Waiting families

Ethan + Bailey

Dear birth parent(s),

We are Ethan, Bailey, and Lillian. We want to thank you for viewing our profile and getting to know us.

We live in southeastern Wyoming. We are high school sweethearts and  have been together for 14 years. We married in 2014 and then welcomed our daughter Lillian, in 2017. Since Lillian was born, we have not been able to conceive another child, therefore our hearts have led us to adoption to grow our family.  We are not strangers to the process of adoption as we have two adopted brothers from Ethiopia and many cousins who were also adopted.  We understand the sacrifice and love that comes with adoption and we thank you for considering our family for your child.

Ethan was born and raised in Wyoming. His family consists of his parents and his sister. He spent his childhood hunting, fishing, wrestling and riding dirt bikes. He spent many years in the United States Army serving his country and was deployed during that service. He then came home to Wyoming and now works at his family auto body business where he hopes to someday be the owner and carry on the family legacy. Ethan enjoys working on cars and other hobbies like leatherwork. He is a very hands-on dad and loves teaching Lillian new things and building projects together.

Bailey was born in Colorado but moved to Wyoming when she was in elementary school. Her family consists of  parents and step parents, and many siblings. She spent her childhood doing sports and competing in 4-H, but running in track was her favorite. She has her Bachelor’s degree in Social Work and loves supporting and advocating for people. Some of  her hobbies include sewing, crafting, and doing anything that involves her family. Bailey loves spending quality time with Lillian playing Barbie’s, doing crafts and sewing, and just being goofy together.

Lillian is seven and has been looking forward to becoming a big sister for many years now. She is an incredibly loving, caring and hardworking little girl. Lillian is shy until you get to know her, then she has no problem talking your ear off! Her favorite toys are her Barbie’s. Lillian has been the “big sister” to her cousins and loves holding and playing with them the most. She enjoys doing anything crafty and she loves spending time outside. She is an animal lover! She loves her three dogs, and her cats, she also loves feeding her grandmas chickens after school.

Our home is located on three acres of land where we love to spend a lot of time outside with Lillian.  We enjoy fishing and hunting when the Wyoming weather allows.  We play board games every night after dinner, where we talk about our day and enjoy each other’s company. We love movie nights on the weekend with popcorn. Our family spends a lot of our time at our land where we hope to build a cabin and have many family get togethers. We see and spend time with our parents, siblings, and nieces and nephews on a weekly basis. They play a big role in our lives and we are thankful for their support.

Our family believes in the importance of working hard and going after whatever makes you happy. This is something we instill in Lillian and will instill in our new child. We want our children to be comfortable in who they are and who they want to be while providing a structured and loving home. Our children will have our unending support throughout their lives

We look forward to welcoming another child into our family, they will be welcomed with never-ending love and acceptance by our entire family. We acknowledge your selfless act and know what a big impact you will always have on our family.

Thank you for considering our family, we will be forever grateful.

With Love,

Ethan, Bailey & Lillian
