Hello! We stand in awe of how brave you have been choosing life for your baby! Please know you are deeply loved and prayed for every day by our family, and we are honored that you want to learn a little bit about us as you consider making an adoption plan. We are excited to grow our family again through adoption. Our desire is that you see a glimpse of what “real” everyday life is like in our home, not perfection or glammed up pictures. That is why we thought it would be best to share a part of our story from the perspective of Elliot, our son, as he is one special kiddo and tells everything “like it is!" Our prayer is that you see us as a family that is deeply grounded in our faith in God, our devotion to our family and friends, and our desire to serve others.

Jason and Erin
In 2015 our world was changed when Isabel's birth mom chose us to be her parents. The day we received the phone call is etched in our memories as one of great joy and of immense gratitude that she would choose us to be the parents for her daughter. We have been married for over 14 years and we met in college. We both work for non-profits and we love that what we do helps others. Our family all lives within 2 hours of us and we make sure we see them as much as we can because we know how important grandparents are. We live in a 4 bedroom house with a fenced in backyard, with a play-set. The neighborhood is diverse and has a swimming pool and tennis courts. We spend time outside and with our neighbors.

We are so honored that you would consider us as an adoptive family for your child. Thank you! Our hearts are full with gratitude to the Lord for adopting us as His own children, so we are truly excited to display such powerful love through adoption in our family. Our highest desire is that this child would know -- without a shadow of a doubt -- that he or she is loved unconditionally, by us as well as our Father in Heaven. We hope you also will come to know the love of God in a deeper way through all of this. However much our lives stay connected, in whatever ways you are comfortable with, we know that our hearts will always be bonded over a deep love for this child and a hope for a bright future. For that, we will be forever grateful to you and will do everything in our power to honor the life you entrust to us. Whatever choice you make, know that we are praying for you!

Matthew and Laura
We are so thankful for the opportunity to show you our family. More than anything we want you to know how loved and valued you are. You have been created perfectly. God has an amazing plan and purpose for you and the precious baby that you are carrying. We pray that you would never doubt that you are meaningful and loved, whether you choose our family to parent your child or not, know that we are praying for you. We have been married for eight years and have continually watched as God has proven over and over his faithfulness and plan in our lives. He has allowed us to live in several areas of the country, and has given us the sweetest gift of our two boys, Atticus and Waylon. They have been a continual reminder of how the Lord has provided for us. We both are teachers at a private Christian school and we take joy not only in teaching our subject matter but also in the opportunities we have to develop relationships with and mentor our students. Matt is a coach and much of our life revolves around our shared loved for all sports. Thank you for taking the time to look at our family. Our desire is for you to know that God has fearfully and wonderfully made you. We would love to meet with you, and continue a relationship with you, if that is something you desire. We are praying for you!

Aaron and Mary
We are Aaron and Mary, and our kids' names are Lyla and Rex. Aaron is an Assistant Technical Director at our church and has been there since 2006, and Mary is an Assistant Director at a childcare center and she has been there since 2005. Mary was diagnosed at 19 with severe endometriosis and was not expected to easily become pregnant, therefore both Rex and Lyla were miracles as they were both conceived naturally and easily. We are so grateful that God gave us 2 amazing kids before Mary had to have her hysterectomy. Rex is 9 and loves karate, board games, video games, playing outside with friends and reading. Lyla is 6 and loves soccer, soccer, tea parties, babies, and playing outside with friends! We have had a heart for adoption for many years and decided as a family this year to start the process. Lyla and Rex talk often of their future younger sibling and they cannot wait to help care for them, and we pray for our future child and for their birth parents every day. One of our nephews, Gabriel, is adopted and is very excited about having an adopted cousin one day. Gabriel and his adoption story are a big part of what made us fall in love with the idea of adopting ourselves. We know that while it will bring us great joy to bring another child into our family in this way, there will be heartbreak and loss for their birth parents and we hope to keep that connection open so that their birth parent knows how they are doing and growing as the years go on, and so that they can know about where and who they came from as well. We hope that as you look through our profile it will give you a glimpse into our family and how much we love each other, our families, our friends, and our future child.

Billy and Sarah
Hi, we are Billy and Sarah! We met while on a dance team in college back in 2007 and started dating shortly after that. We dated throughout college and were married in 2010. Our family grew quickly after that, with the arrival of a son in 2011, a daughter in 2013, and a second son in 2016. We have always wanted a big family, and adoption has been on our hearts since we started dating. Last summer, we felt like God was calling us to expand our family through adoption. We have prayed long and hard about many things throughout this process- for confirmation, for you, for our future child and for open hearts. Our children hope and pray for the day their new sibling arrives. They cannot wait to snuggle, hold, play with and love on your little one!

Jonathan and Amber
Dear Friend, We are Jon and Amber and we have been married for 6 years. We have two boys, Jonathan (5) and Mason (2) and they are very excited to add a new brother or sister into the family. Our desire for adoption has always been on our hearts and minds. Through the years, God made it clear to us and our family that He was preparing us to welcome and love another child into our home. We have an amazingly diverse group of love and support from our extended family, friends, and church family, and we are excited at how God is going to grow our family moving forward. We believe that the greatest thing we can do as parents is to raise our children to love and know God, teach them how to love their neighbor as themselves, and to give them opportunities to flourish in this life. We want to say thank you for taking the time to read our profile. We are praying for you and are grateful for your courage and undeniable love you have for your child.
