A Letter from Adam & Taylor
Hello from Texas and thank you for considering us! We are an active and fun-loving couple who enjoy spending time with our daughter, family, and friends. We love Jesus and can’t wait to share our lives and all the amazing people in it with your child. After years of pregnancy loss, the Lord has led us to adopt and we are excited to grow our family once again! We’d love to learn more about you and foster a relationship that meets your comfort level.
About Us
We met on our first day of college, became fast friends, but quickly threw the towel in and started dating. We have now been married 11 years and are still the best of friends. We strive to learn more about each other and grow our relationship, as well as become better parents.
On days home together we love being outside whether that be exercising, doing yard work, or going on scooter rides in the neighborhood with our 5-year-old daughter. In the evenings we like to sit out on the back patio and catch up on our day, but more often than not you can find us on the couch sipping sleepy time tea while we watch a show/movie.
In our highest highs and lowest lows, we have learned a lot about remaining flexible and faithful. We feel the Lord has called and equipped us to grow our family through adoption and couldn’t be more excited about it!
Our Home in Texas
In our early years of marriage we moved around a lot for medical school and residency, but have now planted roots where we feel we will be our forever home. We live in a four-bedroom home nestled in the back of a safe and family-friendly neighborhood. Children play out in the streets and our neighbors are some of our best friends. We have a fenced in backyard with a playset.
Our home is close to an amazing elementary school, playgrounds, sports fields, and a lake with a walking + bike trail. We absolutely love our tight-knit community and all of our friends and neighbors in it. It’s the perfect place to raise a family! We have recently set up a gender-neutral nursery that can be easily added to for a boy or girl, leaving us excited and ready to welcome a sweet baby!
Our Daughter and Family
Our daughter, Summer, is energetic, compassionate, gentle, and creative. She thrives on community and prefers to stay busy with other children. One of her favorite things to do is make forts and play Barbies. She loves her friends and family and will be an incredible big sister!
We love our families and have wonderful relationships with everyone on both sides. We vacation together as a big group each summer! This dynamic is something very special to us that we know is a unique blessing.
Both of our families live in Texas as well. We typically see them once a month and talk to them weekly on the phone. Each of them are very excited and supportive of our decision to adopt!
About Taylor
Taylor runs her own online fitness accountability group and is a stay-at-home mom. She plans to return to elementary teaching after their children are school age. At home, she loves to make learning and playtime hands-on by making sensory bins, building forts, going on nature walks, and baking. She looks forward to sharing in all these fun activities with your child, too. In her free time, she enjoys exercising, embroidery, and drinking coffee while reading.
From Adam: Taylor is the most caring and selfless person I have ever met. Every day she inspires me by how she puts the needs and wants of others before her own. Anyone who spends time with her immediately feels a strong connection to her. She makes meaningful and lasting relationships with the people around her everywhere she goes. She is a loving wife and mother who constantly supports, encourages, and grounds our family.
About Adam
Adam is a pediatrician and works full-time caring for kids and families in the community. He loves people and making the most of every day. He likes to keep moving and enjoys doing things with his hands, like exercising, hunting, and woodworking.
He never turns down an opportunity for dessert and loves to spend time with our daughter, whether that be building with magnet tiles, bouncing on the trampoline, or getting his toes painted. He is excited to share these many experiences with your child and introduce them to his love for the outdoors, sports, and especially brownies!
From Taylor: Adam is a breath of fresh air. He brings joy, positivity, and connection to any room of people. Not only is he smart, hard-working, and devoted to our family and friends, he serves our community so very well. Adam thrives on adventure and spontaneity while also bringing life and laughter to the mundane. He is the best daddy to our little girl and will translate all his amazing qualities to our next child!
Our Promise
Our promise to you is to nurture and love your child unconditionally. Your child will grow up in a safe, stable, and supportive environment that is full of joy and opportunity. They will have spiritual and emotional guidance throughout their life as they develop and learn about the world, and we will root for them every step of the way!
Your child will grow up knowing their adoption story as well as how valued they are by God, you, and our family. We would be happy to share milestones with you through email, letters, texts, or visits if you so desire.

| More About Our Family | ||
| Our Faith | Our faith is central to who we are, how we choose to walk through life, and the sweet relationships we have made in our marriage. Some of our deepest and closest friendships are those in our church family. Raising our children up to know Jesus and be a light in this world is one of our most important callings, so your child would be active in our church's children's ministry. We participate in weekly services, men's/women's bible studies, children's ministry events, as well as bi-weekly community group time with other parenting couples. | |
| Our Favorite Time as a Family... | Bedtime! We all look forward to the sweet time we have together as a family right before bed. We love getting comfy in our daughter's bed, reading stories, talking about our day, singing songs, and saying a family prayer. | |
| Our Pets | We have two cats that are great with children. Sometimes we question their insane tolerance to all the smothering hugs and chasing that happens with our daughter and her friends! Simba is a 12-year-old orange tabby and still loves climbing fences and exploring the backyard. We do both love dogs also and plan to have them someday. | |
| What is your favorite thing about your home? | Taylor loves the living room. It's the heart of our home and flows directly into the kitchen and dining area where so many memories are made. She loves watching Adam chase our daughter in circles here each night after he gets home from work. Adam loves the backyard where we host playdates, Taco Tuesdays, neighborhood gatherings, etc. There is so much space to move around, play, and relax. He loves to throw on a podcast and mow for hours! Summer loves her room where all her favorite toys are. She talks non-stop about playing and sharing all these things with her brother or sister someday! | |
