David and Silvia
We are Silvia and David. We want to start by telling you how much we deeply respect and admire you as you are considering adoption and choosing to bring your baby into this world. We’ve been trying to have children of our own for the last six years. We've gone through fertility treatments and consulted with a number of doctors but haven’t been successful. We have always been very interested in adoption. In fact, this is something we discussed even before getting married. For this reason, we feel very fortunate that you are checking our website and considering us as an option. We dream about being parents and having children to raise in a loving home! We have so much love to share with any child we're fortunate enough to be able to adopt.

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.

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

Justin and Kathleen
We are a couple whose journey to grow our family hasn’t looked the way we once imagined, but it has led us somewhere even more meaningful. After walking through the challenges of infertility, we discovered that while the path may be different, our dream of becoming parents has only grown stronger. Through every appointment, every hopeful moment, and every hard conversation, one thing has remained constant: our deep desire to love, nurture, and cherish a child with our whole hearts. Adoption is not our second choice, it is a beautiful and intentional calling. It is the way our story is meant to unfold. We have so much love ready to give, a home filled with warmth and laughter, and a life grounded in commitment, stability, and gratitude. The road here has shaped us into more patient, compassionate, and resilient people, and we know those qualities will guide us as parents. We promise a childhood full of bedtime stories, kitchen dance parties, scraped knees kissed better, and traditions that make ordinary days feel special. Most of all, we promise unconditional love that is steady, unwavering, and lifelong. We are ready to welcome a precious child into our arms and into a family where they will always know they were deeply wanted, thoughtfully chosen, and endlessly loved.

We have been together for six years, married for five. We are so excited to share our love with a little one, and with Josh himself being adopted, this just seemed like the natural path for us to take to grow our family together.

Jamie
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.

Colin and Wendy
We love each other and the idea of building our family. Unable to have children of our own due to unexplained infertility, we were surprised to hear of being pregnant. God had other plans and our baby miscarried. We feel we are to redirect our focus on adoption and look forward to meeting the little one that He wants to place in our lives. Colin is a loyal family member, friend, and colleague. He is well respected in our community and at work. Colin is "all boy". He loves to watch football, baseball, hockey, and lacrosse. He enjoys playing ice hockey, skiing, snowboarding, tennis and riding bikes. Colin enjoys our sweet neighbors and their children. We have eight children on our block! Many run up to greet him when he comes home from work. Colin is kind hearted, gentle, slow to anger and sweet spirited by nature. Colin is an outstanding husband and would make an incredible dad. Wendy loves to dream big and sets lofty goals for herself. She has accomplished her goals and loves to set new ones on a regular basis. She works hard and encourages others around her raise the bar for themselves. Wendy has such a loyal and kind heart. She is such a blessing to our friends and families. She loves to travel and she has seen the world. Wendy is a good steward of our resources, gifts, has such a light heart and loves to laugh. She laughs with me, at me, and for me. This has been such a blessing to our marriage. She is an outstanding wife that displays love to me and will embody that same love to a child.

Hello! Thank you for taking the time to learn about our family. As you can see from the pictures, we are silly, adventurous, and love to laugh. We are blessed with an amazing extended family- one never knows what kind of mischief we can get into. Steven and I have been married for 17 years. We welcomed our son, Sam, into the fold in 2017 and Ellie in 2025. They are our greatest blessing. We love with our whole hearts and will welcome another baby with open arms. We can only imagine how difficult this decision is for you. We want you to know we admire the courageous, selfless, loving steps you are taking for your precious child. If you consider us to parent your child, we will love your child and you, unconditionally. We will make sure they always know how loved they are by us and you. Please know with us, your baby will be loved, safe, and supported.
