Erik and Jen
Thank you very much for looking at our profile. We wish we were there to express our gratitude in person, as this must be such a difficult decision for you. We cannot begin to understand the emotions that come with your decision, but we do know that placing your child with the right family can make a world of difference. We hope that reading through this profile and getting to know our family a bit will help to make the decision a little bit easier. The adoption process has really caused us to reflect upon how important it is, emotionally and spiritually, for you to feel at peace with your decision. We adopted our son in 2007 through international adoption. We have very little information about his birthmother based on privacy laws in his country. We wonder quite frequently how his birthmother is and wonder if she would like to know how he is today. We think she would. We think that it might give her tremendous peace of mind, and we hope that by getting to know us, we can do this for you too. Your child is a wonderful gift to this world, and we can’t thank you enough for considering us as parents for your baby. more ...

Dear Birthmom, We cannot even begin to imagine the emotions that you are facing at this point in your life. We pray each night that God may give you the strength, wisdom, love, and courage you need as you make your difficult decisions. We pray that you will find comfort in knowing that you are making your decisions out of unconditional love for your child. We hope that you find peace in knowing that there are many loving and willing couples awaiting the opportunity to become the parents of your child. Follow your heart and with God’s grace your child will be given the chance to live the life that you dream of for him/her. We want you to know that if given the chance, we will love your child as our own. We will love and care for your child from the bottom of our hearts. Your wonderful gift of love will never be forgotten or taken for granted. We promise to share your story with your child and give encouragement if he/she seeks a relationship with you. We will raise your child to be honest, respectful, kind, responsible, fun loving, and grateful. We will instill strong moral/social values and share our Christian faith. Family and friends will help us raise your child with all the love we have to offer. Your child will be our child. Your child will be at the center of our lives. We will make whatever sacrifices necessary to give your child the high quality of life and the love that you dream he/she should have. Thank you for considering us, and we hope to meet you soon. more ...

Dear Birthmother, Do you know what a special place you will have in our hearts? In your own life changing decision, you will also change ours. You’ll be giving us the greatest gift a mother can give—your child. You may trust and have faith that you’ve chosen a loving home for your baby. We will offer a loving, protective, and nurturing home. Your greatest gift can only be rewarded by our promise to help your child find his/her own gifts and blossom into a beautiful, caring, and independent person that would make you proud and at peace for your lifetime. We have been together for eight years, married for three and half of them. It is our greatest dream to have several children and we discussed adoption even before we married. Originally we planned to experience pregnancy and childbirth with our first child and then adopt. After several years of infertility treatments and numerous miscarriages, we have discovered all of our children will begin their amazing lives with an amazing birthmother such as you. We believe this is a blessing because not only will he/she have two loving parents to grow with, but another mother who loves them just as much. We plan to raise our family with Catholic beliefs and know that with determination and optimism, even the most trying times will turn around. We feel like that is why we are destined to meet you. We think you will connect with us and we with you. We’ll support you in your time of hope and heartache, and you will help to fulfill our family plan. If it is meant to be, it will, and we will know when we meet. more ...
Greg and Corey
Dear Birth Mother, What an amazing woman and mother you must be to have chosen adoption! We admire you and thank you for making the courageous decision to carry and give birth to a beautiful child. The love you have already shown your baby is unquestionable and everlasting. We’ll make sure your child grows up knowing these things about you. Before we were married, Corey had a hysteorectomy at a young age. We have always known adoption is the path we would take. We are excited about adopting and adding a precious little one into our family! We hope you enjoy getting to know a little bit more about us. We wish you all the best in making a very challenging decision. We know you’ll find that you can have faith that we’ll provide the loving home you so desire for your baby. more ...

