Are you facing an unplanned pregnancy?

Francesco and Rossella

We are both from Southern Italy, Francesco from Puglia and Rossella from Basilicata. We met during our college years, while Francesco was studying Agriculture and Rossella Chemistry. We started dating and we felt at home with each other. After getting married, we lived for three years in Bari, a city along the Adriatic Coast where many of our friends lived. After our first year of marriage, we discovered that having children would be difficult for us and Francesco asked Rossella: "All this love that we have and want to give where will it finally go?" This deep question became crucial for us. We were both working at the University when Francesco received a job offering from a University in Florida. We decided to move to the USA without imagining what was awaiting us, and a beautiful adventure began. We lived for three years in Florida where Francesco worked as a horticulture research scientist and Rossella as an elementary and middle school Montessori teacher. Then we moved again when Francesco became a professor in Central Pennsylvania and Rossella started working as a secondary school teacher. We are very grateful for these years of marriage in which we had a very rich life and met many friends from all around the world. Among them, we encountered some families that had welcomed children through adoption, and looking at their experience full of love, we started thinking about adopting. Francesco's question, "All this love that we have and want to give where will go in the end?" became a prophecy and a foretelling of our desire to adopt a child.

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!

Jesse and Shelby

Our hearts are full of admiration for the loving decision you are hoping to make for your child. We want you to know that we are praying for you. We pray you feel God's guidance, presence and peace throughout this journey. May you find comfort in knowing that no decision we make can change the plans God ultimately already has for each of us and the ones we love. We want you to know that if you decide to move forward with making an adoption plan, this is not the end but only the beginning of a lifelong journey. You are loved and God has incredible plans for you. If we are a part of that plan, we are SO excited to meet you! No matter the decision you choose know that you are being held up in prayer to a God who loves you so much!

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.

Daniel and Leona

Dear Friend, We are excited to share a little about our life with you and look forward to meeting you. We are praying that you feel God's presence as you go through life's journey, both now and in the future. Welcome to our family profile.

Sarah and Michael

Hi, we're Mike and Sarah! We have been together since 2009 and have been married since 2013. We look forward to becoming parents! We trust God will guide all of us through this difficult and emotional process. We hope this profile helps you learn about our family. We've lived in a few different states, but we've found a true home in mid-Michigan. We look forward to building our family through adoption and seeing what God has in store for us in the years to come.

Cora and Josh

Dear Expectant Parents, Hello! We are Josh and Cora and we are very excited to meet you. We are so grateful and thankful for you and your choice to make an adoption plan for your baby. We know this is an important decision for the baby but it is also important to you too. We admire the strength and courage it takes from you to make this decision. Know that we are lifting you up to God in prayer for wisdom, peace and clarity on this journey. 9 years ago, Josh’s brother set us up on a blind date. About a year later, we were married. We have 2 dogs, Tod and Breslin, and a flock of chickens. We both have large families and they are our rock. We are very family oriented and often find ourselves hanging with family whether it be at weekly recaps and snacks on Friday after work or having coffee and cookies after church on Sunday at Grandma’s house. In the summer, we often find ourselves in some sporting competition outside with our nieces and nephews. Why do we want to adopt? We have always dreamed of starting a family of our own. Over the last 4 years we have struggled with loss and infertility, but our marriage and faith in God has grown stronger. We cannot wait to welcome a baby into our life. We imagine sharing homemade pizza nights, basketball Saturdays, summer ice cream dates, and just lazy nights reading stories on the couch with our kids. We promise to you that your child will be loved, not only by us but by our family, church family and community as well. Your child will grow up in a Christian home. We plan to celebrate your child’s heritage. Your love and courage will be known by your child and we hope to build a relationship with you. Thank you for considering us for your child and we hope that we get to meet you and start this journey together! With love, Josh and Cora

Josh and Nicala

Hello! We are Josh and Nicala. We first connected in 2017 thanks to some mutual friends and the magic of the internet! Fast forward to February 2020, just before the world went full-on upside-down, we got engaged. And by January 2021, we said I do and officially kicked off our forever adventure. Our little family includes two adorable fur-babies: Colt, our treat-loving yellow lab who never runs out of energy, and Mavis, our sassy (but sweet) domestic shorthair cat who thinks she runs the house. We are lovers of the great outdoors and cozy nights in. Whether we're hiking a trail, planning our next adventure, or binging the latest Netflix show, we're all about finding joy in the big moments and the little ones. We are big fans of summer sunshine, breakfast foods, game nights, and time well spent with friends and family. If it involves fun, food, or a bit of adventure, we're in!

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

We know this journey takes strength, and we deeply respect the love behind your decision. Adoption is close to our hearts in a very personal way — Rob is adopted, and it's shaped him into the caring, empathetic person he is today. 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.
