Dear Expectant Mother,

Hi! We're Ramez and Trevor, and we are so excited to meet you! We feel very lucky to be here and to have the opportunity to introduce ourselves.

Ramez is an Egyptian Canadian engineer and Trevor is an attorney born and raised in West Texas. On paper, we could not be more different, but we share the most important things. We want to be dads more than anything, we want to raise our kids to be kind, loving, and curious about the world around them. Most of all, we share a love that we can't wait to pass on to our kids. We can't wait to share all of the laughs, tears, and hugs of life with our family.

We promise you that we will commit everything to raising a family that is centered on love, honesty, and kindness. We also promise to respect you, the person you are, and the decisions you make. As you flip through these pages, we hope that we will be able to provide you with a sense of who we are as a family, and why we are here.

We think you are extremely brave for taking this step and know just how lucky the baby is to have such an amazing birth mother who want them to be loved and have all the opportunities they deserve. Ultimately, we hope to meet you so we can be there for you throughout this journey.

Hi!

Thank you for clicking our profile! As we sit to write this letter our hearts are filled with excitement and emotion, as we know our lives will be forever changed for the better. We truly love children and have always dreamed of having a family. We are grateful for the decision that you are making as it is an indescribable gift to those of us who desire to have a family. We can never know the courage it took to make this decision. Thank you for choosing life.

We understand this must be a difficult and confusing time, and we may never completely understand all the emotions that you are experiencing. We respect your decision to place the baby for adoption. We pray for you to have the peace only God can give you and will continue to pray for you throughout this chapter of your life. As you will learn our family is a household of joy, peace, fun, faith, and most of all love.

We are blessed with a wonderful life and strong support system of friends and family. We have prayed that the Lord would bless us with a child and know that God has provided adoption as a way for us. We have so much love to give, and we cannot wait to be parents!

May the Lord bless you always (Numbers 6:24-26)

Love & blessings,Caleb & Rachel

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.

Our family motto is "Love Makes a Family." Family, friends, and everyone in between, it comes down to love making us a family.

We are Justin, Luis and Amelia and we hope that what you are about to read serve as a humble introduction to our lives, friends, and family. We can't begin to imagine what this journey had been like for you, but we know that your courage and strength will guide you through this, no matter what you ultimately choose.

There are so many words that come to mind when we think of you: selfless, brave, loving, strong, compassionate, self-sacrificing....and the list goes on and on. Where do we begin to express how these words describe you? We stand in awe and genuine admiration and respect as we think of you and your circumstances. We have been praying for you and this child for a long time. We know this has to be one of, if not the most, difficult decisions that you have or will ever have to make. We are grateful that you will entrust us to raise your child. Thank you for considering us. Thank you for believing in us to raise a precious gift.

Dear Expectant Parents,

Hello! I'm Garvin from Houston, Texas. I have always been open to adoption, and from a young age knew that adoption would be a possibility to grow my family. I am at a point in my life where I feel the most secure, confident, and comfortable I've ever felt, and I am excited to share all of that with a child. In spending time with my 6-year-old nephew Johnny, who you will meet in the coming pages, I see the opportunities that parenthood offers and what I have to offer a child. I have been fortunate to have an amazing extended family, and I want to share and give that to a child. I dream of getting to take my child to activities pursuing their passions, introducing them to the things I love, and enjoying all that our city offers from wonderful parks to museums, and to visit places both near and far. I cannot wait to teach my child how to ride a bike. I yearn to create new traditions with my child and to grow together as a family. Thank you for taking the time to get to know me and those who I hold so dear. I look forward to the opportunity to know you and for you to know me as well.

Dear Expectant Parent,

You are amazing. Remember to be kind and gracious to yourself.

Today, we are so privileged to have the opportunity to write to you. Our wish is for you to breathe it all in. Through your baby's moves, you will feel your strength, your patience, your vulnerabilities and your unwavering determination to give the best to your child. Your selflessness is so cherished. We are humbled beyond measure to have you consider us as parents. We want you to know we will raise our child in a God-anchored, loving family with so much joy.

DEAR EXPECTANT PARENT--

Thank you for taking the time to look through this Profile. We know there is so much change happening in your life right now, and that can come with a number of emotions and challenges. One of the reasons we chose Gladney was because we knew they would meet you in these emotions and challenges and provide great support. We hope you've felt cared for and encouraged through each step, and that you will continue to feel that way throughout this process as you make the decision that's best for you.

We're Robert Tate & Sarah (Robert Tate is his first name-it's complicated, we know). We've been friends for 12 years and married for over 3. Even before we were together, we both always hoped that adoption could be part of our story and the way we start our family. That led us here to Gladney.

In this profile, you'll find more details about our life, hobbies, and commitments through this process.
