David and Ashley’s Adoption Love Story

Like many couples in love, David and Ashley married and wanted to start a family.

When they realized getting pregnant was not possible, they made the decision to explore adoption with Volunteers of America Greater New Orleans. Five days before Christmas 2015, David and Ashley lovingly welcomed their son Beckett Christian to their family; it's a holiday they will cherish forever.

An adopted child herself, Ashley says that God led her and her husband to Volunteers of America and to their angel on earth – the Adoption Program's social worker who shared the incredible three-year journey with them. They are especially thankful to Beckett's birth mother for her selfless act of love and for turning to Volunteers of America for assistance with her unplanned pregnancy.
