Welcome To Our Adoption Blog

Thank you for taking the time to visit our blog. We hope this will allow you to become better acquainted with us and our family. We realize the difficult decision ahead of you and that you’ll be putting your trust in someone you’ve never met. If you feel it is right to entrust us with the gift of your child we want you to know that your child will be treasured and loved with all our hearts. Our greatest desire is to become parents and we want you to know that we are thankful for your selflessness in considering bringing this miracle into our home. We will teach your child of the great love that you have for them and the brave decision that you made. We pray that our Father in Heaven will bless you with His spirit and guide you in choosing what is best for you and your child. You are in our prayers and we will always have a special place for you in our hearts.

We are aware of the many decisions and feelings weighing on your heart and mind at this time and appreciate the courage you’ve shown in considering adoption as a possibility. If you select us it is our promise that your child will be nourished physically, socially, academically, and spiritually. We know that we can provide a loving home for the wonderful spirit you are going to bring into this world. Love, security, and faith make up the foundation upon which we build our home.

With Love,
Tyler & Kathy

Our Story

We just celebrated our sixth wedding anniversary! We love each other very much and have a strong and enduring friendship which we continue to nourish today by spending as much time together as possible. We feel so blessed to have this relationship and are excited about our future. We love being outdoors and live an active lifestyle. Whether it’s camping, hiking, biking, going to the beach, or just taking walks and enjoying the sunshine, the time we spend together is precious. We both love to travel and try and go on two or three vacations per year and at least one road trip per month. Whenever we move to a new area we always explore all the fun sites around us. We love children and have plenty of practice caring for them through watching our nieces and nephews and through various church callings. We both place a lot of value on time with our families. Tyler comes from a family of five children and Kathy from a family of four. We love to go to our nieces’ and nephews’ birthdays, baptisms, sporting events, dance recitals and school plays. Both our families enjoy spending time together and always find excuses to go out to dinner or throw a barbeque or have other family gatherings.

Goals as Parents

It has always been our dream to have children. As a young girl Kathy would love spending time playing with her dolls, pretending they were her babies. Kathy has a love of children, and can’t wait to have kids of her own. Tyler also loves kids, and looks forward to the time when he can coach their little league teams. Below are just a few of the goals we have as parents.

To provide a happy, loving home
To teach by example
To go on family vacations
To provide piano lessons
Coach their little league teams
Provide opportunities for college
Create strong bonds with extended family
Help them achieve their full potential

These are just a few of the goals that we have. We want you to know that if you choose to entrust us with your child, we will provide a loving home with caring parents. And we will provide every opportunity for this precious baby to learn and grow. Our goal is to help this baby to develop their God given talents and succeed in whatever he or she chooses to do in life.
