Paul and Melissa

Hello, Thank you for viewing our profile and considering us. We are Paul and Melissa and we live in Southeast Michigan. We have been married for 16 years. We met in high school at a basketball game and continued dating through college. We got married and bought our first home in 2005. We enjoyed activities such as, traveling, playing a co-ed softball and on a bowling league. We have always wanted kids. We welcomed our first daughter Samantha in 2012. She was the first grandchild on both sides of our families. We wanted another child and after experiencing infertility issues, we decided to explore adoption. Paul and his sister are both adopted and it opened up the conversation about what that journey looks like. We were excited and blessed to have Daniella become apart of our family through infant adoption in 2019. Both girls are absolutely wonderful and bring us so much happiness. They are each other's biggest fans and are excited to welcome another sibling. We wanted to expand our family through adoption again and prayed about this over the last year. We want to thank you for considering Adoption as a path for your child. We believe God will guide your heart to the best decision for you and for your child.

Mark and BethAnn

Hi! Thank you for allowing us to share with you from our hearts. Your willingness to consider adoption is a beautiful expression of your sacrificial love for your baby. We can't even imagine what a difficult time this must be for you now, but we admire your strength and bravery. You are making a life-changing decision and we pray that God will direct you to the right family for your baby and give you peace for this journey.

Jim and Shana

Hello, we are Jimmy and Shana and thank you for stopping by to read our profile! We are very excited to meet you even through this letter. We want you to know that we respect all your decisions that you make and support you without even knowing you. It takes a village to raise a child and we are all living in this village together! We hope that learning about us puts you at ease that perhaps your child will have a wonderful village to raise them with you alongside. We understand that this is a difficult decision but perhaps knowing more about us will ease you just a little bit in such a difficult decision. We hope that you will continue to read on to learn about us.

Jayme and Beth

We are super excited as we are beginning this amazing adventure into parenthood. We have seen through the eyes of Beth’s sister and aunt as well as Jayme's older sister and brother how wonderful it can be to bring an adoptive child into our family, as both families have adopted children. We are praying that as we look for a child to love and you look for a couple to provide a loving and wonderful home for your child, we will be a blessing to each other. Jayme and Beth met online through the Christian Mingle website. Beth’s youngest sister decided that Beth was ready to meet people and signed her up. Jayme saw Beth’s profile and wanted to get to know her. Our first face-to-face meeting was at Faywick Park in Sioux Falls at the Saturday night movies in the park. From there we discovered we both loved to be a part of family, so we often hung out at one of Beth’s siblings’ homes or attended the Saturday night movies at the park. The other thing we found we had in common was a love for Jesus. Jayme would come and pick me up on Sunday mornings and we would attend church together. After 3 years of dating, Jayme and Beth were married. We have been married for four years.

Daniel and Jane

We are so excited to share our family profile with you! God has blessed us with a ton of joy and love. We want to extend that outward. Adopting is something we have wanted to do for a while, even before we had Micah and Molly. We see adoption as a way to share God's great love with others and to be a real help where it is needed. We are thrilled at the prospect of welcoming another child into our home, as well as extending welcome and love to you, the birth parents! We aren't perfect, but we are willing. By God's grace, we have a lot of love to share. So we invite you to look through this profile and see whether we fit your desires for your little one. We hope that you can see a family that truly enjoys one another, laughs together, and loves each other. If you were to take a peek inside our house on a typical day you would probably find what we like to call "joyful chaos." When Micah and Molly wake up, the play begins and doesn't stop until bedtime. Typically Dan sticks around through breakfast and then heads off to work. The kids play all over the house while Jane attempts some chores. We read a lot together, play a lot of pretend, do art projects, play outside and build things. On school days, Dan plays with Molly while Jane teaches Micah and another student. Afternoons are a little more quiet since Molly sleeps and Micah has a quiet time. Dan comes home around dinner time. As soon as the kids hear the garage door they race to hide. Dan's first task upon walking in the door is to find them (usually they're giggling under a blanket). Dinner is noisy and messy and fun. We always ask each other what our favorite part of the day was, and it's fun to hear each others responses. After dinner we have our bedtime routine which includes reading the Bible, singing, and dancing. Once the kids are in bed Dan and Jane can relax and catch up. Our days are crazy but we wouldn't trade it for anything! Church life is also extremely important to us. Our church is our spiritual family. Gathering weekly with them to learn from God's word is a big priority. Our goal is to be a home that loves Jesus and helps others know how wonderful he is, and how precious his church is. We want our kids to know and love Jesus. And we spend a lot of time helping teenagers learn about and love Jesus.

