Bob and Katie
Hello, We recognize that this is a difficult and emotional time in your life and we pray that you have the support that you need to make this difficult decision. Thank you for giving us the opportunity to share a glimpse into our lives to give you a better idea of who we are as a family. Bob is outgoing and charismatic. He has this natural ability to talk to anyone, anywhere and he loves spending time with friends and family. He enjoys golfing, doing yardwork, and Michigan football. He has a goofy sense of humor and is young at heart. He also tutors students at our local elementary school during the school year, which he loves doing. Katie is a shy but an extremely giving person. She is one who always gives to others before thinking about herself. She enjoys swimming, crafting, painting, gardening, reading, and going on family outings. Katie loves animals of all kinds. She has always valued a strong education and has used every opportunity to instill these values in our son, even as toddler. We were blessed with our son Kellan in 2012. We had a difficult time getting pregnant and then had a very challenging pregnancy, but he was our miracle baby and we couldn’t imagine our lives without him. He is timid with new people, but once he comes out of his shell he is talkative and silly. He loves playing games and going to the park. He has a strong bond with his grandparents and he has sleepovers at their house regularly, which is one of his favorite things to do. He has such as good heart and he asks often when he will get to meet the new baby that we hope comes into our lives. We have been married for eleven years, which has included the most wonderful times and very trying times. I, Katie, found out that I had a digestive disorder and I am now fed by IV infusions. You would think that would stop me from enjoying life, but it truly has not. For our 10 year anniversary, we even hiked 8.1 miles to Pictured Rocks in the upper peninsula of Michigan. I can still do everything I did prior to my diagnosis and I believe that it has also given me a different perspective on life in general. I find that I can appreciate everyday beauty more easily and sweat the small stuff less. I, Bob, was fortunate to be able to retire early from my job as a high school math and economics teacher. Having two stay-at-home parents for Kellan has been a bonus of my retirement. Being home allows our family the freedom to do things together like taking vacations, impromptu trips to zoos, hiking nature trails, or even just shopping as a family. These are precious family memories that would have been limited if I were teaching full-time. We have always wanted more children, but unfortunately we are no longer able to conceive naturally. Adoption would give us the opportunity to share the love in our hearts with another child. As parents ourselves, we understand the love and emotions that overwhelm you when you are carrying a child. As you contemplate choosing adoption, we pray that no matter what you decide that you and your child are blessed with love and support in your lives. With love and gratitude, Katie and Bob

Cedric and Kimberly
Welcome to our page…Dr. Cedric and Kimberly. We met at a local college, where we were both on faculty as adjunct instructors. We have had the opportunity to travel extensively, both domestic and international. We have visited Paris, Dubai, Morocco, Denmark, and other countries. Simply put, we have enjoyed life and believe that our travel experience has broadened our perspective about various cultures. This in turn will compel us to raise a child who loves the Lord Jesus Christ, but who is also culturally balanced. We are active members at a Pentecostal church and Kimberly and Cedric both serve in a ministry. Cedric works for the State of Michigan and is on faculty at several colleges. Kimberly is an entrepreneur. She has been invited to speak around the country.

We are so thankful for this chance to introduce ourselves and can't contain the excitement and joy as we look forward to growing our family through adoption! We have the deepest respect for you and the faithful decisions you are making at this time. We are praying for you daily, and though we could never understand the depths of what you are going through, want you to know how truly grateful we are for you. We have always considered adoption for the beautiful way it joins a family together. We have struggled for nearly 4 years of unexplained infertility, but we know that God still has a plan for growing our family. God has been preparing us for adoption and want nothing more than to show your child God's unconditional love. We can't wait to join you in loving your child!

Aaron and Alison
Dear Birthparent(s), Hello! We are extremely grateful that you are taking the time to look at our profile. Both of us understand that the decision you are making is a very difficult one. It takes strength, courage, and a lot of love to consider the path of adoption for your child. We are praying for you and the decision you have ahead of you. Our names are Aaron and Alison and we live in Virginia. We were married in 2007 after meeting in college serving in a local youth ministry. It was the classic country boy meets city girl story. Although from different backgrounds, we both value our faith and our families. After experiencing infertility for 7 years, we were unexpectedly blessed with our son, Elijah. After Eli was born in 2018, we knew right away that our family was not complete. We feel that adoption is a beautiful picture of God's love for us, so we want to pursue this option as we continue to grow our family. We have a lot of love to give and are excited about opening our home and hearts to a little one.
