We want you to know that we recognize the magnitude of your decision and we do not take that for granted. We are eager to grow our family. For many years, God has been showing us that adoption is a part of his plan for us. We hope that this page will give you a glimpse into our lives and our character so that you can see how your child will be welcomed and loved deeply. It is our pledge to raise your child in a home filled with love, joy, and care. Laughter and playfulness will be integral to our home as we shoot hoops at the park, bake muffins together, and explore our state. Amidst the ups and downs of life, we commit to an unconditional love to each other and to each of our children that will not be altered by life circumstances. If you choose for your child to join our family, we look forward to getting to know you throughout the years. With care, Derek and Callae

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

Autumn and Zane
Hello and thank you for taking the time to look at our profile. We hope our personalities shine through and give you a glimpse into our life! We met in November of 2016 and quickly discovered that while our personalities might be opposites, we shared a deep connection on the things that truly matter—our faith, morals, and views of the world. Zane is quiet, calm, and a self-proclaimed nerd, while Autumn is talkative and outgoing. We’ve found that our differences perfectly balance us, keeping our lives fun and exciting! We got engaged on our one-year anniversary in November 2017 and were married on October 6, 2018. Our Life Together Our greatest joy is found in experiencing life together. We love to travel and explore new places, but we also cherish our time at home. You can often find us tackling home projects, whether it’s gardening or remodeling a room. Creating a peaceful and cozy environment in our home brings us so much happiness. We also love friendly competition with games, enjoy listening to music (even with our different tastes!), and were both self-taught on the guitar and drums. Weekends often involve getting creative with crafts like painting or making candles. We truly enjoy trying new things and sharing experiences, always learning and growing together.

We hope this page helps you get to know a little bit about us. If you choose us to parent your child, we would love to have as much of an open relationship with you and your family as you are comfortable with. Should you choose to place your child with us, we can promise that we will love that child unconditionally, we will read to them every day, and we will teach them that they are loved by God - no matter what. We imagine you have a lot on our mind as you figure out what is best for you and your child, and we hope that you will find clarity and peace as you make a decision. Here's some of our story: We met while attending grad school in Washington DC, and we've been married since 2011. We adopted our daughter, Maxine, in 2020 after experiencing several early miscarriages. We're both close with our parents, and we enjoy spending time with family, including Maxine's bio-family. We are ready to add another child to our family through adoption!

Jess and Joey
Thank you so much for viewing our family profile. We are an extremely blessed couple who recently celebrated our ten-year anniversary. After Joey graduated medical school through the Army, we married and moved to Texas and Washington State for his military commitments, but we are now back in Michigan surrounded by a huge family. Our best life change was starting our own little family, and Henry, age four, is the greatest thing to ever happen to us. The best thing we could ever give him is a sibling. He loves his "stuffies" but can't wait to teach a baby brother or sister all about construction vehicles, baking, books, and counting! We started researching the adoption process years ago even before our miracle of a son was born. We are at the best time in our lives to welcome yet another miracle. We believe that there is a higher power who guides where each child who enters this world belongs, and we are ready to welcome this most precious gift.

Thank you for taking the time to connect with us through our profile; we are very excited to share more about ourselves with you. In the years since our 2000 wedding, we have prayed that we would someday have the amazing opportunity to become parents. Adoption has always been something in our hearts and on our minds even throughout several years of unsuccessful fertility treatments. After seeing the joyous adoption path of others in our church and praying over the decision we are thrilled to be on our own unique journey.

Hi. My name is Jamie, and my son's name is Gabriel. The only words I can think of are Thank you. I feel love for you and will pray for you always. You are a Brave person to place your child for Adoption, possibly. The decision you are going to make is not easy. I am looking to share my love, life, family, and everything else with a child who will be joining our family and friends. I have a one-year-old son whom I was able to adopt, and would like to have one more child to complete our family. I have a huge support system behind me that is encouraging me. I am a single parent, but I have a wealth of love, kindness, and patience to share. I want to share my blessings and adventures with another child along with Gabriel and me. I will encourage them to be the "more" that they could be, have, and enjoy. May God guide you in your decision, give you the strength and grace throughout the process, and comfort you in your future steps.
