We are Kevin and Michelle Pace. Thanks for visiting! After years of longing, prayer, more longing and more prayer, we know that God has now led us to adopt. We have wanted to add kids to our marriage for a very long time, but  up to this point God had other plans for us.


Our story begins in 1971. Kevin was born in Georgia and I in Seattle. Both of us had similar upbringings in that we had the blessing of being raised in families that loved God and loved us.  The major difference was that he was raised in the southeast while I in the northwest. It has been fun to blend the two cultures in our marriage!

Kevin grew up in rural Villa Rica, GA. His early years were spent playing in the woods, riding his bike and basically doing anything outdoors that he could. He accepted Jesus as his Lord and Savior at the age of seven. Kevin's family is very musical. At 13, he started learning the guitar, which led to the mandolin and eventually the banjo and fiddle. Kevin trained in computer-aided drafting and enjoys a career in that field. When he is not doing that, he uses his musical gifts singing and playing in a gospel bluegrass band called Kevin Pace and the Early Edition. He also enjoys photography. Some of his pictures can be seen on our photos page. Kevin's heart desire is to help people, and that takes various forms. He is usually the one to suggest having someone over for dinner or to help someone in some way.

I grew up in Spokane, WA. From the time I was five years old, I knew I was a mother at heart. I would spend my days caring for my dolls just as if they were real babies, and dreamed of one day having my own. I was blessed to attend a Christian school for all 12 years, and was very active in my church's youth group. I accepted Christ as my savior when I was five, but that didn't become personal to me until I was in my teens. I worked as a medical secretary for four years and then was hired at Whitworth College as a program assisstant in 1994, where I have worked ever since.

Kevin and I met online in May, 2007. It was not long before we met in person, and then were married in May, 2008. We are each other's soulmate, and are so thankful to God for bringing us together. We decided to try for a baby in November, 2009. When we discovered that I was pregnant, we were thrilled, but that joy was short-lived as we soon found that I had miscarried.  Two more pregnancies followed, each ending in miscarriage. To say we were devastated would be an understatement, but we know that we will see those babies again one day.

As time went on and no further pregnancies occurred, I decided that God evidently didn't have kids for us, so I asked him to take away the desire to be a mother and to give me a desire for whatever it was that he wanted me to do. But he didn't take the desire away. In fact, the desire grew. We talked about adoption, but at the time it just wasn't right for us.

Fast-forward to last summer! God began working in both of our hearts about adoption. At the same time, Kevin was diagnosed with stage 1 colon cancer. Processing two such major things was difficult, to say the least, and we wondered why God had allowed it (We still do, but we know he had a good reason.). Kevin had a colon resection in July, but that surgery failed, and two weeks later we found ourselves fighting for his life with an emergency surgery. He spent weeks in the hospital, most of that time unable to eat anything by mouth. He was discharged from the hospital in October. After nearly a year, he is almost back to full strength. It has been the biggest trial of our lives thus far, but we are incredibly thankful to the Lord for bringing us through. Kevin's prognosis is very good, and again we're very thankful.

Over the course of this year, our desire to adopt has only grown stronger, and we are pursuing this whole-heartedly, knowing that God has a plan. We are asking our friends and family to spread the word as we are not using an agency. Visit our Contact Us page to get in touch!

Please pray with us on this journey, and thank you so much for being a part of it!
