Faith Enyeart was born on September 15, 1942, Seattle, Washington.〔George, Hunter T. "Seven seek only open position on Washington Supreme Court", ''The Oregonian'', September 9, 1998, p. D2.〕 She was raised in neighboring Burien where she graduated from Highline High School in 1960.〔Haugen, Sharon Hofstra. ("Faith Enyeart Ireland receives Highline High Alumnus of the Year award" ), ''Highline Times'', June 26, 2013.〕 Following high school she attended the University of Washington in Seattle where she graduated with a bachelor of arts degree in 1965.〔(www.faith-ireland.com ), Retrieved on February 22, 2014.〕 She then graduated from law school at Willamette University College of Law in 1969, earning a juris doctorate from the Salem, Oregon, school.〔 In law school she was one of only two women in her graduating class.〔
While an undergraduate in college at the age of 22, the unmarried Ireland became pregnant with a daughter.〔McMahon, Patrick. "Adoptees' rights group gets support in Wash.", ''USA TODAY'' September 11, 2000, p. 2A.〕 After discussing the situation with her parents, she went to a special home for single mothers in Colorado where she gave birth.〔Le, Phuong. "Faith Ireland says she had baby as teen", ''Seattle Post-Intelligencer'', September 9, 2000, p. B1.〕 Ireland put the baby up for adoption, in what she called "...one of the worst things that ever happened in my life" and "the hardest decision I've ever had to make in my life."〔 She later joined an adoption registry and re-united with her then adult daughter in 1997.〔〔 Ireland chose to speak out about the adoption as a Justice, saying "I wanted to help reduce some of the shame around issues of adoption and let young people know that you can be a birth parent and still go on and have a successful career and a successful life."〔Cook, Rebecca. ("Supreme Court justice won't seek a second term" ), Associated Press, February 11, 2004.〕
