THE SPJUTES

HOPING TO ADOPT

CJ & Sydnee

WELCOME! We are the Spjute family! "Pronounced (Sp-ute)"

Whether we’re in the gym, playing with our girls, or laughing over a bowl of ice cream & a game of Candyland, we truly love doing life side by side.

We are located in Utah County & our home is full of energy, laughter, and love. We have two biological daughters, Taitum and Stella, who bring so much joy into our lives. They love doing crafts, being princesses, riding bikes, swimming, and creating the best inventions together.

Being parents is the greatest blessing we’ve ever known. They are beyond excited to be big sisters and have prayed for years with us about God blessing our family with another baby.

Our home isn’t picture perfect—but it’s grounded in faith, filled with love, and led by God every step of the way.

Our marriage is built on loyalty and forgiveness—choosing each other, supporting each other, and keeping God at the center through it all. That same foundation carries into how we raise our girls: with love, intention, and a whole lot of fun.

To an expectant mom reading this—we want you to know how much respect and love we have for you. We can’t fully understand the weight of the decision you’re facing, but we see your strength and your courage. If you are considering making an adoption plan, we would feel incredibly honored and grateful to be considered as part of your child’s story.

We promise a home filled with love, stability, faith, and support—and a family that will cherish your child every single day.

We’ve shared a glimpse of who we are here! Keep scrolling and you can read more about our values and what matters most to us.

Thank you for taking the time to get to know our family—it truly means more than we can express.

With all of our love,
CJ, Syd, Taitum, & Stella

Our Heart for Adoption

& for you as a Birth Mother

We want to start by saying—we see you.

We can’t fully understand the weight of what you’re carrying, but we deeply respect the strength, love, and courage it takes to even consider an adoption plan. The love you have for your child is already so evident, and we hope you feel that as you read this.

Adoption has been on our hearts long before we ever knew what our journey would look like. CJ grew up in a family where adoption was a beautiful part of everyday life, with six adopted siblings. Because of that, he experienced firsthand what it means to choose love—to open your home and your heart in a way that changes lives forever. When we were dating, he shared his desire to adopt, and from that moment on, it became something we both felt could be apart of our family.

As we built our life together, adoption was talked about, prayed about, and we trusted that in the right time, God would lead us here.

After having our two daughters, we walked through a season of infertility that changed us deeply. It was a time that stretched our faith, but also brought clarity. Instead of closing doors, it opened our hearts even more to adoption. It felt less like a possibility and more like a purpose.

Through every step, we’ve felt God gently guiding us here. Giving us peace. Confirming in our hearts that this is how our family is meant to grow.

If you are considering adoption, we want you to know this: your child would be raised in a home full of love, laughter, faith, and security. They would be cherished, supported, and reminded every day how deeply they are loved—not only by us, but by you as well.

We would honor your story. We would honor your child. And we would never take for granted the trust it takes to choose a family.

No matter what you decide, we are praying for you—for peace, for clarity, and for comfort in every step ahead.

And if our family feels like the right fit for you, it would be the greatest honor of our lives to walk this journey together.

More Details about us

CJ:

CJ grew up in Boise, Idaho in a family where adoption was a beautiful and meaningful part of everyday life. He has nine siblings, including six who were adopted, and that experience shaped his heart in a lasting way. From a young age, he saw what it meant to choose love and to build a family through it.

He served an LDS mission in Roseville, California, played college basketball, and later built a career through hard work and determination. Today, we work side by side as online fitness coaches, something we’re both passionate about.

But more than anything, CJ is an incredible dad. He is present, loving, and deeply intentional with our girls, and watching him be a father is one of the greatest blessings in my life.

Adoption has always been close to his heart, and something we’ve talked and prayed about throughout our marriage. It’s not a new idea for us—it’s a calling we feel deeply. He is so excited and full of love at the thought of continuing to grow our family through adoption.

Sydnee:

Sydnee grew up in Las Vegas, Nevada and served a mission in Salta, Argentina. Shortly after, she attended BYU-Idaho, where we met. From a young age, she has always known that being a mom was what she was meant to do—it’s something she’s felt deeply called to her entire life.

She is an incredible, loving mother to our two daughters, who were born just 16 months apart. During her postpartum journey, she discovered a passion for health and fitness and has since competed in multiple bodybuilding shows. Today, she uses that passion to help women and moms all over the world transform their lives, all while being present at home with our girls.

More than anything, Sydnee leads with love. She is nurturing, selfless, and pours her whole heart into our family.

We have always felt that adoption would be part of our story. After walking through years of trying to grow our family again, we feel a deep sense of peace that this is the path God has for us. We are so excited, and so full of love, at the thought of welcoming another child into our arms.

If you are considering adoption, we would be truly honored to be part of your story.
