Dear Birthmom

Dear Expectant Mother,

We want to take a moment to share our gratitude with you and tell you how much we admire you for your courage and selflessness throughout this journey. To put the needs of your baby before your own is commendable and extremely brave, and we understand that this may be one of the most difficult decisions you will make in your entire life. The amount of love you have for your baby is clear to us simply by the compassion you have to consider the process of adoption. We cannot begin to express how blessed we feel that you are considering us to parent your child, and if given the opportunity, we look forward to watching them grow.

We will be so thrilled to share all of your baby’s new milestones, experience new adventures together, and take family vacations to our favorite places in the world. We want to introduce them to all of the outdoorsy activities we love to do, share our love for animals with each other, and teach them how to be the best person they can be. If chosen, we will love them, cherish them, and be grateful every day for the blessing you’ve given us.

May God be with you throughout this journey, and may light shine on this miracle you will experience.

With tremendous love and gratitude,
Tanya and Cody

Our Story

We are Cody and Tanya, and we currently reside in North Carolina. We met at a gym where Cody was coaching in January of 2017. We first became really good friends then later fell in love with each other. Cody proposed to Tanya while hiking in Arizona in the summer of 2019, and we got married a year later in Charleston, South Carolina. Tanya is a generous, loving, and compassionate person who worked with children for 15 years through the sport of gymnastics. Cody is patient, loyal, and hardworking and is now in law enforcement after being a strength and conditioning coach. We love to be active through outdoor activities as well as working out in a gym. We love traveling, animals, food, and spending time with family. Our dream is to grow our family and to have a small farm we can raise our children on.

 Our Extended Family

We both have small, tight-knit, and loving families, and we each have one brother. Tanya’s brother is the father of two beautiful children, our niece and nephew who are 10 and 4 years old. Cody’s brother is currently engaged and soon to be married in 2026.We visit Tanya’s family in Michigan and Cody's family in Ohio often. Both families visit us frequently as well. We love doing everything with family from seasonal/ holiday activities, dinners, swimming and water parks when the weather is warm and celebrating both the little and big things in life. We take family vacations together and enjoy creating memories and watching our niece and nephew grow.

 Our Home

We live in a ranch-style home in a quiet, friendly neighborhood. Our home is in a small, safe, rural town in a well-rated school district. Our home is a quick drive away from a bigger town and about 35 minutes to a big city. We have two Labrador retrievers, Maverick, and Charlie. Both of our dogs have grown up around our niece and nephew and love being around children. They are playful, gentle, and loving animals.

 Our Journey to Adoption

Since being married, we have tried having kids and learned we have fertility issues. We explored the possibilities of fertility treatments, and after careful thought and research, we decided adoption is the path we want and are meant to take instead. From the beginning of our relationship, we have openly discussed how we would eventually want to adopt. Cody has multiple cousins who were adopted, and this has always been something he has seen in his future. Tanya has always been touched by adoption stories and has been a second mom to the children she has coached in gymnastics over the years, so the idea of adoption was an easy choice.
