Anila and Patrick

Five Thousand Miles and Closing Salutations! We are Patrick and Anila, and we are truly thankful that you’ve chosen to read a little deeper into us and hear our desire for parenthood. Our story begins in October of 2017 with an online wink. From there it became a test of endurance that we’re both happy to say we passed. Anila lived five thousand miles away in the beautiful country of Albania, which meant our relationship slowly built up over eight months of online discussions. Having a six-hour time difference probably should have made it tricky, but when we would talk after Patrick came home from work—10:00PM for Anila most nights—the real trick was saying goodbye! While visiting Albania that next June, we both realized something special had found us. We fell in love in Albania, and when Anila visited Michigan later that summer, we took a trip to Mackinac Island, where Patrick proposed, and we married in June of 2019. A couple weeks later, we bought our home and have been building our life together since. We had agreed from the beginning that having children was important to us. In fact, the dream of adoption had been on the table from the start, as well. Though we tried for a biological child in the first year, our desire was to one day adopt a child into our family. Having not been able to conceive yet, it made our decision to adopt an easy one. In April of 2023, God blessed us with our first son through adoption. He has brought a tremendous amount of joy to our family through his sweet and vibrant personality. We know he'll make an amazing big brother, and he cannot wait to meet his new little sibling.

Dan and Alana

Hi! We're glad you found yourself on our Family Profile. Our names are Dan and Alana. Since our first conversations about our future family - back when we were dating in college - we've always known that adoption would be in the picture. We believe that we were all adopted into God's family when we were in a time of need and we want our family to reflect that model. After getting married and taking some time to grow our relationship with each other, we've found that we are longing to give ourselves to a new family member. We are excited to start our family with and through adoption! We are also excited to get to know a family that would trust us to adopt their child, and look forward to starting a long and lasting relationship built on loving and caring for this little one together. We hope that you will consider whether your child could be a part of our family's story.

Nathan and Audreyanna

Dear Expectant Family, We know you must be processing a lot right now as you contemplate the best decisions for you, your family, and this growing baby. So, while we don’t know all that you are feeling as you imagine a future for both you and this child, we want to extend grace (whether you decide to parent or create an adoption plan) and we pray that you are able to find peace through support and community. We are Audreyanna and Nathan (and Rose!). We met in 2009, got married in 2014, and have been growing together ever since. Even before getting married, we had discussed growing our family through adoption in some way. Audreyanna’s family adopted her sister (now in her 20’s) and so adoption had been on Audreyanna’s heart from a young age. In 2023, Rose was born and placed with us. We've seen the benefit firsthand to an open-adoption and if you choose an adoption plan, we would be honored to live in relationship with you and your child. We truly mean that! It's been a joy to regularly spend time with Rose's birth family and in doing so, better understand Rose's story. We will continue to pray for you, and others, who are faced with making these tough decisions. You are loved, Audreyanna and Nathan

Michael and Laura Beth

We are Michael and Laura Beth, and we want to start by saying thank you. We can’t imagine the courage and bravery it takes to make the decision you have. We know that God is faithful to answer our prayers and cries for help, and we pray that you feel his presence. We have talked about adoption since we were dating, and the Lord made it clear to us that adoption is how He wants to grow our family. We are excited to walk alongside you through this process and see how God provides. We believe that adoption is a beautiful picture of the Gospel, and know that God can bring beauty out of the heartache. We greatly value the love you have for your child in making this decision and don’t take it lightly. Thank you for taking the time to get to know us more!

Colin and Wendy

We love each other and the idea of building our family. Unable to have children of our own due to unexplained infertility, we were surprised to hear of being pregnant. God had other plans and our baby miscarried. We feel we are to redirect our focus on adoption and look forward to meeting the little one that He wants to place in our lives. Colin is a loyal family member, friend, and colleague. He is well respected in our community and at work. Colin is "all boy". He loves to watch football, baseball, hockey, and lacrosse. He enjoys playing ice hockey, skiing, snowboarding, tennis and riding bikes. Colin enjoys our sweet neighbors and their children. We have eight children on our block! Many run up to greet him when he comes home from work. Colin is kind hearted, gentle, slow to anger and sweet spirited by nature. Colin is an outstanding husband and would make an incredible dad. Wendy loves to dream big and sets lofty goals for herself. She has accomplished her goals and loves to set new ones on a regular basis. She works hard and encourages others around her raise the bar for themselves. Wendy has such a loyal and kind heart. She is such a blessing to our friends and families. She loves to travel and she has seen the world. Wendy is a good steward of our resources, gifts, has such a light heart and loves to laugh. She laughs with me, at me, and for me. This has been such a blessing to our marriage. She is an outstanding wife that displays love to me and will embody that same love to a child.

