AJ

Hi! I'm AJ. This profile will be a window into my life, who I am, and everything in between. I originally started this adoption journey with my wife Rachel. We shared the dream of becoming parents and were excited to grow our family through adoption. Sadly, she passed away from cancer which has been an incredibly difficult loss. Before she passed, we talked a lot about our hopes of becoming parents, and continuing this journey is a way of honoring that dream we shared. While life has taken an unexpected turn, my desire to be a loving and dedicated father has only grown stronger. I'm fortunate to have a close and supportive family and group of friends who are excited to welcome and love a child alongside me.

Hello, We are Tom and Kristin and we thank you for taking the time to learn more about our family. We know and honor that the decision to make an adoption plan for your child is one that is filled with complex emotions. We have been praying for your peace and comfort. We believe Jesus came to this world to bring healing and hope and it is our prayer that he does this for you as well.

We hope this profile adds to your peace knowing that we are ready to provide a loving and caring home where your child can thrive.

Whether we are chosen or not, we want to let you know how mazing and selfless your decision is. We can’t imagine how difficult this time is and the struggle you are going through.

Dan and Alana

Hi! We're glad you found yourself on our Family Profile. Our names are Dan and Alana. Since our first conversations about our future family - back when we were dating in college - we've always known that adoption would be in the picture. We believe that we were all adopted into God's family when we were in a time of need and we want our family to reflect that model. After getting married and taking some time to grow our relationship with each other, we've found that we are longing to give ourselves to a new family member. We are excited to start our family with and through adoption! We are also excited to get to know a family that would trust us to adopt their child, and look forward to starting a long and lasting relationship built on loving and caring for this little one together. We hope that you will consider whether your child could be a part of our family's story.

Josh and Jenn

Hello! We are Josh and Jenn and we're looking forward to meeting you! Know that we think of and pray for you almost daily. We know what it is for life to take unexpected directions, for plans to shift, for dreams to be interrupted. Having kids has always been part of our plan and dream, and yet God has not fulfilled that dream in the way we originally expected. But we understand God's design and timing is always better, and we are excited to grow our family through adoption. Our philosophy has always been rooted in creating an environment and home where all are welcomed and loved. Adoption is something we always talked about as part of that philosophy. We’ve built our lives around creating strong community connections, friends as extended family, and an open door to our home for all. For our community, our house is a front porch for chatting, a front yard for badminton, a hill for playing tag, a driveway for sidewalk chalk, a walkway for blowing bubbles, a rock wall for driving toy cars, a garden for kids to help water plants and pick flowers, a living room for ladies book club, a kitchen for sharing delicious meals or baked goods, a back porch for late night conversation. We have “adopted” the families in our community - adults and children alike - our home is their home. This same philosophy is why we have become the gathering spot for our surrounding family. We are excited about the possibility of adding to that family through adoption and creating a space to welcome a child (and eventually, hopefully multiple children!) into our home. That said, we also want you to know that the weight of the decision you are making–the sacrifice–is not lost on us. Our own experience to start a family with infertility has taken us through deep emotions and many tears. Sometimes it’s the hardest moments in life that remind us to trust in all circumstances that God has a plan, through mountains and through valleys. We hope you are part of God’s plan for us, and that we are part of God’s plan for you and your child!

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

Johnathan and Laurel

Hello! Thank you for taking a look at our family as you consider the right decision for you and your child. After wrestling with infertility for several years, we are so excited to continue to grow our family through adoption. We had the wonderful opportunity to meet our first daughter, Evelyn, right after she was born in October of 2024. Shortly after, we formally adopted her in February of 2025. She has always been adventurous, curious, and full of life and energy. She's brave and daring and also a huge fan of showing love and care. Throughout our profile, we know we haven't shown very much of her face in our profile, a purposeful choice for protecting her, but hope we have also given some insight into our family world and her part in that. We pray that God will bless you on your journey as well. We wanted to give you a glimpse into our world - our relationships, our values, our home, and our hobbies. We hope that this will help you imagine what it could be like for you and your child to join our family.

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.
