Calvin and Carol
It is a pleasure to introduce ourselves to you! We are so thrilled to embark on our fourth adoption journey! We are a family with three adopted children and two dogs. Our home is happy, bustling with activity, and full of love. We love spending time together and laughing as a family. Some of our favorite things to do together are travelling, going for walks, reading, and spending time outdoors. We hope this gives you a glimpse of what we are like. We don't pretend to understand what a significant decision this is for you. We admire your bravery and strength, and we are praying for your peace and wisdom as you begin this journey. We enjoy an ongoing relationship with the birth moms and birth dads of our daughter and youngest son, and our older son has a closed adoption. We respect whatever openness choice you make. We have always loved children, and adoption has been on our hearts for a long time. We found out that we were unable to have biological children, and through this process, God has been faithful to us. He has shown us that He has plans for our lives and our family that are better than we could imagine. We are very excited to welcome another child into our home through adoption, knowing that all children are beautiful blessings from above.

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.

Jess and Joey
Thank you so much for viewing our family profile. We are an extremely blessed couple who recently celebrated our ten-year anniversary. After Joey graduated medical school through the Army, we married and moved to Texas and Washington State for his military commitments, but we are now back in Michigan surrounded by a huge family. Our best life change was starting our own little family, and Henry, age four, is the greatest thing to ever happen to us. The best thing we could ever give him is a sibling. He loves his "stuffies" but can't wait to teach a baby brother or sister all about construction vehicles, baking, books, and counting! We started researching the adoption process years ago even before our miracle of a son was born. We are at the best time in our lives to welcome yet another miracle. We believe that there is a higher power who guides where each child who enters this world belongs, and we are ready to welcome this most precious gift.

We’re Rob and Eileen — a loving, grounded couple who believe in kindness, laughter, and building a life full of purpose and connection. Thank you for taking the time to learn more about us. We know this journey takes strength, and we deeply respect the love behind your decision. Adoption is close to our hearts in a very personal way — Rob is adopted, and it's shaped him into the caring, empathetic person he is today. That experience gives us a special understanding and deep appreciation for the lifelong bond that adoption creates. Together, we’ve built a home filled with warmth, humor, and unwavering support. We're best friends, partners in every sense, and ready to open our hearts and lives to a child. We look forward to offering a life filled with love, laughter, and endless encouragement.

Dear Friend, Let me begin by saying how humbled I am that you are taking the time to look through my profile. The amount of love, courage, and bravery it takes to walk the path you are choosing is found in very few people. I am praying for you and your child, that you would have wisdom, peace, and confidence in the decisions you are making. While adoption may not be what most people see for their future, it has always been the way I hoped to have a family one day. It would be such a privilege to be able to love and raise a child as my own. They will always know their story and how much you love them. I will always speak highly of you and will always do what is in their best interest. I will always point your child toward Jesus and walk with them as they develop a relationship with Him. This will be through everyday life at home, going to church on Sundays, attending church activities throughout the year, attending a Christian school, living in a community that values faith, and being around family and friends that have the same beliefs and values as I do. In my home your child will come to know 3 things. First, we love Jesus. Second, we are kind. Third, we have fun! Love, Jenn

Ashley and Jake
Hello! Let us introduce ourselves; we are Jake and Ashley. We met online in 2012 and quickly realized that we were meant to be together. After dating for a few months, we became engaged and married later that year. In December we’ll celebrate our 11-year anniversary! We always knew we wanted children, but the Lord had different plans for our family. During our infertility journey, we felt called to became foster parents, and opened our license in 2021. We’ve been blessed to care for and walk alongside 3 littles and their families, and while it has had its challenges, we wouldn’t trade it for the world. We love watching children grow, learn and live their lives to the fullest, and hope and pray to be able to experience these things with our own children one day. In September the Lord answered many prayers and we were able to adopt our long-term foster son Ace, and make him an official member of our family! He is sweet, fun, wild (in the best ways), and has been a tremendous blessing to us. He loves babies and other children and we cannot wait to grant his wish for a sibling one day. We love spending time with family and friends, having birthday parties, family dinners, vacations, celebrating all the holidays and creating new traditions. The Christmas season is our absolute favorite, and we love the childlike magic in the air that time of year. A lot of our time is spent outside in the backyard or garden, and we love to explore zoos, parks, farms, and aquariums. It is our dream to raise a child to know the true meaning of family, unconditional love, pure joy, absolute safety, and the Lord’s grace. We are humbled and truly honored that you are taking the time to look at our profile and learn a bit about our family. We pray that you find comfort and peace not only in all upcoming decisions but throughout your life as well. We look forward to walking alongside you during this journey and can't wait to meet you! Thank you for your time and consideration. God Bless!
