JJ + Lo
Hi there! We're JJ and Lo! Along with our sons Miles (6) and Wesley (2.5) we are SO excited to continue growing our family through adoption! When we're not gathering with JJ's enormous family (15 cousins & counting!) or visiting Lo's family at the beach in California, we're often hosting friends for a cookout or exploring the lake by our house. Wherever we are, we just love being together. The boys' birth moms blessed our socks off when they chose us to be the boys' parents - you too are creating a beautiful legacy and you should be so so proud. You got this!

A mother's love for her child is nurturing, patient, kind, protective, forgiving, and lifelong. Your ability to put those feelings aside for the better of your child is the most amazing sacrifice and act of kindness, love, and protection that I could ever know. I commend you for your courage and for the incredible sacrifice that you are embarking on out of truly unconditional love. If chosen to be your child's adoptive parent, I vow to embrace them with an abundance of love and support for their eternal life. I promise to demonstrate an unconditional love that will comfort and cradle their hearts and spirit. My commitment to you is to protect, guide and love them with my entire heart and to ensure that they know that God loves them even more. My family, friends, and daughter Madeline are ready to embrace this bundle of joy into our lives; and to build a lifelong bond while making memories to last a lifetime. Thank you for considering me to be your child's adoptive parent and to embrace the blessing that I have prayed for.

Mary + Andrew
Hello!
We want to first thank you for taking the time to get to know us. While we do not know the exact circumstance that brought you to Gladney, we are glad you are here. We understand there are many difficult choices ahead on your journey. Our hope for you through this process is to find peace, hope and understanding, whether you decided to parent or create an adoption plan.
As we start this adoption journey, we are also filled with so many different emotions. We are excited for this new chapter in our lives and the possibility of becoming parents, but we would be lying if we didn't say there is still a little anxiety in the unknown. What we do know is that we are ready to bring a child into our home. Should you choose us as adoptive parents, know that our hearts and our home are open to you and your family. No matter where this journey may take you, know that our thoughts and prayers are with you.
With love, Mary and Andrew

Hello,
Can we start this off by acknowledging that this is unusual yet exciting? We are fully aware that it is not just odd from our end, but from yours as well. As we sit here in our living room, thinking of all the ways to introduce ourselves, we cannot help but think about you too. We imagine you flipping through countless books, exploring the stories of different families, all in search of the perfect match for your precious little one. It is a tough decision, we would imagine. But please know that we are here, eagerly awaiting the chance to meet you and hoping that, through our words, you can get a clear and honest glimpse into who we are as a family. So, take your time, we understand the weight of your choice, and know that we are excited to start this journey with you.

Take a moment to take a deep breath, sit down, and get comfortable. We imagine that you are on quite the journey right now. A journey that you might not have predicted for yourself.
Families can be made in many different ways. We have the perspective now of looking back on our family and have seen, experienced, and loved a child that became our son through adoption. We have seen the beauty in this bumpy path. Adoption can come with so many complicated emotions, but it can also be a very beautiful thing. We are forever grateful for our son's birth parents, and in our eyes they are heroes. We wanted to share this perspective with you in hopes that it offers comfort during a time that may feel anything but comfortable.

Iliana + Rey
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!
