Meet Tyler, Pam & Colin J.

Dear Birth Family,

Thank you for taking the time to learn about us. We are Tyler and Pam, and we live in Dayton, Ohio, with our five-year-old son, Colin, and our four sweet dogs. We feel incredibly grateful for the beautiful life we’ve built together, but we have always hoped our family would grow.

We know you are navigating an incredibly personal decision right now, and we want you to know how much respect we have for you. After a medical complication made it unsafe for Pam to carry another child, adoption became a path we feel truly lucky to have found. We are so hopeful and excited about the possibility of welcoming another child into our hearts and watching our children grow up together.

Meet Our Family

Tyler is a loving husband, an amazing dad, and an active-duty Air Force Bio-Environmental Engineer. He’s patient, kind, and brings a sense of fun to our home. He is always ready to get down on the floor to play or take us on a new outdoor adventure.

Pam works in operational support for the Air Force and is the heart of our family. She is warm, outgoing, and loves planning family trips, thrift shopping, and creating a space where everyone feels safe, included, and cherished.

Colin is a happy, curious five-year-old who loves science experiments, building Legos, hip-hop dancing, and eating cheese! He has a big heart and is so excited to be a big brother. He’s already talking about sharing his toys and teaching a new baby how to build things.

Our Life & Promise to You

Our days are filled with laughter, adventure, traveling, and cozy family movie nights. We’re so lucky to have a wonderful “village” of grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins who are actively involved in our lives, including yearly trips to visit family in Arizona.

While we aren’t a religious family, our home is deeply rooted in kindness, compassion, and respect. If chosen, we promise to give your child a life filled with unconditional love, security, and the freedom to be exactly who they are.

Most importantly, we believe a child’s story begins with you. We hope for an open adoption because we want your child to grow up knowing where they came from and the people who loved them first. Your place in their story will always be honored.

Thank you again for reading our story. We wish you peace and comfort on your journey.

With love and respect,
Tyler, Pam & Colin
