Mike and Jayne
Dear Birthmother, Thank you for taking the time to read our profile. Before we begin to tell you about us, we would like to tell you how much we admire the loving and selfless decision you have made to create an adoption plan for your child. Your decision to share the gift of life is the most courageous act of love. We can’t even begin to imagine what you are going through, but with God’s will, we know you will make the best choices for your child. When we decided to start a family, we were very excited. When it was discovered we couldn’t conceive, we were heartbroken, but we knew all was not lost. We turned to adoption. Not only were we excited about the journey, so were our friends and family who showered us with love and support. It was through adoption four years ago that we were blessed with a beautiful baby boy. Now we are excited to begin the journey again to grow our family. As you continue to read our story, please know that we promise to provide the most loving, healthy, stable home for a child and nurture him/her with unconditional love. more ...

Dear Birthmother: What do we say? Thank you for reading our profile. Thank you for considering us to parent your child. Thank you for choosing adoption for your child. We would be honored to be parents to your baby. We have lost numerous pregnancies to miscarriages, so we understand what a miracle that you are carrying. We believe that what will be, will be. We have tried not to question. The prayer that starts with “God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; courage to change the things I can; and wisdom to know the difference.” has helped. We are sure that you have some of these same feelings of wondering why. Hopefully, we are the answer. Always know you are making the best decision for your baby and yourself. We are definitely ready to be parents and to care for a baby. We have waited to be parents for a long time and hope that with your help our time is now. more ...

Dear Birthmother, We feel honored to have an opportunity to share ourselves with you and allow you to choose us as partners in, what might be, one of the most significant times in both of our lives. We hope this profile will give you reassurance of the type of parents we will be and the type of marriage we have. We have been unable to conceive a baby ourselves, however we know our lives would not be complete without children. Through our process of infertility, we have increased our commitment and love for one another. We can’t thank you enough for the possibility of making this a reality for us. Our hope is that through this difficult decision, you may find peace and comfort in knowing that we will love and care for a child with all our heart. We promise to be open and honest with you, allowing mutual trust and respect to develop as we all move forward in this journey. more ...

