David and Silvia
We are Silvia and David. We want to start by telling you how much we deeply respect and admire you as you are considering adoption and choosing to bring your baby into this world. We’ve been trying to have children of our own for the last six years. We've gone through fertility treatments and consulted with a number of doctors but haven’t been successful. We have always been very interested in adoption. In fact, this is something we discussed even before getting married. For this reason, we feel very fortunate that you are checking our website and considering us as an option. We dream about being parents and having children to raise in a loving home! We have so much love to share with any child we're fortunate enough to be able to adopt.

Hannah and Lucas
Dear birthparent(s), Our names are Lucas and Hannah, and we are so excited to be pursuing adoption to grow our family from two to three. There are not enough words to say “thank you” for your selfless, sacrificial love in making an adoption plan for your precious child. We are especially thankful for your consideration in allowing us to be a part of your journey! We have been blessed to be together for ten years now. We met online when we were 18 and quickly bonded over our love for Jesus, family, and all things outdoors. Two and a half years later, we got engaged, and later married on May 9 of 2020. Over the years, our relationship has only strengthened. By God’s grace, we’ve developed strong communication skills and unity, deeper roots in His Word, a wonderful community, and unshakeable joy and peace regardless of our circumstances. One of our dreams has always been to become parents. Before we even met, God placed it on both of our hearts that one day we would adopt. We never knew how or when, but after two years of infertility, it became clear; now is the time! So in 2025 we started the process. It was never a matter of if we would adopt, but when, and God has written this as the next page in our family’s story. We live in a beautiful beach town in West Michigan where we really take advantage of its amenities. Living just a few miles from town means we often walk, bike, or take our electric scooters to the beach, grab ice cream, or hike and play pickleball at one of the many parks near our home. We also have a small fishing boat we enjoy. We can’t wait to add children to these rhythms of our life! In addition to hiking and fishing, I (Lucas) also enjoy hunting and golfing. Hannah spends most of her down time running, reading, beaching, and organizing things around our house. Annual vacations are also something we enjoy, whether it be a restful weekend up north or a week exploring a new state or country. Even better is when these hobbies and vacations include our family and friends. While Hannah has spent the last 5 years working at our church, our goal when we have children is for Hannah to stay home while I (Lucas) continue working as an electrician – a field I’ve worked in for 10+ years and am thriving as an independent contractor. More than anything, we want to raise our children in a loving, God-centered home, and we believe the best way to do this is by being their primary caregivers. Not to mention we are just excited to spend a ton of time with our kids! We also plan to include our incredible support system in the lives of our children. We both have amazing parents, and have five siblings between the two of us (plus 5 in-laws, 1 nephew, and 2 nieces), and are well connected with our church family where we’ve established mentors and many friends who hold us accountable, pray with us in our struggles, and praise God for our wins. No matter what our family looks like or how it comes to be, our greatest goal in life is to glorify God. In all things, we strive to lead lives marked by the fruits of the Spirit: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self control. Our prayer is that our little ones would experience these fruits in their lives, too. Thank you for taking the time to hear some of our story. We are praying for you and hope to get to know you more soon! You are so loved! Sincerely, Lucas & Hannah Jeremiah 29:11 “For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.”

Hi! I'm AJ. This profile will be a window into my life, who I am, and everything in between. I originally started this adoption journey with my wife Rachel. We shared the dream of becoming parents and were excited to grow our family through adoption. Sadly, she passed away from cancer which has been an incredibly difficult loss. Before she passed, we talked a lot about our hopes of becoming parents, and continuing this journey is a way of honoring that dream we shared. While life has taken an unexpected turn, my desire to be a loving and dedicated father has only grown stronger. I'm fortunate to have a close and supportive family and group of friends who are excited to welcome and love a child alongside me.

Hello! 💕👋🏻 If you're reading this, we first want to say thank you. Thank you for taking the time to learn about us during what we can only imagine is an incredibly emotional season of your life. We know that choosing life and an adoptive family is one of the most selfless and courageous decisions a person can make, and we are honored that you are considering us. While we haven't walked the same path you have, we understand what it feels like to carry hopes for a child. After six years of infertility, our hearts have been shaped by waiting, faith, and the deep desire to become parents. Through that journey, we've come to believe that God builds families in many beautiful ways, and we are incredibly grateful to be on this adoption journey. Our greatest promise is simple: your child will always know they are loved. They will grow up in a home where they are celebrated for exactly who they are, encouraged to dream big, supported through life's challenges, and reminded every day that they are deeply cherished. We hope to fill our home with laughter, family traditions, adventures, bedtime stories, hugs, and unconditional love. Our faith is an important part of who we are. It has carried us through seasons of uncertainty and strengthened our hope for the future. We strive to live with kindness, compassion, grace, and gratitude, and we hope to pass those values on to our child. We also want you to know that we will always honor your story. Your child will know how much courage and love it took to make this decision. We believe their adoption story begins with you, and we will speak about you with respect, honesty, and gratitude. We want them to grow up knowing they were loved from the very beginning. You loved them first and we will always honor that. Although we cannot fully understand the emotions you may be experiencing, we want you to know that we are praying for you. We pray for peace in your heart, wisdom in your decisions, and strength for each step ahead. Whatever you choose, we hope you feel surrounded by love and support.

Josh and Jenn
Hello! We are Josh and Jenn and we're looking forward to meeting you! Know that we think of and pray for you almost daily. We know what it is for life to take unexpected directions, for plans to shift, for dreams to be interrupted. Having kids has always been part of our plan and dream, and yet God has not fulfilled that dream in the way we originally expected. But we understand God's design and timing is always better, and we are excited to grow our family through adoption. Our philosophy has always been rooted in creating an environment and home where all are welcomed and loved. Adoption is something we always talked about as part of that philosophy. We’ve built our lives around creating strong community connections, friends as extended family, and an open door to our home for all. For our community, our house is a front porch for chatting, a front yard for badminton, a hill for playing tag, a driveway for sidewalk chalk, a walkway for blowing bubbles, a rock wall for driving toy cars, a garden for kids to help water plants and pick flowers, a living room for ladies book club, a kitchen for sharing delicious meals or baked goods, a back porch for late night conversation. We have “adopted” the families in our community - adults and children alike - our home is their home. This same philosophy is why we have become the gathering spot for our surrounding family. We are excited about the possibility of adding to that family through adoption and creating a space to welcome a child (and eventually, hopefully multiple children!) into our home. That said, we also want you to know that the weight of the decision you are making–the sacrifice–is not lost on us. Our own experience to start a family with infertility has taken us through deep emotions and many tears. Sometimes it’s the hardest moments in life that remind us to trust in all circumstances that God has a plan, through mountains and through valleys. We hope you are part of God’s plan for us, and that we are part of God’s plan for you and your child!
