All About Bradley & Lacey

Bradley and I (Lacey) are 31 years old. We’ve been together for 8 years, married for over 3 years and are very excited to start our adoption journey. We have no children of our own, but we do have 2 fur babies; our dogs Luna and Apollo. While we have always known adoption was going to be part of our family-building journey, infertility led us to adoption sooner that expected! We are so excited to start this journey and are very hopeful in building the family we’ve always desired.

Why Adoption?

We’ve always known we wanted to have a family of our own. We also always knew that adoption would be a part of our journey because of the size of family we desire. After fertility struggles, we decided to start our adoption journey sooner than anticipated! We are so happy to have a finished home study, because we are that much closer to creating a family of our own!

Family & Home

We have a California split-style home with 3 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, and an unfinished basement. We have a decent size backyard and a huge, completely remodeled back deck! We love to host at our house. Our neighborhood is perfect for raising a family as there are plenty of children and we are just down the street from an elementary school.

How others describe me

Bradley describes Lacey as his biggest cheerleader. She cheers him on in anything he does, whether it’s playing volleyball, golf or even just being excited when he gets a promotion. Bradley knows Lacey will carry that energy into motherhood and will be the biggest cheerleader in our child's life. He also says she is very kind and caring. She’s a nurturer.

Lacey describes Bradley as very kind and patient. Lacey has never heard him raise his voice, he has such a calm demeanor. He’s friendly with everyone, he doesn’t know a stranger. While he is calm, he is also hilarious. He loves silly dad jokes and will make the goofiest dad one day.

How We Met

We met through mutual friends back in 2016. Lacey’s friend asked if she wanted to go ride motorcycles with a couple of people, Bradley being one of them. Neither of us were really looking for a relationship at the time, but we clicked instantly. We started dating shortly after that and have been together ever since.

Advice to Future Child

Don’t ever get in the way of yourself,. Always do what you want to do in life that you may regret not doing. Take chances because life is too short. Always ask questions; no question is a dumb question. Always know how loved you are. Be caring and kind always; treat others the way you wish to be treated.

Perspectives on Open Adoption

We believe open adoption is important for the child as we wouldn’t want them to struggle with their identity. We want them to know who their birth mother/family is so that they can understand who they are, and why they may have certain traits/characteristics. It’s also important for health reasons, knowing the birth family's medical history. While we prefer open adoption, we are also open to whatever the birth mother would prefer.
