Dustin and Kayla
We're looking to adopt a baby
Hi! We are Dustin and Kayla, and we thank you for taking the time to look over our Parent Profile. We are excited to start the process of our second adoption and we hope that by reading this book, you will be able to learn a little bit more about us. We first met on a blind date, set up by Dustin’s brother, who worked with Kayla. We fell in love quickly and soon realized that we were meant to be together. Dustin asked Kayla to marry him on Valentine’s Day in 2012, and we were married in June.
We decided to start our family a year into our marriage. When we found out we were unable to conceive a child and after months of trying, we decided to take a couple of months to ourselves and find a house. While doing that, we talked about our options with starting our family and decided that adoption was part of our Heavenly Father’s plan for us. A few years later we welcomed our daughter into our home through adoption.
