Dear Expectant Parent,

We would like to thank you for taking the time to learn a little about our family. We are very excited for our family to grow through adoption. We know you are facing a very difficult decision and we admire your strength and courage. We look forward to getting to know you and hope that you find peace and comfort as you make this important decision. This profile will give you some insight into our lives and the type of life that we can offer a child.

Family is very important to us and is the foundation for a wonderful life. Our families are very close and cannot wait to welcome a child. Please keep in mind that your child will always know how much you love them and how selfless you were to make the brave decision to place them for adoption. We excitedly await to welcome a child into our home and we look forward to the journey ahead.

With a heart full of love,

Jose & Ivette

Hi there! We are Kylie and Zachary. It has been a lifelong dream of ours to start a family, and we are so fortunate to have selfless mamas like you who can help make that dream come true. We are a military family who has explored all over the world with our two cats, Miso and Baker. This is just a glimpse into our lives; we hope to share more with you!

We know that the choice you're making by considering adoption for your child is an incredibly difficult choice to make. We have so much admiration for you already simply by being loving enough and brave enough to make that decision. Our promise to you is that we're dedicated to providing our future child with a warm, loving home where they'll be nurtured, supported, and valued for exactly who they are. It's important to us that our future child knows where they came from and that you always have a place in their story.

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,

We both meet here with our own unique stories that brought us here. We aren't sure if either of us would have thought we would be here today, learning more about each other and even ourselves. But we are both here because we have love in our hearts. Even though we don't know each other right now, know that we support you. We pray that you have someone or find someone who understands you and makes you feel like you are not alone. As we have learned, you're never alone! There are numerous parents that are in the shoes you are currently in, with their own unique circumstances that have brought them there. We hope you find them so you feel understood! Adoption can make a child's story unique as well and can provide them with more love than just two parents. The day we adopt a child, they will always know their story and where they came from. We pray that you have a healthy pregnancy with a healthy child. You have created one of God's most precious gifts that He will ever offer this world. We pray that they feel the warmth of a mother's love. That they have hands to hold and receive many hugs and kisses. That they do not feel alone and that they are comforted with a support system that they can trust. We pray that their life is full of fun adventures filled with peace and happiness. That they receive a life full of opportunities. We can not imagine the struggles that you must be going through, but know that we admire your strength and courage. We know that it might not seem like it now, but you are very brave. Trust in yourself and know that you will make the right decision for both you and your child, whether that decision be to parent or to continue with creating an adoption plan.

We hope you enjoy our story! With love,

Matthew and Kirsten

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!

Hello! We are Braden, Jordan, and Charlie (our dog) and we are excited to share love and belongingness with a new member of our family. We both work in education and live in an amazing, supportive, and diverse community that shares our values. A few things to know about us:

Family: We love and are embraced by our families. As a central part of our lives, they are excited to welcome a new member(s).

Education: We are both educators and believe in making sure all children are provided opportunities for the best education.

Fun/Celebrations/Friends: Our community is everything and the time we spend with others is a continual celebration of our differences and friendships that make our day-to-day lives even better.

We know you are potentially facing difficult decisions right now as you consider the possibility of adoption. We feel lucky you've read this far and hope you know how appreciative we are.

Hello, we are Scott and Jessica, a couple of home-grown, hardworking, fun-loving characters. Our living motto is "adapt and overcome," letting nothing stand in our way of persevering through all of life's adventures.

Founded from hardworking families and good quality values of the Midwest, we are best friends who have been married for nearly 6 years and together for 12. Our qualities complement each other with Scott being the analytical engineer who loves all things outdoors and Jessica being the thoughtful graphic designer who enjoys all things creative. We have one spoiled fur child, Mila, a 6-year-old Weimaraner who loves everyone she meets.

These are just the cliff's notes, but our full story is worth the read and we appreciate you taking the time to do so, regardless of the path you choose.