Dear Birth Parent, There are not adequate words to fully express what a beautiful thing you have chosen to do for your baby. We know we will never be able to understand the feelings you are going through as you make your birth plan. We can only hope that seeing the happiness and joy that your decision creates will bring great comfort and peace of mind in the future. I personally have dreamed of having a family since I was a small child and was lucky to conceive Allison after only one treatment of invitro fertilization. We have since discovered how truly lucky we were after miscarrying two sets of twins. The anguish this brought us, made us realize that we were meant for a different path than we originally set out on. We now know that adoption is the plan we are meant to follow to complete our family. We ask that you consider helping us experience the love and emotion of parenthood again and allow Allison to have a sibling to love, cherish (fight with) and grow old with. This is truly the hardest thing that we have ever had to ask another person, but we ask knowing that we will give your child a loving, stable life filled with lasting memories and a strong foundation on which to become a very capable and happy adult. more ...
Greg and Kristine
Thank you for reviewing our profile. We want to give a child a life filled with love, laughter, and opportunity. More than anything, we want to share our life with a child. After experiencing several years of infertility, we decided to adopt. We are certain that this has not been an easy decision for you to make, but knowing that you have the courage to make it at this difficult time in your life shows strength for a child’s life and security for the future. We're pleased that you are considering our profile, and we hope by sharing a little about ourselves that this might ease what we know is a difficult decision. more ...
Ian and Heidi
Baby girl placed 1/2012!
Adoption has always been a part of our life. Heidi was born into a family that had already adopted her brother. She grew up knowing he was adopted, and finds that her bond with him equals Ian’s bond with his four brothers: we are family. And we’ve developed very close bonds with each other’s extended families. We have a strong, stable, wonderful life together, and several years ago realized we were ready to share the experience of raising a child. Our journey through the diagnosis of infertility has been sad and disappointing; but through it all, we have kept the hope that we will have a child in our lives through the miracle of adoption, just like Heidi’s parents did. We know this is a scary, uncertain time for you, but we want to thank you for choosing this option. You have shown great responsibility and character by coming to this decision - despite everything that you must be going through, we believe that our paths were meant to cross in this way. Thank you for giving us the opportunity to share our story, and to tell you why we are so excited to share our life with our child. more ...
Jason and Ashley
Dear Birthmother, We honor you, in that you have chosen life and adoption for your precious child. We understand this may be the most difficult decision that you have made in your life. Please know that we (and our families) have been praying for you and your baby. “And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him...” Romans 8:28. This is a verse that has helped us through our time of infertility and the process of adopting a child into our family. We know that God has the most perfect plan for our life, and for your life as well. We have felt, since meeting in college, that it may be the plan for our lives to adopt a child and we feel that time is now. We are so excited to be parents and we appreciate you thoughtfully considering us in your adoption plan. You will be providing an amazing life for your child. We promise to love your child unconditionally and to raise him or her in a Christian home. Thank you for taking the time to read about our life together. more ...
Jason and Janine
Are you searching for a family for your child that will:
Read bedtime stories every night?
Enjoy lazy pancake weekend mornings?
Incorporate music and singing into everyday life?
Encourage curiosity and a love of learning?
Experience nature and enjoy camping trips together?
Play in the snow in winter and swim in summer?
Encourage a love of peace and simple living?
This is the kind of family we are and we hope that our profile will give you a better idea of what kind of parents we would be to your child. We have been blessed by the adoption of our first child, Isaac, but have always wanted several children. We are excited to grow our family again through adoption. We admire the strength and courage you have in deciding on adoption and pray you will have a sense of peace in choosing a family. more ...

Hello! We’re happy that you are taking the time to get to know us. Our personalities and life stories are impossible to share in such little space. We’re talkers, so this isn’t going to be easy! Long before we pursued infertility treatments, we felt adoption would be a great way to grow our family. We have close friends with three adopted children who have taught and inspired us. We were fortunate to experience pregnancy, but we lost little “Bubba” to a miscarriage. We held our heads high, grew closer as a couple, and came out the other side stronger. Many months later we knew adoption would be the path that was right for us. Never having been in your shoes, we won’t say we understand what you’re going through—we certainly don’t. But, we know love and courage is part of what it takes to follow the plan you’ve made. We’d like to thank you for choosing adoption and say how thrilled and honored we’d be if you chose us to be the parents of your child, who will always know your decision was made out of love. We’re very excited to be on the adoption journey. Let the adventure begin! more ...
