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

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.

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.

We hope that you will take a few minutes with our profile to learn a little bit about who we are! We have been working so hard to get to this moment, and to meet you. We cannot wait to give you a hug and learn a little bit about your journey, your dreams, and your wishes for your next steps. We know that even though our stories may be different, we will find common ground and mutual goals. We truly wish that we will get that chance!

Thank you for your interest in our story! We are Rey and Iliana ("ill-e-ANA"), and we've been together for almost nine years now. Given we found each other a bit later in life than many people find their partners, we've always known that adoption would likely be our best opportunity to have a child. Both of Iliana's grandfathers were adopted, and we have several other friends and family members who have grown their families through adoption. It absolutely means the world to us that we have the opportunity to do the same AND meet the birth parent(s) of our child!

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.

Dear Expectant Parent(s) -

We are grateful that you are taking the time to learn about us and we are hopeful to have the opportunity to get to know you as well. We understand that the decision you are considering can be very overwhelming and scary, but we also believe it is extremely brave and courageous. Our family is excited and ready to grow and we are honored that you might become part of this journey.

We both grew up with loving and supportive families who provided a fun childhood full of cherished memories. Our marriage is full of love, commitment and adventure and we are looking forward to becoming parents ourselves and creating the same opportunity for our future children!

We hope that you will get a good sense of who we are throughout our profile and can picture the life of unconditional love that we would provide to our future children.

With love and appreciation,

John & Allyson

Our names are Lane and Nicole and we want to thank you for taking the time and consideration to learn about us and our family. This can't be easy for you, and we hope through your research of adoptive families you are able to find some peace.

In writing this profile we hope we are able to convey our true selves and what matters most to us. Putting our whole lives into this was difficult, and we want you to know that we will always be here to answer any questions you may have. We are open, loving and accepting people...and we hope you are able to feel that through this profile.

Hello,

We are in awe of the strength and courage it takes to make the difficult decision you are facing. We understand the weight of choosing the right family for your child, and we are incredibly thankful that you are considering us. We believe that what you are doing is an enormous act of love and selflessness.

Our hope is that through these pages, you will see the joy and commitment we share for each other and the life we are building. Family is extremely important to us, and we want you to know that we have the resources, the mindset, and the love to provide a happy, supportive, and nurturing home for a child.

If we are fortunate enough to be chosen, we promise to provide your child with every opportunity, to love them unconditionally, and to always honor both you and your child's story. We are filled with immense gratitude and admiration for you.

with love,

Luke & Logan
