Hello! We are Haley and Tim ! Thank you for taking the time to learn a little bit about us as you are trying to find the perfect home for your little one. We hope our profile gives you a glimpse into who we are and how excited we are to grow our family. Being parents has been our dream and we are so excited for who God will bring into our home for us to love!

Tim is so much FUN! Whether it is his multiple different accents he can do, his grinch impression or his willingness to be in the middle of the dance floor at a wedding- you will always have fun with Tim! I’ve never met a guy who draws kids in so quickly because of his silliness and his desire to just play and not care about how much time passes. He is very present with people even if it means playing hide and go seek with kids for hours! He never sees time with people as a waste. 

Tim is a steady, consistent man of God who loves people. Tim always desires to invite people into his life and create memories. His energy is contagious! He has a solid personality that you can always count on to be the same no matter what the situation is. 

Tim loves adventure. You can always find Tim trying to find a way to get in the ocean for a lobster dive early in the morning or find him watching a sunrise while on vacation. He is always eager to see a side of the earth that he has never seen before! 

As a dad… I can imagine him inviting a child into his adventures. I can imagine the fun filled daddy dates with the underlying lesson always being that life is short and it is important to have fun and laugh. 

Haley is Joy Filled and loves to have fun. She is naturally very organized, but she never forgets to pause getting things done to enjoy the moment. She loves games, adventure, and bringing joy to everyday moments in life. 

Haley is a Great Friend One of the first things that attracted me to Haley was watching her loyalty to her friends and seeing her be close to them in their times of need. She serves her friends without hesitation or expecting anything in return. 

Haley is Humble She is constantly putting others before herself and is very quick to admit to any wrong doing and ask for forgiveness. I truly love that about her! 

As a mom… I know that Haley will pour all her love on any child that comes into our home. At her core, she has a mother’s heart and has longed for a child to pour that love out on. I am constantly watching and in awe of how she interacts with our nephew and our closests friends’ kids. She is always the ‘big kid’ that loves to play with the little kids and they love to play with her. Every child in her life loves to have her around and very always feels safe with her. 

Tim grew up where we now live and has always lived in this city and Haley grew up about 2 hours north from there. Haley attended college in the Northwest and after school got a job that landed her in the same city as Tim! It took 10 years for them to actually meet, which is crazy! Our current home town is home to both of us now and we plan to raise a family here in our hometown. 

Our First Date 

In 2021, we were in the same place at the same time and Tim asked Haley on a date that night! Our first date was two weeks later. Tim picked me up in an amazing Porsche that he borrowed with some poke bowls from my favorite spot. We drove down the coast and ended up in a spot to picnic on the beach and go bike riding.

We laugh over our first date story because unbeknownst to Tim, Haley was taken on a date to go bike riding in the exact same spot a week prior by some guy. She didn’t have the guts to tell him that she was on a date the week prior in the same area! Once we became an official couple, Haley spilled the beans about their first date venue! 

Our first date was so easy and comfortable. We danced randomly to this guy playing music on the street! We talked for hours. The rest was history! Marriage came 8 months later and we have now been married for almost 3 years. It has been such an amazing ride!

Tim is a general contractor and works in construction. He started his own business in May, 2024. It has been so cool to see where God has taken him. He thought he was going to be a firefighter his whole life but God had other plans. He has had the fortune of experiencing different jobs and professions during his lifetime. He was a project manager for building laboratories across the U.S., a handyman and even a gondolier that rowed boats for tours. He serenaded couples on their romantic dates! He liked to call himself a professional third wheel. He also was an EMT that worked on an ambulance, a beach lifeguard, and a wildland firefighter. 

Haley has been a Middle School Pastor for 10 years! She studied theology in college and always wanted to work in the Church or Christian organization. Haley is also a photographer and helps brands create content that they advertise in their social media campaigns! Haley works full time for now and plans to move to part time once we have a child in the home.

We started trying to build our family when we had been married for about a year and the journey went very different than we expected! After a year of trying we then went to a doctor and got a whole lot of tests and were told that we had unexplained infertility. Of course, this was such a bummer and brought so much grief but we knew God had a plan. After some treatments we had decided that we felt as if there was not a closed door to having a baby but that God was just opening the door for us to adopt a special baby that he had planned in advance for us. We always wanted to adopt, we just didn’t think it would be until after our biological children. So, when God clearly spoke to us we felt as if he was just graciously re-ordering our plans. We tried doing an embryo adoption this past August 2024 and we lost the baby. It was so hard but we know that we are one step closer to the baby that we get to raise and love!

We love spending time with our friends, adventuring, going to the beach and being on boats! Living in Southern California, we try to be outside as much as possible. Our other family member is our dog “Moose”. We love spending time with our boy who is a 9 month old golden retriever. He joins us for all of our adventures! 

