Are you facing an unplanned pregnancy?

Josh and Nicala

Hello! We are Josh and Nicala. We first connected in 2017 thanks to some mutual friends and the magic of the internet! Fast forward to February 2020, just before the world went full-on upside-down, we got engaged. And by January 2021, we said I do and officially kicked off our forever adventure. Our little family includes two adorable fur-babies: Colt, our treat-loving yellow lab who never runs out of energy, and Mavis, our sassy (but sweet) domestic shorthair cat who thinks she runs the house. We are lovers of the great outdoors and cozy nights in. Whether we're hiking a trail, planning our next adventure, or binging the latest Netflix show, we're all about finding joy in the big moments and the little ones. We are big fans of summer sunshine, breakfast foods, game nights, and time well spent with friends and family. If it involves fun, food, or a bit of adventure, we're in!

Our hearts are full of admiration for the loving decision you are hoping to make for your child. We want you to know that we are praying for you. We pray you feel God's guidance, presence and peace throughout this journey. May you find comfort in knowing that no decision we make can change the plans God ultimately already has for each of us and the ones we love. We want you to know that if you decide to move forward with making an adoption plan, this is not the end but only the beginning of a lifelong journey. You are loved and God has incredible plans for you. If we are a part of that plan, we are SO excited to meet you! No matter the decision you choose know that you are being held up in prayer to a God who loves you so much!

Daniel and Zoe

We want to thank you for taking the time to get to know us. First, we hope you are doing well during your pregnancy. We can’t begin to imagine how hard and overwhelming this decision is for you. We’re sending you the biggest hug right now. We hope that no matter what you decide, that you are surrounded by love, compassion and support. We would count it a privilege to get to know you, and are praying for you and your child as you sacrificially and courageously care for them in this way. We understand that this is a very difficult time, and we totally understand the wide range of emotions that the adoption process makes birth families feel. We have learned that once you connect, start to talk and get to know each other it gets a bit easier and the process starts to become more real and less scary.

Brendan and Petrea

Hello! We have been praying for you for a long time. Though we don't know you yet, a love for you continues to grow in our hearts. We know that you have been walking a long and painful road. Adoption is a selfless decision, and we honor you for considering it. This is a difficult journey and we want to walk beside you. Adoption has always been in our heart. Even when we were dating, we would discuss it. Little did we know, God would be leading us in this direction in a very clear way. In January, 2017, God saved Petrea's life. In order to save her life, however, she lost the ability to have children. We know the Lord spared her life for a reason and we want to continue making a difference in people lives, especially children's lives. We want to provide your child with a loving godly home to grow up in. We also want you to know that we are here for you. No one is going to understand your journey completely but God. He is the one who walks beside you and carries you when the road is too difficult for you. He has blessed you with this child. This child is a gift and you are choosing to give this most precious gift to a loving family. We honor you for that! God be with you, Brendan and Petrea

Matthew and Jamie

Hello! As you are reading this, please know that we cannot imagine what you are going through right now. We have been praying for you and will continue to pray for you as we have committed to pray for anyone who may be reviewing our profile. We are thankful for you and your braveness in considering adoption as the loving path to take. As you go through your decision process, we hope that you will consider us to love your child unconditionally. We will raise your child in a loving and Godly home and he/she will know the huge sacrifice you made for them, and how much you love them.

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.”

Joshua and Chelsea

We have been together for six years, married for five. We are so excited to share our love with a little one, and with Josh himself being adopted, this just seemed like the natural path for us to take to grow our family together.

Cameron and Carrie

We are an adventurous, loving family that chooses to live with intention, forgive freely, and encourage one another to dream big about the future. We believe time together is the greatest investment we can make in the present, and we find our deepest joy in being each other's comfort and safe place.

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!

Tim and Jess

Hello, and thank you for taking the time to learn about us and our family. We are so grateful for your openness to consider us as a possible future for your child. Adoption has been on our hearts since our early marriage, and we are praying to grow our family after struggling with infertility. We live in a suburb of Southeastern Michigan with our daughter and 2 dogs, Elwood and Mira. They are wonderful companions for our daughter, but she is praying to be a big sister soon. We live in a safe, small community with the best neighbors and a park right next door! The schools are within walking distance and we have a library we love to visit close by. We have a backyard with a swing set and a garden that we try to grow new vegetables in each year. We attend church regularly and try to stay involved with events and volunteer opportunities there. Our church has a strong focus on service and the local community, and that is what we love about it! We enjoy going for walks, riding our bikes, fishing, family game nights, cooking together, and family movie nights snuggled up on the couch. Visits to see our extended family are a regular weekly activity for us, as we love for our daughter to spend time and play with her cousins and see her grandparents. A child growing up in our home would always know that they are heard, important, safe, and cared for. They will join our current family of 3 for nightly bedtime stories, cousin's birthday parties, and picnics at the park by our house. We look forward to creating arts and crafts with them and discovering new recipes in the kitchen! Please know that if you choose to place your child in our home, we will strive to love them deeply for exactly who they are, and to develop all the beautiful parts of their personality and spirit.
