Letter
Dear Expectant Parent
Please know that no matter what you choose, we are praying for you, your family, and this child and genuinely wish you peace, support, and comfort, especially during this time of uncertainty.
One and only pic we got with everybody looking!
We are honored you would consider us as you plan for your future. First, we want you to know the respect we have for you. We cannot pretend to understand the depth of what you are going through, but we already know you are strong, brave, and full of love! We are excited and full of hope that our lives will intersect and that a beautiful child's life will be better for this journey that we walk together. Please know that no matter what you choose, we are praying for you, your family, and this child and genuinely wish you peace, support, and comfort, especially during this time of uncertainty. We look forward to, hopefully, being able to meet you, but first, let us tell you a little more about us.
We have both dreamed of a big family from the beginning of our relationship. We both come from large families, and "our plan" was always to try to have a biological child(ren) while in medical school and adopt after school. We soon learned that God had other plans for us! While working with doctors to try to conceive, we reached a point where we felt that God was calling us to grow our family in a different way. We stopped the doctor's appointments and spent months talking, reading, learning, and praying about adoption. We applied to Gladney about six months later when we were sure that this is where God was leading our hearts! We feel so strongly that we will love a child unconditionally no matter the circumstances of how he or she is brought into the world.
We are now both doctors with two wonderful dogs and financially stable, but there is an ache and a desire in our hearts that we truly can't explain to have a little one to share our love and home with. Both of our families have walked this journey closely with us and have been so supportive of us. They are overjoyed that we are one step closer to having a beautiful child join our family. We can promise that this future little one will be surrounded by grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, and more who
will love and support this child throughout his/her life!
We hope this profile gives you a glimpse of the love we share for each other, our family, and friends and the kind of life your child could have with us. God Bless!

A little more about us together
We got married in June 2017 and have been dancing together ever since:)
Geaux Tigers
We can't hide that we are a Louisiana couple born and raised! (Although we promise to support our future child EVEN if they want to go to ALABAMA!) We first met at church on our college campus at the beginning of our junior year. We were very focused on school, but we always happened to find each other whenever we were in the library or on a dance floor. We fell in love as we found we enjoyed similar hobbies, faith, and life goals! Tyler proposed when we were halfway through medical school after two years of dating. We got married in June 2017 and have been dancing together ever since:)
We went through medical school together and learned a lot about communication, balance, and scheduling during that time. Tyler is now an internal medicine resident in his last year of training. He has signed a contract to join a group of primary care physicians after he graduates in July of 2024. Lauren works as an emergency medicine physician and academic professor. She helps train emergency medicine residents and medical students. She works about 12 shifts per month in the hospital and 4 per month in the classroom. We try to set up a routine at the beginning of every week to ensure that we make time to spend time every day together for meals, sharing about our day, and prayer. Neither of us takes call so that we can be home and present to our current and future family!
We reside in a family-centric community surrounded by numerous parks, top-notch schools, museums, a jump zone, an aquarium, and even a water park just a short drive away! Throughout the year, our state hosts a variety of festivals featuring vibrant music and delicious food! Our single-story home has three bedrooms, and our future nursery is the cutest room in the house! The heart of our home is undoubtedly the patio, where we can enjoy grilling food, soaking in sunsets, and watching the geese! Our home sits about 10 minutes from our church and the hospital we both work at!

Individually
Her radiance and compassion never cease to amaze me, and I firmly believe that her nurturing nature will make her an exceptional mother."
Wedding Reception
Tyler grew up in a small town near New Orleans. He is the middle child and has an older brother and younger sister. Tyler's parents have been married for over 35 years and have always taught the importance of family and hospitality. Tyler loves all things outdoors and even hiked across Spain with nothing but a backpack while he was in college! He is an excellent chef and loves hosting tailgates and crawfish boils. He is frequently the entertainer of the group and is always making people laugh! He even plays the guitar and sings!
What Lauren Says About Tyler:
"Tyler is an amazing man, friend, and husband. He's the most genuine and most virtuous person I have ever met. He humbly practices his faith in word and action. He is my rock, partner in life, and the first person I run to when I'm feeling down or need advice. He is very patient and willing to talk anything out with me. I love that he has so many hobbies because it brings us on adventures that I probably wouldn't have found on my own. I can't wait to watch him as a dad teaching a little one how to fish, play guitar, dance, camp, and even cook! Tyler chooses to love and honor me every day, and I know he will always do everything in his power to care for and protect his family."
Lauren grew up in a small town near Lafayette, LA. She is the oldest of seven girls! Her parents are high school sweethearts and have been married for over thirty years. Family is the most important thing to her, and she is very close to her sisters. One of her sisters lives close by with her husband and two sons, so she has had lots of practice with little ones! She loves to dance and even danced on her college dance team! She also loves traveling and exploring the outdoors with her husband, but she is more of an introvert at heart. She is prepared for any situation and has everything you could possibly need in her "Mary Poppins Purse." One of her favorite things is cuddling up with hot chocolate and a Disney movie; she can't wait to do that with a kiddo. She loves scrapbooking and adorning her home for the holidays, with a particular love for Halloween and Christmas!
What Tyler Says About Lauren:
"My wife, Lauren, is the epitome of kindness and beauty, both in soul and appearance. Her caring nature and considerate attitude not only enrich my life but also touch the lives of all those around us. Lauren's intelligence and work ethic are truly inspiring, yet her ability to uplift everyone truly sets her apart. I am filled with pride and gratitude every day for the privilege of being her husband. Her radiance and compassion never cease to amaze me, and I firmly believe that her nurturing nature will make her an exceptional mother."

Before You Go
We will do everything we can to support our child's dreams and provide a home where they always feel welcome no matter their life paths.
Christmas
We have always dreamed about being parents and raising a child in a loving home. We are very excited about this chapter in our lives and have so much love to share for this child as we expand our family. Both of our extended families are excited for us and committed to helping us raise a little one.
We can't promise we will always be perfect, but we promise to love and cherish this child unconditionally and to pray for our child for the rest of our lives. We will do everything in our power to ensure that he or she is raised with a good education and a Christian upbringing. We will bring him or her to church every week with this and pray with our children at night. We hope to provide a foundation for our children to be virtuous, caring, and responsible individuals. We also promise to have a home where we can be silly, laugh, and stick together through the good times and bad! We hope to travel across the country and around the world, learning about different people and cultures together as a family (on school breaks of course)! We will do everything we can to support our child's dreams and provide a home where they always feel welcome no matter their life paths.
We hope this profile gave you a look at our lives, and we look forward to meeting you. Thank you for taking the time to view this!