Haley’s biggest hobby is photography. She takes Christmas card photos for families every year and loves to explore her creativity. 

Tim loves to surf and loves lobster diving with his friends! He gets his wetsuit on, grabs some friends and goes to the middle of the water to bring us home some fresh lobster to eat!

 We have date night every Tuesday! We have been doing this for the last 4 years. This is the best part of our week! 

• Tim owns an Orange VW Thing. It kind of looks like a small jeep and we love driving it around.
• While Tim is petrified of spiders, he is someone who will jump off of a very tall bridge and do a backflip.
• We love happy hours and finding good deals on food that is amazing!
• Haley loves an Iced Matcha and Tim loves a double shot of espresso.
• For our engagement, Tim gave Haley her favorite meal: Buffalo wings and a cheap bottle of red wine! (haha)
• We live only ten minutes from Tim’s parents.

Family trips to the lake!

Throughout Tim’s life, he has vacationed to a lake that is about 5 hours from our house! Two years ago, a family vacation home was purchased so we can all spend time every Summer at the lake. Bringing our future kids there is a dream of ours. We go to the lake all day, play games on the beach, go on a ski boat, wakeboard, or tube. 

Christmas Light tradition: 

Our house is on an island and everyone comes from out of town to look at our Christmas lights! We have made a tradition of inviting 10-15 friends over to make fun warm drinks in our to-go cups and walk around together. We always stop and sing Christmas carols to everyone. The night ends with a fun game night back at the house. It is one of our favorite times of year. 

Our Travel Bucketlist: 

• As much of Italy as possible
• Sifnos Greece 
• Norway
• Portugal to surf
• Bali

Tim definitely has a more calm demeanor. However, he is a daredevil and he knows how to rally all of his friends to do something crazy and thrilling with him!

Haley is much more extroverted. She is the life of the party but also loves rest days to be introverted and get time one on one with people!

While they have some differing personalities when you first meet them, they compliment each other super well!

We like to call “MOOSE” our first child because he came as such a surprise moment in our infertility journey. He is adopted from a breeder in Tennessee and his brother is with our best friends who live in Tennessee! Haley’s dream was to get a golden retriever and Tim surprised her one day that he had found one and thought it would be a good addition to our family. She freaked out! Moose has brought us so much life. He is so fun, gentle, and hilariously skittish about funny things like umbrellas and satellite dishes. But we love him! He is the best addition to our family at a time we didn’t know we needed him!

Tim: 

• Gladiator 
• Lord of the Rings
• Dumb and Dumber 

Haley: 

• The Proposal
• The Family Stone
• Rush Hour

Tim comes from a family of 6. He has parents who are married, two older brothers named Chris and Daniel and a little sister named Cali. His parents live 10 minutes from our home and will be a very important piece of caring for and loving our future children. Their family loves adventure and fun and values having monthly family dinner gatherings as often as we can so that everyone can get together! 

Haley comes from a family of 4. Her parents have been married for a long time and she has an older sister who is married with a little nephew named Caleb. They live a few hours away from us but we value seeing each other whenever we can! Our friend who set us up has 2 young boys and they are like our nephews! Foster and Jed have shown both of us how excited we are to have a family as we have helped raise them at different parts of their lives.We were both raised with families who love Jesus and go Christian Church and we look forward to continuing that with our future family!

Two years ago we moved down the street from the beach and it has changed our lives for the best! We have 2 bedrooms and can’t wait to create one of those bedrooms into the new room of our future child! Our home is the perfect size, it feels like home when people come in and is so close to a lot of parks as well as the beach. 

We love our neighborhood. We have some older neighbors and some younger neighbors who are so friendly and love kids. We go on multiple walks a day and love to take our dog down to the beach at the end of our street. It is a quiet and safe environment that is so great to have kids because of the parks nearby and the water that they can paddle board, boat or just jump in for fun!

Our community includes a lot of families with young kids (as seen in our video) who consider us their aunty and uncle. We’ve had a lot of practice caring for their kids. We can’t wait to introduce our child to all these great kids. We are very involved in our Church home and imagine our child joining us in making our house a family home. We want to teach a child about God and the value of having a good community that cares about the same things!

Thank you so much for taking the time to read about us. Before we stepped into this journey of adoption, we prayed about what our goals were and what we wanted our journey to look like. We learned immediately that YOU were our priority and that honoring you was the most valuable gift we could give your child. 

We are praying for you and for wisdom as you decide which family best meets your needs and wishes. We pray for you to have peace in your heart always. 

Adoption is not our last resort to begin a family. We are choosing adoption, as are you, because we believe that God has a plan for all of us. We look forward to building a relationship with you. If you choose us, what we can promise is that this child will be loved beyond your imagination and will grow up knowing that you are also loved. We promise that your child will be safe, cared for, and honored. The doors to our hearts are ready for you and your child.
