We are the WIlliams!

Updated 7/2016






We are the Williams Family and we are pleased to share our sincere desire to add an addition to our forever family. We are hoping that through the efforts of our family and friends, we can find a mother who is in search of placing her child to a family that is full of love, strength and understanding of the difficult decision at hand. Placing a child up for adoption is no easy decision and we hope you can find peace in your selection of a good family for your sweet child. 

Here is some information about us and our journey to this point now in our marriage. Travis and I met when we were in high school. Travis was the teaching assistant for my women's choir class my sophomore year during his senior year. We had our first date the beginning of June 2004, after he had graduated. Travis quickly became my best friend and we continued to go on dates as friends. Travis served a LDS Mission in the Cleveland Ohio Mission and served from November 2005-December 2007. When Travis returned home from his mission, we were able to have our friendship grow into much more and we were engaged on Valentines of 2008. We were sealed for time and all eternity in the Salt Lake LDS Temple on May 16, 2008. Travis and I were best friends before our marriage and have been best friends ever since. He has been my everything and has been my strength during our past eight plus  years of marriage.

Our journey began a few years ago while we were trying to get pregnant. As we all know that everyone expects you to have a family right after you get married, however, Travis and I had always dreamed of having a family as well as dreamed of getting an education and providing our children with a wonderful life. As we know, life does not happen the way you plan it. The most important thing I know that has helped us through our challenges have been our marriage and our faith. 

We were surprised after waiting five and a half years of trying infertility and other items to grow our family, an opportunity arose and we were selected to adopt a sweet baby boy, who was due in June of 2016. After being selected we were able to form a special bond with our birth parents and have grown together as one large family in efforts to give our son, Bryson, the best family based upon the foundation of love and sacrifice. Bryson's birth story was no fairy tale and required much faith while he hung on for life for a few weeks. We were able to be there with him along every step, no matter how little those steps were in the NICU. 




Through much prayer, fasting and by the power of the priesthood, our son has continued to live a normal life, despite his rough entrance into this world. We are very blessed to have him in our family and are indebted to our birth parents for giving us this opportunity to become parents for the first time. We love each other so much and have the neatest connection that began through the blessings of adoption.


A brief history on our work/school experience so you can better understand we are just normal people with normal jobs and experiences. 

 Travis has worked as a professional roofer for four years, prior to getting his current position working in sales and working for an excellent company for the past seven years. He has received a few promotions and is currently working as a sales manager in a very stable company. He is studying his bachelors degree in business and sales management and will be graduating at the end of this fall semester.  Travis has great hidden talents that he keeps to himself due to his humble personality, however, I have been able to witness his multilevel skills such as landscaping, framing, construction, cooking, and fixing anything. (He can fix my broken jewelry and do absolutely whatever he puts his mind to!) Travis loves to help others  and is frequently asked to help others with their home needs. Travis has the best heart and is my definition of superman!





 A little about me. I have been working in the healthcare field for the past 12 years and have worked in many capacities. I have been a clinic manager for healthcare facilities for the past 7 years and now am currently managing three specialty clinics. I find joy in working with physicians, developing employees, as most importantly working with patients. I am a graduate with a Master's of Healthcare Administration and love my field of work, managing clinics and developing employees and physicians.  I find joy in doing crafts, singing, playing the piano, cleaning and organizing anything. I am a type A personality in regards to liking things in order and find joy in having things be organized. I absolutely love being an aunt to my 6 nephews and 3 nieces and love the role I get to play in their lives. They all know when they are with Aunt Hollie, they are loved and that is the most important thing for me to provide to them. I am grateful for the opportunity to be in their lives because it is a way I get to mother them.




Here is a little about our hobbies. 
Travis and I love to camp! We would spend every weekend in the mountains if we could. Travis and I love to golf together, hiking, paddle boarding, four-wheeling, playing card and board games, and spending time with family. With both our backgrounds in music, we love to sing together and when we are cleaning our house, we do turn our music up and sing until we are done. We love to do yard work and to work on projects around the house. We purchased our first home in 2010 and have been able to turn it into our dream home by redoing everything.  We sold our first home and bought a larger home to better fit our needs for growing our family.  We are so blessed to have such wonderful family who have blessed our lives so much. Our nieces and nephews know when they are at our house, they are LOVED! Our greatest desire now at this point in our life is to start a family. 






We have completed almost two years of infertility treatments which have been unsuccessful. We have continued to try to get pregnant but have not received any positive results. Our greatest desires, prayers and wishes are to find the correct mother who can help us achieve our dreams of becoming parents. After our first adoption, we have had the feeling of needing to add another addition to our family. We would love for Bryson to have a sibling and to be raised with the blessings of siblings.  If you are looking for a couple who will love, cherish, and raise your precious child, please consider us, The Williams. We are ordinary people with ordinary lives, but come with extreme hearts full of love for any child who is in need of a wonderful father and mother. I understand that parenthood is an act of selflessness and can be hard at times. Travis and I are ready to give all we have to a precious child, to raise them in a family with faith, love, and support both physically and financially.  Whoever you may be, or whoever you may know who is in search of placing a child, please consider us.  Every child deserves loving parents. The choice of a mother's love to place her child is a very selfless act. We know the search for the correct family to love and nurture your child is the most difficult decision you will have to make, but know that when you are wondering what kind of life this child would have if you placed them with us, The Williams, you can be reassured your child will be provided with so much love, support, and opportunities for a successful future. We believe in God. We believe in love. We believe in family. We believe in miracles. Thank you for reading our message.


Sincerely, 

 Hollie, Travis and Bryson
