Dear Expectant Parent,

Thank you for taking the time to look at my profile and considering me to adopt your baby. I can only imagine all of the emotions you must have as you're making this significant decision. So, I want to make sure you have an accurate picture of me.

On my profile, you'll meet my friends and family who are excited to support me on this journey. You'll also see where I live, what I like to do, and places I have been. What's most important is that you know that what you see on the following pages is what you get. I am a loving, loyal, authentic, trustworthy, happy, and a little quirky person excited and ready to become a mom. Thank you for considering me - and I hope the following pages let you really get to know me.

We are fortunate to be in a position in life where we feel ready and like God has called us to expand our family. Although our path to parenthood may be more difficult and look different than most, we are thankful for the blessing and miracle we know that's in store for us through adoption. We may not always understand a path we haven't had to walk down, but we do understand life can be unpredictable and sometimes difficult. To us, God makes no mistakes. Children are, and will always be a gift.

We may not be in your shoes, but we do understand how difficult this decision may be for you. We want you to know that we are praying for you and your baby as you navigate this process. We are here to commit and offer our lives, hearts, and home.

We want you to know that we are thankful to you for the blessing of parenthood, if we are the family you choose. Thank you for taking the time to consider us.

Dear Birth Parent,

We are honored that you have taken the time and effort to consider us as a potential adoptive family for your child. We do not pretend to know or understand all you are going through but we hope you will come to trust us with your story. Please know that we and our community are praying for peace and clarity of mind for you as you continue along your journey.

We hope to provide a brief glimpse into our lives and to give you a peek at what this child's life would be like as a cherished member of our family. We promise to love our future adopted child and to support them as they grow and develop over the rest of their life. We hope to work alongside you to find ways for you to be known to them as well.

Our extended family and support system is supportive of us and our journey. We have multiple family members and close friends who have been adopted so we have some idea as to both the challenges and the rewards ahead. We acknowledge that all children are different and require individualized parenting approaches in supporting their growth over time, and we look forward to helping them along the way.

Again, we hope that we can help provide you with the reassurance that you and your child are loved. We look forward to getting to know you and answering your questions as we continue this journey together.

With Love and Appreciation, Casey and Holly

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!

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.

"You have what the world needs!"

This open statement resonates with us when it comes to anyone who may be reading our profile book, especially any expectant parents. You have what the world needs because even in difficult times, your courage is reflected by your willingness to explore options to make the best decision for you and those around you. Your courage shows you have a caring heart that desires to make the right decision for you and your loved ones, a quality many have forgotten in today's world.

Whether you choose to raise a child or move forward with an adoption plan, know that we are cheering for you, hoping that any fears or pains you are experiencing in your life may be healed. We both feel extremely honored and blessed to have you consider us as prospective parents.

Dear Expectant Parent,

Thank you so much for considering to love your child through adoption. We know this is a difficult decision and want you to know that you are appreciated for your selflessness in potentially choosing to bless us with the gift of being able to have a family of our own. We both have always wanted to be parents and you giving us that opportunity means everything to us.

Our desire is to love, protect and care for a child and help them as they grow.

- David & Marisa

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!
