Jenn
Dear Friend, Let me begin by saying how humbled I am that you are taking the time to look through my profile. The amount of love, courage, and bravery it takes to walk the path you are choosing is found in very few people. I am praying for you and your child, that you would have wisdom, peace, and confidence in the decisions you are making. While adoption may not be what most people see for their future, it has always been the way I hoped to have a family one day. It would be such a privilege to be able to love and raise a child as my own. They will always know their story and how much you love them. I will always speak highly of you and will always do what is in their best interest. I will always point your child toward Jesus and walk with them as they develop a relationship with Him. This will be through everyday life at home, going to church on Sundays, attending church activities throughout the year, attending a Christian school, living in a community that values faith, and being around family and friends that have the same beliefs and values as I do. In my home your child will come to know 3 things. First, we love Jesus. Second, we are kind. Third, we have fun! Love, Jenn

Garth and Jennifer
Hello! We are Jennifer and Garth. Thank you for taking time to look through our profile. We can't imagine what you are going through as you consider an adoption plan for your baby. We realize this will be one of the most difficult decisions and our hope in reviewing our profile page it will help you understand our life as a family and us as parents. We always knew we wanted a big family and the journey of doing so hasn't been easy. However, we realized God's plan is always working and you have to continue having faith and hope. That faith and hope brought us to welcome our daughter into our family through adoption, which has been the biggest blessing in our lives so far. We hope to continue growing our family through adoption and to show our children support, encouragement, celebrations of milestones and achievements, encouragement with smiles, hugs and laughter, encouragement for them to be their true selves, the ability to build their confidence and most of all LOVE.

Kevin and Lorraine
Hello! Thank you for taking the time to look at our profile. We hope it provides an honest look into our lives and the life we would provide for your child. After many years of infertility, we realized God had a different plan for us and felt led to adoption. We were blessed with our first adopted daughter, Isabella, in 2024 and would be so grateful to continue growing our family. Your child would be such a welcomed and loved addition to our family. If we are chosen as parents, we promise to... - Provide a home full of joy, and laughter (we love to be silly and joke around!) - Offer guidance, support, and unconditional love during the good and difficult times in life - Nurture all family and friend relationships - Teach them to know and love God And we believe that a child deserves all of this not only as a child but into adulthood as well. We understand that placing your child for adoption is a life changing decision. Our goal is to make you feel as comfortable and supported as possible during this journey and we look forward to getting to know you now and in the years to come. Please know that we (and many others!) are praying for you and your child daily. Love, Kevin and Lorraine

Eileen and Rob
We’re Rob and Eileen — a loving, grounded couple who believe in kindness, laughter, and building a life full of purpose and connection. Thank you for taking the time to learn more about us. We know this journey takes strength, and we deeply respect the love behind your decision. Adoption is close to our hearts in a very personal way — Rob is adopted, and it's shaped him into the caring, empathetic person he is today. That experience gives us a special understanding and deep appreciation for the lifelong bond that adoption creates. Together, we’ve built a home filled with warmth, humor, and unwavering support. We're best friends, partners in every sense, and ready to open our hearts and lives to a child. We look forward to offering a life filled with love, laughter, and endless encouragement.

Nathan and Audreyanna
Dear Expectant Family, We know you must be processing a lot right now as you contemplate the best decisions for you, your family, and this growing baby. So, while we don’t know all that you are feeling as you imagine a future for both you and this child, we want to extend grace (whether you decide to parent or create an adoption plan) and we pray that you are able to find peace through support and community. We are Audreyanna and Nathan (and Rose!). We met in 2009, got married in 2014, and have been growing together ever since. Even before getting married, we had discussed growing our family through adoption in some way. Audreyanna’s family adopted her sister (now in her 20’s) and so adoption had been on Audreyanna’s heart from a young age. In 2023, Rose was born and placed with us. We've seen the benefit firsthand to an open-adoption and if you choose an adoption plan, we would be honored to live in relationship with you and your child. We truly mean that! It's been a joy to regularly spend time with Rose's birth family and in doing so, better understand Rose's story. We will continue to pray for you, and others, who are faced with making these tough decisions. You are loved, Audreyanna and Nathan

Emily and Ryan
We want you to know how much love and respect we feel for you already. We cannot imagine what a difficult decision this is for you and we are praying for you daily. We pray that you would have the strength and the courage that you need, and, above all else, that you would feel the unconditional love of God. We hope that you will find us to be all that you hope for your child. Thank you for taking the time to learn about our family and for considering us as you make this difficult decision. We hope that you will be able to feel the love we have for each other, our kids, family and friends, our future child and for you. We absolutely love being parents and we can’t wait for our family to grow. Our son and daughter are overjoyed at the possibility of having a little sibling.

Francesco and Rossella
We are both from Southern Italy, Francesco from Puglia and Rossella from Basilicata. We met during our college years, while Francesco was studying Agriculture and Rossella Chemistry. We started dating and we felt at home with each other. After getting married, we lived for three years in Bari, a city along the Adriatic Coast where many of our friends lived. After our first year of marriage, we discovered that having children would be difficult for us and Francesco asked Rossella: "All this love that we have and want to give where will it finally go?" This deep question became crucial for us. We were both working at the University when Francesco received a job offering from a University in Florida. We decided to move to the USA without imagining what was awaiting us, and a beautiful adventure began. We lived for three years in Florida where Francesco worked as a horticulture research scientist and Rossella as an elementary and middle school Montessori teacher. Then we moved again when Francesco became a professor in Central Pennsylvania and Rossella started working as a secondary school teacher. We are very grateful for these years of marriage in which we had a very rich life and met many friends from all around the world. Among them, we encountered some families that had welcomed children through adoption, and looking at their experience full of love, we started thinking about adopting. Francesco's question, "All this love that we have and want to give where will go in the end?" became a prophecy and a foretelling of our desire to adopt a child.

Dear Friend, We cannot imagine what you may be going through or what has led you to make this decision but please know you are not alone and that you are incredibly brave. We pray that God sends angels to surround you with love at this time and that you feel seen and heard. God has brought you to this very moment as part of His divine plan to care for you and show you His unending blessings for your life. He has brought us together for this very reason. We applaud you for making adoption your decision. We have been praying for a baby for many years and we can’t tell you how grateful we are for you. You are truly SPECIAL, STRONG, SELFLESS, and LOVED. We promise to do everything in our control to provide a loving, nurturing, joyful life for your precious little one. We will flood everything we have into loving this baby, and with your help, they will grow up knowing how exquisite they are, how celebrated they are to us and how loved they are by you. Wayne and I (Leah) have been wanting to start a family for many years and our dream is finally coming true. Your baby will be loved beyond measure. Love, Wayne and Leah
