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!

We are a blended couple where our cultures, traditions, and uniqueness have been woven into our lives. Our hearts are open and ready to welcome your child into our family.

Hello and Hola!

We feel so fortunate that you've taken a moment to learn a bit more about our growing family. However, before we get into ourselves, we want to acknowledge the journey you've taken to get to this booklet. We know that journey has likely been, at times, overwhelming and emotional, with complicated questions and daunting answers. We can't even begin to imagine the whirlwind of emotions you must be feeling, but we have great empathy and are in awe of the strength it's taken for you to walk this path thus far.

Our promise to you is that if you choose to place your child in our care, our love and support for them will know no bounds. They will be a part of a family that crosses two continents, will cheer them on during the good and the bad, and is unwaveringly devoted to love for each other. But, most of all, they'll be part of a family that was built on warmth, empathy, support, and camaraderie. They will know of the great path that led them to us and the incredible people who made that possible.

Dear Birthparent, We want to express our heartfelt gratitude for taking the time to learn about us. We acknowledge the courage and strength it takes to consider adoption for your child. Whether you are certain about adoption or still exploring your options, we understand that this journey you're on is incredibly challenging.

If you do decide to create an adoption plan and select us as the adoptive parents, your child will not only be welcomed into our family but also embraced as an extension of yours. Your child will grow up knowing their adoption story, and they will be cherished and celebrated for their unique journey. Our hope is to create a warm and inclusive environment where your child feels a sense of belonging and connection, not only to us but also to you, their roots, and their heritage.

Most importantly, we want you to understand that we'll stand as their unwavering cheerleaders in life, wholeheartedly supporting them and ensuring they have every opportunity to pursue their dreams and passions. We pray that you find solace in whichever path you choose, reassured by the knowledge that your child will be surrounded by love, regardless of the decision made.

Hello,

Thank you so much for taking the time to look through our profile and learn a bit about us! We have a lot of love to give and are beyond grateful to think that you might be considering us. We have been praying for you and this child for a long time. And while we don't know you yet, we are already amazed by your selflessness, compassion, and courage!

Family means so much to us, and we want you to know that we wish the very best for you and your baby whatever you decide. We hope that we can eventually meet you, give you a big hug, and tell you in person how much you mean to us!

We have always wanted to be parents and if you choose us to adopt your child, we promise we will love that child with all our heart and support them in any way they need. They will always know their story and feel the love that their birth family has for them.

With Love,

Melissa, Bobby, and Rufus

Hello,

Our names are Lisa and Greg, and we are honored that you're taking some time to get to know us. We're touched by your courage and strength as you make decisions for you and your child, and we hope to have the opportunity to get to know you as well.

We believe every family has its own unique story, and we're excited at the possibility of our story intertwining with you and your child. We've come to understand that everything happens in God's perfect timing. This belief has been a comfort to us as we've waited to become pregnant, and now as we wait to welcome a child through adoption. While our journey to this point has seemed long to us, we know God has picked out the exact child we are meant to bring home.

We have always wanted to have a family, and are excited to share our faith, traditions, adventures, and love with our future children. We are looking forward to pizza nights, matching Christmas pj's, play dates with cousins, camping trips, and other experiences as a family.

Thank you for considering us as you make this important decision. No matter what you decide, we are praying for you, your child, and all members of the adoption community.

With Love,

Lisa and Greg
