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 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

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.

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.

Hi! We are David and Heather. Thank you for taking the time to consider adoption. We are both educators in the public school system and live in a beautiful home with our two cats. It takes a village to raise a child, and we truly have a strong support system surrounding us. We invite you to be a part of this village and embark on this adoption journey along with us!

Dear Expectant Mother,

Thank you so much for taking the time to learn about our family. We cannot imagine the depth of love, strength, and courage it takes to consider an adoption plan for your child. We have the utmost respect for you and the choices you are making. We want you to know that we are honored to be part of this process, and we admire the love and care you are showing your child by exploring this path.

We are Stephanie and Erica, and we've been together for many years, building a life filled with love, respect, and commitment to family. The day we adopted our son, Evan, was one of the happiest moments of our lives. Being his parents has brought us so much joy and fulfillment, and we cannot wait to grow our family and share our love with another child. Evan is a sweet and curious little boy, and he has filled our home with laughter and love. We are so excited to watch him become a big brother and share his gentle heart with a new sibling.

Our home is full of love, laughter, and support. We believe in creating a nurturing environment where our children feel safe, cherished, and encouraged to explore their world. We love spending time together as a family, whether it's attending Evan's music classes, reading books, or visiting the zoo. Every day is filled with moments of joy, play, and learning, and we are committed to giving our children the best possible foundation as they grow.

One of the most important things to us is teaching our children the value of diversity and inclusion. Growing up in diverse communities has helped us appreciate and respect different cultures and backgrounds. We believe it is important to honor and celebrate where each child comes from, and we are committed to raising our children in a home where they feel proud of who they are and where they come from. We will also respect and embrace the heritage and background that is important to your child's story.

We understand that this is an emotional and deeply personal decision, and we want to support you in any way that feels right for you. Whether you are looking for regular updates, photos, or visits, we are open to creating a relationship that respects your wishes and gives you peace of mind knowing your child is loved and thriving.

Please know that, if you choose us, your child will be welcomed into a family that will love and cherish them unconditionally. We are committed to providing a life full of love, support, and opportunity. We will be there for every milestone, every adventure, and every moment, big or small, that shapes who they are.

Thank you again for considering us as part of this journey. We admire your strength and the love you are showing your child, and we would be honored to welcome them into our family.

With love and gratitude,Stephanie, Erica, and Evan

Hello!

From the start, we want to tell you how much we have poured over what to say in this letter, and we still feel we struggle to find the right words. We can only imagine what it's like for you to be in this position, to be making such a scary and difficult decision that must feel like a turning point both for you and your baby. It must be such a confusing time, and we only wish to be able to offer you peace with that decision, whether you choose us or not. What we can promise to you is a stable, loving, supportive home full of education, empathy, and laughter for your baby. We have both known for so long, even before we met, that we want to be parents. When we met, we knew that this was the person we wanted to share a child with.

We are fortunate to be in a position in life where we feel ready and like God has called us to expand our family. Although our path to parenthood may be more difficult and look different than most, we are thankful for the blessing and miracle we know that's in store for us through adoption. We may not always understand a path we haven't had to walk down, but we do understand life can be unpredictable and sometimes difficult. To us, God makes no mistakes. Children are, and will always be a gift.

We may not be in your shoes, but we do understand how difficult this decision may be for you. We want you to know that we are praying for you and your baby as you navigate this process. We are here to commit and offer our lives, hearts, and home.

We want you to know that we are thankful to you for the blessing of parenthood, if we are the family you choose. Thank you for taking the time to consider us.
