We are optin' for adoption! Follow along as we share our why, how, and who.

04/06/2024

Hi friends! It’s been a while since we posted and it’s because things have been GOOD & BUSY! As you may know, after many years struggling with infertility, we welcomed our darling baby boy last year. Brooks Todd joined our family in July and we have loved having a kiddo around! He is the very best thing about every day and we are so incredibly grateful he came to us.

We had hopes that an adoption would work out by now as well. But, despite being with our agency for over two years and showing our profile to many mothers in the last several months, nothing has panned out. Because of this, we have decided to not move forward with renewing our home study at this time.

It has been a difficult decision to not renew our home study as that takes us off the list for potential last-minute placements and puts a six-month deadline to renew before the agency no longer considers us clients. However, the home study costs several hundred dollars each time we renew ($500+) and we don’t feel like it’s right to continue spending that when there’s been no traction on a placement for us.

Our agency has unfortunately hit a very slow time and have even had to lay off staff because they haven’t had the number of placements they need to keep the business afloat. We are so saddened by this: obviously that affects our likelihood of a placement, but it is also disheartening that an ethical adoption agency is struggling so badly. We need more companies like them in the industry and hope that they are able to return to full operation soon!

In the meantime, we have all adoption funds in a separate account for the adoption we hope takes place someday. Even though we may not be working with an agency at this time, we are still open to a private adoption should the opportunity present itself, so please keep our names in mind if you ever hear of a little one who needs a loving home.

Being parents is everything we dreamed of and more, and we know Brooks will make a wonderful sibling some day. Our family is so full of love and would be overjoyed to expand that love by welcoming in another child. Thank you for supporting us as we’ve tried to grow our family, and thank you for continual support as we navigate the changes life inevitably brings.

Much love,
Dailie and Tanner

dailie here! i’ve been at a conference this week focusing on resilience. while the main focus of the presentations was for resilience in higher education, so many of the messages resounded with me through an adoption lens. i know you’ve heard us say it before, but this journey is long and can feel very discouraging/lonely/sad/infuriating/[insert literally any negative adjective here]. i have especially been stuck in this “bummer land” following our miscarriage in august. the messages from the conference reminded me of the strength, the support, and the hope that is available if we can just reach out to touch it. so here’s some snippets that have stuck to my brain and heart over the last few days. i hope they help you in some way too.

•being strong doesn’t happen at the destination; it happens with the first step
•you can change your plan and still create success
•fear can be anxiety or excitement
•we go through something hard because there’s something better on the other side. if you give up now, you won’t ever get there
•small steps get you to big goals

much love to everybody 🤍

hello! we wanted to take a moment to give everyone here a huge thank you for all the support you have shown us over the last six months. we have been so fortunate to be on the receiving end of such love from friends, family, and complete strangers. donations have come in from not only across the country, but across the world! we received countless messages from people lending a shoulder to cry on when we told our story of our “first baby.” this community continues to share our posts and spread the word of our efforts to grow our family. for all these things and more, we sincerely, from the bottom of our hearts and clear down to our toes, say thank you. thank you for being our people. thank you for loving us. and thank you for loving our future baby 🤍

so many amazing individuals have gotten us to this point. I wish insta didn’t have a character limit so I could share them all, but a few highlights:

•an anonymous donation left in a plain envelope with a sweet and encouraging note
•an extra “tip” when we delivered a couch
•all the pictures of your babies and loved ones in beanies, headbands, and scrunchies we made
•the check-in messages we’ve received making sure we’re well (this is an emotional process—those check-ins mean more than we could say!)
•so so much more

I don’t know how we got so lucky to have such wonderful people in our lives, but we’ll never stop being grateful.

lots of love, tanner and dailie🤍
