Bandile is a south African citizen, he moved to the US after college. In 2021, He got married to his high school sweetheart Corey. From the early stages of their relationship they both shared a desire to grow their family and wished to do so through adoption. Once Corey completed seminary, They began their adoption process in 2018. Just a few months later their cute little Oliver was born in June 2019. They share a great open adoption relationship with her birth family and are so blessed they chose them! They have experienced both the joys and sorrows in adoption. In 2024 when They began the adoption process again, Corey and Bandile experienced a disrupted adoption. Although it was not what They had planned nor hoped for, They knew that the Lords plans are greater than theirs and they trusted that He is continuing to write Their adoption story. They also have begun to build a beautiful open adoption with Oliver’s birth family.

Bandile have a HUGE heart for adoption. He love to share, educate, and encourage others considering adoption and navigating their adoption journey. There is no greater love we can show! My hope is that I can be a support to those seeking their own little one and connect them with the perfect facilities or resource to grow their family.
