We are grateful to be able to introduce our family to you. We are Michael and Laura, and we have two daughters. Our oldest is Samara, and our youngest is Peyton. We don't know the circumstances surrounding this difficult decision that you find yourself making, but we admire your love for your baby. If we get the opportunity to know you and your story, we know there are so many beautiful and incredible things about who you are. But without having met you yet, we know you are brave, full of love, and so courageous. You are seen. You are loved. Our deepest hope and prayer for you is that no matter what choice you make you feel supported, loved, and taken care of. We've tried our best for this book to give you an honest and authentic view of who we are and what our lives are like. We have huge families on both sides who are ready and excited to welcome another precious little one into the family. We want to assure you that we are happy with whatever amount of openness and relationship you'd like to have. We want to respect your needs, desires, and boundaries. We want you to always feel seen, important, and honored. Thank you for considering our family. With love, Michael & Laura

Dear Expectant Parent,

Firstly, thank you for the decision you are making. We know this is not an easy one to make, one that we understand is life-changing and impactful. Your sacrifice is so giving and noble and it takes a special individual to be able to make such a choice. Your selflessness and courage gives us the opportunity to build the family we have always dreamed of. We thank you for even taking the time to read about and consider us.

Adoption has always been part of our plan. And you are helping us see this dream come true. There will never be enough thank yous.

Dear Expectant Parent,

Where do we even start? First, we want to start off by saying thank you for considering the gift of adoption. We cannot imagine what you are feeling right now as you contemplate what is the right choice for you and your baby. We pray that you find peace in making the right decision for both of you, whatever that may be. Your baby is already lucky to have a parent like you who cares so much about their future.

We have been trying to grow our family for many years without success. It's clear that the path to expanding our family is through opening our hearts to a child--and their birth family--through adoption. We hope that after you get to know us and our family through this book, you will be able to see that we are eager to raise your baby in our loving, safe, fun, healthy, nourishing, educational, and warm family. We pray that by getting to know us a little here, you will be able to tell whether we are the right family to love your baby.

Zareen & Matt

We're Jack and Emily.

We started dating in high school and have been together for over seventeen years. We moved in together after graduating from college in 2013. Since then, we've lived together in five houses in four cities and three different states. We moved once for work, once for grad school, once for a bigger yard, and once just for fun.

Dear Expectant Parent,

Thank you for taking the time to get to know us better! We understand that your decision to find the best family for your child is made selflessly and with great love. We admire your courage in creating an adoption plan. We look forward to connecting with you and hearing more about your hopes and dreams for the future of your child.

ADOPTION HAS ALWAYS BEEN CLOSE TO OUR HEARTS.

After a few years of trying to conceive a child with no success, we made the decision to pursue adoption. Nine years ago, we were blessed by the adoption of our first daughter Elsie. Four years after that, Charlotte was placed in our care. We are forever grateful for the way their remarkable first mothers entrusted us with these precious girls. While our story did not follow the path we initially expected, we are confident that our path through adoption is what God planned for us. We look forward to spending the next years of our lives walking this path with another child.

Thank you for considering adoption and choosing to read our family profile!We can't imagine what you're going through. However, you got here, the fact that you're considering adoption is a testament to you.We have our own biological child and understand that putting him first is sometimes a hard thing to do. On the flip side, we've learned that in order to be the best parent, we need to take care of ourselves first. It's a juggling act, but at the end of the day, every decision we make for our son and future child is to surround them with love, to protect, and to nourish.
