A Letter from Bryce & ShiAnne
Hello from warm Arizona. We are Bryce and ShiAnne and we’re excited to begin our journey as first-time parents through adoption. We are thrilled to adopt a baby of any gender or race, and we are open to staying in touch with you through photos, letters, and visits.
We have been married for 8 years now. We spend as much time as possible outdoors, road tripping, camping, summiting mountains, mountain bike riding, and running. We are excited to share our love of life, our passion for adventure and desire for learning with our child.
About Us
Our time spent together is filled with conversation, laughter, and fun. We love exploring the great outdoors together. One of our favorite things to do is travel. We enjoy exploring our state, country, and the world around us.
Most weekends are spent:
- Exploring by bicycle riding, hiking, or trail running
- Enjoying delicious coffee in the mornings
- Making dinners together while listening to music in the evening.
Our desire to start a family and share our love of exploring and experiencing all of God’s beautiful earth as a family has brought us to adoption. We are so excited to become parents and to provide our child with every opportunity to accomplish his or her goals and passions.
About Bryce (by ShiAnne)
Bryce is one of the kindest and most caring people I know and always makes life fun and interesting. He’s patient, calm, always ready for an adventure, and will be an amazing father!
Bryce is a Mechanical Engineer and has worked from home for the last 7 years.
His favorite thing to do is be in the mountains riding bicycles, running, and camping.
Our friends’ kids love Bryce. He will spend hours playing tag and hide and seek with them. He is always encouraging but adds a little adventure to playtime by giving the kids challenges that they love to do.
As a father, Bryce will always be there for our child. I’m excited to see Bryce share all the things he enjoys doing with our child and I know that he is excited to take them on bike rides, play games with them, teach them how to ski, climb and explore, and share with them how to enjoy life to the fullest.
About ShiAnne (by Bryce)
ShiAnne has an adventurous spirit, a passion for the great outdoors, and truly embraces any challenge that comes her way. She will excel at motherhood just like she has every other challenge in life. She will instill a strong and successful character in our child with her extraordinary knowledge and compassionate teaching style.
ShiAnne used to work at an astronomical telescope, but now has transitioned to become a registered dietitian nutritionist. She has degrees in physics, astronomy, science education, and nutrition.
She enjoys running, hiking, climbing mountains, cooking and baking.
ShiAnne is loved by all of our friends’ children and our nieces. Every call from them starts with “where is ShiAnne?” During playdates, she challenges all children with fun, exciting and educational activities. ShiAnne is excited to take our child to their first amusement park, to teach them how to bake bread, and take them on mother-child trips to explore the world around them.
Our Arizonian Home and Community
- We live in a two-story, 4-bedroom house in a quiet residential neighborhood that is directly linked to several bike paths, schools, and parks.
- We have a nice backyard that has a small area of grass (for a future play area), a little above-ground garden where we grow tomatoes, herbs, broccoli, and carrots, and an enclosed in-ground pool, which comes in handy during the hot summers. We look forward to teaching our child how to swim and hosting birthday parties in our spacious backyard.
- We share our house with our orange tabby cat, Caramel Macchiato, who loves cuddles.
- We just welcomed a puppy who loves to play and meet new people.
- One of the bedrooms is already furnished and decorated as the nursery.
Our Family
Our extended family lives in Wyoming, Idaho, and Colorado, all of which we visit several times a year. Everyone is very excited for us to adopt. The grandmas have already crocheted baby blankets and hats and both grandparents are talking about future trips to Disneyland and Space Camp.
Our friends are our extended family also. We visit each other often, meeting up in Wyoming, New England, Washington, California, and Arizona and take vacations together. They are also excited for us to become parents.
