Our Story

We are a family of three and are excited about growing our family. We met working at an amusement park restaurant in 2010. We were just 18 years old. By the end of 2011, we were dating and living together. Darian proposed to Brittany in 2014 at a Christmas tree farm in the mountains. We got married in 2015. Our personalities complement each other well. Darian is extroverted, is talkative, and has never met a stranger. Brittany is introverted, kind, and compassionate. Brittany works as a mortgage loan underwriter, and Darian works at an IV solution manufacturing facility filling IV bags. We both love musical theater and have been to many shows over the years. Some of our favorites we’ve seen are Hamilton and Hadestown. Darian is a Clemson University football fan and enjoys watching the games. Brittany enjoys cooking and trying new recipes. We adopted our son, Lincoln, in 2021 and are excited to continue to grow our family through adoption.

 Our Extended Family

Darian is one of eight in a large blended family of full, half- and step-siblings. Each of his siblings have children of their own, so we have 18 nieces and nephews and one great-niece. We enjoy getting together to celebrate birthdays and holidays, and some of us even vacation together. We have an annual chili cookoff and an annual soup night, normally followed by an outdoor fire for roasting marshmallows.

Brittany has three younger sisters and a large extended family of aunts, uncles, cousins, and grandparents. We get together often to celebrate birthdays and holidays. We have an annual Egg Roll Day, where we get together and make homemade egg rolls. Everyone is involved, down to the children, with making the filling and hand rolling hundreds of egg rolls that we later enjoy for dinner. One of our favorite traditions is traveling to cut down Christmas trees, with lunch and shopping to follow. Brittany has family that lives out of town as well, and we make plans to see them periodically throughout the year.

 Our Home

We live in a three-bedroom house in a friendly, family-oriented subdivision in the mountains of western North Carolina. A priority when buying this house was to have a place where we could continue to grow our family and have access to better schools, outdoor activities, and parks. Our neighborhood has many families with small children and even throws occasional block parties for the kids. We have access to great schools and many parks and outdoor trails. We have two cats, Avery and Paisley, and one dog, Remy. Our pets are loving and snuggly and get along well with kids.

 Our Journey to Adoption

We both knew growing up that we wanted to raise kids in a loving and supportive home. We also knew that growing our family would involve adoption because we couldn’t have children naturally. Our family had been touched by adoption already through Darian’s sister, who adopted two teenagers internationally. We were blessed with an opportunity to adopt our son, Lincoln, from birth in 2021. Through it all, we have had such a supportive family and community. Adopting has been such a joy and honor that we knew we wanted to adopt again.
