Cody and Cynthia
We're looking to adopt a baby
We are Cody and Cynthia, and we’re grateful you’ve taken the time to read about us. We’re so thankful for the life we’ve built and are honored to open our hearts and home to another child through adoption.
We met on the tennis team in high school in 2005, and what started as a friendship quickly grew into something more. We’ve grown up together—navigating young adulthood, learning from each other, and building a life rooted in love, respect, and faith.
Cody moved away for college in 2009, and we dated long distance until Cynthia joined him in 2012. In 2013 we were married in a joy-filled ceremony surrounded by family and friends. The length of our relationship has taught us how to communicate honestly, forgive quickly, and find laughter even in hard seasons. Cody is steady and analytical, while Cynthia is expressive and creative, but our differences have made us stronger as a couple.
We’ve experienced deep loss and heartbreak in our desire to grow our family, but in 2019, we became parents through the gift of IUI to our son, Wesley. Through it all, our faith has carried us, and adoption has become a clear and beautiful path forward. We believe this is our calling, not a second choice or backup plan, but a sacred path that we feel honored to walk. Through the highs and lows, we’ve grown in empathy, faith, and love, and we know we’re not alone. We’ve seen God’s hand in this story, and we trust Him to lead us.
We believe family is formed in many ways—adoption is one of the most beautiful. We are ready and hopeful for what’s ahead.
