Tom and Kristin
Hello, We are Tom and Kristin and we thank you for taking the time to learn more about our family. We know and honor that the decision to make an adoption plan for your child is one that is filled with complex emotions. We have been praying for your peace and comfort. We believe Jesus came to this world to bring healing and hope and it is our prayer that he does this for you as well. As we spend our days waiting for the child that God has for our family and as we created our profile, we couldn't help but dream of the day our child will join us in our every day settings and on our various adventures. We hope this profile adds to your peace knowing that we are ready to provide a loving and caring home where your child can thrive. We invite you to check out an album we made about us: https://www.mixbook.com/photo-books/interests/digital-tom-kristin-adoption-profile-42113386?vk=3rs8duNV3pgE5MUBqHoK

We believe in the spiritual power of service to others, humility, kindness to strangers and unconditional love, as children of God.

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.

Hello! Thank you for taking time to look at a snapshot of our life. We are so excited to share our lives and love with our child. Our hearts are overflowing and we just can't wait to surround our child with so much love and support. We will do everything possible to make sure your child has the best possible life and provide them with whatever support they need. We are comfortable with you being a part of their life as much as you feel comfortable with. Without you, our dream of becoming a family would not be possible. After years of discussions, leaning on family and friends, research, medical treatments for infertility, and so much more, it has become overwhelmingly obvious adoption is meant to be for our family. We are just overjoyed to see God's plan in adoption begin to work in our lives.

Hello! Thank you for taking a look at our family as you consider the right decision for you and your child. After wrestling with infertility for several years, we are so excited to continue to grow our family through adoption. We had the wonderful opportunity to meet our first daughter, Evelyn, right after she was born in October of 2024. Shortly after, we formally adopted her in February of 2025. She has always been adventurous, curious, and full of life and energy. She's brave and daring and also a huge fan of showing love and care. Throughout our profile, we know we haven't shown very much of her face in our profile, a purposeful choice for protecting her, but hope we have also given some insight into our family world and her part in that. We pray that God will bless you on your journey as well. We wanted to give you a glimpse into our world - our relationships, our values, our home, and our hobbies. We hope that this will help you imagine what it could be like for you and your child to join our family.

Hi. My name is Jamie, and my son's name is Gabriel. The only words I can think of are Thank you. I feel love for you and will pray for you always. You are a Brave person to place your child for Adoption, possibly. The decision you are going to make is not easy. I am looking to share my love, life, family, and everything else with a child who will be joining our family and friends. I have a one-year-old son whom I was able to adopt, and would like to have one more child to complete our family. I have a huge support system behind me that is encouraging me. I am a single parent, but I have a wealth of love, kindness, and patience to share. I want to share my blessings and adventures with another child along with Gabriel and me. I will encourage them to be the "more" that they could be, have, and enjoy. May God guide you in your decision, give you the strength and grace throughout the process, and comfort you in your future steps.

Finding peace through open adoption
“Bethany made my adoption journey the best choice for me and those I care for. Three different families have become one because of the love and respect that we share—and I’ve found my place as a birth mom in each one of them.”
- Tamara
"When I was pregnant and pursuing an adoption plan, people told me I needed to ask forgiveness for “abandoning my child.” They wanted me to feel ashamed, but Bethany helped take the sting out of their words by reassuring me I had no reason to feel shame. Now my vision is to keep telling this story so other birth moms know they’re not alone.”
- Gloria
“Ten years ago, I was pregnant for the first time, and I was in jail. Making an adoption plan for my son didn’t mean I loved him any less; I just didn’t want my child to end up in the system. My life circumstances wouldn’t mean a life sentence for him.”
- Tamara
"When I found out I was pregnant with twins at age 18, I didn’t know where to turn. I thought, ‘How am I going to become the mom I want to be?’ Bethany helped provide care for my boys while I found a stable job. Today, my boys are thriving in my home.”
- Brijon
“Today, I am substance-free. I’m married with two biological children and two stepchildren. And I still have thoughts and emotions to process about that difficult time in my life, including my decision to make an adoption plan. That’s an experience most people just don’t understand."
- Gloria
