Jenn
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

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

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.

Hi. My name is Jamie, and my son's name is Gabriel. The only words I can think of are Thank you. I feel love for you and will pray for you always. You are a Brave person to place your child for Adoption, possibly. The decision you are going to make is not easy. I am looking to share my love, life, family, and everything else with a child who will be joining our family and friends. I have a one-year-old son whom I was able to adopt, and would like to have one more child to complete our family. I have a huge support system behind me that is encouraging me. I am a single parent, but I have a wealth of love, kindness, and patience to share. I want to share my blessings and adventures with another child along with Gabriel and me. I will encourage them to be the "more" that they could be, have, and enjoy. May God guide you in your decision, give you the strength and grace throughout the process, and comfort you in your future steps.

Autumn and Zane
Hello and thank you for taking the time to look at our profile. We hope our personalities shine through and give you a glimpse into our life! We met in November of 2016 and quickly discovered that while our personalities might be opposites, we shared a deep connection on the things that truly matter—our faith, morals, and views of the world. Zane is quiet, calm, and a self-proclaimed nerd, while Autumn is talkative and outgoing. We’ve found that our differences perfectly balance us, keeping our lives fun and exciting! We got engaged on our one-year anniversary in November 2017 and were married on October 6, 2018. Our Life Together Our greatest joy is found in experiencing life together. We love to travel and explore new places, but we also cherish our time at home. You can often find us tackling home projects, whether it’s gardening or remodeling a room. Creating a peaceful and cozy environment in our home brings us so much happiness. We also love friendly competition with games, enjoy listening to music (even with our different tastes!), and were both self-taught on the guitar and drums. Weekends often involve getting creative with crafts like painting or making candles. We truly enjoy trying new things and sharing experiences, always learning and growing together.

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
