baby too. 

Paul comes from a big family - he was born in Oregon and grew up in California. He is the youngest of 4 - he has 2 older brothers and 1 older sister. Dawn comes from a big family too - she was born in Nairobi and grew up in Kenya. Dawn has 8 siblings - 4 brothers and 4 sisters! The family is very tight & close-knit, they all visit often and talk every day! Elliott and his 9 cousins are the best of pals and play together like siblings! Cousins are built-in best friends :) 

Our adventures have taken us all over the globe! Seeing different cultures is so fascinating, and there are so many different and delicious new foods to try. We travel to Kenya the most, but we have visited many other countries including Singapore, Australia, Malaysia, Vietnam, Thailand, South Korea, Japan, Ethiopia, England, The Netherlands, France, the Dominican Republic, Peru, Mexico, Hawaii, Canada, Seychelles, and New Zealand. We look forward to many more adventures! 

Our faith in Jesus is CENTRAL to our lives. Paul was raised in a Christian family and has served on multiple mission trips. He also grew up leading worship at church. Dawn was also raised in a Christian family and has witnessed God's faithfulness through all the ups and downs of life. We love the Lord and are committed to growing in faith. Together, we prioritize teaching Elliott about Jesus. We talk about our faith and Scripture with Elliott, and we pray together as a family every day. 

We are thankful for the blessing of children, and we take our role as parents seriously. We vow to love, treasure, and support your precious baby as our own flesh and blood. We can't wait to open our hearts, arms, and home to your precious baby!
