Wesley and Elyse are a devoted, compassionate couple who have built their life together on love, resilience, and a deep commitment to family. After more than a decade of marriage and walking through the challenges of infertility side by side, they feel wholeheartedly called to adoption. Their journey has strengthened their bond and prepared them to provide a stable, nurturing, and joyful home for a child.
They live in a charming historic home in rural North Carolina, surrounded by open space, animals, and a close-knit, supportive community. Their home is filled with warmth, creativity, and intention- a place where a child will be deeply loved, encouraged, and celebrated.
Elyse is creative, empathetic, and deeply intentional in how she connects with others. As an artist and former teacher, she has spent much of her life nurturing and guiding children, helping them grow in confidence and self-expression. She has a natural ability to meet children where they are and understands that each child is unique.
Elyse values quality time and believes that the everyday moments- family meals, conversations, laughter, and even challenges- are what build strong, meaningful relationships. Her own life experiences have shaped her into a highly self-aware and emotionally attuned person, giving her a deep well of empathy, especially for children who may have experienced loss or uncertainty.
In her free time, Elyse enjoys reading and creating art, often using creativity as a way to process emotions and bring beauty into the world. She is committed to providing a home where a child feels emotionally safe, heard, and unconditionally loved.