Katie and Kyle

Hello there! Thank you so much for taking the time to read a little about us. We’re a fun-loving, faith-filled couple who have been praying about growing our family for the last 3 years. Our hearts are full of love, and we’re ready to share that love with a child. We have an extended family and group of friends who are happy for us and supportive of our adoption journey. We believe God has led us to adoption and we’re trusting Him to connect us with the right birth family. We're excited to give you a glimpse into our life, our home, and the kind of parents we hope to be.

Josh and Nicala

Hello! We are Josh and Nicala. We first connected in 2017 thanks to some mutual friends and the magic of the internet! Fast forward to February 2020, just before the world went full-on upside-down, we got engaged. And by January 2021, we said I do and officially kicked off our forever adventure. Our little family includes two adorable fur-babies: Colt, our treat-loving yellow lab who never runs out of energy, and Mavis, our sassy (but sweet) domestic shorthair cat who thinks she runs the house. We are lovers of the great outdoors and cozy nights in. Whether we're hiking a trail, planning our next adventure, or binging the latest Netflix show, we're all about finding joy in the big moments and the little ones. We are big fans of summer sunshine, breakfast foods, game nights, and time well spent with friends and family. If it involves fun, food, or a bit of adventure, we're in!

Tim and Amanda

Hello! We are so honored and grateful to you for taking the time to look through our profile and giving us the chance to introduce ourselves. We can't imagine the weight of the decisions that you are making at this moment. Our hope is that you feel cared for and supported in this journey. As you view our profile, we hope that you are able to see the love we have to share, the values that we hold dear, and a glimpse of where you and your child fit into our family. You will always be a part of your child and their story, and your immense love for them is something to be celebrated. We strongly believe that the more people that love the same child the better, and would look forward to developing a deeper relationship with you over the years. If you decide to move forward with an adoption plan, we would be honored to be considered as a loving family for your child. If you were to select us as the adoptive family for your child, know that we would work endlessly to ensure they are raised with the warmth, love, consistency, and the care they need to flourish and thrive.

Josh and Jenn

Hello! We are Josh and Jenn and we're looking forward to meeting you! Know that we think of and pray for you almost daily. We know what it is for life to take unexpected directions, for plans to shift, for dreams to be interrupted. Having kids has always been part of our plan and dream, and yet God has not fulfilled that dream in the way we originally expected. But we understand God's design and timing is always better, and we are excited to grow our family through adoption. Our philosophy has always been rooted in creating an environment and home where all are welcomed and loved. Adoption is something we always talked about as part of that philosophy. We’ve built our lives around creating strong community connections, friends as extended family, and an open door to our home for all. For our community, our house is a front porch for chatting, a front yard for badminton, a hill for playing tag, a driveway for sidewalk chalk, a walkway for blowing bubbles, a rock wall for driving toy cars, a garden for kids to help water plants and pick flowers, a living room for ladies book club, a kitchen for sharing delicious meals or baked goods, a back porch for late night conversation. We have “adopted” the families in our community - adults and children alike - our home is their home. This same philosophy is why we have become the gathering spot for our surrounding family. We are excited about the possibility of adding to that family through adoption and creating a space to welcome a child (and eventually, hopefully multiple children!) into our home. That said, we also want you to know that the weight of the decision you are making–the sacrifice–is not lost on us. Our own experience to start a family with infertility has taken us through deep emotions and many tears. Sometimes it’s the hardest moments in life that remind us to trust in all circumstances that God has a plan, through mountains and through valleys. We hope you are part of God’s plan for us, and that we are part of God’s plan for you and your child!

Tim and Hilary

Hello ~ We're Tim & Hilary and are so happy to meet you! Thank you so much for taking the time to learn about who we are and for considering us as a potential part of your journey. We can only imagine the strength and courage it takes to be where you are right now, as you consider adoption. As you read, we hope you'll feel the love, stability, and warmth that we want to share with a child. We want this to reflect not only who we are, but also the deep respect we have for you, whatever decision you make. We don't have all the right words and we know we can’t fully understand what you’re going through, but we do know this: if we’re chosen to be adoptive parents, we will carry that responsibility with immense love, humility, and lifelong commitment — not just to your child, but to you as well, in whatever way feels right for you. No matter what path you choose, we hope you feel supported, empowered, and surrounded by compassion.
