Our names are Lane and Nicole and we want to thank you for taking the time and consideration to learn about us and our family. This can't be easy for you, and we hope through your research of adoptive families you are able to find some peace.

In writing this profile we hope we are able to convey our true selves and what matters most to us. Putting our whole lives into this was difficult, and we want you to know that we will always be here to answer any questions you may have. We are open, loving and accepting people...and we hope you are able to feel that through this profile.

We hope that you will take a few minutes with our profile to learn a little bit about who we are! We have been working so hard to get to this moment, and to meet you. We cannot wait to give you a hug and learn a little bit about your journey, your dreams, and your wishes for your next steps. We know that even though our stories may be different, we will find common ground and mutual goals. We truly wish that we will get that chance!

Thank you for your interest in our story! We are Rey and Iliana ("ill-e-ANA"), and we've been together for almost nine years now. Given we found each other a bit later in life than many people find their partners, we've always known that adoption would likely be our best opportunity to have a child. Both of Iliana's grandfathers were adopted, and we have several other friends and family members who have grown their families through adoption. It absolutely means the world to us that we have the opportunity to do the same AND meet the birth parent(s) of our child!

Hey mama, we are JD and Kelsey. We don't know what your story is, but we would love to hear it, and maybe share ours with you. The main thing you need to know about us is that we love Jesus; love for Him influences all we do, and it will inform how we raise children as well. We have been married for almost seven years, and have survived several moves (even across the country), but now we're settled up north in a pretty (and very big) cabin on a lake. We have two cats (Moose and Marley), two dogs (Maxine and McCoy) and about 20 laying hens (who don't all have names, unfortunately, haha). We love to go to state/national parks, visit with friends and family, and we have different hobbies, which you can learn about on our page. Most importantly, we would love to grow our family with adoption, and we hope you could be part of our journey. Whatever you choose, we want what is best for you and your baby. Thank you for checking out our page!

Dear Expectant Parent(s),

Our names are Jessica and Matthias, and we would like to start by recognizing how incredibly strong and courageous you are for considering adoption. We understand that this is likely not an easy time for you and we have been praying that you feel God's guidance and peace through this journey.

We'd also like to thank you for looking at our profile to learn a bit about us and our journey to become parents through adoption. We are excited about growing our family, not only by becoming parents but also by welcoming you and your loved ones, if that relationship is something you are open to and think is best for the child.

Hi Brave Parents!

We are honored and sincerely appreciate the opportunity to share our profile with you. We cannot begin to understand your journey and truly admire your bravery. We hope as you begin to learn more about our family, you will feel a connection of trust, openness, and love. As you process through decisions ahead, please know that we see you as a strong, confident, and courageous woman. It is our commitment to welcome you into our family as you desire. The journey is lifelong, and we hope ours come together through open adoption. Your child will always know your unconditional love for them. We are looking forward to raising a child to be kind, humble, and full of love and laughter. We will provide a life full of unconditional love, opportunities to grow, and experiences to learn. Thank you for including us in your journey.

Dear Expectant Mother,

We have no perfect words and no true understanding as to what you might be going through. What we do know is that we look up to you and your decision for this selfless act as a mother. It is evident that you care about your child, and that you want to do what is best for them. We hope that you and your child will always know how they came into our lives and, if you desire, continue to know who you are. Thank you for your courage and for considering us.

Hi,

Your strength and courage to consider what you feel is the right plan for your child are truly admirable. We can not imagine what you may be feeling right now, and we want you to know that you are in our thoughts and prayers.

We imagine you desire a wonderful life for your child, whether that be through you choosing to parent your child or you making an adoption plan. We know that whatever decision you choose is motivated by the love you have for your child, and we pray that you are able to feel peace and comfort in your decision.

With love and prayers,

Cody & Marissa
