Dan and Alana
Hi! We're glad you found yourself on our Family Profile. Our names are Dan and Alana. Since our first conversations about our future family - back when we were dating in college - we've always known that adoption would be in the picture. We believe that we were all adopted into God's family when we were in a time of need and we want our family to reflect that model. After getting married and taking some time to grow our relationship with each other, we've found that we are longing to give ourselves to a new family member. We are excited to start our family with and through adoption! We are also excited to get to know a family that would trust us to adopt their child, and look forward to starting a long and lasting relationship built on loving and caring for this little one together. We hope that you will consider whether your child could be a part of our family's story.

Justin and Samantha
Having a family has long been a desire of ours since before we were married. Spending time with nieces and nephews over the years made us truly realize what a joy it is to be around the little ones. Once we felt the time was right, we started to try and have our own child, but we soon realized it was not going to be that simple. After several difficult years of many miscarriages and grief, we felt our hearts pulled towards a different path. Over time, our grief was transformed into determination as we took our first steps towards adoption, a wonderful journey we never thought God would lead us on. In 2022 we were blessed with our first adopted child Liam. He was the greatest gift we could have ever received.

Justin and Jodi
Hello! Thank you for taking time to look at a snapshot of our life. We are so excited to share our lives and love with our child. Our hearts are overflowing and we just can't wait to surround our child with so much love and support. We will do everything possible to make sure your child has the best possible life and provide them with whatever support they need. We are comfortable with you being a part of their life as much as you feel comfortable with. Without you, our dream of becoming a family would not be possible. After years of discussions, leaning on family and friends, research, medical treatments for infertility, and so much more, it has become overwhelmingly obvious adoption is meant to be for our family. We are just overjoyed to see God's plan in adoption begin to work in our lives.

Anila and Patrick
Five Thousand Miles and Closing Salutations! We are Patrick and Anila, and we are truly thankful that you’ve chosen to read a little deeper into us and hear our desire for parenthood. Our story begins in October of 2017 with an online wink. From there it became a test of endurance that we’re both happy to say we passed. Anila lived five thousand miles away in the beautiful country of Albania, which meant our relationship slowly built up over eight months of online discussions. Having a six-hour time difference probably should have made it tricky, but when we would talk after Patrick came home from work—10:00PM for Anila most nights—the real trick was saying goodbye! While visiting Albania that next June, we both realized something special had found us. We fell in love in Albania, and when Anila visited Michigan later that summer, we took a trip to Mackinac Island, where Patrick proposed, and we married in June of 2019. A couple weeks later, we bought our home and have been building our life together since. We had agreed from the beginning that having children was important to us. In fact, the dream of adoption had been on the table from the start, as well. Though we tried for a biological child in the first year, our desire was to one day adopt a child into our family. Having not been able to conceive yet, it made our decision to adopt an easy one. In April of 2023, God blessed us with our first son through adoption. He has brought a tremendous amount of joy to our family through his sweet and vibrant personality. We know he'll make an amazing big brother, and he cannot wait to meet his new little sibling.

Justin and Kathleen
We are a couple whose journey to grow our family hasn’t looked the way we once imagined, but it has led us somewhere even more meaningful. After walking through the challenges of infertility, we discovered that while the path may be different, our dream of becoming parents has only grown stronger. Through every appointment, every hopeful moment, and every hard conversation, one thing has remained constant: our deep desire to love, nurture, and cherish a child with our whole hearts. Adoption is not our second choice, it is a beautiful and intentional calling. It is the way our story is meant to unfold. We have so much love ready to give, a home filled with warmth and laughter, and a life grounded in commitment, stability, and gratitude. The road here has shaped us into more patient, compassionate, and resilient people, and we know those qualities will guide us as parents. We promise a childhood full of bedtime stories, kitchen dance parties, scraped knees kissed better, and traditions that make ordinary days feel special. Most of all, we promise unconditional love that is steady, unwavering, and lifelong. We are ready to welcome a precious child into our arms and into a family where they will always know they were deeply wanted, thoughtfully chosen, and endlessly loved.

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.”

Francesco and Rossella
We are both from Southern Italy, Francesco from Puglia and Rossella from Basilicata. We met during our college years, while Francesco was studying Agriculture and Rossella Chemistry. We started dating and we felt at home with each other. After getting married, we lived for three years in Bari, a city along the Adriatic Coast where many of our friends lived. After our first year of marriage, we discovered that having children would be difficult for us and Francesco asked Rossella: "All this love that we have and want to give where will it finally go?" This deep question became crucial for us. We were both working at the University when Francesco received a job offering from a University in Florida. We decided to move to the USA without imagining what was awaiting us, and a beautiful adventure began. We lived for three years in Florida where Francesco worked as a horticulture research scientist and Rossella as an elementary and middle school Montessori teacher. Then we moved again when Francesco became a professor in Central Pennsylvania and Rossella started working as a secondary school teacher. We are very grateful for these years of marriage in which we had a very rich life and met many friends from all around the world. Among them, we encountered some families that had welcomed children through adoption, and looking at their experience full of love, we started thinking about adopting. Francesco's question, "All this love that we have and want to give where will go in the end?" became a prophecy and a foretelling of our desire to adopt a child.
