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!

Dear Expectant Parent,

Thank you for taking the time to look through these pages that we have carefully curated to show you a glimpse of our life that we want to share with you. Though we don't know you just yet, hopefully you'll see something in us that settles your soul and provides comfort in whatever choice you will make.

We can't possibly know what your journey in life has been thus far; perhaps you have faced some challenges that taught you resilience, but also experienced kindness, which taught you love. Whatever it may be, your life has provided you with these tools to make this decision. One that we respect the gravity of and understand the sacrifice you are making to ensure your baby has the opportunity of a wonderful life.

We hope we have the privilege of meeting you one day, and if not, we wish you well and hope you find happiness with another special couple.

Dear Expectant Parent

We don't know your story or what you've been through. We don't know your background or where you're from. But life has brought us together, and given us the opportunity to share our story with you. Although we don't know you, there are a few things we are sure of; which is that you love your child, that you are strong, and that you have great courage because without those things you wouldn't be reading this. We hope as you look through this, you see the love we have for each other, our children, our family, and our community. We will channel this love towards you and your child.

We are Paul and Erin, a fun-loving family who values home-cooked meals, game nights, family gatherings, travel adventures, and supporting each other's passions.

We believe children should be encouraged to be curious, passionate, and celebrated for exactly who they are.

We recognize and acknowledge your strength as you navigate an incredibly difficult and deeply personal journey, and we have so much respect for whatever path feels right for you and your child.

Dear Expectant Parent,

We can only imagine how you are feeling at this time. We want you to know that we admire and respect you for being able to consider so many different options for you and your child. It takes a strong, selfless, and loving parent to consider that the best pathway for their child might not be the path you originally hoped to take. No matter the path you choose, we support you wholeheartedly and believe only you can make the decision that is best for you and your child. Thank you for taking the time to read our profile and learn a little more about us. We appreciate you considering us as adoptive parents and want you to know that, regardless of what you choose, you will always have our love, admiration, and support.

Hello, nice to "meet" you!

We're Kristy and Ryan, writing to you from Texas. Thank you for looking through our profile! We know it's just words and pictures, but we'll try to show you who we are, so you can get to know us a little bit.

What an uncommon situation for us all to be in! Anticipation, uncertainty, and hopeful waiting. While we can only imagine what you might be going through right now, we wish you the strength to make the best decision for you and your child, and the peace of knowing you made the best choice for both of you.

If that decision is choosing us to parent your child, we look forward to learning more about you and hearing your story. And we hope we get to help your child write their own someday.

As you consider your options--whether that is parenting or adoption--please know we are praying for peace, clarity, and strength for you. We want you to feel supported and confident in whatever path you choose. Our hearts are open to growing our family through adoption. Adoption is how we became a family, and it has truly been the greatest blessing in our lives. It would be an incredible honor to be part of your story.

Birth Parent/s,

We are honored you are taking the time to look at our profile. We understand the choices before you may be difficult and overwhelming and we have so much admiration for you as you make these difficult decisions for you and your family. About a year after we were married we decided to start trying to grow our family. We quickly learned how incredibly heart breaking and difficult that process can be. After years of treatments, doctors, and loss we decided to take a step back. We took a two year break to heal and pray about our future. Adoption was always something we had talked about and it was still heavy on our hearts so we decided it was time to take the leap! Here we are; Praying for our future child and so ready to shower them with all the love and cuddles we have to offer.
