Bryce & Hayley

Hello! We are a fun and loving couple who value keeping our faith strong and our family close. Everything we’ve been through in our lives has given us huge hearts for encouraging others and helping them know they are loved and supported. We love music and both sing on the worship team at church (that’s also how we met!). After years of experiencing infertility treatments and miscarriages, we truly believe God has led us to adoption. We’re ready and excited to raise a child together through adoption! It would be an honor to learn more about you and your child, as well as what a connection with us could look like.

Our Life Together

How we met, as told by Hayley: We met at church when Bryce was serving as Minister of Music. (My mom was actually his assistant!) I was in the choir and would sing alongside Bryce as one of his soloists on Sundays. We have been married over 4 years, a couple for 6 years, but we feel like we’ve known each other for a lifetime.

Things we love to do:
• Grocery shopping and running errands (we even have a little song for our “Shopping adventures!”)
• Working out
• Bowling
• Family cruise vacations
• Singing at church
• Binge television shows
• Family game nights
• Traveling
• Sports and going to games

About Hayley

Bryce says: Hayley is the most wonderful wife. She is unconditional in her love and support, passionate about her faith, and full of joy even through hard situations. Her sense of humor always makes me laugh out loud. She’s creative and has an eye for the details. Hayley can do anything she puts her mind to! My wife allows her faith to guide and shape her heart every day, which comes out in her relationships and connections with others. She loves to help others and lift their spirits! Hayley loves my two grown sons and cheers them on as they navigate their own dreams and goals. I know she will be the most loving, devoted, fair-minded, encouraging mother. I can’t wait to raise a child with her.

Hayley is into:
• Singing
• Baking and cake decorating
• DIY craft projects
• Volunteering at our church with the music ministry and other women’s events
• Watching Hallmark movies and girly reality TV shows

About Bryce

Hayley says: Bryce is a loving and devoted husband who listens and hears without judgement. He leads by God’s example in all he does. Bryce has two grown sons from a previous marriage, and he says being a dad is his favorite thing. He’s a wonderful father! He is funny, gentle, and loves with everything in him. Bryce stands firm in his faith and integrity, and has a love for life and family. I even love his little quirks! He makes me feel loved, respected, and lifted up every day. It lights him up to lead choirs and orchestras, and plan music events at church, such as Easter musicals and Christmas programs. He’s felt a calling to ministry since high school and he loves that God is fulfilling that calling through his music. I know that Bryce will bring the same passion he’s had for his family and faith into raising our future child. He or she will know without any doubt that they have a dad who is always there for them.

Bryce is into:
• Dallas Cowboys football
• Watching movies at the theater
• Reading sci-fi and Christian fiction novels
• Playing video games
• Grilling out

Our Home in Texas

We live in central Texas where it’s hot most of the year, but it means we get a lot of pool time too. What we enjoy most about where we live is how close we are to our family. We love our neighbors too! It’s like an old sitcom neighborhood, where everyone takes care of and looks out for each other like friends. We also like living where there are many attractions to enjoy, including waterparks, scenic rivers for floating, a historic downtown, and our favorite grocery store chain.

Our single-story home has three bedrooms and a nice little yard. We look forward to decorating the room we’ve set aside to become our future child’s nursery. This will be a great place to raise our family!

Our Family

Bryce has two grown sons who live out of state. They are both musically talented, like Bryce; Logan is an opera singer, and Zack is a musician as well. We keep in touch regularly and know they will be wonderful big brothers.

We have extended family locally and also around Texas. Bryce comes from a small family and Hayley’s family is big (we have 6 nieces and 4 nephews on her side!). We all stay very connected and even vacation together. We enjoy big (fun!) get-togethers for birthdays, holidays, random weekly dinners, and game nights. We also go to church with Hayley’s parents and her sister’s family. Time with each other is important to us all, and we love road trips to visit loved ones who live further away. Everyone has been excited about and supportive of our plans to adopt!

From Our Hearts...

It means so much to us to be considered as adoptive parents for your child. We want you to know that we have already been praying for you and the decisions you’re facing. We promise we will love and protect your little one, and to honor our connection with you as well. If you want an open adoption, we would love to include you with updates, photos, and occasional visits, as your child grows up. We will make sure your child knows they can ask questions and know the truth about how we all came together through adoption. You will always be someone we speak highly of in our home.

We also promise your child will know of God’s love for him or her and that there is purpose in their life. We will help them discover their passions by giving them opportunities to learn and develop their strengths or interests. As parents, we will model honesty and integrity, while encouraging our child to be loving, supportive, and accepting of others. This little one will know they’ve been loved and prayed for from the start.

We think that open adoption can be a wonderful gift and chance to allow a child to be loved in many ways. We would love to talk with you about what that relationship could look like, at your comfort level. To learn more or connect with us call or text Lifetime at 1.800.923.6784.

Much love, Bryce & Hayley
