We hope this profile book gives you a glimpse into our lives--who we are, what we enjoy, our priorities, and most importantly our desire to become parents, and welcome children into our home.

We cannot begin to understand the journey you are walking and the magnitude of the decision you are making. We admire your strength and your willingness to consider adoption. We have longed to start a family for many years, and we are so honored to be considered to parent your child. We want you to know that, above all else, we want what is best for you and your child. Whether or not we have the blessing of caring for and raising your baby, you are now forever in our thoughts and prayers.

Hello,

Thank you for taking the time to learn about our family. You have a lot to think about and a lot to take on. There are so many plans you could make for your future and this baby's future. Adoption comes about with strong emotions for all involved. We see the strength and love this decision takes. We know that you are making hard choices about what is right for both of you. If we are lucky enough to be chosen by you for your baby's future, We are ready to love and embrace you and the baby.

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.

Dear Expectant Mom,

We see you and we feel for you. Are you feeling scared? We are too. We've read the books, watched the videos, and still can't fully grasp the weight of the decisions you are facing. Through this book, we hope to make your decision to place your baby for adoption a little easier. We are deeply honored to be here with you in this moment. We understand that your decision comes from a place of love. If you choose to move forward with adoption and select us, we promise to welcome you with open hearts and offer the very best we can. We believe that God has called us to expand our family through adoption. This doesn't mean we aren't frightened. However, we are choosing love, openness, and bravery. While we can't understand exactly what you are going through, perhaps you are also feeling scared and choosing love, openness, and bravery. We hope we can walk this path together. We are praying for you, no matter what you choose.

With love,

Nick & Jennie

In 2015, we were introduced on a blind date, despite both of us taking a break from dating. Life threw us a curveball in 2016 when we discovered we wouldn't be able to naturally have our own children. IVF was an option; however, we decided IVF was not something we wanted to pursue. We wanted to build our family through adoption. We're thrilled to start this journey and embrace our future family with open arms. We want you to feel at ease in deciding what works best for you. We get it, life can be unpredictable. But we promise to be flexible and adjust how our adoption journey looks based on your comfort level. We'll always keep our word and never waver on our commitment to you.

Dear Expectant Mom,

We don't know your story, but we know you've come here in love, courage, and strength. We also know you face an incredibly significant decision, as you consider making an adoption plan for your child. We hope our profile gives you a glimpse into our life, so you can envision what it might look like to step into each other's stories.

If we're lucky enough to be chosen as adoptive parents by you, we promise to give your child a home full of warmth, stability, laughter, and love. Faith will shape our days. Books will fill our shelves. Curiosity and kindness will guide how we parent. And honor, belonging, and gratitude will always surround your place in our family. Without knowing your name, we pray for you and the road you navigate. Thank you for taking the time to learn about us.

With love, Lucy & Mark
