Dave, Rebecca & McKinley
Hello,
Thank you for taking the time to read our letter
and getting to know us. We are thrilled that you
are looking at our profile and getting a good
idea of who we are and the kind of family we will
provide. We are extremely excited to be on our
second adoption journey and ecstatic about the
opportunity of adding another little one to our
family!
We are Dave and Rebecca, married in 2004,
and every bit as much in love today as we were
on that day. From the beginning of our lives to-
gether, we knew we wanted to have a family.
We tried for many years and then came decision
time: in vitro fertilization or adoption? That is a
question that goes right to the heart of what
family means to us. Do we need our children to
have our genes? Although the question is pro-
found the answer for us was simple. No. We know
that we have the full capacity to love, share and
build a family through adoption. This philosophy
was solidified when we adopted our daughter in
2014 and we’d love the opportunity to add even
more love to our family with another little one.
About Rebecca by Dave: Rebecca is a sweet and kind person with a great
love for people. Needless to say, she is outgoing!
She has always been an excellent communicator
with well developed interpersonal skills. She
earned her degree in Consumer Affairs and enjoys
a successful career as a consultant. But her most
rewarding job is being a mom!
Rebecca is a wonderful mother! She is kind and
nurturing, with a great disposition. Everyday she
wakes up with so much love and joy for the world.
She truly loves being a mother and protector of our
child! She gives all of herself into raising our daugh-
ter, and we feel that our family would be even
more complete with a second child.
Rebecca is great at teaching and spending time
with our daughter. They frequently take walks to
the park, and play activities that help our daughter
develop as a person. She shows nothing but love
and kindness as a parent. That was instilled in her
by how she was raised. It has truly been the most
rewarding aspect of her life.
Rebecca also believes in keeping physically fit.
She has a passion for healthy eating and a healthy
lifestyle. She participates in CrossFit, which chal-
lenges her mind and body. She has run multiple
half marathons and 5K races, and together we
work to stay healthy. As a family, we frequently
spend Sunday morning cooking healthy meals for
the upcoming week. She is an amazing cook!
Site Seeing with Mommy
About Dave by Rebecca: Dave is a fantastic father and teacher. He
has always loved being a middle school
teacher, knowing he may impact the life of a
student. However, over the past two years he
has effortlessly stepped into a new role as a
dad and impacts our daughter’s life daily.
Dave was born and raised in Canada. He has
dual citizenship and has both Canadian and
American heritage. His father and stepmoth-
er live nearby and his mother moved nearby
last year to be an active grandparent. Dave
is kind, outgoing and brings his great sense of
humor to any situation. Just look at these pic-
tures!
He enjoys being a dad, being silly with our
daughter, sports (playing and watching), mu-
sic (he was in a band) and good conversa-
tion with good friends. Dave’s French Cana-
dian and British heritage is also important to
him. He is active and believes in keeping
physically fit.

Raising Our Family
We are a loving family that believe in pro-
moting character and core values. We will
seek to provide meaningful experiences for
your child. We will encourage your child to
seek within themselves their creative abilities,
talents and passions. We will encourage par-
ticipation in various activities such as sports,
music, art, or whatever their interests may be.
Our goal is to be nurturing parents who will
provide every possible opportunity.
We will raise your child to be an upstanding
member of their community. We will instill the
important lessons that will help them grow
along their path to adulthood. We are also
very attentive to family traditions and our
family is very excited about the opportunity
to sharing traditions with another child.
Also, knowing that heritage is important to us,
we will ensure that your child has the oppor-
tunity to learn about their own heritage, as
we know it might be different than ours.
We are family with a unique perspective on
adoption. Rebecca’s brother and sister are
both adopted and her cousins have adopt-
ed two children. Adoption is a natural fit for
our family.
