Courtney & Randy
Dear Birth Mother,
I hope you are well. We think about you often and hope you know how important your role is in growing and delivering this precious life. You are the true hero, here.
Thank you for taking a look at our profile. I hope that it gives you a decent idea of who we are.
Our desire to adopt a child stems from our ability to love. Both of us know that we were both made to parent. We began trying to conceive naturally a year and a half ago but for various reasons, it hasn't worked out that way for us and we are content with that. Adoption has been on both of our heart's and minds so it seems natural for us to begin this journey instead of trying fertility treatments of any kind. We are ready to love any child that comes into our lives. I grew up in a family who fostered babies and we adopted my youngest sibling. I've been able to see the beauty that can come from otherwise difficult situations. Love grown between strangers all for the sake of one tiny baby is amazing to us.
About Us
I'm Courtney, 31 years old, and my husband Randy is 35. We met in 2015 through friends and we got married in 2019. Here's how we met: Courtney and her sister went to a bar for Courtney's 24th birthday and ran into another friend's group there who Randy was with. We almost instantly took to the dance floor together and we've never looked back. Randy's Hobbies include collecting sports cards, playing games and keeping up with the NFL. Courtney enjoys reading, being outside and tending to plants. We also have two fur babies who get a lot of our attention!
Randy said:
Courtney has been around babies her entire life. At a young age she was basically taking care of her younger sister. That carried over to babysitting and then onto being a nanny. As I've seen and watched her do this over the past 7 years, I feel like there's is nothing she doesn't know how to handle or know what to do in any given baby situation. Watching her love each of these children, it reminds me a lot of how my mother loved. Unconditionally. Anyone who can love like that, I know will be an amazing mother.
Work:
I have worked as a nanny for sixteen years and am with my all time dream family right now! I am with Amari Monday-Friday from 730-5pm. He's thirteen months now and we keep ourselves busy with The Little Gym classes, library story times and play dates with friends or family kids. Our new baby will join right along with us!

Courtney Said:
Randy was raised as a single child to a mom who put down her whole life for him! When I think of a true parent/ child love, this duo comes to mind first. Randy was loved incredibly well, which has left him to also be able to love in an incredibly big way. Randy is gentle, kind and patient. I have yet to find a child or adult who doesn't instantly love him. He is prepared to take on the role of 'dad' and I am eager to see it happen.
Work:
Randy works normal business hours in an office at DFW
Securuty as a finance specialist. He's been there for five years and hopes to continue growing with the company.
Family
I, Courtney, am one of five siblings and have a total of four nieces and nephews. Almost all of the siblings live within an hour of each other. Randy is best buds with one of Courtney's sisters husband, so the four of us and our nephews see a lot of each other. My parents both live nearby and are still married and involved in our lives.
Randy's has a large extended family. They live slightly further away but we still get together with them for Thanksgiving and Christmas. Randy's parents have both passed on too early, unfortunately. Randy's grandmother continues to play a huge role in our lives and only loves twenty minutes away.
Our family support is extensive and each of us are excited to add a new member.
Our Friends
Randy has had the same group of core friends since before high school! His mom helped raise a few of the friends so they became more like brothers to Randy. They all still get together frequently, usually for football games or golf.
Courtney has a handful of close friends who I've met along the way at different stages in my life.
We enjoy mild traveling but we aren't the most adventurous people. Courtney's parents have a cabin in Colorado that the whole family visits at least once a year.
Our Home:
We live in a one story house on a col de sac in Watauga. It's the same house that Randy grew up in! We are lucky to have inherited this gem. Our home consists of three bedrooms and two bathrooms with a nice big front and back yards with mature trees. There is a pond, walking trail, park, elementary school and library all within walking distance of our house. Diversity in Watauga is average. There is room for growth and opportunity to evolve here. The nursery is partly set up! My nephew uses the crib when he stays the night and I bring Amari over to play as well. We still have finishing touches to add to make it just right for our little one.
Our Pets:
We have two of the sweetest boys in the whole world! They are both rescue pups, Ezekiel is part husky and is six years old. Boston is a terrier mix and is four. Ezekiel's favorite things to do are eat, sleep on a comfy bed and go for walks. Boston loves playing with squirrels in the backyard and following us around the house. They both have had experience around babies and with the help of a beeper, they know to keep their distance.
