Hi! Thank you for showing up here and embarking on this journey with us!
We are Brad and Jordan DeLee. As a married couple, we have spent most of our time working toward improving the lives of other adults and children within our community.
Adoption was placed on our hearts when we became supporting mentors for foster families. Through supporting foster families and our local family violence shelter, we've seen up close how much of a need there is for stable, loving homes for children, and we're excited to provide that.
Our adoption journey has had plenty of ups and downs—big emotions, disrupted and failed matches and some tough financial losses along the way. Even so, we keep trusting that God’s plan is bigger than ours. As we continue forward, we’re so thankful for the love and support of our family, friends, and faith community.
We are forever grateful for your generosity and investment in our family!
With Love and Deepest Gratitude,
Brad and Jordan
