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.

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.

Calvin and Carol
It is a pleasure to introduce ourselves to you! We are so thrilled to embark on our fourth adoption journey! We are a family with three adopted children and two dogs. Our home is happy, bustling with activity, and full of love. We love spending time together and laughing as a family. Some of our favorite things to do together are travelling, going for walks, reading, and spending time outdoors. We hope this gives you a glimpse of what we are like. We don't pretend to understand what a significant decision this is for you. We admire your bravery and strength, and we are praying for your peace and wisdom as you begin this journey. We enjoy an ongoing relationship with the birth moms and birth dads of our daughter and youngest son, and our older son has a closed adoption. We respect whatever openness choice you make. We have always loved children, and adoption has been on our hearts for a long time. We found out that we were unable to have biological children, and through this process, God has been faithful to us. He has shown us that He has plans for our lives and our family that are better than we could imagine. We are very excited to welcome another child into our home through adoption, knowing that all children are beautiful blessings from above.

Paul and Melissa
Hello, Thank you for viewing our profile and considering us for your child. We are Paul and Melissa and we live in Southeast Michigan. We have been married for 16 years. We met in high school at a basketball game and continued dating through college. We got married and bought our first home in 2005. We enjoy watching movies, eating out, being with family and traveling. We have always wanted to have a big family. We welcomed our first daughter Samantha in 2012. She was the first grandchild on both sides of our families. We wanted another child and after experiencing infertility issues, we decided to explore adoption. Paul and his sister are both adopted and it opened up the conversation about what that journey looks like. We were excited and blessed to have Daniella become apart of our family through infant adoption in 2019. Both girls are absolutely wonderful and bring us so much happiness. They are each other's biggest fans and are excited to welcome another sibling. We wanted to expand our family through adoption again. We want to thank you for considering Adoption as a path for your child. We believe God will guide your heart to the best decision for you and for your child.

Finding peace through open adoption
“Bethany made my adoption journey the best choice for me and those I care for. Three different families have become one because of the love and respect that we share—and I’ve found my place as a birth mom in each one of them.”
- Tamara
"When I was pregnant and pursuing an adoption plan, people told me I needed to ask forgiveness for “abandoning my child.” They wanted me to feel ashamed, but Bethany helped take the sting out of their words by reassuring me I had no reason to feel shame. Now my vision is to keep telling this story so other birth moms know they’re not alone.”
- Gloria
“Ten years ago, I was pregnant for the first time, and I was in jail. Making an adoption plan for my son didn’t mean I loved him any less; I just didn’t want my child to end up in the system. My life circumstances wouldn’t mean a life sentence for him.”
- Tamara
"When I found out I was pregnant with twins at age 18, I didn’t know where to turn. I thought, ‘How am I going to become the mom I want to be?’ Bethany helped provide care for my boys while I found a stable job. Today, my boys are thriving in my home.”
- Brijon
“Today, I am substance-free. I’m married with two biological children and two stepchildren. And I still have thoughts and emotions to process about that difficult time in my life, including my decision to make an adoption plan. That’s an experience most people just don’t understand."
- Gloria
