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.

Hi! It's great to meet you! We're Michael and Oliver, and we want to share a bit about ourselves with you as you navigate this important decision for you and your child. Family is the foundation of everything good in our lives and we hope our words and pictures will show you the love, happiness, and unwavering dedication that we have ready to share.

Hi there! We're Kayley and Corey and we're ecstatic to be growing our family through adoption.

We want to start by sincerely thanking you for considering us as potential parents of your baby; we commend your courage and wish you the best as you navigate this process.

As you consider what is best for your child, we hope you enjoy getting to know us better through our profile. We look forward to the opportunity to meet you and take this journey together as a family.

With love and hope,

Kayley and Corey

We truly love children and have always dreamed of having a family. We are grateful for the decision that you are making as it is an indescribable gift to those of us who desire to have a family. We can never know the courage it took to make this decision. Thank you for choosing life.

We understand this must be a difficult and confusing time, and we may never completely understand all the emotions that you are experiencing. We respect your decision to place the baby for adoption. We pray for you to have the peace only God can give you and will continue to pray for you throughout this chapter of your life.

May the Lord bless you always (Numbers 6:24-26)

Love & blessings,Caleb & Rachel

Dear Expectant Parent

Thank you. Whether you choose us to raise your child or not, thank you. Without adoption, our family wouldn't be here. Wyatt's mother was adopted (from Gladney). Because her mother made that brave decision, we're able to be here writing to you now. Whatever circumstances brought you to this place and to meeting these families, we know that it hasn't been and won't be easy. Whatever you're feeling right now is valid. We hope that seeing the excitement, love, and care in these books will give you a sense of confidence and comfort through these next steps.

We are grateful for you, your courage and care, and that you're considering us to love and care for your child!

Dear Expectant Parent,

Thank You. Our hearts go out to you. It must be an incredibly difficult decision for a birth mother to consider adoption and entrust her child to an adoptive family.

We can't imagine the range of emotions you must be feeling right now, and we hope you're giving yourself a lot of grace and patience as you walk this journey.

We want to honor you and your decision by providing a lifelong loving, nurturing home for your baby, and a family that everyone deserves.

Thank you for considering us.
