David and Silvia
We are Silvia and David. We want to start by telling you how much we deeply respect and admire you as you are considering adoption and choosing to bring your baby into this world. We’ve been trying to have children of our own for the last six years. We've gone through fertility treatments and consulted with a number of doctors but haven’t been successful. We have always been very interested in adoption. In fact, this is something we discussed even before getting married. For this reason, we feel very fortunate that you are checking our website and considering us as an option. We dream about being parents and having children to raise in a loving home! We have so much love to share with any child we're fortunate enough to be able to adopt.

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

Kevin and Lorraine
Hello! Thank you for taking the time to look at our profile. We hope it provides an honest look into our lives and the life we would provide for your child. After many years of infertility, we realized God had a different plan for us and felt led to adoption. We were blessed with our first adopted daughter, Isabella, in 2024 and would be so grateful to continue growing our family. Your child would be such a welcomed and loved addition to our family. If we are chosen as parents, we promise to... - Provide a home full of joy, and laughter (we love to be silly and joke around!) - Offer guidance, support, and unconditional love during the good and difficult times in life - Nurture all family and friend relationships - Teach them to know and love God And we believe that a child deserves all of this not only as a child but into adulthood as well. We understand that placing your child for adoption is a life changing decision. Our goal is to make you feel as comfortable and supported as possible during this journey and we look forward to getting to know you now and in the years to come. Please know that we (and many others!) are praying for you and your child daily. Love, Kevin and Lorraine

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.

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

Cora and Josh
Dear Expectant Parents, Hello! We are Josh and Cora and we are very excited to meet you. We are so grateful and thankful for you and your choice to make an adoption plan for your baby. We know this is an important decision for the baby but it is also important to you too. We admire the strength and courage it takes from you to make this decision. Know that we are lifting you up to God in prayer for wisdom, peace and clarity on this journey. 9 years ago, Josh’s brother set us up on a blind date. About a year later, we were married. We have 2 dogs, Tod and Breslin, and a flock of chickens. We both have large families and they are our rock. We are very family oriented and often find ourselves hanging with family whether it be at weekly recaps and snacks on Friday after work or having coffee and cookies after church on Sunday at Grandma’s house. In the summer, we often find ourselves in some sporting competition outside with our nieces and nephews. Why do we want to adopt? We have always dreamed of starting a family of our own. Over the last 4 years we have struggled with loss and infertility, but our marriage and faith in God has grown stronger. We cannot wait to welcome a baby into our life. We imagine sharing homemade pizza nights, basketball Saturdays, summer ice cream dates, and just lazy nights reading stories on the couch with our kids. We promise to you that your child will be loved, not only by us but by our family, church family and community as well. Your child will grow up in a Christian home. We plan to celebrate your child’s heritage. Your love and courage will be known by your child and we hope to build a relationship with you. Thank you for considering us for your child and we hope that we get to meet you and start this journey together! With love, Josh and Cora

We can only imagine the strength and courage it takes to be where you are right now, as you consider adoption.

No matter what path you choose, we hope you feel supported, empowered, and surrounded by compassion.

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.

Justin and Samantha
Having a family has long been a desire of ours since before we were married. Spending time with nieces and nephews over the years made us truly realize what a joy it is to be around the little ones. Once we felt the time was right, we started to try and have our own child, but we soon realized it was not going to be that simple. After several difficult years of many miscarriages and grief, we felt our hearts pulled towards a different path. Over time, our grief was transformed into determination as we took our first steps towards adoption, a wonderful journey we never thought God would lead us on. In 2022 we were blessed with our first adopted child Liam. He was the greatest gift we could have ever received.

AJ
Hi! I'm AJ. This profile will be a window into my life, who I am, and everything in between. I originally started this adoption journey with my wife Rachel. We shared the dream of becoming parents and were excited to grow our family through adoption. Sadly, she passed away from cancer which has been an incredibly difficult loss. Before she passed, we talked a lot about our hopes of becoming parents, and continuing this journey is a way of honoring that dream we shared. While life has taken an unexpected turn, my desire to be a loving and dedicated father has only grown stronger. I'm fortunate to have a close and supportive family and group of friends who are excited to welcome and love a child alongside me.
