Jess and Joey
Thank you so much for viewing our family profile. We are an extremely blessed couple who recently celebrated our ten-year anniversary. After Joey graduated medical school through the Army, we married and moved to Texas and Washington State for his military commitments, but we are now back in Michigan surrounded by a huge family. Our best life change was starting our own little family, and Henry, age four, is the greatest thing to ever happen to us. The best thing we could ever give him is a sibling. He loves his "stuffies" but can't wait to teach a baby brother or sister all about construction vehicles, baking, books, and counting! We started researching the adoption process years ago even before our miracle of a son was born. We are at the best time in our lives to welcome yet another miracle. We believe that there is a higher power who guides where each child who enters this world belongs, and we are ready to welcome this most precious gift.

Tiffany and Brennen
Dear friend, Thank you so much for taking the time to look at this snapshot of our family. You probably have so many thoughts and fears running through your head in this moment, and we’re likely just one family out of many that you will consider entrusting with your precious child. Who are we, and what kind of home would we hope to give your child? Our names are Brennen and Tiffany. We are high school sweethearts who have been married for almost nine years now. We have a lovable dog named Winchester and a hyperactive cat named Luna. Ever since high school we have wanted to adopt, and after struggles with miscarriages and infertility we have decided that now is the time to pursue that dream. This is our dream and promise to you: We will provide your child with unconditional love, we will cultivate a home for them filled with joy and wonder, we will display to them the beauty of Christ, we will support them through every triumph and disappointment, we will protect and sacrifice for them, we will honor you and your child’s story, and we will strive with every ounces of our being to give them a family where they never have to doubt that they are fully seen, fully known, and fully loved. What you are doing is one of the hardest, most loving, and selflessly sacrificial things anyone can do. We cannot even begin to express the admiration we have for you. You are a bona fide hero. We are praying for you even now, and if you entrust your child to us, we promise that we will honor that decision for the rest of our lives. You’ll learn more about us thoughout this book, but above all we hope you remember this promise to you.

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.

We hope this page helps you get to know a little bit about us. If you choose us to parent your child, we would love to have as much of an open relationship with you and your family as you are comfortable with. Should you choose to place your child with us, we can promise that we will love that child unconditionally, we will read to them every day, and we will teach them that they are loved by God - no matter what. We imagine you have a lot on our mind as you figure out what is best for you and your child, and we hope that you will find clarity and peace as you make a decision. Here's some of our story: We met while attending grad school in Washington DC, and we've been married since 2011. We adopted our daughter, Maxine, in 2020 after experiencing several early miscarriages. We're both close with our parents, and we enjoy spending time with family, including Maxine's bio-family. We are ready to add another child to our family through adoption!

Ashley and Jake
Hello! Let us introduce ourselves; we are Jake and Ashley. We met online in 2012 and quickly realized that we were meant to be together. After dating for a few months, we became engaged and married later that year. In December we’ll celebrate our 11-year anniversary! We always knew we wanted children, but the Lord had different plans for our family. During our infertility journey, we felt called to became foster parents, and opened our license in 2021. We’ve been blessed to care for and walk alongside 3 littles and their families, and while it has had its challenges, we wouldn’t trade it for the world. We love watching children grow, learn and live their lives to the fullest, and hope and pray to be able to experience these things with our own children one day. In September the Lord answered many prayers and we were able to adopt our long-term foster son Ace, and make him an official member of our family! He is sweet, fun, wild (in the best ways), and has been a tremendous blessing to us. He loves babies and other children and we cannot wait to grant his wish for a sibling one day. We love spending time with family and friends, having birthday parties, family dinners, vacations, celebrating all the holidays and creating new traditions. The Christmas season is our absolute favorite, and we love the childlike magic in the air that time of year. A lot of our time is spent outside in the backyard or garden, and we love to explore zoos, parks, farms, and aquariums. It is our dream to raise a child to know the true meaning of family, unconditional love, pure joy, absolute safety, and the Lord’s grace. We are humbled and truly honored that you are taking the time to look at our profile and learn a bit about our family. We pray that you find comfort and peace not only in all upcoming decisions but throughout your life as well. We look forward to walking alongside you during this journey and can't wait to meet you! Thank you for your time and consideration. God Bless!

Dear Friend, Let me begin by saying how humbled I am that you are taking the time to look through my profile. The amount of love, courage, and bravery it takes to walk the path you are choosing is found in very few people. I am praying for you and your child, that you would have wisdom, peace, and confidence in the decisions you are making. While adoption may not be what most people see for their future, it has always been the way I hoped to have a family one day. It would be such a privilege to be able to love and raise a child as my own. They will always know their story and how much you love them. I will always speak highly of you and will always do what is in their best interest. I will always point your child toward Jesus and walk with them as they develop a relationship with Him. This will be through everyday life at home, going to church on Sundays, attending church activities throughout the year, attending a Christian school, living in a community that values faith, and being around family and friends that have the same beliefs and values as I do. In my home your child will come to know 3 things. First, we love Jesus. Second, we are kind. Third, we have fun! Love, Jenn

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
