We are very excited that you are viewing our profile and are finding out a little more about us. We realize that this may not have been an easy decision for you to make, and we recognize how the sacrifices you are making for your child come from a place of complete love, selflessness, and hope for a wonderful future for your baby. Regardless of which path or family you select, our biggest hope is that you will be filled with peace and certainty that you have made the right choice.

Dear Expectant Parent,

Adoption is a journey shaped by love, courage, and complexity--for everyone involved. As we've walked this path, we've come to deeply respect the strength it takes to consider adoption. We want you to know that we've been holding you in our thoughts and prayers, whatever your story may be. We're praying for clarity, peace, and support as you navigate this incredibly personal decision. We believe that even in difficult circumstances, hope and beauty can emerge.

May the Lord bless you and protect you. May the Lord smile on you and be gracious to you. May the Lord show you his favor and give you peace. Numbers 6:24-26 NLT

Hello,

Our names are Lisa and Greg, and we are honored that you're taking some time to get to know us. We're touched by your courage and strength as you make decisions for you and your child, and we hope to have the opportunity to get to know you as well.

We believe every family has its own unique story, and we're excited at the possibility of our story intertwining with you and your child. We've come to understand that everything happens in God's perfect timing. This belief has been a comfort to us as we've waited to become pregnant, and now as we wait to welcome a child through adoption. While our journey to this point has seemed long to us, we know God has picked out the exact child we are meant to bring home.

We have always wanted to have a family, and are excited to share our faith, traditions, adventures, and love with our future children. We are looking forward to pizza nights, matching Christmas pj's, play dates with cousins, camping trips, and other experiences as a family.

Thank you for considering us as you make this important decision. No matter what you decide, we are praying for you, your child, and all members of the adoption community.

With Love,

Lisa and Greg

Hello! We are hopeful adoptive parents, and we are so happy to have the opportunity to share a little bit about ourselves with you. We have made this online profile with a few goals in mind. We want you to have a sense of who we are as people, what motivates us, and what is important to us. We want you to know what our community is like, and what type of place our adopted child would grow up in. We want you to learn about our families, and what types of relationships and traditions hold us together.

Most of all, we want you to know why we want to adopt, and how we hope to be supportive, steadfast, nurturing, and loving parents. We know that you are making a tremendously difficult decision, and we hope that our book will help in your choice.

With love,

Becca and Ryan

First, we want you to know that you are so brave and so loved. Even if you don't feel it or see it around you, you are doing something so special by growing this child. From a young age, Katie knew that adoption was the way she wanted to grow her family. When we got together, Katie shared her desire to adopt early on in their relationship, and luckily, Rich was immediately on board. We understand that this will never be easy, but it will be ours, and we are so ready to begin this journey.

WITH LOVE, Danny & Joani

We have wanted to grow our family for years. We tried fertility treatments at the specialist from 2019 to 2022 with no luck. We decided to get a second opinion, and our world turned upside down. Joani got diagnosed with endometrial cancer. The treatment options were to have the tumor removed, monitor, and hope it wouldn't come back, or have a hysterectomy. I told Joani that it was ultimately her decision, but we didn't need to have biological children to love them. She had her surgery in March of 2023, and has just hit the two-year mark of being cancer-free! Since her surgery, we took some time and looked into fostering and adoption. We thought and prayed on it, and found Gladney. I may not be a parent yet, but I am eager to learn. Joani will make a great mom and can't wait for the opportunity to complete our family. We thank you for considering us.

Hello, we are Andrew and Krista! We cannot begin to imagine the feelings you must have while making this decision. We're sure you have gone through so many of these profiles, and we are so happy that you are considering us. After two years of trying to conceive without success, we took time to reflect on what we truly wanted for our future. What we realized was that our dream has always been to become parents--however that path may look. Choosing adoption felt like a natural and meaningful next step for us. We would love to have an open adoption so that you can maintain a relationship with the child. We hope to have the opportunity to get to know you and answer your questions as we continue this journey together.

Dear Expectant Parent,

We hope that as you read through this book, you'll get a sense of who we are and the love we have to share. Our journey has been filled with laughter, learning, and dreaming about the future. We are excited to grow our family through adoption and to create a nurturing home where a child can thrive.

Thank you for considering us as potential parents. We hope that as you read our story, you can picture the life your child would have with us: one filled with joy, adventure, and unconditional love.

Emily & Andrew
