A Letter from Tyler & Amanda
Hi there! We are excited to share a little bit about ourselves with you, and we are very much looking forward to learning more about you! We feel very blessed with the amazing life that we have and are excited to share it with your child. We were blessed to welcome our daughter, Eva, into the family in 2021 and we are expecting our second child in August! We are also thrilled to grow our family through adoption. We will provide your child with a house full of love and laughter, lots of grace, tons of family, and unforgettable trips and adventures. Most of all, we will teach your child about Jesus and raise him/her in a family that was built on a foundation of faith. We would love to learn more about your hopes and dreams! We are open to pictures, letters, and visits based on your comfort level.
All About Us
We met seven years ago through a group of mutual friends. We were all planning a short mission trip to Guatemala and were able to really bond through this fun experience. Since then, our life has been filled with many more wonderful moments shared together, a precious daughter, and so much love. While our daughter is still very young, we enjoy reading stories to her, cuddling with her, and bonding with her every second we can. We also enjoy taking her on weekend trips to see family! In our free time, we go to new restaurants, go to baseball, football, and basketball games, bake together, spend time with family, and just cherish the small moments of life together.
We are so excited to share all of this with your child! Mostly, we cannot wait to read books together, play in the playroom, have movie nights, and teach our child everything that we know. Our home is always full of love and fun!
My Husband, Tyler
Tyler is the most consistent and loving person that I know. He has been the absolute best partner for the past seven years and he is the best dad to our daughter. Tyler is a Youth Pastor at a wonderful church in our town. I love leading with him in our church and seeing how compassionate he is toward others. In his free time, Tyler watches baseball, enjoys reading, baking, and spending time with family. He will be such a fun and caring father and he is so excited to pass on his love of travel, learning, baking, and baseball to your child.
My Wife, Amanda
Amanda is one of the most fun and caring people I’ve ever met. She is a Case Manager for Spinal Cord Injury Patients at a Hospital in our town. She is incredibly driven and focused, but is also very laid back and funny. She is always trying out new recipes in the kitchen, planning new fun events and trips for us, and decorating our home in new and different ways. She is also always willing to help wherever she sees that help is needed and genuinely cares for every person she meets. She is an amazing and very nurturing mother to our daughter and is so excited to pass on her creative spirit as well as her love for trying new things to her and our next child.
Our Home Sweet Home in Kentucky
We live in a wonderful four-bedroom home in a beautiful family-friendly neighborhood. There are always children playing outside and we talk with all of our neighbors. Our neighborhood has some lovely outdoor areas with gazebos and flower gardens to explore, and we live centrally located to great schools and local shops and restaurants. We have loved creating a nursery filled with special little details and lots of cozy touches! We also have a playroom filled with toys and tons of books and a fenced in backyard for playing. Amanda loves to re-design rooms and chooses beautiful and sentimental pieces to display around the home.
Our Family
Our daughter, Eva, is such a joy in our lives! She loves bedtime stories, lots of snuggles, and always giggles in excitement when we visit her grandparents. We are so excited for her to have a sibling to grow up with!
We have a large extended family and most of them live in our town, or in the next town over. We often spend weekends with family or meet them for dinner after work in the evenings. Adoption is close to all of our hearts and they cannot wait to welcome your child into our family! Tyler’s parents own a sheep and honey farm and they cannot wait to teach your child all about sheep and freshly grown fruits and vegetables. Amanda’s dad and stepmother are creative and great at fixing everything! They look forward to teaching your child how to build things from scratch! Amanda’s mother and step-father already have a room put together filled with tons of toys to spend lots of quality time with your child.
Our Promise
We promise to help your child grow into the best version of themselves, do silly and fun things with them every single day, give them abundant grace, and teach them everything that we know. Above all, we promise to give them a home and family filled with faith and prayer. We will surround your child with a supportive and nurturing family that celebrates your child and all of their achievements in life. We promise to be the best version of ourselves for them and to love them with our whole hearts.
We would love to have an open relationship with you and even your family based on your comfort level. We are open to letters, pictures, and visits. We will honor your child’s heritage and background and teach them all about their own history.

| More About Our Family | ||
| Our Special Interests | We absolutely love spending time with family and friends. We also love traveling to new places - even if just for the weekend. Not only are we adventurous with travel, but we are also adventurous with food. We love to try new local restaurants, food from different cultures, and of course we have some favorite staples. We have tons of neighborhood get-togethers with friends and family - there is always something to celebrate! We also love to work puzzles, watch movies, bake, and just be silly with each other. Laughter often fills our house! | |
| Our Faith | Faith and spirituality is very important to us. We believe that Jesus teaches us how to love unconditionally and that we should share that love with others. Tyler is a student pastor and we spend lots of time at our church. We have so many fun memories leading youth and worshiping together. Our faith is the foundation of our relationship together and the foundation of everything that we do. We truly feel that the most important thing we will teach a child is the love of Jesus. Because of our faith we believe in grace, mercy, and compassion. | |
| Our Musical Interest | Music is so much fun! Tyler enjoys Needtobreathe. He can also play the guitar and sing, and he often does this at church. Amanda likes to listen to a large variety of music. Taylor Swift, Bethel, Beyonce, etc. The list could go on and on. We usually listen to music in the car and while cooking dinner. | |

We live very close to a top rated elementary school, a beautiful park, and a quiet walking trial. Our house is covered with photos of special memories and different things we have collected from our travels. Amanda enjoys home decor and often re-designs a room. We have a nursery and a playroom right down the hall. My favorite thing about our house is the swing on the front porch, the nursery, and of course the living room where we spend most of our time. | |