Jordan and Jennifer

We are so grateful that you are taking the time to read our profile and learn more about us. Before we introduce ourselves, we want to say thank you for loving your child so much and having the selfless courage to consider an adoption plan for your baby. We are amazed at your bravery and we hope to have the opportunity to tell you all of this in person at some point in the future as well!

Mike and Nina

Hello, we are Mike and Nina. We have a 3-year-old son, Mikey, and 2 cats, Isaac and Emmy. Since early on in our dating relationship, we knew that we were looking to start a family. We might have started talking about how many kids we wanted before we even discussed when we would get married. We have been together for 12 years. God brought us together at the right time in our lives and has always graced us with blessings when we were ready. Despite always wanting to start a family, we had to wait until Nina was done with school and start her career before trying to conceive. Little did we know that we would have to wait an additional year, due to us struggling to conceive. This became one of the hardest years of our lives. We knew we wanted a family. We knew were ready for it. What we didn’t know is that God had a plan for us and we had to patiently wait for our child. Once we finally conceived, we were overjoyed. It was one of the happiest moments of our lives being superseded only by the first time we saw little Mikey. We are absolutely elated at the idea of seeing our next child for the first time. Our hearts are open to a new child and (if you choose and are comfortable) to an extended family. As much as we try to be patient, we are eager to welcome another child into our family. We know our calling is to be parents. We know that God has put us on this path to have another child. Our arms, our home and our hearts are open and waiting for God to bring that newest little bundle to us.

Graham and Carrie

Thank you for taking the time to view our profile. We know how much love you have for your baby to come to this difficult decision. We admire your courage in considering an open adoption plan. We've always wanted to become parents, but we've struggled with infertility. This has been extremely hard for us as we have always loved kids and longed to have a family. From the moment we talked about having a family, we always wanted to adopt. We look forward to fulfilling our dream of having an open adoption. We don't know your name yet, but we continue to pray for you and your child that God continues to give you the strength and courage for whatever decision you make.

Colin and Wendy

We love each other and the idea of building our family. Unable to have children of our own due to unexplained infertility, we were surprised to hear of being pregnant. God had other plans and our baby miscarried. We feel we are to redirect our focus on adoption and look forward to meeting the little one that He wants to place in our lives. Colin is a loyal family member, friend, and colleague. He is well respected in our community and at work. Colin is "all boy". He loves to watch football, baseball, hockey, and lacrosse. He enjoys playing ice hockey, skiing, snowboarding, tennis and riding bikes. Colin enjoys our sweet neighbors and their children. We have eight children on our block! Many run up to greet him when he comes home from work. Colin is kind hearted, gentle, slow to anger and sweet spirited by nature. Colin is an outstanding husband and would make an incredible dad. Wendy loves to dream big and sets lofty goals for herself. She has accomplished her goals and loves to set new ones on a regular basis. She works hard and encourages others around her raise the bar for themselves. Wendy has such a loyal and kind heart. She is such a blessing to our friends and families. She loves to travel and she has seen the world. Wendy is a good steward of our resources, gifts, has such a light heart and loves to laugh. She laughs with me, at me, and for me. This has been such a blessing to our marriage. She is an outstanding wife that displays love to me and will embody that same love to a child.

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

Jeff and Jeanna

Hello, Thank you for taking the time to read our profile and get to know all of us as a family. We hope you get a feel for our family and find what you are looking for. Please know that our hearts go out to you and your baby. This is a brave and difficult decision. We pray for peace and clarity while you make a plan for your child. We have open hearts for this process and are excited to see what God has in store for all of us. With love, The Watsons

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!
