How do I give my baby up for adoption?

Garth and Jennifer

Hello! We are Jennifer and Garth. Thank you for taking time to look through our profile. We can't imagine what you are going through as you consider an adoption plan for your baby. We realize this will be one of the most difficult decisions and our hope in reviewing our profile page it will help you understand our life as a family and us as parents. We always knew we wanted a big family and the journey of doing so hasn't been easy. However, we realized God's plan is always working and you have to continue having faith and hope. That faith and hope brought us to welcome our daughter into our family through adoption, which has been the biggest blessing in our lives so far. We hope to continue growing our family through adoption and to show our children support, encouragement, celebrations of milestones and achievements, encouragement with smiles, hugs and laughter, encouragement for them to be their true selves, the ability to build their confidence and most of all LOVE.

Tiffany and Brennen

Dear friend, Thank you so much for taking the time to look at this snapshot of our family. You probably have so many thoughts and fears running through your head in this moment, and we’re likely just one family out of many that you will consider entrusting with your precious child. Who are we, and what kind of home would we hope to give your child? Our names are Brennen and Tiffany. We are high school sweethearts who have been married for almost nine years now. We have a lovable dog named Winchester and a hyperactive cat named Luna. Ever since high school we have wanted to adopt, and after struggles with miscarriages and infertility we have decided that now is the time to pursue that dream. This is our dream and promise to you: We will provide your child with unconditional love, we will cultivate a home for them filled with joy and wonder, we will display to them the beauty of Christ, we will support them through every triumph and disappointment, we will protect and sacrifice for them, we will honor you and your child’s story, and we will strive with every ounces of our being to give them a family where they never have to doubt that they are fully seen, fully known, and fully loved. What you are doing is one of the hardest, most loving, and selflessly sacrificial things anyone can do. We cannot even begin to express the admiration we have for you. You are a bona fide hero. We are praying for you even now, and if you entrust your child to us, we promise that we will honor that decision for the rest of our lives. You’ll learn more about us thoughout this book, but above all we hope you remember this promise to you.

We deeply admire your decision to turn to adoption for you and your child, and we recognize how overwhelming this experience may be for you. Whether you choose us or another family to parent your child, you are granting a family a priceless and cherished gift, and we are grateful for your kindness, generosity, and selflessness. As you read more about our personalities, beliefs, family background, and home life, we hope you can picture your child fitting in with our family. We promise to raise a child who understands the ultimate gift of life that you have given them, and to make sure you always have a special place in all our hearts. - Matthew, Megan, Isaiah & Silas

Leah and Wayne

Dear Friend, We cannot imagine what you may be going through or what has led you to make this decision but please know you are not alone and that you are incredibly brave. We pray that God sends angels to surround you with love at this time and that you feel seen and heard. God has brought you to this very moment as part of His divine plan to care for you and show you His unending blessings for your life. He has brought us together for this very reason. We applaud you for making adoption your decision. We have been praying for a baby for many years and we can’t tell you how grateful we are for you. You are truly SPECIAL, STRONG, SELFLESS, and LOVED. We promise to do everything in our control to provide a loving, nurturing, joyful life for your precious little one. We will flood everything we have into loving this baby, and with your help, they will grow up knowing how exquisite they are, how celebrated they are to us and how loved they are by you. Wayne and I (Leah) have been wanting to start a family for many years and our dream is finally coming true. Your baby will be loved beyond measure. Love, Wayne and Leah

Nathan and Audreyanna

Dear Expectant Family, We know you must be processing a lot right now as you contemplate the best decisions for you, your family, and this growing baby. So, while we don’t know all that you are feeling as you imagine a future for both you and this child, we want to extend grace (whether you decide to parent or create an adoption plan) and we pray that you are able to find peace through support and community. We are Audreyanna and Nathan (and Rose!). We met in 2009, got married in 2014, and have been growing together ever since. Even before getting married, we had discussed growing our family through adoption in some way. Audreyanna’s family adopted her sister (now in her 20’s) and so adoption had been on Audreyanna’s heart from a young age. In 2023, Rose was born and placed with us. We've seen the benefit firsthand to an open-adoption and if you choose an adoption plan, we would be honored to live in relationship with you and your child. We truly mean that! It's been a joy to regularly spend time with Rose's birth family and in doing so, better understand Rose's story. We will continue to pray for you, and others, who are faced with making these tough decisions. You are loved, Audreyanna and Nathan

Jason and Katy

Hello! We're Jason and Katy, and are very excited to begin our family through adoption. Thank you for taking the time to get to know a little about us. We can't imagine all that you are feeling right now, but want you to know that we think you are incredibly brave and strong. We look forward to learning more about you, and pray that you find peace and comfort during this journey. If we become part of your adoption story, we promise to love your child and you as our own family. We will speak highly of you, and make sure your child knows how much love you have for them. Sending you grace, strength, and love. Jason & Katy

Katie and Kyle

Hello there! Thank you so much for taking the time to read a little about us. We’re a fun-loving, faith-filled couple who have been praying about growing our family for the last 3 years. Our hearts are full of love, and we’re ready to share that love with a child. We have an extended family and group of friends who are happy for us and supportive of our adoption journey. We believe God has led us to adoption and we’re trusting Him to connect us with the right birth family. We're excited to give you a glimpse into our life, our home, and the kind of parents we hope to be.

Daniel and Leona

Dear Friend, We are excited to share a little about our life with you and look forward to meeting you. We are praying that you feel God's presence as you go through life's journey, both now and in the future. Welcome to our family profile.

James and Sarah

Hello! First off, we can't begin to imagine what this process must be like for you and we just want to say thank you. We think you are incredibly brave. We also know you are doing your best for you and your baby as you plan for the future. We would like to come alongside you in this process to offer our best as parents, committed to growing our family through adoption. We are Sarah and James, new to adoption but not new to parenting. For us, this means we have full hearts and excitement towards adoption, but also realistic expectations about what it means to raise a child, as we have three biological children. Although there are hard moments, we truly do love being parents and understand that a new child would bring unique joys and challenges. We met the summer after graduating high school. We grew up seven minutes from each other, but didn't meet until a mutual friend introduced us. And just in time, because James was about to leave for a full-time two-year religious mission in Mexico. Sarah actually served a religious mission in Central America and returned home six months after James. By an act of fate (or God), we bumped into each other shortly Sarah arrived home, two and a half years after our initial meeting. We started dating and got married a year and a half later. We value faith, family and fun. We are hopeful to add one more precious child to our family through adoption.
