Are you facing an unplanned pregnancy?

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

RYAN and Bethany

Dear Birthparent(s), Hello! Thank you so much for taking the time to learn a little about us. We met when we were 16 and 18, began dating a year later, and were married by the time we were 21 and 22. Over the years, we’ve built meaningful careers—Ryan works primarily in Nuclear Chemistry, and Bethany in Physical and Occupational Therapy. After welcoming our son, Ellis, Bethany shifted to part-time work to be more present for him and plans to stay home full-time once we grow to a family of four. We have felt called to adoption since we married in 2012 and are excited about the possibility of welcoming a second child into our family as a younger sibling to Ellis. Our hope as parents is to raise children who feel confident, secure, and deeply loved. We are committed to a home rooted in honesty and openness, where our child will always know they are adopted and understand the great love their birth parent(s) have for them. Our life together has been full of both joy and heartache. We’ve been blessed to travel the world together, and we’ve also experienced deep loss, including the passing of Ryan’s dad and our infant nephew. These experiences have shaped who we are, strengthening our trust in God and deepening our gratitude, compassion, and kindness. We truly value creating a warm, welcoming home. We love hosting friends and family for game nights and big shared meals, and our days are centered around balance, work we care about, time together, and being present with our son. In the evenings, once Ellis is asleep, you’ll usually find us curled up on the couch with a fire going, watching reality TV or the occasional horror movie. During the day, we enjoy long walks downtown, trips to the park, and simply being together as a family. Ryan loves hunting, fishing, and tending to his native wildflower garden, and he can’t wait to share those passions with his children. Bethany loves reading, writing, and discovering new experiences, and she looks forward to bringing the whole family along on future adventures. Thank you again for allowing us to share our story. As parents ourselves, we know there are no words that can fully express the love between a parent and child. We are deeply humbled by your strength and courage in considering adoption for your baby. Throughout this journey, we have prayed for the person who would give life to our child, and we will continue to pray for your comfort, peace, and clarity as you make this incredibly meaningful decision. With gratitude and love, Ryan & Bethany

Jason and Cecilia

Hello! First of all, thank you for taking time to learn about who we are as a couple and what kind of home we would provide for a child. We know this may be a difficult and confusing time for you, filled with decisions, and we have been praying each day for you to feel confident in whatever decision you make for your sweet little baby. We are in awe of the strength, the courage, and the love it takes to consider adoption. We are so thankful that you would consider us as a potential home for your child and we hope this book sheds light on who we are as a family! Love, the Hills

Tim and Amanda

We are so honored and grateful to you for taking the time to look through our profile. We cannot fully imagine the weight of the decisions you are making right now, but our deepest hope is that you feel deeply cared for, respected, and supported on this journey. As you read our story, we hope you can picture the life your child would experience with us—a life filled with warmth, laughter, and endless unconditional love. You will always be a part of your child and their story, and your immense love for them is something we will celebrate every single day. We strongly believe a child can never have too many people who love them, and we would welcome the opportunity to develop a relationship with you over the years, at whatever pace feels right to you. If you select us as the adoptive family for your child, please know that we will work endlessly to ensure they are raised with the consistency, devoted care, and unwavering support they need to flourish and thrive.

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.

Summer and Alex

Hi there! First off, we truly want to express how bold and courageous we believe you to be for choosing life and for potentially going through this process to make an adoption plan for your baby. We see your heart and we thank God for placing you here to take even a peek at our page to learn a little bit more about us as a family. Thank you for weighing us as a potential home for your sweet baby. We promise to raise your baby up to most importantly know the Lord and, in tandem, always know what love and fun is. Though we are new to the adoption world, we are not new to parenting and we are grateful for the excitement and devotion we have to parent another sweet child. We believe adoption is such a beautiful picture of what the Lord has done for us as we have been adopted into His family (Galatians‬ ‭4‬:‭4‬-‭7‬) We look forward to meeting you and coming alongside you in this process.

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!

Calvin and Carol

It is a pleasure to introduce ourselves to you! We are so thrilled to embark on our fifth adoption journey! We are a family with four adopted children and two dogs. Our home is happy, bustling with activity, and full of love. We love spending time together as family. Some of our favorite things to do together are traveling, going for walks, reading, and spending time outdoors. We hope this gives you a glimpse of what we are like, knowing this is a significant decision for you. We admire your bravery and strength, and we are praying for you as you begin this journey. We enjoy an ongoing relationship with the birth moms and birth dads of our daughters 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 shown us that His plans for our family 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.
