Are you facing an unplanned pregnancy?

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.

Tim and Jess

Hello, and thank you for taking the time to learn about us and our family. We are so grateful for your openness to consider us as a possible future for your child. Adoption has been on our hearts since our early marriage, and we are praying to grow our family after struggling with infertility. We live in a suburb of Southeastern Michigan with our daughter and 2 dogs, Elwood and Mira. They are wonderful companions for our daughter, but she is praying to be a big sister soon. We live in a safe, small community with the best neighbors and a park right next door! The schools are within walking distance and we have a library we love to visit close by. We have a backyard with a swing set and a garden that we try to grow new vegetables in each year. We attend church regularly and try to stay involved with events and volunteer opportunities there. Our church has a strong focus on service and the local community, and that is what we love about it! We enjoy going for walks, riding our bikes, fishing, family game nights, cooking together, and family movie nights snuggled up on the couch. Visits to see our extended family are a regular weekly activity for us, as we love for our daughter to spend time and play with her cousins and see her grandparents. A child growing up in our home would always know that they are heard, important, safe, and cared for. They will join our current family of 3 for nightly bedtime stories, cousin's birthday parties, and picnics at the park by our house. We look forward to creating arts and crafts with them and discovering new recipes in the kitchen! Please know that if you choose to place your child in our home, we will strive to love them deeply for exactly who they are, and to develop all the beautiful parts of their personality and spirit.

Josh and Nicala

Hello! We are Josh and Nicala. We first connected in 2017 thanks to some mutual friends and the magic of the internet! Fast forward to February 2020, just before the world went full-on upside-down, we got engaged. And by January 2021, we said I do and officially kicked off our forever adventure. Our little family includes two adorable fur-babies: Colt, our treat-loving yellow lab who never runs out of energy, and Mavis, our sassy (but sweet) domestic shorthair cat who thinks she runs the house. We are lovers of the great outdoors and cozy nights in. Whether we're hiking a trail, planning our next adventure, or binging the latest Netflix show, we're all about finding joy in the big moments and the little ones. We are big fans of summer sunshine, breakfast foods, game nights, and time well spent with friends and family. If it involves fun, food, or a bit of adventure, we're in!

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.

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.

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.

Josh and Jenn

Hello! We are Josh and Jenn and we're looking forward to meeting you! Know that we think of and pray for you almost daily. We know what it is for life to take unexpected directions, for plans to shift, for dreams to be interrupted. Having kids has always been part of our plan and dream, and yet God has not fulfilled that dream in the way we originally expected. But we understand God's design and timing is always better, and we are excited to grow our family through adoption. Our philosophy has always been rooted in creating an environment and home where all are welcomed and loved. Adoption is something we always talked about as part of that philosophy. We’ve built our lives around creating strong community connections, friends as extended family, and an open door to our home for all. For our community, our house is a front porch for chatting, a front yard for badminton, a hill for playing tag, a driveway for sidewalk chalk, a walkway for blowing bubbles, a rock wall for driving toy cars, a garden for kids to help water plants and pick flowers, a living room for ladies book club, a kitchen for sharing delicious meals or baked goods, a back porch for late night conversation. We have “adopted” the families in our community - adults and children alike - our home is their home. This same philosophy is why we have become the gathering spot for our surrounding family. We are excited about the possibility of adding to that family through adoption and creating a space to welcome a child (and eventually, hopefully multiple children!) into our home. That said, we also want you to know that the weight of the decision you are making–the sacrifice–is not lost on us. Our own experience to start a family with infertility has taken us through deep emotions and many tears. Sometimes it’s the hardest moments in life that remind us to trust in all circumstances that God has a plan, through mountains and through valleys. We hope you are part of God’s plan for us, and that we are part of God’s plan for you and your child!

Jesse and Shelby

Our hearts are full of admiration for the loving decision you are hoping to make for your child. We want you to know that we are praying for you. We pray you feel God's guidance, presence and peace throughout this journey. May you find comfort in knowing that no decision we make can change the plans God ultimately already has for each of us and the ones we love. We want you to know that if you decide to move forward with making an adoption plan, this is not the end but only the beginning of a lifelong journey. You are loved and God has incredible plans for you. If we are a part of that plan, we are SO excited to meet you! No matter the decision you choose know that you are being held up in prayer to a God who loves you so much!

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

Joshua and Chelsea

We have been together for six years, married for five. We are so excited to share our love with a little one, and with Josh himself being adopted, this just seemed like the natural path for us to take to grow our family together.
