We are the Quiggles! College sweethearts sharing a life together over the
last 8 years, with a loving marriage nearing its fourth trip around the sun! TJ works
in the financial space, assisting clients with their investments while Cheyenne
advocates and creates memorable experiences for children through summer
camp!
Beginning our parenting journey back in 2022 as foster parents, we have
had the honor and privilege of serving 10 children in our home. With huge hearts
for adoption, we are incredibly blessed to be able to step into the next chapter
of our lives as adoptive parents.
The seed of adoption was planted in my (Cheyenne’s) heart at the age of
12, when I was diagnosed with a rare genetic infertility disorder. As mine and Tj’s
love grew and with each foster kiddo and family we were blessed to come
alongside and champion, we felt God molding and preparing our hearts for
adoption! Little did we know that God’s plan for our lives, and for Pipers, would
take place on February 3, 2024.
We received a call on February 3, at 1:14 pm that an expectant mama
was being admitted to the hospital with plans to deliver her baby in the coming
week, and that a family would need to be on a plane in the next 24 hours. At
4:41 pm, just 3 hours later, our daughter was born and at 4:43 am we boarded a
plane to Ithaca, New York where we eagerly waited to meet our daughter for
the first time.
We trusted that if God opened this door for us, we could faithfully walk
through it trusting that the support needed, through community and finances,
would follow us through. Adoption has a huge space in and for our hearts.
Parenting our daughter is our greatest joy. Leading her in wisdom, planting
seeds of the Lord, filling her days with joy and laughter, and inspiring her
individuality while growing her confidence is the best job. We are truly honored
to be able to be the mom and dad to our little girl.
