Dear Birth Parent
We hope that seeing the excitement, love, and care in our profile will give you a sense of confidence and comfort through these next steps.
Nice to meet you!
Thank you. Whether you choose us to raise your child or not, thank you. Without adoption, our family wouldn't be here. Wyatt's mother was adopted (from Gladney). Because her birth mother made that brave decision, we're able to be here writing to you now. Whatever circumstances brought you to this place and to meeting these families, we know that it hasn't been and won't be easy. Whatever you're feeling right now is valid. We hope that seeing the excitement, love, and care in our profile will give you a sense of confidence and comfort through these next steps.
We are grateful for you, for your courage and care, and that you're considering us to love and care for your child!
Our Story
We know how to find beauty and create those storybook moments.
Our Wedding
We’ve been best friends since 2008 and began dating in 2009. After moving to opposite sides of the country for school and then back home again in 2016, we got married in 2019. We met in college at Southern Methodist University. We were both music majors at the time. Michael’s still a musician and keeps Wyatt connected to that world. We’ve changed a lot over the 17+ years since we first met. Over 15 years of school and 10 different places, we’ve lived between the two of us, and we still find ourselves learning from each other and most at home together.
From our early days together and late nights in downtown Dallas to FaceTime dates 3 time zones apart to early morning coffee on our porch to becoming parents, we’ve enjoyed changing together. The thing that remains consistent is how we complement each other. When Wyatt comes home heavy from a long day at work, Michael makes him laugh. When Michael is nervous about an upcoming performance, Wyatt calms him down.
We’re a therapist and a teacher. We know how to talk about feelings and to learn from our difficult experiences. We’re also an artist and an author. We know how to find beauty and create vivid moments in life full of vitality. Getting to this point, has been our story so far. We can’t wait to see what this next chapter looks like!
Why Adoption
We are incredibly excited to be welcoming a new child home.
2023 placement with our son Caleb
First, Wyatt is here because of adoption. His mom’s adoptive parents loved her more than anything. She has this same love for Wyatt and we, in turn, have this love for our kids.
Second, we took a huge step toward completing our family in 2023 when we adopted our son, Caleb. His joyful nature brings so much gladness to our home. He plays so happily with his friends that we can't wait to see him become a big brother. We are blessed to get to work with Gladney again to grow our family.
We are incredibly excited to be welcoming a new child home, and we are extremely grateful that you’re considering us to love and raise your child.
We Promise!
We promise they’ll know that they came into this world loved and cared for.
Thank You!
Again, thank you. Thank you for reading through our adoption profile and any others you might read today. This child is already blessed by the time and care you’re taking to pick their future family today. We hope to continue what you’ve begun. We promise to love them unconditionally and to give them every opportunity to thrive. We promise they’ll never doubt their worth, importance, or place in our home.
We promise they’ll know that they came into this world loved and cared for. And they always will be!
