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 an Expectant Parent

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 siblings who were adopted. 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.
