Adoption has always been special to us, because Lacey herself was adopted as a baby, and has many adopted siblings. In December 2018 we also adopted our son, Banning. We have always wanted to grow our family through adoption, we are excited to see how God leads our journey to baby Giebel #2.
What brought you together?
Lacey: One day our parents were at our local bowling alley where Tyler was bowling on the bowling league and they decided to set us up on a date. We went to dinner together and talked for hours about who we are, our pasts and what we both wanted in the future. Tyler and I have seen each other everyday since, I guess it was love at first sight.
Tyler speaking: About 8 months after dating I proposed to Lacey while we were vacationing in Maui. We were looking out at the most beautiful view of the ocean and then I got down on one knee. Of course she said yes! Our family cheered and hollers and cried. It truly better than I could of ever imagined.
Why now?When did you know in your heart it was time to start the adoption process?
We’ve been married for almost three years. A year into our marriage we started talking more seriously about growing our family. We both knew we wanted to adopt so we decided to start the process of domestic infant adoption. In July, we were home study approved and in December our son, Banning, was placed in our arms. He is now 15 months old and we feel 100% ready to start our journey to baby #2, we cannot wait to see our son become a big brother.
Lacey speaking: Tyler’s personality is calm, quiet, thoughtful, hardworking and respectful. He is so selfless and loving. I never knew that men like Tyler existed. Every day he makes me feel noticed and important. He makes our relationship top priority. He also is the best father. Him and Banning have a special bond, the way our son lights up when he sees his dad always makes my day.
Lacey
Tyler speaking: I love being married to Lacey. She is a very outgoing person which compliments me as I am slightly introverted. She is always keeping me on my toes and motivated. She is the most selfless person I’ve ever met. She is always thinking of others and how her actions will affect other people. Lacey is very caring and loving, she always shows how much she loves me and Banning. She is a fantastic mother, her and Banning are very connected. She made the decision to stay at home to raise our children. I cannot wait to see her become a mother of two.
