Are you facing an unplanned pregnancy?

Ryley and Kellie

Dear Expectant Parent(s), Our names are Ryley and Kellie, and we are grateful you are considering us as potential parents for your child. Although we have never met, we have been praying for you and your baby for a long time. We have learned on this journey that God often takes us along unexpected roads; perhaps this is where our roads are about to meet. We don't know your story, but we are thankful you have chosen to make an adoption plan for your baby. That shows courage and love. Thank you for selflessly choosing this option. Waiting to become parents for over five years was incredibly difficult, and we struggled to understand God's plan and timing. We were blessed with our son David through adoption in fall of 2018, and we cannot imagine a more perfect answer to prayer. We trust that the next child God has in mind for us will be another perfect addition to our family at exactly the right time. We believe that despite how hard this journey has been (for you and for us), God has our best interests at heart. He already knows the outcome, and has determined the best possible outcome for us, for you, and for your baby. We will continue to pray for you and your baby. Thank you for considering us. We take the responsibility seriously and are humbled at the thought of such a precious gift. "Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.". Hebrews 11:1 With love, Ryley and Kellie

Erik and Julianne

Our story began on the internet. Yes, we met online! From the very start we both shared the same vision of marriage and family. We were hoping to start a family soon after marrying, however, that dream has yet to be realized. We've been trying to have a family of our own for the past few years. We were advised to see an infertility specialist and we consulted with one, however, we both decided we wanted to adopt instead. Our parents are supportive of our decision and were thrilled when they heard we were planning to adopt. They are already planning on helping us buy baby clothes, toys and a crib when the time comes.

Dylan and Amber

Dear Birth Parent, Thank you so much for taking the time to learn about our family! We are so excited and hopeful at the prospect of becoming parents again through adoption. We are thankful and blessed that we have this hope because of wonderful, brave people like you. We do not pretend to understand what you are going through in making this incredible, selfless, loving choice but we know that it is beyond difficult and we thank you from the bottom of our hearts. We want you to know that we are praying for you during this choice and journey!

Luke and Stephanie

Dear Expectant Parents, By now we are sure you've scrolled through countless profiles of people desiring for you to invest part of your life into theirs. Thank you for taking the time to look through ours. While we of course have that same desire, we pray that you find a family that feels right to you to love your child like you do. We know God has a child in mind for us, and we know God has a family in mind for your child whether it is ours or not. Blessings on this part of your journey. May you have peace with whatever decision you make for you and your child. Love and Blessings Luke, Stephanie, Cameron, Emmett and MaeLeigh

Matt and Kelly

We want to thank you for taking the time to look at our profile and to learn more about our family. We hope it will give you a clear picture of our life together and what is most important to us. We especially want you to know that we are thinking of you during this time. Words cannot express how much we admire your courage, strength, and selfless love! We are so grateful you are choosing the gift of adoption! From the early years of our marriage, we talked and dreamed about having a family. After struggling with infertility, we knew God was directing both of our hearts to adoption. It took some time for His path for us to unfold, but the ups and downs of the journey strengthened our faith in Him and our relationship with each other. We were overjoyed to become parents in 2013 when we adopted our daughter, Caroline. We are very excited for the opportunity to grow our family though adoption again! The three of us cannot wait to welcome this child into our family and to share our life and love with him or her! Again, thank you for taking the time to learn more about us. We look forward to learning more about you! With Love, Matt, Kelly, and Caroline

John and Stephanie

We would like to begin by saying we understand this a very difficult time for you. We are filled with so much emotion as we are sure you are as well. Excitement and anticipation, along with care and kindness and grace. Ultimately, we have the strong desire to love a child and give them the best we can in life. Family is so important to us and we would love to add to our family and share that love with a child. We met in a family oriented environment and began our relationship by teaching and mentoring young people together. While it may seem on the surface that John and I are complete opposites, we hold very similar values. Give as much, and as often, as you can and always try to be a blessing to those around you. We would love to be a blessing to you by providing a loving family for your child. Our current children, Grant and Avery, are both amazing young people and the timing feels right for us to add to our family with children together. Though our plans had been to both adopt, and have biological children, it has become clear that adoption is the path we are meant to take.

Casey and Lindsey

First off, thank you for taking the time to get to know us! We want you know that we believe that you are an immensely brave person and thank God for your true humbleness. Our promise to you is that we will always have a special place for you in our hearts. Should you choose us, this child will know that they are loved, not only by us, but by you. We want to raise our child to know they can always depend on us, to cheer them on during the victories and be a shoulder to cry on when troubled. We hope to teach him/her to be honest and respectful, follow their hearts in all that they do, and help guide them on the journey of life, all while knowing they are an amazing miracle to us. We will give this child the best life that we can, full of love and warmth, hugs and kisses everyday.

Mike and Laura

Dear Family, We wish we could give you a big hug and chat with you on our family room couch, but in the meantime we’ll do our best to convey who we are. Our names are Mike and Laura, and as we write this letter, we are celebrating our wedding anniversary. It’s fun to remember the “big day” back in 2007. We feel grateful for what God has done in our lives since then and we look forward to continuing to build our family together. We have two daughters (ages 7 and 4) and think God is calling us to welcome another child into our family through adoption. We have so much love that we want to share. Not only do WE love children, but we also have an awesome extended family on both sides, and a great network of friends and church family, all of whom play positive roles in our kids’ lives. We know what it is like to become a Mom or Dad, so regardless of whether or not you pursue adoption for your child, we believe you are a forever part of that child, and he or she is an important part of you. If possible, we would like to stay in contact with our child’s birth family. We know that it might be awkward and challenging to figure out exactly how this might work, but we will come to the table with honesty, respect and gratitude. Thanks for taking the time to read more about us in this profile, and we are already praying that God will work something incredibly beautiful out for you, regardless of what next step you take. We have seen God work amazing things through challenging situations in our own lives and we look forward to sharing our hearts with whomever He places in our paths. Love, Mike and Laura
