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

Hi,

Our names are Cody and Marissa, and we want to thank you for taking the time to get to know us. Your strength and courage to consider what you feel is the right plan for your child are truly admirable. We can not imagine what you may be feeling right now, and we want you to know that you are in our thoughts and prayers.

We imagine you desire a wonderful life for your child, whether that be through you choosing to parent your child or you making an adoption plan. We know that whatever decision you choose is motivated by the love you have for your child, and we pray that you are able to feel peace and comfort in your decision.

With love and prayers,

Cody & Marissa

Hey there, We must have started and restarted this letter dozens of times, trying to think of the right thing to say and the right words to use, but with no children of our own, we understand there's no way for us to sincerely say we know what you're going through. You might be feeling overwhelmed reading these words like we definitely were when writing them, but we hope you begin to feel some comfort knowing that we are here, like you, a little nervous, a little anxious, but mostly just doing our best to prepare for what comes next. Your decision to consider adoption is admirable, and one we respect and do not take lightly. We know that whatever choice you make, you've already done an incredibly brave thing for your child. Whatever decision you make, we want you to know that you are irreplaceable, not just to your child but to us. We want you to be a part of our family, not just a part of your child's life, but to join what is sometimes a chaotic mess of people and pets but is most of all a loving family. A family that prioritizes acceptance and understanding, patience and kindness, and support. A family that may not be perfect but is always there and always growing together. We're glad you get to learn a little bit about us, our lives, and our desire to adopt.

Hello!

We hope you are surrounded by love and support during this emotional time. We admire the strength, courage, and care you are showing by considering adoption. We know this is a difficult decision, and we deeply respect the thought you're giving to your child's future.

As a couple hoping to adopt, we are full of hope, but we understand this is not an easy choice. We know you love your child, and we want the best for both of you, no matter what you decide.

If you choose adoption and consider us, we promise to provide a loving, supportive, and nurturing home. We will always honor the special connection you have with your child and raise them knowing your love for them.

Thank you for considering us, and we wish you peace and clarity during this journey.

With heartfelt respect and gratitude,

Kayla and Bill

We are best friends. We strive to find the joy in life and love spending time together. Whether that is discovering a new game, indulging in a new cuisine, or simply being in the same room while doing separate things.

We complement each other (opposites do attract). Sarah is better with numbers, Paul is better with words. Paul always wins at Mario Kart, but Sarah always wins at Ticket to Ride. Sarah follows the recipe, and Paul makes it up as he goes. Paul likes the beach, Sarah prefers the mountains.

We work well together. We approach life's many challenges as a team, side by side, working to build the best life possible for our family. And we approach our relationship the same, always working to make it even better.

Hey mama, we are JD and Kelsey. We don't know what your story is, but we would love to hear it, and maybe share ours with you. The main thing you need to know about us is that we love Jesus; love for Him influences all we do, and it will inform how we raise children as well. We have been married for almost seven years, and have survived several moves (even across the country), but now we're settled up north in a pretty (and very big) cabin on a lake. We have two cats (Moose and Marley), two dogs (Maxine and McCoy) and about 20 laying hens (who don't all have names, unfortunately, haha). We love to go to state/national parks, visit with friends and family, and we have different hobbies, which you can learn about on our page. Most importantly, we would love to grow our family with adoption, and we hope you could be part of our journey. Whatever you choose, we want what is best for you and your baby. Thank you for checking out our page!

Hi there! We are Kylie and Zachary. It has been a lifelong dream of ours to start a family, and we are so fortunate to have selfless mamas like you who can help make that dream come true. We are a military family who has explored all over the world with our two cats, Miso and Baker. This is just a glimpse into our lives; we hope to share more with you!

Hi Brave Parents!

We are honored and sincerely appreciate the opportunity to share our profile with you. We cannot begin to understand your journey and truly admire your bravery. We hope as you begin to learn more about our family, you will feel a connection of trust, openness, and love. As you process through decisions ahead, please know that we see you as a strong, confident, and courageous woman. It is our commitment to welcome you into our family as you desire. The journey is lifelong, and we hope ours come together through open adoption. Your child will always know your unconditional love for them. We are looking forward to raising a child to be kind, humble, and full of love and laughter. We will provide a life full of unconditional love, opportunities to grow, and experiences to learn. Thank you for including us in your journey.
