Amanda and Matthew

Dear Expectant Parent, Thank you for taking the time to learn about us. We know you may be facing deeply personal decisions, and we want to begin by honoring the love, courage, and care you are putting into thinking about your child’s future. We are Amanda and Matthew, together for 10 years and married for 7. Our family is built on Christian faith, love, prayer, patience, and commitment. As we pursue adoption, we do so with open hearts and a deep respect for the story, identity, and birth family that will always be an honored part of a child’s life. Our careers give our family both stability and flexibility. Amanda is a Chemical Engineer with a master’s degree in business and works remotely as a corporate senior manager. Matt is a lead diesel technician just 15 minutes from home, and his four-day schedule gives him three days home each week. We are grateful to provide for our family while still being present in our children’s daily lives. We live in a supportive suburban community that offers both convenience and peace. A grocery store is a quick walk away, yet our backyard feels quiet and country-like—a serene place for children to play, explore, and grow. We are blessed to be parents to our 3-year-old daughter, Emma, who was born profoundly deaf and is on the autism spectrum. Emma is silly, fierce, sassy, determined, inquisitive, and full of perseverance. She loves being outside, dancing, and singing, and she has taught us so much about joy, communication, patience, advocacy, and unconditional love. Our extended family is close and deeply involved. Amanda’s parents moved to Michigan last year and live just 1.5 miles away, where they are loving grandparents and help with childcare when we work. Matt’s family lives about 30 minutes away, including both his grandmothers and his grandfather. We are grateful our children will grow up surrounded by generations of love and support. In our home, a child would be surrounded by faith, encouragement, stability, and unconditional love. We treasure bedtime prayers and stories, family dinners, holidays, walks outside, silly moments, learning new things, traveling, and exploring new places together. We hope to create a childhood where a child feels safe, cherished, included, and free to become who God created them to be. As parents, we will guide with kindness, support with consistency, advocate for each child’s needs, and celebrate their strengths. We will not always get it right, but we will apologize, learn, and adjust. Most importantly, we will make sure your child always knows they are deeply loved and that their story began with love. We understand adoption is about a child’s life, a birth family’s love, and a relationship that deserves honesty and respect. If you choose adoption and choose us, we will welcome a connection that feels healthy and comfortable for everyone, whether through letters, photos, visits, or another form that honors your wishes and your child’s needs. Whatever path you choose, we hope you feel supported, respected, and at peace. Thank you for considering us and for allowing us to share our hearts with you. With gratitude and respect, Amanda & Matt

Joshua and Chelsea

We have been together for six years, married for five. We are so excited to share our love with a little one, and with Josh himself being adopted, this just seemed like the natural path for us to take to grow our family together.

Daniel and Zoe

We want to thank you for taking the time to get to know us. First, we hope you are doing well during your pregnancy. We can’t begin to imagine how hard and overwhelming this decision is for you. We’re sending you the biggest hug right now. We hope that no matter what you decide, that you are surrounded by love, compassion and support. We would count it a privilege to get to know you, and are praying for you and your child as you sacrificially and courageously care for them in this way. We understand that this is a very difficult time, and we totally understand the wide range of emotions that the adoption process makes birth families feel. We have learned that once you connect, start to talk and get to know each other it gets a bit easier and the process starts to become more real and less scary.

May you find comfort in knowing that no decision we make can change the plans God ultimately already has for each of us and the ones we love. We want you to know that if you decide to move forward with making an adoption plan, this is not the end but only the beginning of a lifelong journey. You are loved and God has incredible plans for you. If we are a part of that plan, we are SO excited to meet you! No matter the decision you choose know that you are being held up in prayer to a God who loves you so much!

Rachel and Michael

Dear Expectant Parent(s), Thank you for taking the time to get to know us. We are Rachel and Michael, and we've been happily married for over seven years. Expanding our family has always been close to our hearts. Coming from large families ourselves, we deeply appreciate the warmth and joy that comes from having a strong support system. Unfortunately, our journey to parenthood has included challenges, as we have been unable to have a child of our own. While this has been a difficult path for us, we have found clarity through heartfelt discussions and prayer. We believe that adopting a child is the path we are meant to pursue. We are so grateful for the example our families have set in valuing love and connection. We are committed to creating a home that is safe, nurturing, and filled with compassion not only for our future child but for you as well. Establishing a relationship with you is important to us, as we recognize the courage and thoughtfulness involved in your decision. We are committed to loving your child as our own. Thank you again for considering our story. We understand that this is a very difficult time for you, full of lots of emotions. We want you to know that we will be holding you in our thoughts and prayers, regardless of the outcome. - Michael and Rachel

Tim and Jess

Hello, and thank you for taking the time to learn about us and our family. We are so grateful for your openness to consider us as a possible future for your child. Adoption has been on our hearts since our early marriage, and we are praying to grow our family after struggling with infertility. We live in a suburb of Southeastern Michigan with our daughter and 2 dogs, Elwood and Mira. They are wonderful companions for our daughter, but she is praying to be a big sister soon. We live in a safe, small community with the best neighbors and a park right next door! The schools are within walking distance and we have a library we love to visit close by. We have a backyard with a swing set and a garden that we try to grow new vegetables in each year. We attend church regularly and try to stay involved with events and volunteer opportunities there. Our church has a strong focus on service and the local community, and that is what we love about it! We enjoy going for walks, riding our bikes, fishing, family game nights, cooking together, and family movie nights snuggled up on the couch. Visits to see our extended family are a regular weekly activity for us, as we love for our daughter to spend time and play with her cousins and see her grandparents. A child growing up in our home would always know that they are heard, important, safe, and cared for. They will join our current family of 3 for nightly bedtime stories, cousin's birthday parties, and picnics at the park by our house. We look forward to creating arts and crafts with them and discovering new recipes in the kitchen! Please know that if you choose to place your child in our home, we will strive to love them deeply for exactly who they are, and to develop all the beautiful parts of their personality and spirit.

Michael and Laura Beth

We are Michael and Laura Beth, and we want to start by saying thank you. We can’t imagine the courage and bravery it takes to make the decision you have. We know that God is faithful to answer our prayers and cries for help, and we pray that you feel his presence. We have talked about adoption since we were dating, and the Lord made it clear to us that adoption is how He wants to grow our family. We are excited to walk alongside you through this process and see how God provides. We believe that adoption is a beautiful picture of the Gospel, and know that God can bring beauty out of the heartache. We greatly value the love you have for your child in making this decision and don’t take it lightly. Thank you for taking the time to get to know us more!

Dennis and Judith - Hoping to Adopt·Thursday, January 31, 2019 Dear Birth Family, Thank you so much for taking the time to view our profile. It is hard to summarize your life in just a few paragraphs. We have known from the start that we wouldn’t be able to have children naturally but we knew that God had a different plan for us.
