Hi, we’re Cole and Sammy! We are appreciative and honored that you are taking the time to learn more about us! We understand that the decision you are considering is very heavy, but it is one filled with incredible courage, selflessness, and abundant love.

We were introduced in 2014 at a Christian retreat at Texas A&M. We spoke briefly, and while we didn’t stay connected, we always waved or said hi when passing each other on campus. Over a year later, Cole mentioned to a friend that he would like to...

Sammy is full of joy and can always be found with a huge smile on her face. She brings so much light to our home and relationship. She is a keen listener, a reader of many books, and a loyal and faithful friend. She is always eager to include and invest in people. This was very evident in her former role as an elementary school teacher, and even now in her work with women and families in a ministry role.

She is very active and loves an early morning run or long walk with our dog, Gus. She even completed her...

Cole is the love of my life and very best friend! He is incredibly wise, quick-witted, reliable, and steady, and Cole is a man full of integrity and character. He may come off as reserved or quiet at first, but that’s because he listens and observes. Cole is not one to want attention, and he has a humble heart. His leadership, problem-solving, and (rare) ability to stay calm in all circumstances stand out to all who know him. This is especially an incredible asset at work, where he is a construction project manager.

Our home is welcoming, clean, cozy, and bright. We love hosting and inviting friends and family over, and there is a large backyard with lots of room to play. Our back patio is a fun place to gather, play darts and yard games, and wind down in the evening while appreciating the beautiful sunsets we see from our porch. Our other favorite room in the house is our spacious kitchen. We both love to cook, and we enjoy making and sharing a meal together.

Gus, our precious pup, brings so much joy and laughter to our home!...

We have an amazing support system and a community of people who care for us deeply. They have been praying over a future child for so long and will be very excited to meet and love on them! The child will be welcomed into a wonderful crew of grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, lots of extended family, and many dear friends, both near and far, who feel like family.

Although we don’t live in the same town as our families, they are a short drive away and a constant in our lives. We talk regularly and make...

We have a balanced lifestyle of hard work, play, and rest. We love to be active, whether it’s being outdoors, completing a project together, going to a sporting event, or exploring a new area, but we always make time for and enjoy a casual day at home, too. We do our best to use our time purposefully, invest in people, and enjoy the wonderful life we’ve been given!

We want to reiterate that we think the decision you’re considering is full of love. We admire your strength and courage. Thank you again for taking the time to look at our book.

We truly dream of becoming parents. We have so much love for this future child and want what is best for them. We desire to build an open and healthy relationship with their birth family and believe that will be beneficial for all parties. For us, that looks like sharing updates and photos, and we prayerfully hope that someday we...
