Hello,

We imagine considering adoption may be difficult for you, and we admire your strength, courage, and selflessness. We will ensure that your child will be proud of their origins and their adoption story.

We want to spread faith, hope, and love in growing our family. It truly is the building block of society, and we want to not only positively impact our personal family but society as well. We want to ingrain compassion, generosity, patience, kindness, humility, and resilience in our child. We put a high priority on education, and want them to live with gratitude, to work hard, and to have a relationship with Jesus Christ. They will finally determine who they become, how they will live, and what they want out of life, but what we want most is our child to be a light to the world.Lastly, thank you for giving your child a chance at life, that is denied so many. Your decision is truly a blessing.

Hi! We're Jen and Aaron. Thank you for taking the time to learn about us. We realize that you are in the midst of making a life-altering decision and you are carefully weighing multiple options. We appreciate that one of the options you're exploring is considering us as potential adoptive parents for your child.

We've been together since 2017 and, from the start, we knew we both wanted children. That plan hasn't worked out for us yet, but we know we still have the space in our hearts and our home. We love the life we share. Each day together reminds us of the trust, genuine affection, and fun that is at the center of our relationship. We are grateful that you might be the person to help us on our journey.

Hello! We are Andrew and Thao, a happily married couple who couldn't be more excited that you are taking the time to learn about us. We look forward to learning about you as well. Your decision is brave and may, at times, feel scary. Whichever path you choose, take pride in knowing you are doing what is best for your baby, and we commend your courage.

Since we began our relationship ten years ago, we bonded over our love of family. Our goal is to weave that love into our home. Family is not solely defined by blood but also by the deep and meaningful connections that grow between parents and children, siblings, cousins, aunts, and uncles, regardless of adoption. We hope for the opportunity to give your baby the experience of unconditional love from not only us but our parents, siblings, and friends. We appreciate you taking the time to get to know us, and we're excited to hear your story and get to know you better.

Dear Birth Parent,

We are honored that you have taken the time and effort to consider us as a potential adoptive family for your child. We do not pretend to know or understand all you are going through but we hope you will come to trust us with your story. Please know that we and our community are praying for peace and clarity of mind for you as you continue along your journey.

We hope to provide a brief glimpse into our lives and to give you a peek at what this child's life would be like as a cherished member of our family. We promise to love our future adopted child and to support them as they grow and develop over the rest of their life. We hope to work alongside you to find ways for you to be known to them as well.

Our extended family and support system is supportive of us and our journey. We have multiple family members and close friends who have been adopted so we have some idea as to both the challenges and the rewards ahead. We acknowledge that all children are different and require individualized parenting approaches in supporting their growth over time, and we look forward to helping them along the way.

Again, we hope that we can help provide you with the reassurance that you and your child are loved. We look forward to getting to know you and answering your questions as we continue this journey together.

With Love and Appreciation, Casey and Holly

We Choose Adoption

We have always known that we wanted children and discussed adoption early in our relationship. A major influence in this decision is the fact that Elisabeth's mother, Terri, is adopted. Terri had a great childhood and wonderful parents who were equally as wonderful grandparents to Elisabeth. A few years after we were married, we began to pursue infertility care. Unfortunately, we were unable to get pregnant so we allowed ourselves time to grieve, adjust, and research how we wanted to pursue adoption. We eventually chose Gladney and we are excited to have reached the point of having our profile shared with you.

Hello, We are Matt & Elizabeth

We are very excited to share our family with you.

We imagine that the moments that brought you to this moment have been full of emotions, and we have deep empathy for what you have gone through and the decisions you've faced. As you consider this book and our story, we want you to know that we will love your child with our full hearts, and we will raise them to have every opportunity and every possibility we know you would want for them. We will cherish them and nurture them along the path to discover who they are, what makes them unique, special, and very loved.

This book is for you to get to know us, our families, our lives, and who we are as a couple. If our paths align, we would be so excited to meet you!

We're Jack and Emily.

We started dating in high school and have been together for over seventeen years. We moved in together after graduating from college in 2013. Since then, we've lived together in five houses in four cities and three different states. We moved once for work, once for grad school, once for a bigger yard, and once just for fun.
