Drew and Sarah
We can’t tell you how much it means that you might consider our family to love your baby forever. It’s hard to put into words and pictures how hopeful we are to complete our family through adoption. Our daughter, Emma Kate, is now almost 4 ½ and so excited to someday be a big sister. During the week I (Sarah) am home with Emma Kate. We’re usually busy with trips to the library, local parks, and play dates with friends. We are so excited to have another little one join us along in our daily adventures! Drew is awesome at the daddy-daughter dates that include bike riding, hiking, and even putting on some rain boots to splash in puddles. Like all families, we are not perfect, but we promise that as a family we love lots, play hard, forgive, laugh, cry, and learn together. We can’t wait to have another sweet one to love and include in the things our family loves most. Family means so much to us and it is the hope of our hearts that Emma Kate would have a sibling to grow up with. We adopted our daughter through domestic infant adoption in 2018. We have an open adoption with her parents and to this day share photos and updates. It would mean so much to us if we had the opportunity to do the same with you. It is very important to us that we talk openly with our children about adoption and that they know the love and sacrifice both of you have made. It would be such an honor to welcome this sweet baby into our family, provide for them, meet their needs, love them forever, and walk with you in this adoption process. No matter what happens, we’re praying for you and your entire family.

Hello, You don’t know us yet, but we have been praying for you for a while. We know you may be nervous about this process, and we are too. You want what is best for your precious baby. We do too. Whatever your decision at the end of this process, we recognize that you have many big and possibly difficult decisions ahead. We are continuing to pray for you. Above all, we want you to know that you are not only loved and accepted by us, but also by our Heavenly Father. We already know you are incredibly courageous, and we are excited at the opportunity to meet you and get to know you. We believe adoption is the most beautiful way to complete our family, and what God has called us to do. Adoption is something we have always talked about being a part of our story. These conversations began while we were still dating, and we are so excited to be living out this chapter now. We want you to be a part of our story as well. We are thrilled to adopt. We cannot wait to love on a precious little one. We want whatever is best for you, and to be able to encourage you through this journey. We see the adoption process as a ministry God has clearly directed both of our hearts to. Thank you for your courage and love that you have already shown that sweet baby of yours!

Brendan and Petrea
Hello! We have been praying for you for a long time. Though we don't know you yet, a love for you continues to grow in our hearts. We know that you have been walking a long and painful road. Adoption is a selfless decision and we honor you for considering it. This is a difficult journey and we want to walk beside you. Adoption has always been in our heart. Even when we were dating, we would discuss it. Little did we know, God would be leading us in this direction in a very clear way. In January, 2017, God saved Petrea's life. In order to save her life, however, she lost the ability to have children. We know the Lord spared her life for a reason and we want to continue making a difference in people's lives, especially children's lives. We want to provide your child with a loving godly home to grow up in. We also want you to know that we are here for you. No one is going to understand your journey completely, but God. He is the one who walks beside you and carries you when the road is too difficult for you. He has blessed you with this child. This child is a gift and you are choosing to give this most precious gift to a loving family. We honor you for that! God be with you, Brendan and Petrea

Nick and Kim
Let us start by telling you about Nick and myself. We met while working together at a hospital, Nick was working towards his paramedic license, and I was working as an X-ray Tech. There was something about his personality and the way he cared for people that immediately made me attracted to him. Fast forward 14 years later and we are happily married with a beautiful son, crazy dog and great family and friends. Unfortunately, early on we found ourselves in the ever-growing group of people who struggle with infertility. This has been a big obstacle in our lives, but we have continually tried to overcome it. After 5 years of infertility treatment, many IVF’s, donor eggs etc. we were blessed with a beautiful baby named Vincent. Vincent was born with a rare autoimmune disorder that ultimately took his life at only 46 days old. In those brief 46 days as Vincent’s parents, under the most stressful times either of us had ever experienced, we came to know the true meaning of unconditional love. Although we lost our first son, he helped our faith not only in God but in ourselves… that we will again be loving and caring parents. We were blessed to adopt our son Hunter in early 2020. He is a beautiful, caring loving soul. He again brought back that feeling of true unconditional love. He has filled our hearts with love and given us the gift of being parents again. We cherish the fact we were trusted to raise and love him and give that responsibility everything we have. We hope to continue to grow as a family, travel, learn new things and experience life as it comes. As we close this letter, we are enormously thankful for the opportunity to share our story and to let you know that if chosen we will love your child unconditionally for the rest of our lives.

Hello Friend, Thank you for taking the time to learn more about us. We can only imagine that this may be one of the greatest challenges you have faced and we respect your courage in exploring adoption for your baby. We believe that this story has a happy ending. Our story is pretty simple. Dana and her brother were both adopted into a loving family and she has always believed that adoption would be part of growing her family. Michael loves being a dad and definitely wants to pour his life and love into more little ones. We have one little boy, Jack, who is so excited to be a big brother. We would love to talk with you about your story and explore together the level of openness you would want with our family. If you'd like to learn more about us, our values, and passions we've done our best in the following pages to give you a glimpse into our life. We have been praying and preparing for this time and sincerely hope we have the opportunity to get to know you and explore the next chapter of this story together. - Michael & Dana
