Team Wood Adopts
Our Story
Written by Rachael
Our story began while we were both serving a mission for our church in Detroit, Michigan. It was there Tyler first noticed me. I never knew Tyler while in Michigan because I was just starting my missionary service, and he was about to complete his. It wasn't until approximately four years later, Tyler and I both saw each other at a mission reunion. About a month later in April, Tyler asked me out on a date. We began dating, and the rest is history as they say! Tyler proposed on July 9th, 2016, on top of Ensign peak in Utah. We were later married for time and all eternity in the Mount Timpanogos temple, on October 15th, 2016. It was a beautiful day being surrounded by family and friends whom we love dearly.
It has always been our greatest desire to have children and grow our family. We have attempted various means in our efforts to begin our family the past several years but without success. After much thought and prayer, we have received continuous answers that adoption is how we should begin our family. We strongly believe that God guided us to adoption and through this our goal of growing a family would become a reality. We put our trust in God and he blessed us with a miracle of being able to adopt our precious heavenly gift in 2021. We are so grateful for God's plan. Our little man is the happies little one and has added immense joy to our family. We would love to see him become a big brother by hoping to adopt again. We are grateful and excited to begin our journey with you!
We currently live in Utah. We love where we are living as it offers many opportunities to enjoy the beautiful mountains just outside our door. We enjoy hiking a variety of trails in the summer and snowshoeing in the winter. We live about a quarter mile from a city park where we go for walks with our dog Liam. We live in an area with convenient access to several different stores. Our neighbors are friendly and caring. There are several young families residing in our neighborhood.
