Matt and Jessi

Life's a journey and we're ready to go on it with you! Hello - We are Matt and Jessi from PA. We have a great amount of respect & admiration for your courage to consider us as an adoptive family. We hope by looking at our photos & reading about our lives, you'll find comfort in knowing how much we want to share our lives with a child. We are excited to take this journey together with you. We offer our sincere support & prayers for a sense of peace in making this decision. We look forward to meeting you soon! The Story of Us: We met during college & it wasn't long before our friendship blossomed into a fairytale romance. Jessi fell in love with Matt that 1st summer together because he showed a huge amount of kindness toward her family. Matt fell in love with Jessi that same summer & whispered it to her but she didn't hear it. He thought she didn't feel the same & was afraid to say it again but just days later, Jessi told him she loved him & he knew it was going to be the love of his lifetime. Dating for 7yrs. all through college, grad school, & our 1st jobs allowed us to solidify our bond & experience life together as a couple. Matt is an accountant; Jessi is a therapist. Jessi enjoys yoga & nature; Matt enjoys movies & woodworking. Matt was raised in the city; Jessi was raised in the countryside. We have a 3 yr. old cat named Maple (named after a trip to Canada). Both of us are really active in church & volunteering in our community. We love to travel & try new places (& local food!). It helps us appreciate God's hand in all aspects of life. Bringing our son or daughter along for these adventures will help them experience the world from a global perspective & have unique cultural ventures. We've lived in our home for 11 yrs. It's in a quiet, family friendly neighborhood with children of all ages. We have a large backyard with plenty of room to run & play safely. We grow organic veggies & fruits & have taught our neighbors how to do the same. Close to us are 6 different parks, community events, restaurants, our church, friends & our jobs. Home improvement projects are a hobby for us. Jessi's Dad comes over for pointers & lends a hand from time to time. Matt has perfected his skills during our various renovations. Our latest project was the nursery for a new little one! Why We're Choosing Adoption: Jessi developed a heart for adoption early in her life & shared this desire with Matt. After 4 yrs. of marriage, we began trying to conceive with no success. God spoke to Matt very clearly on several occasions that he was intended to build a family in a different way. Since that time, we have been praying for the opportunity to raise a child through adoption. We've been praying for you & your family throughout this experience. Our friends & family have also been doing the same for you. We are blessed to have several people in our lives that have adopted children, a cousin that's a birth parent, and friends whom were adopted earlier in their lives. God had been preparing us all along for adoption - conceiving a child in our hearts. We believe He has also been preparing you to make this decision to entrust someone with your child.

Matt and Megan

Hello, Thank you for taking the time to learn about our family and for considering our family in your adoption plan. This must be an incredibly difficult decision to make, and we want you to know that you aren’t in this alone. We’re Matt and Megan and we’re excited that you’re reading our letter! We grew up less than three miles away from each other, but we didn’t meet until we were sixteen. When we were first introduced at a swim meet, we were essentially the definition of opposites attract. Matt was outgoing and adventurous, while Megan was far more reserved. Besides a few mutual friends, we had very little in common at first. Over the years, Matt taught Megan to step out of her box and introduced her to snowboarding, all kinds of new foods, to not sweat the small stuff (and sometimes even the medium stuff), and he sparked her love for travel. Megan helped Matt get organized, taught him that there should always be ice cream in the freezer, and that sometimes the best adventures are right outside your front door. Over the years our two cats, Lucky and Chance, and our two dogs, Sora and Storm, joined us and brought a whole lot of energy to our family. Two years ago, our parenting adventures began when we adopted our daughter, Marina. She's been a ray of sunshine in our lives. She's bright, funny, and curious. Marina loves to play with our pets, go swimming, ride her bike, read books, and dance. She enjoys playing with her friends, meeting new people, and hanging out with her Aunt and Uncle. As a family we enjoy spending time together, whether it’s hanging out around the house, getting outside to enjoy the parks in our neighborhood, or traveling to explore somewhere new. We are truly blessed to not only have Marina in our lives, but to have a really supportive network of friends and family nearby. We are excited and humbled at the opportunity to welcome your child into a home full of love and care. We know that you may want updates on your child’s development, and you may want to visit with them. Our goal is to create a lifelong relationship that meets everyone’s needs. We feel that open lines of communication are important and we want to do everything we can to help your child grow up healthy and secure. Thank you again for your consideration and we hope to meet you in the future. Love, Megan and Matt

Andrew and Brittany

Dear expectant parent(s), thank you for taking the time to learn a little bit about us. We are Andrew, Brittany, Isaiah, Levi, and Cyrus. We are so excited to grow our family through adoption. When we first started dating we discussed our desire to one day adopt. We are praying that God brings us the right fit our family, in His timing. We are also praying for you and your journey as you plan for you and your baby's future.

FRANK and JULIE

Our letter to you, As you embark on the journey to find the right family for your child, we pray that God will guide you to finding the answers you are searching for. We have such a deep admiration for your strength, selflessness and your courage. The love you have for your baby is forever. We will continue to pray for you. Open adoption is not new to us. We went through this journey seven years ago through Bethany when we adopted our daughter. We have an understanding and a deep compassion for how you might be feeling and we hope you can take comfort in knowing our experience through Bethany has been amazing. Our open adoption with our daughter's birth parents and their extended family is truly special and we are so thankful they are present in our lives and our daughter's life. We are looking forward to growing our family and our daughter is beyond excited to be a big sister. God's timing is perfect and He will guide us all through this journey together. We hope this profile provides you a glimpse into who we are as a family. Our friends and family are praying for you and we look forward to meeting and getting to know you.

