the orupabos
Hello!
We have been praying for you. Although we have not met yet, we know that God, in His perfect timing, has preserved both you, your baby, and our lives for this season. If chosen, we eagerly await the moment when we will be able to meet you and embrace life with you.
We promise to steward wisely the gift of relationship that is given to us. We promise to love wholly and selflessly. It is our greatest hope that we will be able to share with you and your baby this genuine love that we have received so freely from our Heavenly Father. As we have been assured, we know that God is writing your story – we admire you and are encouraged by your love, faith, strength and courage as a mother.

Our HEART
You matter. You matter to us, and we will make sure your value is nothing short of a mother who made an ultimate loving sacrifice for her child. We do not wish for you to be a stranger that fades into the background, but a mother who is known by her child.
Meet the littlest orupabo
After seven years of waiting, praying and walking through our journey of infertility. We received our greatest blessing through adoption with the birth of our first child in September 2022!
In just twelve short months she has added so much joy and love into our home!

Family & Friends
from the heart
“We have been prayerfully waiting for the newest addition to Cody and Ellie’s family. When this baby joins their family, they are not only joining a family of unconditional love but also a community of close families who will love and support them in every way possible. -Bailey “family friend”
“Ellie has had a heart for adoption since she was a little girl. It brings tears to my eyes as we watch them go through the adoption process and wait for this precious gift. I know both Cody and Ellie are hoping for a relationship with their child’s biological family and we are thrilled as that means more family for us too!”
-Steve AKA "Grandpa”
“Ellie and Cody care for those in their lives wholeheartedly and selflessly, sacrificing of their time and resources to bless those within our community. As parents and friends- they are fun, steadfast, adventurous, generous, and faithful. Their aim in adoption is to honor the first family, and unite their family with the adopted individual’s family. It is an honor to know them and pray for the sweet child they will love completely.” -Megan “Family Friend”
“We are thrilled that Ellie and Cody are hoping to adopt a child because that means as grandparents we get to adopt as well. This child will be unconditionally loved by Cody, Ellie, McKinley, Fisher and our ENTIRE family. We are eager to get to know this precious child and their biological family!” Millie “Grandma”
“Cody and Ellie have such kind and compassionate hearts. They have the ability to make everyone around them feel so loved and understood. They are thoughtful, intentional, and joyful in their parenting and I am so excited to watch them grow their sweet family through adoption.” -John “family friend”
Have Questions?
On lazy afternoon we are hanging out in the backyard soaking up the sun, watching the kids jump on the trampoline, swing, play fetch with Carp, and play make believe. How about you? What do you enjoy when you have a free afternoon?
For us, our “go to” celebratory food is definitely anything TexMex related! We love queso, chips, and guac! What are your favs?
Hmmm…. Our favorite catch phrase/verse would be… Where God guides, God provides. “The joy of the Lord is your strength.” Nehemiah 8:10
Ours are:
> Living room dance parties & Friday night picnics
>Walks to our local donut shop before heading to the beach
> Fishing at our Texas family ranch
> Hoping on a plane and traveling to new places
> Exploring tide pools
> Tending to our garden and making mud pies
How about you?
Our Message to You...
We admire your bravery for considering this decision. While we are not fully aware of the circumstances surrounding this decision, we understand the courage it takes to place the child that you’ve carried for 9 months into the hands of another family. For that, we applaud your courage and sacrifice.
Even though you may choose us as the adoptive parents to your child, you matter. You matter to us, and we will make sure your value is nothing short of a mother who made an ultimate loving sacrifice for her child. We hope and pray that you will come alongside us during this journey, as we do not wish for you to be a stranger that fades into the background, but a mother who is known by her child. The desire of our hearts is for us to have an open adoption because we feel that your life and your story is far too important to be missing from your child’s life.
We thank you for taking the time to read about who we are as people, and we pray that God will give you peace, whatever your decision may be.
