Hello! It is so nice to meet you. If you are reading this profile, you are considering placing a child for adoption. We don't know what circumstances brought you to this decision, but we know that this choice is not an easy one. We have so much respect for you and hope that you have someone in your life to support you in making the decision that is right for you.

We are hoping to grow our family through adoption because, quite simply, we want to be parents. We had always discussed adoption as a possibility. After trying to get pregnant for many years, we realized that biological children might not be part of our journey. We decided it was time to put ourselves out there and reach out to birth families just like you. We know that you have many profiles that you are looking at and we appreciate you taking the time to get to know us. In this profile, we hope that you will get a glimpse of who we are and how we live. We are supportive of whatever path you choose. If you choose us, we promise to offer a loving home for your child. We have so much love to give.

Hi there! Our names are Caleb and Maddy. We are a married couple residing in Washington State with our two dogs, Daisy and Sunny. We thank you for taking the time to get to know us, and we hope to get to know you soon as well! We also want to thank you for considering us in this process. We know this decision is not an easy one for you, and we admire your strength and courage in going this route. We want you to know that we wish the best for you and your baby, no matter what your decision is. We hope you enjoy looking through our profile book just as much as we enjoyed making it, and we can't wait to hear from you soon! With Love, Caleb & Maddy

Hello! We are Braden, Jordan, and Charlie (our dog) and we are excited to share love and belongingness with a new member of our family. We both work in education and live in an amazing, supportive, and diverse community that shares our values. A few things to know about us:

Family: We love and are embraced by our families. As a central part of our lives, they are excited to welcome a new member(s).

Education: We are both educators and believe in making sure all children are provided opportunities for the best education.

Fun/Celebrations/Friends: Our community is everything and the time we spend with others is a continual celebration of our differences and friendships that make our day-to-day lives even better.

We know you are potentially facing difficult decisions right now as you consider the possibility of adoption. We feel lucky you've read this far and hope you know how appreciative we are.

There are so many words that come to mind when we think of you: selfless, brave, loving, strong, compassionate, self-sacrificing....and the list goes on and on. Where do we begin to express how these words describe you? We stand in awe and genuine admiration and respect as we think of you and your circumstances. We have been praying for you and this child for a long time. We know this has to be one of, if not the most, difficult decisions that you have or will ever have to make. We are grateful that you will entrust us to raise your child. Thank you for considering us. Thank you for believing in us to raise a precious gift.

We feel so honored to be among the adoptive parents that you are considering. We want you to know that growing our family through adoption is our absolute first choice and not a last resort. We cannot begin to imagine the emotions you are feeling but what we are certain of is that you are incredibly brave. We are in awe of your strength as you move through these difficult decisions. We hope as you look through this book you will see the love we have for each other, our family and our friends. Words can barely express how excited and happy we are to open our hearts and home to a child!

We are deeply grateful for your consideration in this process. Your strength and courage in doing so showcase the values encapsulated within the human spirit. It takes an extraordinary person to start this journey and your selflessness will forever be etched into our hearts, from the bottom of which we thank you.

Our story begins with a neighborhood game of basketball and Jennifer's wonderful matchmaking Uncle Steve! He introduced us and we talked for hours. We connected instantly over our love of animals, Food Network cooking shows, and of course, basketball! Since then we have had many adventures and have 4 dogs we love very much. We'd like to tell you more about our life together and hope to one day learn more about you and your hopes and dreams for yourself and your child.

We're Brooke and Chris. Thank you so much for taking time to read our story. We can't imagine how hard these moments must be for you. But please know, you aren't alone. We've been praying for your peace on the journey, whichever direction you take. We pray that you are increasingly surrounded with kindness, support and clarity. And without a doubt, you have 2 people in us who want every single good thing that you want for your baby. We're cheering you on and praying for you and your sweet little one. Chris and I hope your tomorrow is filled with only the brightest days and your biggest dreams. We're on your side and we are for you.
