Are you facing an unplanned pregnancy?

Sarah and Michael

Hi, we're Mike and Sarah! We have been together since 2009 and have been married since 2013. We look forward to becoming parents! We trust God will guide all of us through this difficult and emotional process. We hope this profile helps you learn about our family. We've lived in a few different states, but we've found a true home in mid-Michigan. We look forward to building our family through adoption and seeing what God has in store for us in the years to come.

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.

We have been praying for you and will continue to pray for you as we have committed to pray for anyone who may be reviewing our profile. We are thankful for you and your braveness in considering adoption as the loving path to take. As you go through your decision process, we hope that you will consider us to love your child unconditionally. We will raise your child in a loving and Godly home and he/she will know the huge sacrifice you made for them, and how much you love them.

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.

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

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.

Rachel and Michael

Dear Expectant Parent(s), Thank you for taking the time to get to know us. We are Rachel and Michael, and we've been happily married for over six years. Expanding our family has always been close to our hearts. Coming from large families ourselves, we deeply appreciate the warmth and joy that comes from having a strong support system. Unfortunately, our journey to parenthood has included challenges, as we have been unable to have a child of our own. While this has been a difficult path for us, we have found clarity through heartfelt discussions and prayer. We believe that adopting a child is the path we are meant to pursue. We are so grateful for the example our families have set in valuing love and connection. We are committed to creating a home that is safe, nurturing, and filled with compassion not only for our future child but for you as well. Establishing a relationship with you is important to us, as we recognize the courage and thoughtfulness involved in your decision. We are committed to loving your child as our own. Thank you again for considering our story. We understand that this is a very difficult time for you, full of lots of emotions. We want you to know that we will be holding you in our thoughts and prayers, regardless of the outcome. - Michael and Rachel

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.

Alicia and Kyle

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.
