As we sit to write this letter, we are experiencing so many emotions as I am sure you are reading it. First, we would like to acknowledge your courage and strength that you have shown in making a plan for adoption. We are so grateful for your time reading this and learning more about us. While we do not know you or the circumstances that have led you to this decision, we have been praying that God will give you comfort, peace and direction throughout this process. We met when we were children at the church that our families attended. During our childhood and teen years we lived in different countries and then eventually states before reconnecting. Through different circumstances we once again were living in the same state without an ocean or states between us. We started dating and knew after a short period of time that we wanted to spend the rest of our lives together. We have now been married for 6 years. While we were dating, we both expressed a strong desire to start a family. We discussed having biological children and adopting. After many years of not being able to conceive on our own, we felt God was preparing and leading us to move forward with adoption. As we have mentioned that you have been in our prayers, we have also been praying for the child that God has for us. We both already have so much love for this child even though we have never met them. Please know that if the child God has planned for us is yours, they will always know how brave and selfless you were in this decision. We hope this profile gives you an insight into our hearts and lives. May God continue to give you comfort and peace. With love and admiration, Josiah and Ashley

We hope this page helps you get to know a little bit about us. If you choose us to parent your child, we would love to have as much of an open relationship with you and your family as you are comfortable with. Should you choose to place your child with us, we can promise that we will love that child unconditionally, we will read to them every day, and we will teach them that they are loved by God - no matter what. We imagine you have a lot on our mind as you figure out what is best for you and your child, and we hope that you will find clarity and peace as you make a decision. Here's some of our story: We met while attending grad school in Washington DC, and we've been married since 2011. We adopted our daughter, Maxine, in 2020 after experiencing several early miscarriages. We're both close with our parents, and we enjoy spending time with family, including Maxine's bio-family. We are ready to add another child to our family through adoption!

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

Cory and Jessica
Hi! We are Cory and Jessica and it is nice to meet you….via profile We are honored you are looking at our profile. Please know, you are on our hearts we pray for you and your baby daily. We admire and respect you. We are so honored to be considered as a potential adoptive family. We have struggled to have children naturally, and after years of trying and endless doctors appointments we have such peace that adoption is exactly what our family’s journey will be. Cory is originally from northern Michigan and moved downstate after college to pursue his career, Jessica went to college in North Carolina but moved back to Michigan quickly after to be closer to family. We met in 2012 and got married in 2015. We have enjoyed life as the fun Aunt and Uncle, the ones that buy you the candy when Mom and Dad aren’t looking at Disney, the ones that hire you to move our woodchips at our first house so you can buy a new watch, the ones that buy the noisy toys for your birthday, or the ones that cheer for you at a race or game. We are the fun neighbors in the community that always have the freezer stocked of popsicles, the pantry full of snacks, and light up toys for the next summer night hangout. When they say it takes a village, we certainly can say our village is so supportive of our decision about adoption. First our families could not be more excited to welcome a child into our family. The cousins are already making plans to babysit and love on the next family member. The Aunts, are waiting for the call to help shop, and the Grandmas and Grandpas can’t wait to spoil another one. Our friends are itching to have another playmate join the group. Our neighbors check check-in often to see what support they can lend to make our neighborhood safe and welcoming to another child. The littles in the neighborhood have already told us they will keep an eye out for them and be their buddy at school in a few years. We are very excited to be parents through adoption. We are honored for you to review this profile to see exactly what your child’s life could look like and most importantly, how they will be so loved. Thank you for taking the time to learn a little about us, and for your unconditional love for your baby. Thank you for considering giving us the most priceless give we will ever receive- motherhood and fatherhood. Cory and Jessica

Finding peace through open adoption
“Bethany made my adoption journey the best choice for me and those I care for. Three different families have become one because of the love and respect that we share—and I’ve found my place as a birth mom in each one of them.”
- Tamara
"When I was pregnant and pursuing an adoption plan, people told me I needed to ask forgiveness for “abandoning my child.” They wanted me to feel ashamed, but Bethany helped take the sting out of their words by reassuring me I had no reason to feel shame. Now my vision is to keep telling this story so other birth moms know they’re not alone.”
- Gloria
“Ten years ago, I was pregnant for the first time, and I was in jail. Making an adoption plan for my son didn’t mean I loved him any less; I just didn’t want my child to end up in the system. My life circumstances wouldn’t mean a life sentence for him.”
- Tamara
"When I found out I was pregnant with twins at age 18, I didn’t know where to turn. I thought, ‘How am I going to become the mom I want to be?’ Bethany helped provide care for my boys while I found a stable job. Today, my boys are thriving in my home.”
- Brijon
“Today, I am substance-free. I’m married with two biological children and two stepchildren. And I still have thoughts and emotions to process about that difficult time in my life, including my decision to make an adoption plan. That’s an experience most people just don’t understand."
- Gloria
