We are Paul and Ashley from Indiana and are college sweethearts that have been married for 16 years. We are a large multicultural family with big hearts and look forward to adding to our family again through adoption. We have 6 biological children: Kyler (15), Gracelyn (13), Brynnan (12), Zeke (10), Myra (8) & Trixie (2) and we adopted two children from China in 2015: Frannie (7) and Finton (6). We enjoy our large family and love the organized chaos and energy our children bring to our daily lives! We also love having a multicultural family and including Chinese celebrations into our lives.
We are very familiar with the world of special needs, as we have three very special children. Myra has cerebral palsy and since her birth we have become familiar with tube-feedings, hearing aids, orthotics, seizures, therapy, specialists, support groups, and many other special needs programs in our area. It was because of our deep love for Myra and our experiences with her that brought us to pursue Frannie’s and Finton’s adoptions. Frannie has Down syndrome and Finton has albinism. Both of their needs are easily managed day to day and we are a good team that manages all of Myra’s needs well. Our older children adore their siblings and are great helpers, encouragers, teachers and supporters.
Because of our experiences and the joy we’ve found in caring for these little ones, we are hoping to adopt another child with special needs. All of our children and extended family are looking forward to welcoming another child into our family!
Thank you for supporting our family!!
