Dear Expectant Parent,

Firstly, thank you for the decision you are making. We know this is not an easy one to make, one that we understand is life-changing and impactful. Your sacrifice is so giving and noble and it takes a special individual to be able to make such a choice. Your selflessness and courage gives us the opportunity to build the family we have always dreamed of. We thank you for even taking the time to read about and consider us.

Adoption has always been part of our plan. And you are helping us see this dream come true. There will never be enough thank yous.

We Choose Adoption

We have always known that we wanted children and discussed adoption early in our relationship. A major influence in this decision is the fact that Elisabeth's mother, Terri, is adopted. Terri had a great childhood and wonderful parents who were equally as wonderful grandparents to Elisabeth. A few years after we were married, we began to pursue infertility care. Unfortunately, we were unable to get pregnant so we allowed ourselves time to grieve, adjust, and research how we wanted to pursue adoption. We eventually chose Gladney and we are excited to have reached the point of having our profile shared with you.

We are Rob, Jami, and Caleb and we thank you for taking the time to read our profile and learn more about us. We are sooo excited to grow our family through adoption once again and are hoping that you might choose us as the right family for your child. We hope our story will help you in making your decision. We believe that adoption is a beautiful picture of love, acceptance, and grace and we promise to extend each of those to the child we are given. The decision you are making requires such courage, and we admire your commitment. We hope that this profile will help you as you consider what is next.

Hello,

During this difficult time, we want to extend our warmest embrace and support as you navigate through this challenging decision. Your strength and courage are truly admirable, and though we have yet to meet, please know we are sending you support from afar.

We're thrilled at the opportunity to share a glimpse into our lives with you. Family and friends hold a special place in our hearts, and nurturing those connections is our greatest joy. You'll often find us outdoors, skiing, playing tennis, or swimming in our pool. We enjoy DIY projects on our home, and we cherish moments together like seeing live music. We adore cuddling up with our beloved dog, Fancy. More than anything, we hope you'll see through these pages the deep love and mutual respect that are the bedrock of our relationship.

We hope to have the chance to learn more about you and your desires for your child so we can work together to create a wonderful life for them filled with never-ending love, opportunity, and support. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for taking the time to get to know us.

With Love, Graham Charles

Hi - We are Drew & Amanda! If we were meeting in person today, Amanda would probably ask if she could give you a hug...she loves hugs. Or, she'd be handing you a jar of honey from her bees or flowers from her garden. We would also be an hour early to wherever we were meeting because Amanda does not like to be late and wants as much quality time together as possible.

Drew would be smiling from ear to ear because he's almost always smiling. He probably picked somewhere fun for us to go together (with great food, and most likely some live music). You could almost guarantee that he couldn't sleep last night from excitement...just like he never sleeps the night before Christmas or before leaving for a trip!

While we've dreamed of the day we finally have a child in our arms, we've probably equally thought about meeting you. We're so eager to hear your story, understand what brought you to adoption, learn your desires for your child, and grow our relationship with you and our child together.

We truly believe there can never be too many people who love a child, and we believe it's so important for them to know the brave person who brought them into this world and to us.

When we decided to pursue adoption to grow our family, we both felt an overwhelming sense of peace (after many seasons of sadness, confusion, and uncertainty). We don't know what you're feeling right now but hope that when you meet that new family for both you & your baby, that you also feel that same peace.

We pray our story and adventures make you smile, make you laugh, and make you feel not-so-alone in this crazy thing called life. You are a rockstar.

AMANDA & DREW

Hello!

In our life, love is abundant--it's the one thing we are sure to give. We see the same in you, too. We believe only a heart full of love could make the brave decision - to consider adoption for your child.

It's a decision that places the love of your child first, above everything else. Your love is inspiring and touches our hearts deeply. This child, loved so much by you, will bring a wave of love into our lives. It won't stop with us, this love will spread to our family, our friends - everyone important in our lives.

We don't yet know your name or your story, and we may not ever fully grasp the journey you've been through. But we do see your strength, your selflessness, and the deep love you have for your child. This inspires us. We're hopeful for the chance to open our hearts to you and your baby. Together, we can continue to let this love grow. It's more than just an opportunity, it's a gift, and we're profoundly grateful for it.

Dear Birth Parent,

We are honored that you have taken the time and effort to consider us as a potential adoptive family for your child. We do not pretend to know or understand all you are going through but we hope you will come to trust us with your story. Please know that we and our community are praying for peace and clarity of mind for you as you continue along your journey.

We hope to provide a brief glimpse into our lives and to give you a peek at what this child's life would be like as a cherished member of our family. We promise to love our future adopted child and to support them as they grow and develop over the rest of their life. We hope to work alongside you to find ways for you to be known to them as well.

Our extended family and support system is supportive of us and our journey. We have multiple family members and close friends who have been adopted so we have some idea as to both the challenges and the rewards ahead. We acknowledge that all children are different and require individualized parenting approaches in supporting their growth over time, and we look forward to helping them along the way.

Again, we hope that we can help provide you with the reassurance that you and your child are loved. We look forward to getting to know you and answering your questions as we continue this journey together.

With Love and Appreciation, Casey and Holly

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
