Garth and Jennifer
Thank you so much for looking through our profile. We are Jennifer and Garth. Our story started in college, where we met but didn't start dating until we connected on social media many years later. At the beginning, Jen was living in New York and Garth in Chicago so we spent our first year dating long distance, traveling every weekend and talking on the phone every night. After a year of dating, Jen moved to Chicago to be with Garth and we were married less then a year later. We spent the first four years of our marriage in Chicago and will always call it our second home, but we now call Michigan our permanent home. Jen is from Michigan and we moved here to be closer to our family. We now spend our free time with our six year old dog Shelby, taking walks, visiting the local lakes, attending concerts or the weekend car show. We have always worked hard, but most importantly spend every chance we get with our close family and friends or just relaxing at home together. We always knew we wanted a big family, but the journey of doing so has not been easy. Over the last several years, we have suffered too many unexplained miscarriages. When you are going through something so terrible, in which very few people understand, all you want to do is blame yourself. However, you realize you never know what God has planned for you and we believe our journey was God telling us we are meant to grow our family in a different way....through adoption. You can never ever give up hope that your dreams will come true one day and to get us through the trying times we absolutely need to rely on the love and support we have in our life. We have learned so much through this journey, about ourselves and about what it truly means to be partners in life. We are stronger because of it! We continue to hope that our dream will come true AND hopefully you find us to be the parents you are looking for. We admire the courage and strength you have shown in considering adoption for your child. We know its the most important decision you will ever make and you need to find the perfect family. Our hope in you reviewing our profile, it will only help you understand our life. We truly believe in our hearts that you will find the perfect family that fits what you are looking for. And, should you choose us, we will love, support and cherish your child and never forget the sacrifices you made in order to provide the best life for your baby.

Sam and Kelly
We're grateful that you have decided to take the time to get to know us and consider us as you make a very significant decision for your baby. We won't pretend to understand what you are going through, all the feelings and decisions you're faced with as you decide what is best for you and your child. But we know it takes great love for your baby and courage to seek out support. So we pray that you are surrounded by a community that is supporting, advising, and providing for you at this time. We are hopeful to become parents, fulfilling a deep heart's desire for both of us! We too come into this process with a lot of emotions. But it's love and courage that also carries us as we hope to grow our family. As we planned our future together, starting a family was at the top of our decisions. We've experienced so much joy being an aunt and uncle and loving our friends' kids, so we felt excited about having a child of our own. Shortly after our wedding, we discovered that having a biological child would require fertility treatments. Instead of going through these treatments, we decided to pursue adoption. We have always believed adoption to be a powerful way to grow a family. We've had family and friends who adopted share how it has made their lives richer. While we grieved not being able to have a biological child, we knew we had so much love to give to a child. Adoption is a way for us to not only love a child but also to be a supportive community to birth parents.

Matthew and Kayla
We want to start by thanking you for taking the time to learn a little about us. We are so excited you are considering us for the amazing privilege of being your baby's parents. Even though we do not know you yet, we have a great amount of respect for you. It is obvious the plan you are considering is being made out of love, courage, and selflessness for you child. We hope by looking at our photos and reading about our lives that you find comfort in knowing how much we want to share our lives with a child. We would be so honored should you choose to give us this incredible gift! We are looking for a semi-open to open adoption if this is something you would feel comfortable with. We would be happy to send you pictures and letters for as long as you may want them as well as phone calls and visits. We are so excited to be parents, and cannot wait to welcome a little bundle of joy into our hearts and our home!

Matthew and Laura
We are so thankful for the opportunity to show you our family. More than anything we want you to know how loved and valued you are. You have been created perfectly. God has an amazing plan and purpose for you and the precious baby that you are carrying. We pray that you would never doubt that you are meaningful and loved, whether you choose our family to parent your child or not, know that we are praying for you. We have been married for eight years and have continually watched as God has proven over and over his faithfulness and plan in our lives. He has allowed us to live in several areas of the country, and has given us the sweetest gift of our two boys, Atticus and Waylon. They have been a continual reminder of how the Lord has provided for us. We both are teachers at a private Christian school and we take joy not only in teaching our subject matter but also in the opportunities we have to develop relationships with and mentor our students. Matt is a coach and much of our life revolves around our shared loved for all sports. Thank you for taking the time to look at our family. Our desire is for you to know that God has fearfully and wonderfully made you. We would love to meet with you, and continue a relationship with you, if that is something you desire. We are praying for you!

Ryan and Madeline
We would like to share with you how much we admire you for the decision you have made to choose life for your child. We consider this decision to be the ultimate act of love that only a mother can give! We know this is an emotional decision for you, but know that we have been praying for you and have prayed for your child longer than we can remember. We trust that God will provide us with everything we need through all of this, and that He is already leading us to each other. Ryan, Hall and I have a wonderful life filled with lots of joy, but we know that our family is not complete. We struggled with infertility for years and are forever grateful for the gift of adoption. We know He is not finished with our family, and we are thankful for the opportunity to adopt again.
