Hello! We live in rural Nebraska on large farm where we raise cows. We are active in our community and enjoy serving and supporting our neighbors. It’s important to us to show our children what it’s like to work hard and to give back to the people around us. We love being parents and raising our son together. It’s been our dream to grow our family. After going through challenges with infertility, we know in our hearts that adoption is the path meant for us to add a child to our lives. We’d love to get to know you and your child through this process!
A Little About Us
Our Story, as told by Caitlin: I roomed in college with one of Kiley’s best high school friends. A few years after graduation I visited Kiley’s home town with my college roommate who took me to the town fall festival, where she introduced me to Kiley. We made a small bet about meeting up the next morning to gather bulls at Kiley’s ranch—Kiley didn’t think I would show up, but I got there a few minutes early. I won the bet and the rest is history. We have been happily married for 15 years!
As a couple we enjoy:
• Watching any Husker sports teams
• Going to see Rockies or Royals baseball games
• Golfing
• Coaching our son’s sports and cheering him on at games
• Taking our Ranger out to check on the cattle or crops
• Fishing
About Caitlin
According to Kiley: Caitlin is a very smart and driven person. You can always count on her to get things done, whether it’s a DIY project or planning our next vacation. She puts a lot of time in to make sure things are done right. I love that Caitlin is always in my corner, no matter the situation we’re going through. She puts her family first every time. She’s a dedicated and caring mother and I have no doubt her love for our next child will be instant and unending.
Caitlin’s interests: (other than sports and time with Kiley and Tucker!)
• Playing volleyball
• Planting flowers and vegetables with Tucker
• Volunteering on local boards for the farm service agency, our community foundation, the 4-H livestock auction, and our youth sports committee
• Baking and decorating sugar cookies
• Knitting
• Reading
About Kiley
According to Caitlin: Kiley is a very caring person who often puts the needs of others first. I love his ability to make friends and have conversations with people he doesn’t know. Kiley is a loving, involved father who stays active in our son’s life. He will drop everything if Tucker asks him to play Transformers or go help around the farm. It lights him up to take our son to work around the farm with him!
Kiley’s interests: (other than golfing, fishing, farming, or sports!)
• Going to a movie with Caitlin and Tucker
• Board games with family
• Cooking
• Serving as the 4-H council president and beef barn superintendent for our county fair
• Auctioneering for community fundraisers
Life in Our Family
Our son, Tucker, is 7 years old and has a caring, tender, helpful heart. He has a great energy and loves to play hard. Tucker is involved in youth sports, like flag football, wrestling, and coach pitch. We love being at his games and helping him practice. He’s good with other children, especially the babies and younger kids in his daycare. We know Tucker will be an awesome big brother.
Our family is all about time together and Tucker gets into the things we enjoy, as much as we get into his interests and activities. We are so excited about adding another child to the family fun!
Favorite things we do as a family:
• Golfing
• Swimming
• Reading books
• Playing cards or board games
• Watching the Huskers
Our Home in Nebraska
We live in a small, rural area away from the hustle of a big city. The town has a close-knit community who are welcoming and supportive of each other. We love that the school here has small class sizes so that the students get plenty of time with their teachers as needed, as well as a closeness with other children in their class. When we need a little “city fix,” we’re close enough to Denver, Lincoln, and Omaha to enjoy a weekend away.
Our home is out in the country on an 18 acre property, though our farm and cattle ranch are over several thousand acres nearby. We have a ranch style house with a basement and second floor. The room across from our bedroom will become our future child’s nursery after we adopt. We love having land where there is a lot of room to run around and play, explore, and learn about the farm animals or wildlife. It’s a beautiful place to grow up!
From Our Hearts
It means a lot to be considered as adoptive parents for your child. We promise in our family your child would have a loving and safe environment to grow up in. We promise to be open with him or her about how we came together through adoption, and to keep the lines of communication open with you, if you want to stay in touch. We want them to know they can ask us questions and talk about their story. Our hope is for this child to grow up knowing how much love has surrounded them from the start.
We are very involved parents and enjoy being active together or having quality time at home. We will raise our children to be respectful, polite, and helpful to others. We’re both college educated and will encourage our children to learn and get the training or skills they need to pursue their career goals or interests.
We hope to get to know you more, if you’re comfortable, and would love to hear about the dreams and wishes you have for your child’s future. We’ll make sure your child knows how much you mean to us. To connect with us, please call or text Lifetime at 1.800.923.6784.
With love, Kiley & Caitlin

More About Our Family
What's Important to Us
We value family, friendships, and our faith. We spend a lot of time with extended family and close friends. In our circle there are lots of cousins and children that our son enjoys time with. Relationships are important to us and we hope to show our children how to nurture and maintain positive connections with people they love. We also have a strong faith and attend a welcoming and engaging church together. We will always keep an open conversation about God and Jesus with our children so they can grow up learning to lean on faith and trust in God. In addition, we both love playing or watching sports and the opportunity they give us to stay active, have fun, and also connect with others in our community.
Extended Family & Traditions
We come from loving, supportive, connected families. Most of our loved ones are within driving distance. We live 4 miles from Kiley’s parents and an hour from Caitlin’s parents. Both sets of grandparents are very involved in Tucker’s life and are always there to help us out, if needed. Caitlin is the youngest of 4 siblings and we see her brother and sisters. Kiley is the second oldest out of 4 siblings, with an older brother and two younger sisters. We get together with our families several times a year and love keeping up with each other’s lives.
Our Family Loves:
• Going out on Kiley’s brother’s boat with his side of the family
• Big holiday get-togethers with both of our families at the same time (even for Mother’s and Father’s Day!)
• “Cousin weekends” with the younger nephews and nieces (we have 2 nieces and 10 nephews!)
• Tubing in the snow
Animals Around Our Farm
We have 2 dogs and several cats who keep the property and farm animals check. Maggie is our Border Collie/Heeler mix who is great with children and so sweet. Max is our Great Pyrenees/Bernese Mountain Dog mix who is super friendly and lovable (plus the cats adore him!). Alvin is our inside/outside cat who we bottle fed as a kitten. In addition to the cattle herd, we also have 4 horses, named Dunner, Ron, Klutz, and Pockets, as well as a calf that we bottle fed last year, and a pony, Spot. Things stay interesting around our place with all these animals!
Top 3 Thoughts on Parenthood

Thank you for your time to learn a little about us! We'd love to be chosen as adoptive parents for your child and hope to get to know you better through the process.