Dear Birthmother, first, we wish to express our admiration for the strength and courage that you possess. We can only imagine the conflicting emotions you are experiencing. The selfless act of making an adoption plan shows that you truly have your child’s best interest in mind. We appreciate you taking the time to get to know us and hope our profile gives you a glimpse at the qualities we will hold as parents. Our relationship is built on trust, respect, friendship, and love—the values we feel are essential to a warm and stable home. Together, we share a very special history and our commitment runs deep. We have learned that we can handle anything life throws at us as long as we keep a positive outlook, and we now feel we have the foundation needed in order to further grow our family. Raising children has always been a dream of ours. We believe God chose the path of adoption for us when we were told we would be unable to conceive. It is with much excitement that we begin this journey and look forward to building the family we’ve always wanted. more ...
Patrick and April
Dear Birth Mother and family, thank you for considering us and taking the time to review our profile. We admire the strength and courage you must have to plan for an adoption. We would be honored to love, care for and raise your baby, knowing that it was your act of love that completed our family. God has a plan for each and every one of us. We have known since April had a surgery when she was 12 that conceiving would be difficult. Because of this we have always looked forward to growing our family through adoption. We were blessed to bring home our son Logan through adoption in March 2010. We have faith that God’s plan for us is to adopt another child to complete our family. Your child could be the child we are intended to love and adore. Your child would have a caring, stable home, filled with kindness and many varied opportunities. Our home is one of unconditional love, acceptance and joy. Because our community and friends come from a wide range of cultures and backgrounds, we are ready to love and provide for a child of any race or ethnic background. Our goal is to raise our children to become the strong and successful people they are uniquely meant to be. Thank you for taking the time to look at our profile and consider us as the family for your child. We look forward to bringing another child into our hearts. more ...
Paul and Becky
Dear Birthmother, We imagine you may be nervous about choosing the ‘right’ people to raise your baby and hope that reading this is helpful to you. We can only begin to imagine the difficult road you are traveling. We have been praying for you. As much as we are anxiously anticipating adopting a baby we are equally concerned for your happiness and health before and after your baby is born. We are praying that you are feeling content about your decision to make an adoption plan and that you have peace through all the decisions you have to make. We want you to know that we love Jesus with all our hearts. Our commitment to serving God with our lives directs every decision we make. Your child will know how much Jesus loves them from the moment they enter our home. We hope to adopt children to become a multicultural family. We’re passionate about reflecting the diversity of the kingdom of God here on earth. We feel that adoption is a reflection of how God has adopted us into His family. We have many close friends who have adopted, so this feels very natural for us. more ...
Pete and Angie
Dear Birth Parent, We are Pete and Angie, and we are so pleased that you are taking the time to read our profile! Having adopted our son, we know first hand what an amazing, selfless decision you’ve made to plan an adoption for your baby. Although we cannot begin to understand how difficult this decision is for you, we do understand that you’ve made it entirely out of love and a desire to provide your child with the best life possible. As we wrote this profile, we tried to put ourselves in your shoes and think about what we would most want to know about the potential adoptive parents of our child. First and foremost, we want to assure you, if you choose us to parent your child, we will love him or her completely and unconditionally. We will try our best to provide your child with a childhood similar to the ones we both experienced—in a loving, secure home full of respect, happiness, and laughter. Our decision to adopt was made even before we married. Angie was born with a genetic disorder that will more than likely be inherited by any children born to her biologically. Because of this, we decided long ago that adoption was the answer to our dream of having a family. more ...
Pete and Sarah
Dear Birthmother, We are very touched by the love and courage you’re showing for your child by creating an adoption plan. We don’t know firsthand the challenges making an adoption plan will involve, but we hope sharing ourselves with you will help as you face some of those challenges. We are Pete and Sarah and we met in 2003. Even before we married in 2008 we knew we would build our family through adoption because of infertility. We have witnessed the joys of parenthood with our siblings and are excited to become parents ourselves. Our families have taught us about love and support, and we are ready to share what we have learned with our first child. Grandparents, aunts and uncles, cousins, and even great-grandparents are eager to welcome a new member to our family. We hope our profile gives you the chance to get to know us and the love we want to share with you and your child. We know you have dreams for your child’s future, and we would love to help you see them come true. more ...
Phillip and Amanda
Dear Birth Mother, We can’t imagine how difficult this decision must be for you. We admire and respect the courage it took to give your child the gift of life and your selflessness in making this journey toward adoption. Your baby is so blessed to have a mother who loves him or her so much. We know that you want the very best for your child and for them to grow up well-cared for and in a loving family, with every opportunity to succeed. We believe that we can be that family. We want you to know that if you choose to travel this path with us you will be safe, supported, and most of all, your choices will be respected. We are willing to have a relationship with any level of openness that you are comfortable with no matter how much or how little contact you want to maintain. We want you to know that you will always be a part of your child’s life. As parents we will share the story about your courage and love to your child. Through your selfless act of love, you will help us to complete our family. Your baby will be loved, cherished, nurtured, and guided. We thank you for considering us to be your child’s parents. more ...
Rich and Jenny
Hello, We know life can be full of surprises. In fact, when we were first introduced we thought it was to meet a new friend. What a wonderful turn of events to fall in love instead! A challenge for us was the inability to conceive, but we embraced this twist in the road. It is now clear to us that our family is meant to be formed through the process of adoption. Sometimes you “just know” when something is right for you. Relationships are the most important things in our lives. For us, that begins with our strong and solid marriage. We show our love to each other every day. Jenny recently came out to her car to find a caring note from Rich on the windshield, and Rich always smiles when he sees Jenny’s warm text messages throughout the day. Thank you for taking time to consider us. Perhaps making an adoption plan is an unexpected event in your life. Although we don’t assume to know how you feel, you have our support and understanding. If you choose us to parent your child, we hope it will bring you some comfort to know that we will provide him or her with a lifetime of unconditional love. more ...
