Embryo Adoption Profile

I’m on a Facebook support group for embryo adoption. Even though we don’t have to do an adoption profile for the donors, I thought it would be a good idea in case they come across my blog someday. Our fertility clinic does closed adoptions, but it would be nice to meet the donors eventually if the future kids have medical needs or something unforeseen should happen.

Wedding Day April 2011

Dave and Teri McCabe

• We are both in our 40’s.
• We are both members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, aka Mormons.
• Dave is from Birmingham, England (yes, he has an accent).
• Teri is from Provo, Utah.
• Dave went to an all-boys school and wore uniforms. (Yes, he would prefer his future kids to go to a school where they wear uniforms.)
• Teri was the captain of the girls’ soccer team and alternate Sterling Scholar at Timpview High School. (Teri is not a fan of formal uniforms, but thinks charter school uniforms are ok.)
• Dave graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in Law and Politics from Swansea University in Wales.
• Teri has a BS and MS in Athletic Training from Brigham Young University and almost a PhD in Dance Science.
• Dave is a huge fan of Aston Villa Football Club.
• Teri refuses to have a red car because she did not go to the University of Utah. She is 3^rd generation BYU!
• Dave works for a cable company (not really sure if I’m allowed to say which one?)
• Teri specializes in Performing Arts medicine, but is now a stay-at-home-future-mom.
• Dave has one brother and one sister. He is 21 years older than his brother, so he was more like a father figure.

Dave and his sister Louise

• Teri has one brother, a sister-in-law, one nephew, and three nieces (future cousins).

• Dave and Teri own their house in Provo, have two cats, Goldy and Sir Pawsingham, and they are still learning how to grow vegetables in the garden (there are lots of weeds).

• Dave and Teri want their future kids to learn golf, ballroom dancing, and piano. Golf because it is a good family activity that can be done throughout a lifetime, ballroom dancing because it teaches good teamwork and communication, and piano because it’s a necessary skill being Mormon.
• Dave served in the England Bristol Mission.

• Teri served in the South Africa Cape Town Mission.

• Dave prefers swimming.
• Teri loves CrossFit.
• Dave’s favorite Prime Minister was Tony Blair.
• Teri hopes to be a future PTA president at the local elementary school where the kids will attend.  
• Our favorite vacation was to Paris, Switzerland, and Italy with Teri's parents, brother and sister-in-law. 

Anything else I should put on the profile?
