Bob and Andrea
We met in New Mexico at a summer job. We dated long distance for a year and then Bob moved to be closer to Andrea. We celebrated 20 years together this June and our 15 year wedding anniversary is in October. We love adventure and simple times spent with family, friends and our dogs. Our life together has been full of fun, hard work and some trying times, but we always come together and cherish what is most important to both of us; living this life with gratitude, integrity and laughter. We keep learning new ways to encourage each other, communicate and grow as individuals. Life is ever changing and we both want to live this life in the best way possible. Although we have taken a bit longer to have children we both know we are ready and we are the people we want to be so we know we can give our best selves to our children.

David and Amanda
We are Dave and Amanda (and David Jr. and Grant!). We are a family defined by silliness and love, and we would love to tell you our story and to one day hear yours. Adoption has been something we have always had a heart for. One day when our oldest son was a baby, Amanda was rocking him at night and out of nowhere started praying for a little girl - though she hadn't been born yet - and the girl's parents, wherever they were. God had planted the idea of adoption in us before then, but that was the night it came to fruition and we knew He was going to add a baby girl to our family that way. Amanda herself was an unexpected baby. So was her older brother. Parenting is hard, and it takes tremendous bravery to reach out for support and options. We don't know what circumstances have led you here, to be looking at profiles and wondering what you're going to do. But we know God is really good at providing hope. You are where this baby's story starts. And we would be honored at having her story continue with us.

Brandon and Christena
Dear Expectant Parent(s), Thank you for taking the time to look at our profile and for your bravery! We are not sure where to begin, but we will do our best. First things first, our names are Brandon and Christena, but Christena usually goes by her nickname Tena. Brandon works as a quality assurance specialist, where he enjoys details and interpersonal relationships. Tena serves as the secretary at our church, takes online graduate classes, and is a stay-at-home mom. She loves learning, teaching, and going on adventures. We both currently serve in the Air Force part-time, where Brandon is in strategy and Tena is in operations. We serve 4 days a month every other month. We love the outdoors, hiking, fishing, camping, and gardening. We also really like watching TV series, cooking, and playing cribbage. We have a fireplace in our living room and Tena can be caught reading by it often. Brandon on the other hand prefers to work with his hands and can be caught building, playing the drums, or tinkering with something. We love to travel and immersing ourselves into a new and different culture. We love God, our family, and our friends. We are lucky to be surrounded by loving, caring, and supportive people in our community. We were married in 2010, and consider each other to be our best friend. As cliché as that sounds, we really love our marriage. We met in 2008 and chose to rely on God and put Him first in our relationship. In this way, we have learned so much about how to love and who God is. We always dreamed of having children and after many failed fertility treatments, we found out we were unable to have children. Prayerfully, we considered how we could grow our family. We began looking into adoption and in 2018, we were blessed to grow our family through open-adoption. We brought home our daughter, Aurora, and we are so incredibly blessed to be her parents. We are looking forward to completing our family through adoption once again. We both have siblings and enjoy that special lifelong bond and we hope our children will too. The hardest part of writing this letter, is that it is one sided. We do want to tell you what we intend on doing and where our hearts are. We can’t promise that we will never disagree, but we can promise that we will always put our children’s needs before our own. We promise to love, respect, and care for any child that is brought into our home. We promise to be open-minded, open-hearted and to keep the door open for healthy relationships with his/her birth family. We promise to encourage and support our children in whatever they are passionate about. We look forward to making this one-sided conversation a two-way one. Thank you for taking the time to learn about us and for your bravery. In case we don’t meet, we hope the best for you and your future. If you decide you’d like to meet us, we look forward to that as well! We have so much love in our hearts and we love all the joy and challenges that parenthood has to offer. We dream of juggling field trips, going to events, and ultimately raising well-rounded, happy children. Sincerely, Brandon and Tena

Tim and Linsey
Dear expectant parent, Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for taking the time to get to know us. We do not yet know you but the fact that you’re reading this gives us so much hope. We do not know what series of events have caused our paths to meet in this way but one thing we know with certainty is that there is One who does. We know what a difficult decision this is. Our deepest prayer is that the love of Christ would comfort and guide you during this time of waiting and choosing; that you would feel His unwavering compassion in your grief. You are so brave. We hope you feel loved and supported no matter where you’re at on your courageous journey. Words cannot express how much we respect you for choosing life and considering adoption for your precious baby. To us, family includes those you love unconditionally and those we “do life” with. We know without a doubt that God has a plan for our family; if you and your baby become a part of that plan, we want you to know that you are loved and that we are so excited to meet you. We promise to cherish, adore and love this child fiercely, just as we do our biological daughter. We will provide a stable, happy, full of laughter, and caring home that seeks to love each other and serve the Lord above all else. While we may not yet know who you are, please know that you and your baby are prayed for every day. We do pray that God would give you peace in whatever decision you make for your baby’s precious life. With love, Tim and Linsey

Beau and Carmel
Hello! We long for this note to communicate our hope for you and to tell you who we are. We are trusting God to provide for you (and for us) as we navigate this journey. We don't know what has brought you to this moment but we pray that hope fills you as you consider this decision. We pray you experience a profound peace which fills you up and enables you to keep on going. Beau is 47 years old and Carmel is 40 years old. We've been married for 19 years. Since before we were married, we always hoped we would adopt. Five years ago, we adopted our first child, Harvest, through an open adoption. We had longed for children for many years and, after a final operation, pregnancy was no longer an option. So when Harvest and his birth mother and birth father entered our lives, it felt like the drought ended--the famine was over--the Harvest was here! His birth parents felt the same way, so we collaborated on his name as we do in his life. Our family of two grew when Harvest arrived by not just one baby, but by a whole slew of birth aunts and birth uncles and bio-siblings and biological relatives. We have loved every second of it. We consider it the greatest honor to tell Harvest all about his birth family and to meet with them as often as we have all committed. We vowed we would celebrate, nurture, and cherish Harvest and his relationship with his biological family to the best of our ability. Our promise is to love our future child and birth family, too. Beau is the Lead Pastor of our church and Carmel stays busy volunteering there, too. Together, we raise Harvest with so much gratitude. Our plan is for Carmel to continue to stay home to care for our children. We have a large and vibrant community around us, and we usually have a house full of people. We are so excited to see how our life changes and stays the same after another child. We are trusting God to grow us as we daily seek to be loving and thoughtful parents. God has always provided for us and we believe God will provide for you, too. May God shine His face upon you and give you peace! -Beau and Carmel

Kevin and Liz
Though we have biological children, we’ve always wanted to adopt. On our first date, we agreed that adoption was an extension of God’s love that we each felt led to pursue whether we were blessed with biological children or not. We have both always had a heart for children and can't wait to welcome another little one/ones into our family!

Jonathan and Amber
Dear Friend, We are Jon and Amber and we have been married for 6 years. We have two boys, Jonathan (5) and Mason (2) and they are very excited to add a new brother or sister into the family. Our desire for adoption has always been on our hearts and minds. Through the years, God made it clear to us and our family that He was preparing us to welcome and love another child into our home. We have an amazingly diverse group of love and support from our extended family, friends, and church family, and we are excited at how God is going to grow our family moving forward. We believe that the greatest thing we can do as parents is to raise our children to love and know God, teach them how to love their neighbor as themselves, and to give them opportunities to flourish in this life. We want to say thank you for taking the time to read our profile. We are praying for you and are grateful for your courage and undeniable love you have for your child.
