Will I stay in my baby's life?

Find a family that fits

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!

RYAN and Bethany

Dear Birthparent(s), Hello! Thank you so much for taking the time to learn a little about us. We met when we were 16 and 18, began dating a year later, and were married by the time we were 21 and 22. Over the years, we’ve built meaningful careers—Ryan works primarily in Nuclear Chemistry, and Bethany in Physical and Occupational Therapy. After welcoming our son, Ellis, Bethany shifted to part-time work to be more present for him and plans to stay home full-time once we grow to a family of four. We have felt called to adoption since we married in 2012 and are excited about the possibility of welcoming a second child into our family as a younger sibling to Ellis. Our hope as parents is to raise children who feel confident, secure, and deeply loved. We are committed to a home rooted in honesty and openness, where our child will always know they are adopted and understand the great love their birth parent(s) have for them. Our life together has been full of both joy and heartache. We’ve been blessed to travel the world together, and we’ve also experienced deep loss, including the passing of Ryan’s dad and our infant nephew. These experiences have shaped who we are, strengthening our trust in God and deepening our gratitude, compassion, and kindness. We truly value creating a warm, welcoming home. We love hosting friends and family for game nights and big shared meals, and our days are centered around balance, work we care about, time together, and being present with our son. In the evenings, once Ellis is asleep, you’ll usually find us curled up on the couch with a fire going, watching reality TV or the occasional horror movie. During the day, we enjoy long walks downtown, trips to the park, and simply being together as a family. Ryan loves hunting, fishing, and tending to his native wildflower garden, and he can’t wait to share those passions with his children. Bethany loves reading, writing, and discovering new experiences, and she looks forward to bringing the whole family along on future adventures. Thank you again for allowing us to share our story. As parents ourselves, we know there are no words that can fully express the love between a parent and child. We are deeply humbled by your strength and courage in considering adoption for your baby. Throughout this journey, we have prayed for the person who would give life to our child, and we will continue to pray for your comfort, peace, and clarity as you make this incredibly meaningful decision. With gratitude and love, Ryan & Bethany

Sending you grace, strength, and love. Jason & Katy

Calvin and Carol

It is a pleasure to introduce ourselves to you! We are so thrilled to embark on our fifth adoption journey! We are a family with four adopted children and two dogs. Our home is happy, bustling with activity, and full of love. We love spending time together as family. Some of our favorite things to do together are traveling, going for walks, reading, and spending time outdoors. We hope this gives you a glimpse of what we are like, knowing this is a significant decision for you. We admire your bravery and strength, and we are praying for you as you begin this journey. We enjoy an ongoing relationship with the birth moms and birth dads of our daughters and youngest son, and our older son has a closed adoption. We respect whatever openness choice you make. We have always loved children, and adoption has been on our hearts for a long time. We found out that we were unable to have biological children, and through this process, God has shown us that His plans for our family are better than we could imagine. We are very excited to welcome another child into our home through adoption, knowing that all children are beautiful blessings from above.

James and Sarah

Hello! First off, we can't begin to imagine what this process must be like for you and we just want to say thank you. We think you are incredibly brave. We also know you are doing your best for you and your baby as you plan for the future. We would like to come alongside you in this process to offer our best as parents, committed to growing our family through adoption. We are Sarah and James, new to adoption but not new to parenting. For us, this means we have full hearts and excitement towards adoption, but also realistic expectations about what it means to raise a child, as we have three biological children. Although there are hard moments, we truly do love being parents and understand that a new child would bring unique joys and challenges. We met the summer after graduating high school. We grew up seven minutes from each other, but didn't meet until a mutual friend introduced us. And just in time, because James was about to leave for a full-time two-year religious mission in Mexico. Sarah actually served a religious mission in Central America and returned home six months after James. By an act of fate (or God), we bumped into each other shortly Sarah arrived home, two and a half years after our initial meeting. We started dating and got married a year and a half later. We value faith, family and fun. We are hopeful to add one more precious child to our family through adoption.

Hello! We are Kyle and Alicia. Thank you for looking at a small glimpse of our lives. Please know that you are being covered in prayer as you navigate this choice. We have been married since 2017. We have one son, Cooper James, who was born and joined our family in 2023. We love to travel, spend time with family and friends, and make memories together. Our favorite places to travel include Disney, Tennessee, and anywhere we can catch a baseball game.

Aaron and Amanda

Thank you for taking the time to connect with us through our profile; we are very excited to share more about ourselves with you. In the years since our 2000 wedding, we have prayed that we would someday have the amazing opportunity to become parents. Adoption has always been something in our hearts and on our minds even throughout several years of unsuccessful fertility treatments. After seeing the joyous adoption path of others in our church and praying over the decision we are thrilled to be on our own unique journey.

Brian and Dana

Summer and Alex

Hi there! First off, we truly want to express how bold and courageous we believe you to be for choosing life and for potentially going through this process to make an adoption plan for your baby. We see your heart and we thank God for placing you here to take even a peek at our page to learn a little bit more about us as a family. Thank you for weighing us as a potential home for your sweet baby. We promise to raise your baby up to most importantly know the Lord and, in tandem, always know what love and fun is. Though we are new to the adoption world, we are not new to parenting and we are grateful for the excitement and devotion we have to parent another sweet child. We believe adoption is such a beautiful picture of what the Lord has done for us as we have been adopted into His family (Galatians‬ ‭4‬:‭4‬-‭7‬) We look forward to meeting you and coming alongside you in this process.

Ashley and Nathanial

Our hearts are full of gratitude and respect for the brave and selfless decision you are making. We want you to know that we are fully committed to providing a loving, supportive, and nurturing environment for your child. Our home is filled with warmth, joy, and laughter, and we are excited to share it with another little one. Your child will always know the depth of love that surrounded their journey into our family. We understand that this is an incredibly emotional and difficult decision for you, and we respect the immense strength it takes to make such a choice. Above all, we want what is best for your baby and for you, and we hope that you feel supported and empowered throughout this process. If you are open to learning more about us, we would be happy to share more about our lives, values, and hopes for the future.

Tim and Jess

Hello, and thank you for taking the time to learn about us and our family. We are so grateful for your openness to consider us as a possible future for your child. Adoption has been on our hearts since our early marriage, and we are praying to grow our family after struggling with infertility. We live in a suburb of Southeastern Michigan with our daughter and 2 dogs, Elwood and Mira. They are wonderful companions for our daughter, but she is praying to be a big sister soon. We live in a safe, small community with the best neighbors and a park right next door! The schools are within walking distance and we have a library we love to visit close by. We have a backyard with a swing set and a garden that we try to grow new vegetables in each year. We attend church regularly and try to stay involved with events and volunteer opportunities there. Our church has a strong focus on service and the local community, and that is what we love about it! We enjoy going for walks, riding our bikes, fishing, family game nights, cooking together, and family movie nights snuggled up on the couch. Visits to see our extended family are a regular weekly activity for us, as we love for our daughter to spend time and play with her cousins and see her grandparents. A child growing up in our home would always know that they are heard, important, safe, and cared for. They will join our current family of 3 for nightly bedtime stories, cousin's birthday parties, and picnics at the park by our house. We look forward to creating arts and crafts with them and discovering new recipes in the kitchen! Please know that if you choose to place your child in our home, we will strive to love them deeply for exactly who they are, and to develop all the beautiful parts of their personality and spirit.
