Hello! Nice to ‘meet’ you. Thank you so much for taking the time to read our profile and get to know us. We are so honored that you are choosing to learn about our family as you consider adoption as an option for your child. We know that this process can be daunting, and while we can’t begin to understand what you are going through, we are inspired and impressed with your strength and courage and with the abounding love you already have for your child. We want you to know that we are here for you and will walk alongside you for as long as you’ll have us, whether your decision is to parent or make an adoption plan. As parents to three kids ourselves, we understand the responsibility to protect and prioritize our children, just like you are doing now as you consider your path forward. We are a hopeful adoptive family because we know that we can provide a home where a child can feel loved, safe, and happy, but also find meaning in living for Jesus and in loving and serving others from all walks of life. We want to extend a place within our family through open adoption, not only to your child, but also to you as an essential part of your child’s life. We believe that we can best protect and prioritize an adopted child by maintaining a link to birth family and culture as much as possible while raising them. We are open to adopting a child (or twins) of any race or ethnicity up to four years old. Please know that as you continue your journey, we are praying for you and asking God to give you strength, peace, and comfort. We sincerely hope that our love for you and the new life you created will shine through in this book. With great love and appreciation, Mike + Emily

Hello from our family! We want to thank you for taking the time to get to know us. We can not imagine what you are going through, but we know that without you and your sacrifice, we wouldn't be able to grow our family. We have yet to meet, but we admire your bravery in deciding to give birth to your child and make an adoption plan. We pray God guides, comforts, and strengthens you. We have always wanted children, and were waiting for the right time to start our family. When that time finally came, we where so excited, but our excitement came to an end after we had a miscarriage. Our dream to be loving parents continued, and we felt God steering us to adoption. After much prayer, we were so excited to start the adoption process. We respect the difficult decision you are making, and hope if adoption is the best decision for you, you will trust us to love and raise your child. Regardless of your decision, you and your family, will always be in our prayers.

John and Meg
Adoption has always been the way we envisioned building a family together. We’ve shared our hopes with our families, imagined the call from a social worker, and thought about meeting our child for the first time. We’ve asked questions of friends who were adopted or have adopted, and enjoyed learning more about adoption through our training classes. And we realized that birth parents, or a birth family, are an important part of our story, too. As we pray and dream for our future, this moment-- whatever caught your eye in our profile -- is part of our hope. As you scroll through, we hope you can imagine your baby growing up with us. We are eager to share the compassionate and courageous life we’ve built with a child. We believe that loving our child means showing respect for his or her first family, sharing the details of their adoption with age-appropriate honesty, joy, and kindness. We will tell our child about their brave parents, and he or she will grow up knowing how much you love them.

Hello! So nice to meet you. We have never been in your shoes, but we imagine this is a very difficult time for you. We greatly admire the love, strength, and courage you have to consider adoption for your child and yourself. We are praying for you and the decision you have ahead of you. We know you want a warm, supportive, and loving home for your child. To provide these things for another child is our greatest dream. Our daughter, Louise, joined us through an open adoption in February 2020. She is an incredible blessing and a great joy in our lives. We would love to welcome a second child through adoption and share our warm and affectionate home. We are so excited about the possibility of watching another child grow into an intelligent, loving, and confident human being. Through adoption, Louise and your child will have a unique connection and a common history. We have seen the beauty of adoption in our own lives, and we have an incredible relationship with Louise's birthparents. We are open to many adoption situations, but we are most interested in an open adoption where a child can have a connection to their biological family. Our preferred adoption situation would include emails, letters, and visits over the years. We would like for a little one to know the special people who brought them into the world and for those people to be part of the child's life. In talking with a little one, we will always acknowledge the love and strength that went into your decision to choose adoption, and you will always be talked about openly, honestly, and positively. In this way, the child will know how much they are loved by you and by us. We look forward to hearing about your dreams for your child and what you are looking for in adoptive parents. We would be honored if you considered us for your child. With gratitude, Jesse & Kimberly

Dear expectant parents, Thank you for taking the time to get to know us better through this profile. We can’t imagine the difficult decisions you have made to get to this point. We are so grateful that you are considering adoption. Adoption has been in our hearts for a while. We have spent time going to doctors to try and find out why we couldn’t conceive. When God closed that door, He opened wide the door for adoption. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for giving couples like us the opportunity to have a family that we have been praying for. We hope this book will give you a view into our lives to see if we might be a good fit for you and your precious child. Our promise: We promise to love your child unconditionally. We will raise him/her with the Christian values, respect and compassion that we were raised with. Your child will grow up knowing how much you love them and the amazing sacrifice that you made. We promise to raise your child to know the immense love that God has for them. Thank you for taking the time to get to know us. May God bless and direct you through the decisions that you are having to make.

Aaron and Mary
We are Aaron and Mary, and our kids' names are Lyla and Rex. Aaron is an Assistant Technical Director at our church and has been there since 2006, and Mary is an Assistant Director at a childcare center and she has been there since 2005. Mary was diagnosed at 19 with severe endometriosis and was not expected to easily become pregnant, therefore both Rex and Lyla were miracles as they were both conceived naturally and easily. We are so grateful that God gave us 2 amazing kids before Mary had to have her hysterectomy. Rex is 9 and loves karate, board games, video games, playing outside with friends and reading. Lyla is 6 and loves soccer, soccer, tea parties, babies, and playing outside with friends! We have had a heart for adoption for many years and decided as a family this year to start the process. Lyla and Rex talk often of their future younger sibling and they cannot wait to help care for them, and we pray for our future child and for their birth parents every day. One of our nephews, Gabriel, is adopted and is very excited about having an adopted cousin one day. Gabriel and his adoption story are a big part of what made us fall in love with the idea of adopting ourselves. We know that while it will bring us great joy to bring another child into our family in this way, there will be heartbreak and loss for their birth parents and we hope to keep that connection open so that their birth parent knows how they are doing and growing as the years go on, and so that they can know about where and who they came from as well. We hope that as you look through our profile it will give you a glimpse into our family and how much we love each other, our families, our friends, and our future child.

Robert and I have been married for 11 years and have had the privilege of traveling all over the world. Robert is an active duty Marine and I am a graphic designer and photographer. We have two sons, Jack and Bennett. We love to travel and have adventures. We are an active family and love to be outside, have fun and laugh...A LOT! Our home is a house of joy. There's lots of play time and there's always a little superhero running around protecting us.
