Jordan and Jared

What a powerful and difficult decision you are making to bring a child into this world and consider an adoption plan for him or her. If you're reading this, please know we have prayed for you and will continue to do so. Above all else please know that you are loved, you are not alone, and whether we have the chance to meet you or you're only passing through this profile, you are worthy. We vow to respect you, never think or speak ill of you or anything that may have brought you to this point, and to love you and your child like Jesus does if we get the opportunity.

Danielle and Brett

We are Brett and Danielle! Our story began in December 2016 with a fun line-dancing date! Immediately, we connected over our surprisingly easy conversation, laughing at each other’s jokes, and our shared values. We dated for about 3 years, got engaged, and were husband and wife in October 2019. We currently live in a home in a beautiful neighborhood on Lake Macatawa, within walking distance of a playground, coffee shop, and pickleball courts! We also have a corgi named Coco (3) who brings a lot of joy and energy to our home. Together, we enjoy hosting dinner, traveling, playing games at coffee shops, taking Coco on walks to the beach on Lake Macatawa, and playing pickleball.

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 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

As a couple we are deeply committed to building a loving and stable family. We are dedicated to providing a nurturing and supportive home.

Paul and Melissa

Hello, Thank you for viewing our profile and considering us for your child. 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 enjoy watching movies, eating out, being with family and traveling. We have always wanted to have a big family. 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. 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.

Timothy and Shelly

Hi! Welcome to our family profile page. We're Tim and Shelly, and we've been married for four years now. We met at Shelly's childhood church and Tim's wonderful current place of employment, in the summer of 2019. We were married the following Independence Day in 2020. We enjoy traveling, adventuring, serving together in ministry, being outdoors in the warmer months, gardening and growing things, and working on the final touches of our farmhouse 'fixer.' By the grace of God, we've survived living in a tiny home for almost a year and a half, and completely gutting and building back a farmhouse fixer. Shelly works with special needs kiddos through an intermediate school district in blind mobility. Tim is a Kids Pastor with a heart for missions work. It seems like a long road that has led us to adoption, but we are really grateful to be in a place where we can provide a healthy and loving home to a special little one. We welcome this new journey and can't wait to embrace him or her with open arms.

Tyler and Lauren

It is not easy to compress all of the experiences in our lives and the love we have to give in one short summary, but here is a bit of relevant information about ourselves: we both work in a high school, Tyler as an English teacher and coach and Lauren as a school counselor and leader of cultural exchange trips overseas (previously a world language teacher). We both come from mid-sized, worldly, active, and loving families who are very much personal, positive parts of our daily lives. We have two intelligent, kind, beautiful, energetic, and humorous daughters, and they bring light and life to our lives each and every day: Quinn, our thirteen-year-old, is with us for shared parenting time (our daughter from Tyler’s previous marriage); and Brielle, our five year-old, was welcomed into our family through adoption. As for Lauren’s life journey leading to this letter, she has known since her teenage years that she is medically unable to bear children. Because of that, we have always known that adoption was in our future, and we have embraced that reality. Our goal has been to create a family that has the similarly beautiful energy, love, and sibling relationships that both of us experienced while growing up. We are very fortunate to have a positive relationship with Brielle’s birth family as well, and that only adds to the love that encompasses our family and our children. Overall, we consider ourselves kind, down-to-earth, active, generous, religious, open-minded, and humorous (we think?) individuals. We love to travel, love to learn, and love to experience and immerse ourselves in other cultures. Above all, we love to watch our daughters grow, and we love to nurture and help others. We certainly are incredibly excited to do the same with another beloved child in our lives.

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 10-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. 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!

Aaron and Amanda

Thank you for taking the time to connect with us through our profile; we are very excited to share more about ourselves with you. In the years since our 2000 wedding, we have prayed that we would someday have the amazing opportunity to become parents. Adoption has always been something in our hearts and on our minds even throughout several years of unsuccessful fertility treatments. After seeing the joyous adoption path of others in our church and praying over the decision we are thrilled to be on our own unique journey.
