Endless love, stability, and a lifetime of silly adventures await!

Our family motto is "Love Makes a Family." Family, friends, and everyone in between, it comes down to love making us a family.

We are Justin, Luis and Amelia and we hope that what you are about to read serve as a humble introduction to our lives, friends, and family. We can't begin to imagine what this journey had been like for you, but we know that your courage and strength will guide you through this, no matter what you ultimately choose.

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 Expectant Parent(s) -

We are so grateful that you are taking the time to learn about us, and we are hopeful for the opportunity to get to know you as well. We understand that the decision you are facing is both overwhelming and courageous, and we deeply admire your strength. Our family is eager and ready to grow, and we are honored that you may become a part of this journey with us.

Both of us grew up in loving, supportive families that filled our childhoods with joy and cherished memories. Our marriage is built on love, commitment, and adventure, and we are excited to become parents ourselves, offering the same love and opportunities to our future children.

We hope this profile gives you a clear sense of who we are and the life full of unconditional love that we are eager to share with our future children.

With love and appreciation,

John & Allyson

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.

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.

A quick look at us...We've been together 13 years, married for 8 and raising our first Gladney baby, Sophia, for 2 years. Our pup is named Otis, and we are hoping to grow our family with another child. Thank you for taking the time the learn more about us and our community of friends & family!

Hi there,

We are so thankful that you are taking the time to look at our profile. We can not begin to imagine the process that you are going through, but we are thankful for your willingness to consider us. We want to start our family more than anything and are just thankful for the opportunity to share our story and life with you.

With Love,

Ashley & Ryan
