Randy & Tracy are hopeful adoptive parents from Colorado waiting to adopt a baby.

If you are pregnant and considering placing your child for adoption, please read the following Dear Birthmother Letter.

From Us to You... Dear Birth Parents,

We want to thank you for taking the time to consider us as prospective parents for your baby. We’re excited to share with you more about our little family, and we look forward to getting to know you. We want to help you feel peace in this important decision as you choose who to entrust your precious child to.

There is great comfort in knowing that our Father in Heaven knows each of us individually better than anyone, and He will surely guide you to the family who can best care for your baby. We can’t begin to comprehend what emotions and heartache you must be going through right now, but we do know that God loves you very much. He is aware of the significant decisions you are making and will greatly bless your life for it. We admire your faith, courage and selfless love. Not only will you be blessing the life of your baby but the lives of many others as well.


Our family started 8 years ago when we were sealed for time and all eternity in the St. George Temple. We both grew up in loving homes with large families and have many fond memories of our childhood, so we knew that’s what we wanted for ourselves.


Tracy says, “Randy was ready right from the start to have children—he always said he wanted a “whole whack of kids” (21 to be exact) but I wasn’t quite ready for that responsibility the first couple years of marriage. I can distinctly remember the very day, however, that the motherly instinct suddenly kicked in for me and the strong desire to bring a child into our lives was unmistakable. That moment was over 5 years ago… “

It’s been a most humbling experience as we have come to realize that our will isn’t necessarily the Lord’s will. After exploring different options, and trying to follow the promptings of the Spirit, we have come to feel that adoption is right for us. We realize that the children we are meant to raise don’t necessarily need to come to this life directly through us. So thank you for giving us hope of a chance to experience the joy and challenges of parenthood. We want you to know that we will cherish and be completely devoted to any child that comes into our home. We are dedicated to creating a loving environment that is safe and secure, one in which a child will be given every opportunity to fulfill his or her dreams and divine potential. Your child will not forget you and the loving choice you made for him/her.

Randy's thoughts on Tracy Tracy’s parents always referred to her as their little firecracker; partly due to her being born on the fourth of July but mostly because of her beautiful red hair. As for me, the firecracker name comes from her being a little saucy (if you know what I mean). Tracy is absolutely hilarious, a hoot to be around, a great wife, and I know she will be an even better mother when given the opportunity (more on that later).

Tracy is a great cook, plays the piano beautifully, can sing like an angel, but as can be seen from her photos Tracy’s instant attraction is her beauty. Another aspect that immediately attracted me was her athleticism. If you are lucky enough to win when playing anything with Tracy (including board games) it’s not because she lets you; she has a competitive edge to be reckoned with. Even with her competitive nature she loves team sports like volleyball, ultimate frisbee, and others because of the friendship with her teammates. Tracy is a bit of a social butterfly with her friends and loves good company.

Speaking of good company, when with her family Tracy loves nothing more than to sit and socialize with her siblings and parents. As an outside observer I can tell you it is difficult to compete with the conversation and wit produced by Tracy’s family. They are a very close family and love to be together, I know it has been hard for her to live away from them. It turns out that Tracy and I are both from families with seven kids and we would love to have a large family also.

Tracy will make a great mother with a steady hand to teach our family the most important things in life. I know this because I have seen Tracy interact with children and with her family. The example of Tracy’s mother in raising their family is invaluable experience for any future mother; both Tracy and her mother are astounding people. Tracy is kind, loving, and as I mentioned before, a pleasure to be with. She and I are deeply rooted in our faith and will teach and raise our family the best we know how.

Tracy's thoughts on Randy We often like to joke that the reason Randy and I were meant for each other was because I was the only girl that could keep up with him! He’s never been one to sit still for very long. Randy loves to be active, especially outdoors. Just to give you an idea of how adventurous he’s always been, Randy’s mom once found him and his identical twin brother on the roof of their house. They weren’t even 2 years old at the time! Randy is one who excels at anything he tries and gives his best in everything he does. He’s very innovative and loves to design and build things, like finishing the walkout basement of our home and building raised beds in our backyard for a vegetable garden. Others often depend upon him for his handyman or computer skills.

Randy is very dedicated to supporting his family, serving God and others, and making his wife happy :o). When he does find a little time for himself, some of the things he enjoys doing are snowboarding, playing tennis, volleyball or ultimate Frisbee; flying his gigantic para-foil kite or his R.C. airplanes at the park, and teasing me or our cat, Indiana, every chance he gets. What I love most about Randy is his ability to make me laugh at any given moment, no matter what mood I’m in. He is a great example of patience, selflessness and unconditional love.


We love spending time with family. We’ve been fortunate to live close to many of Randy’s family and get together with them regularly. Our nieces and nephews ADORE Randy (as do all children for that matter), and more often than not you can find him either climbing a tree, playing hide and go seek, or wrestling with them. He much prefers this to sitting and socializing with the adults. He can’t wait for the day when he can play with his own children. So often people comment on what a wonderful father Randy will be.

Just the two of us. When it’s just the two of us, we love being out in nature together hiking, camping, rock-climbing, or taking scenic drives through the mountains. At home we always enjoy watching a good movie, reading together, or playing games like Mexican Trains or Rummikub. We also LOVE to travel to see family and friends and hope to someday visit places like Holland, Scotland, Hawaii, and Peru.

We have a strong testimony of the “sacred duty to rear…children in love and righteousness, to provide for their physical and spiritual needs, to teach them to love and serve one another, [and] to observe the commandments of God” (The Family: A Proclamation to the World). Parenthood is such a wonderful and yet solemn responsible, so we are grateful that we have both been raised in homes centered on the Gospel of Jesus Christ and will be able to draw upon the lessons we have been taught. Our families are very supportive of us in our decision to adopt. The child that we are blessed with will be welcomed with great love by many.

We hope you have enjoyed learning a little about us and would love to share more with you. We look forward to the opportunity of corresponding with you and building a closer relationship.

All our love,

Randy and Tracy
