First, we would like to thank you for taking the time to get to know us and learn about our family. We are incredibly honored and grateful for your consideration in choosing us to be your baby's adoptive parents. Whatever the circumstances are for you, we can imagine this decision is difficult and overwhelming. We are thinking of you during this time. We are here without judgment to embark on this journey with you as we all take these next steps in life. Thank you for taking the time to read about us!

Hello,

We are Jonathan and Kacey, and we are truly honored that you are taking the time to read our book and learn about our family. Wherever you are in this moment, we want you to know that we have deep respect for you. We understand that this season may feel uncertain, and we acknowledge the courage it takes to explore your options and consider what you want in this moment.

Because Kacey was adopted as a baby, we understand that adoption is not just a single event; it is a lifelong story. If you choose adoption and choose us to parent your child, we promise that we will love them wholeheartedly and unconditionally. We will create a home where they feel safe, cherished, and encouraged to grow into a healthy and thriving adult. We are committed to honoring your child's birth story with openness and respect, and to speaking about you with kindness and gratitude.

We are also open to an ongoing relationship in whatever way feels right to you. We would love to share photos, updates, and meaningful moments, and we would welcome a connection that supports your child and respects your comfort and boundaries. We believe a child can never have too much love.

Our child will grow up surrounded by steady love, adventure, laughter, good food, music, and the support of close friends and family who are ready to open their arms. Thank you for considering our family and for allowing us to share a little of our hearts with you.

Hi there,

As we sit down to make this profile for you, it's hard to believe that we could be writing a letter to someone who could become one of the most important people in our lives. It's a bit strange and very emotional. How could we possibly know what to say?

We're sure that you're also full of feelings that are hard to put into words. And lots of questions. Maybe this profile will help you find some answers.

We hope this is the start of a special relationship with you -- on your terms -- if and when you feel ready.

For us, it would mean the beginning of a new family. A dream come true. But we know that your feelings are more complicated than we could ever imagine.

You have big decisions to make for you and your baby. Trust in yourself. Only you know what's best.

No matter what, we wish you all the love and support in the world.

Sincerely,

JACKIE & GARRET

The Begining

In 2016, on Ally's birthday, we met. She was 18, and Cole was 20. From the moment we crossed paths, we knew it was something special--love at first sight. We couldn't imagine being apart, and soon, we were introducing each other to our families. Everything just fell into place.

A year later, Ally moved into Cole's cozy downtown apartment, and we started building our life together. After a while, we decided to plant our roots and bought a home in South City, close to our jobs.

In 2019, after three amazing years together, Cole proposed, and Ally became his forever. Our love story was just beginning, and we couldn't wait to see where it would take us.

Thank you for taking a moment to read our story. We know that the path you're on right now is filled with many emotions and questions, and we want you to know how deeply we respect you and the love you have for your child. Whatever you decide, we hope you feel supported, respected, and confident in your choice. Thank you for your courage and for sharing this part of your journey.

Dear Expectant Parent,

First of all, we would like to thank you for taking the time to look at our book, and get to know us. We can only imagine the strength and love it takes to consider adoption for your child, and we hope you know who deeply we respect and admire your courage.

We have dreamed of becoming parents, not just to raise a child, but to offer them a home filled with love, laughter, support, and stability. Our journey to this point has been filled with hope, reflection, and a deep desire to build a family through adoption.

If we have the privilege of raising your child, we promise to surround them with unconditional love, strong values, and every opportunity to grow into whomever they're meant to be.

No matter the path you choose for your child, we send so much love, strength, and peace as you navigate this journey.

For this child, we have PRAYED. 1 Samuel 1:27

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

We are Liz and Bryan, and we're thrilled to share our story with you. We honestly admire your courage so much. Please know that we are holding you close to our hearts as you navigate this difficult time. For the last six years, we have been dreaming of and actively trying to grow our family. We want you to know that your child will step into a world of endless cuddles, laughter, stability, and unconditional love. We will cherish them completely. We are waiting patiently, but with so much love to give!
