Hello! We are Ryan and Elise Morrison, and we’re thrilled to be expanding our family through adoption. When we first met and started dating, we expressed our individual desires to adopt. As our relationship progressed, we continued to discuss and pray about adoption and how it would impact our family. By the time we were married in 2017, we were set on adoption once we were financially stable enough to have children. After two traumatic births, we decided it was time to move forward with our plan to complete our family through adoption.
Ryan is an only child and Elise is the third child out of four. Growing up as an only child, Ryan always knew he wanted his kids to have companionship with siblings in our home. Elise loved having siblings and knew she wanted the same for her kids. We believe adoption is a beautiful picture of God’s love for His people, and want to share His love through us as we move forward with adoption. Each year, we’ve felt a recurring “call” to adopt, but on Orphan Sunday in November 2022, we knew it was time to begin praying about our next steps and share our story with our church family.
We are blessed with an incredible support system! Thanks to contributions from our church, First Bible Church, and Lifesong, the first $7,500 we raise for our adoption will be matched! We appreciate your support, prayers, and generosity as we navigate our adoption journey.
