- Texas -
Hi from Texas! We’re Brant and Samantha, a family of four (plus two sweet dogs and three curious chickens!) filled with love, faith, and laughter. Our days are filled with pool time, dance parties, veggie garden harvests, and Friday movie nights, complete with popcorn and pizza. We feel incredibly blessed to be walking this adoption journey and are so grateful you’re here, learning more about us. We’d be honored to walk this path with you, whether that includes openness, future contact, or simp
Brant says: Samantha is warm, nurturing, and full of energy. She lights up any room with her smile and always finds a way to make others feel heard and loved. As a Technology Corporate Communications leader, she loves using her voice to bring clarity and connection to her company. Outside of work, Samantha is deeply involved in our kids’ school where she serves as a room mom, and enjoys tending to her vegetable garden. Samantha loves: Reading historical fiction (especially about WWII) Her book club Playing outside with the kids Planning holidays and family traditions Traveling the world (she’s been to Hong Kong, London, Tokyo, Paris, and Spain—which she especially loved!) Even though she has traveled far and wide, what brings her the greatest joy now is being home with her family, soaking up everyday moments, and creating meaningful memories. She looks forward to sharing with another child a sense of wonder, a deep faith in God, and the magic of feeling safe and unconditionally loved.
Samantha says: Brant is steady, kind, and fiercely loyal. He’s the kind of dad who builds forts, coaches t-ball, and makes our kids laugh every day. As a Software Developer, Brant enjoys solving complex problems and working with technology, but his greatest joy is being a dad. Brant loves: Spending time at our 22-acre riverfront family property Grilling with the kids in the backyard Playing card games with Samantha and friends Star Wars Eating King Ranch Chicken (his favorite meal!) He’s excited to teach another child how to skip rocks, ride a bike, swim like a fish, and grow up with strong values and a love for the outdoors.
Dear Expectant Mother,
Thank you, thank you, thank you. Thank you for being courageous and strong in the face of the incredibly difficult decision you are facing. It’s difficult to even put into words the gift you would be giving us, but we will try.
Should you choose us, your baby will be surrounded by love, warmth, and support. He or she will be raised with adoring siblings, doting aunts and uncles, close-knit cousins, and loving, grateful adoptive parents. We promise you there will be endless love, lots of laughter, and hearts full of joy.
Please know that there will never be a day that we won’t thank you, God, and the universe. There will never be a day that your baby won’t feel loved and cherished. We can promise you your baby will be safe, educated, protected, provided for, and, most importantly, loved in a home founded on faith.
It’s an honor to be considered to be the adoptive parents of your baby. We are so very grateful to you.
Love,
Sam & Brant
We believe in nurturing a child’s unique gifts while providing loving guidance, structure, and consistency. Our goal is to raise confident, kind, empathetic children who know they are unconditionally loved.
We live in a large, family-friendly city that still has a small-town feel. Our home has four bedrooms, including one we’ve lovingly set aside for a nursery. We have a big backyard where the kids and dogs play, a pool with a slide, and there’s a vegetable garden Samantha loves to tend.
Our neighborhood is filled with parks, trails, and great schools. There are museums, libraries, and fun events happening all year long. We often walk to the nearby playground or take the kids for ice cream after school. Our dogs, Buddy and Jovie, are patient, loving, and wonderful with children. Our chickens keep us entertained and supply us with fresh eggs.
We also have a peaceful 22-acre riverfront property a few hours away where we spend weekends fishing, exploring, and enjoying nature as a family. It’s one of our favorite places to relax, unplug, and make memories together.
Meet Buddy and Jovie—our two lovable, laid-back dogs who have been part of our family for seven years. We rescued them from a local shelter when they were just puppies, and they’ve grown into the most patient, gentle companions you could imagine.
They’re fantastic with kids (especially babies!) and happily tolerate everything from toddler tail-pulling to dress-up games. They spend most of their days lounging in the sun, greeting visitors with wagging tails, and waiting for crumbs to fall during dinner.
Our kids adore them, and we know they’ll be just as sweet and protective with a new little one in the house. In our home, even the dogs are family.
We have two incredible kids: Teddi is 6 and full of spirit. She’s nurturing, imaginative, and already talks about how she can help with the baby. Ezra is 4 and the sweetest little boy you’ll ever meet. He loves t-ball, swimming, and anything involving his big sister. He wants to be a cowboy when he grows up. They both attend a wonderful Catholic school and are beyond excited to welcome a baby brother or sister.
Our extended family is loving and tight knit. Samantha’s sister lives just down the street, and our kids play with their cousins all the time. Holidays, birthdays, and even random Saturdays are often filled with laughter, shared meals, and cousin sleepovers. We also have a close-knit group of friends we consider chosen family—we even did a year-long Bible study with two of our closest couple friends.
Some of our favorite family traditions include:
We promise to raise your child in a home filled with unconditional love, warmth, and faith. We will nurture their talents, support their dreams, and provide every opportunity for a bright and joyful future. Your child will grow up surrounded by laughter, guided by strong values, and encouraged to be exactly who they are.
We will always speak of you with respect, gratitude, and love. If you’d like, we are open to future contact and we will follow your lead in what feels right for you.
From our hearts to yours, thank you for considering us.
