Steve and Bernie
What can we possibly say that hasn’t already been said by every other couple? Thank you. We saw firsthand with our son’s birthmother how difficult a decision this is. When she asked to see him before she moved out of state, we saw how much she loved him. We know that this is the most difficult thing you will probably ever do and that you are doing it out of love for your child. We struggled for many months ourselves with difficult decisions that ultimately resulted in multiple unsuccessful fertility treatments. While this was an emotionally painful and difficult process for us, it ultimately led to a wonderful outcome when we adopted our son, Matthew. He has brought us so much joy and love that we now want to share that with another child. We want to assure you that your child will also have our love and all that we can provide: a loving home, a supportive extended family, faith in God, a good education, and plenty of fun and laughter.more ...

We are Steve and Kristin. Thanks for taking the time to learn about us. Both you and we have been through some trying times in our lives lately. We have coped with infertility for three years and the devastating knowledge that alone, we cannot fulfill our dream for more children. You too have experienced an overwhelming situation in your life. It is difficult to predict the paths that our lives are going to take. The direction you have chosen takes an amazing strength of spirit and faith, filled with uncertainty and heartache.more ...
Tim and Carol
Baby boy placed 3/08!
Hello! We would like to thank you for taking the time to read our profile. We cannot imagine how difficult it must be to find the right parents for your child. We believe that adoption between birthparents and adoptive parents is the greatest gift of love, and we want to assure you that we are able to give your child a safe and loving family. Although our struggle with infertility brought us much pain and disappointment, it also led us to discover the true strength of our love and marriage and the even deeper mutual respect and admiration we feel for one another. We realized just how committed we are to each other, as well as how very much we want to be parents together. After speaking to several close relatives who have adopted, we quickly embraced the opportunity to adopt. We realize that God has led us down a different path in life, and we know we were meant to be parents. We are very excited about becoming parents and are eager to learn more about you and the future you desire for your baby. Whatever degree of openness you are considering, we promise to respect your individual wishes both before and after placement.more ...
Tom and Jane
When we were married six years ago, we both wanted to start a family right away. After struggling with infertility, we decided to build our family through adoption. We have seen firsthand what a great opportunity adoption can be for the child, the birth parents and the adoptive parents. In 2005, we adopted our wonderful son, Robby, and we truly enjoy being parents.more ...
Tom and Jodi
We know that despite what some people think, placing a child for adoption is never easy. To find the perfect parents for a child that you love so much, almost seems impossible. Through God’s works, you and your baby’s adoptive parents will be brought together. Although we don’t always know why things happen, we believe they are for a reason. Six months into dating, Tom sustained a paralyzing neck injury while playing hockey. Tom and an opposing player collided, breaking the fifth vertebra in Tom’s neck. We have always wanted a family and planned on adoption since we got married six years ago. We believe all things happen for a reason and that our family is meant to come to us through adoption. Our family started in January of 2007 with the adoption of a baby boy, Ryan. He has brought us so much joy and happiness! We now know a new depth to the meaning of love. Our eyes well up with tears watching him and thinking how blessed we are to have this miracle. We are hoping and praying to be blessed again with the miracle of another child through adoption. We pray you will be granted strength and guidance through this heartbreaking process and in the years to come.more ...
Tom and Kylie
Love. Yours and ours. Words cannot express the love you have for your child. Your decision to make an adoption plan is a difficult one, and we are humbled and grateful that you have chosen to take the time to consider us. Even though we have not met, you have been in our prayers for a long time now and will continue to be there whether you choose us to parent your child or not. We have so much respect for you. We have so much love to share with your child and would like for you to get to know us better. We have been together for over fourteen years, married for just over ten, and have always dreamed of having a child to love and parent. Conceiving a child, however, was not God’s plan for us. From our very first conversations about becoming parents, we discussed the option of adoption as a way to share the love we hold in our hearts. Although infertility is sad, we are blessed to have aunts and uncles who built and expanded their families through adoption. They have been positive examples, constant sources of hope, and will be sources of strength as we begin parenting your child.more ...
Tom and Lynne
We want to start by thanking you for considering us as a potential family for your child. Before saying anything else about us, we feel that we have at least two important things in common with you. Both of us have experienced recent challenges in our lives that have forced us to make difficult decisions. We also both want what is best for your child. We recognize that we cannot possibly understand the feelings and emotions you have gone through in making a choice for the future of your child, just as our recent struggles to parent a child are unknown to you.more ...
Wade and Denise
Dear Birthmother, Hello! We are Wade and Denise, and we want to thank you for considering us as prospective parents of your baby. We understand that this is one of the most difficult decisions that you will ever make and believe you are very courageous in making an adoption plan for your baby. We pray for your strength and peace as you decide on a family to raise your child. What a wonderful gift you are considering! We were together for five years before getting married and have been married for ten. In our attempts to conceive a child, and just by being together for the last 15 years, we are closer to each other than ever. We are very good friends and truly enjoy each other’s company. We were blessed with a wonderful son, Dean, in 2002. Watching him grow has brought great joy to our lives yet we still feel that our family is not complete. We have been hoping, praying, and trying for another child for the last four years, and we believe that God’s plan for our family is to expand through adoption. We are so excited for this to happen. Dean would love a brother or sister, and he reminds us often! We have so much more love to share with another child and would be honored to receive such a gift from you. We look forward to meeting and getting to know you.more ...