Michael and Staci

Thank you for taking the time to learn about us. We hope that this page will give you a small glimpse into our family's life. We would be honored if you would consider us as you make this most difficult decision. We hope that you will see our love for each other, our family, and our future child. Please know, that we would love for you to always be apart of our family's life. You are already special to us. We always want your child to know who they are and where they came from. Michael and I have known for a long time that adoption would be a part of our story. We believe that God lovingly adopted us into His family, and therefore adoption is something that we have always been excited for. We know that God has already chosen and set aside a specific child for us. We can't pretend to fully understand the depth of what you are going through. Your courage and selflessness are inspiring. We want you to know that we respect you and your choice for life, and that we love you already. We pray for you daily. We pray that you will have strength, courage, and protection through this process. We promise that if you choose us, our home will always be filled with love and laughter, and you will forever be in our thoughts and conversation. Much love, Michael and Staci

Shannon and Michelle

Hi we are Shannon and Michelle Mulrooney. Over a decade ago our paths crossed when we were set up by mutual friends who knew we would be a perfect match for each other. And after almost 15 years the rest is history. We have been on a long journey of trying to start a family and our path has led us to Bethany Christian Services and we're so excited to begin the next chapter in our journey to become parents!

Edward and Jennifer

We are Ed and Jen. We thank you for taking the time to learn more about our family. We are a small family with a vast support group that enjoys spending time together and staying active. We are a military family and have a strong faith in God and a devotion to service of people and country. Every day is one that we don’t take for granted, everywhere we go, we leave with new friends and a story that stays with us for life. If you decide to make an adoption plan, we want to assure you that we promise to respect you and your level of openness. We also promise to always honor and respect you in our everyday life. Something that is particularly important to us is that we want to raise our child with respect and strength of self. That starts with showing them respect for you and their birth story. We hope this page gives you a good glimpse of our life.

Jesse and Shelby

Hello! We are Jesse, Shelby and Brayden! Thank you so much for taking the time to learn a little bit about us. We have been married for 7 years and live in Holland, MI. In 2018 we found out that our dream of having biological children was no longer a possibility. As difficult as that was, through much prayer and support, we felt led and were excited to began our journey of adoption. Adoption has been such an incredible blessing and has made our lifelong dreams of becoming parents a reality. Our son Brayden was placed with us at birth and is now 2.5 years old. He is full of life and is always on the go. He loves all things tractors, firetrucks, construction equipment and sports! We are all so excited to grow our family once again through adoption. We enjoy boating, going to sporting events, playing games, being outdoors and hanging out with family and friends. We realize that as you are reading this you have a lot on your mind. We are praying for you. No decision that is made can change the plans God ultimately already has for you and for your baby. We want you to know that if you decide to move forward with an adoption plan this is not the end but only the beginning of a lifelong journey. Both you and your child are loved beyond measure. You are so courageous and we admire that about you! We would love the opportunity to meet you!

Harry and Sheila

Thank you for taking a few moments to look at our profile! We hope this gives you a glimpse into our lives and that it helps you to get to know us a bit. We truly believe that every encounter has a purpose, and that God has brought our lives together for a reason, even if only for these few moments so that we can include you in our prayers. We can't imagine the immensity of the decision that you're faced with, and we thank you for choosing life for your child. If you choose us to parent your child, we assure you that we will honor you in every way possible.

Ryan and Emily

Thank you so much for taking the time to learn about our family and for considering us as you make this difficult decision. We hope that you will be able to see the love we have for each other, our families and our future child. We absolutely love being parents and we can't wait for our family to grow and for Oliver to be a big brother. While both of us had thought about adoption when we were younger, it was not something we had ever discussed with each other. After trying unsuccessfully to get pregnant for a year, we learned that we are unable to have biological children. We decided to pursue embryo adoption first, hoping to continue to grow our family through traditional adoption later on. After having a miscarriage, we felt that God was leading us to creating our family through adoption. In God's perfect plan and timing, our first son, Oliver, was born in January 2018. We continue to seek God's glory in our lives as we pray for a little sibling for Oliver. We want you to know how much love and respect we feel for you already. We cannot imagine what a difficult decision this is for you and we are praying for you daily. We pray that you would have the strength and the courage that you need, and, above all else, that you would feel the unconditional love of God. We hope that you will find us to be all that you hope for your child. Ryan and Emily

Matt and Kelly

We want to thank you for taking the time to look at our profile and to learn more about our family. We hope it will give you a clear picture of our life together and what is most important to us. We especially want you to know that we are thinking of you during this time. Words cannot express how much we admire your courage, strength, and selfless love! We are so grateful you are choosing the gift of adoption! From the early years of our marriage, we talked and dreamed about having a family. After struggling with infertility, we knew God was directing both of our hearts to adoption. It took some time for His path for us to unfold, but the ups and downs of the journey strengthened our faith in Him and our relationship with each other. We were overjoyed to become parents in 2013 when we adopted our daughter, Caroline. We are very excited for the opportunity to grow our family though adoption again! The three of us cannot wait to welcome this child into our family and to share our life and love with him or her! Again, thank you for taking the time to learn more about us. We look forward to learning more about you! With Love, Matt, Kelly, and Caroline

Jesse and Krista

Dear Friend, God loves you and so do we. We cannot imagine the difficult decision that you are facing, but we admire you for prayerfully considering the beautiful choice of adoption. Only a selfless, loving, and courageous mother can make this choice. We thank you for giving us the opportunity to tell you about ourselves and we hope you consider getting to know us a little bit more. Love, Jesse, Krista, and Siboney
