Wendy & Daryn
Are Hoping to Adopt a Baby
dear expectant mother
We wish we could fill a hundred more pages with pictures, knowing it can’t be easy to gather all that feels “necessary” when facing such a big decision. Yet, in the end, we know it’s all about trusting your heart.
If we’re lucky enough to join you on this journey, we promise to love unconditionally and remind your child every single day just how precious they are in both your eyes and ours. We will encourage them, cheer them on, and support every dream they chase. We will go on adventures, get messy, throw pebbles, and catch fish—while also welcoming all the glitter and glam they may bring into our lives.
We promise they will always know you. As a family who has experienced life’s challenges firsthand, we pass no judgment and sincerely hope for the opportunity to get to know you. No matter what kind of adoption you choose—closed, semi-open, or open—your child will always know how deeply loved they are by you. We will honor your courage and keep your presence alive in their story.
If chosen, we would love to build a connection with you in whatever way feels right and encourage you as you chase your own dreams. Hardships do not define our worth, and we’re already cheering you on as you bring a beautiful life into this world. Thank you for taking the time to read our story and letting us be a small part of yours.
Our Lifestyle
Wendy is a stay-at-home mom who always starts her day with a cup of coffee! Once the kids are off to school, her day quickly fills with housework, appointments, taxiing the kids to their activities, and planning meals. But her favorite parts of the day are the sweet moments—couch cuddles and cartoons, coloring sessions, impromptu lunch dates with Daryn at his work, and anything else the family needs.
Daryn starts his day long before anyone else is awake. He’s an Avionics Specialist in the United States Air Force. While he loves serving his country, his favorite moments are coming home to hugs and excited “Daddy!” squeals at the door. In his free time, he enjoys playing video games with the boys, family vacations, amusement parks, podcasts, fishing, and hiking trails.
Wendy loves frozen yogurt family dates, pedicures, chick flicks, bowling, and exploring state parks and botanical gardens. Together, we pretty much live life like one big adventure!
Our Home & Neighborhood
Our Family & Friends
We have a large, loving family made up of parents, siblings, grandparents, nieces, and nephews. The kids’ grandparents are truly their superheroes—bringing love, playfulness, and creativity into every moment. From saving cardboard boxes for the “next coolest clubhouse” to always having the best snacks ready, they make every visit special.
Wendy’s family is all about ranch and country life, while Daryn’s family loves camping and fishing, so the outdoors is a big part of who we are. The aunts and uncles are a close second to the grandparents—especially when it comes to spoiling the kids with the loudest toys at Christmas and birthdays!
We also have an extended family of close friends we’ve met through work, school, and church. These aren’t just friendly faces we see occasionally—they’re true friends who have invested in our lives and our children. Whether it’s church events, couples’ outings, or playdates, they bring kindness, fun, and a sense of belonging wherever we are.
What We Love About Each Other
Wendy is honest, dependable, and outgoing—she can light up a room with her conversation. She’s nurturing and never hesitates to sacrifice her own wants if it means her kids are happy. Everything she does is filled with love. I’m so grateful for a wife who gives so much of herself, loves fiercely, and is someone I can trust completely.
Daryn embraced my boys as his own, showing them what it truly means to have a dad who is present every single day. His love for family is unwavering—he never misses a game and is always ready to help wherever needed. He is a man of honor and integrity who leads with quiet strength and deep compassion. Daryn loves unconditionally and brings balance, stability, and endless love to our family.
