Waiting Families
Carlos and Jill
We cannot put into words how grateful we are to you for taking the time to learn about us as part of your adoption plan. While all of us have come to this place in our lives by different paths and for different reasons, we all have the opportunity to change each one of our lives for the better. We truly praise you for your selfless, courageous, and loving act that you are performing. You represent what is truly great about us as human beings, and we only can hope that you will see all that we have to offer a child. more ...
Casey and Hilary
Hello! We are Casey and Hilary. Thank you for taking the time to get to know us a little better. We can only imagine what a difficult time this must be for you. We realized that it takes tremendous courage—and a great love for your baby—to make a decision to consider adoption for your child. We want you to be as comfortable as possible with your decision, and we want you to have the peace of mind that your baby will be placed in a loving, caring, and nurturing home. We always knew we wanted more children and adoption was something we talked about right away. Though we have experienced infertility we knew that adoption was meant for us. We hope to one day adopt more children to create a multicultural family. As a family we embrace what makes each of us different and unique in our own ways. We know God has a plan for everything, it is just for us to have faith in Him. more ...
Chris and Shannon
Dear Birthparent(s), We would first like to say thank you! Thank you for putting the best interest of your child first. By opening up your child to adoption you have already made a positive impact on your child’s life. We cannot begin to imagine what you are going through right now. As if pregnancy was not physically and emotionally taxing enough, you have to decide whom you can trust to raise and take care of the child you are carrying. The only thing that we can think of that may be close to what you are experiencing right now is knowing that you can never have children. This is a fact of life that Shannon has faced since she was born. As teachers we have committed ourselves to helping the children of others learn and grow. Now we are ready to take all of the compassion that we have for other people’s children and focus it on a child in our own home. We solemnly vow to do everything in our power to make sure that the child that you are carrying grows up to be a strong, intelligent, compassionate person. Thank you once again. more ...
Christian and Patricia
Thank you for taking the time to read our profile. Though we have yet to meet, we care deeply for you and your baby. It’s hard to imagine the difficult decisions you will have to make in the days ahead, and we respect and admire you for considering adoption. If you choose us to be parents, we hope that you will take comfort in knowing that you have placed your child with a loving couple that has wanted to become a family for a long time. After dealing with the ups and downs of infertility for many years it became clear to us that becoming parents was more important than having a biological connection to our child, and we turned to adoption. We thank you for considering us as prospective parents to your child, and hope you’ll like to learn more about us. more ...
Craig and Heather
Thank you for taking the time to read our profile. Five years ago, we began our own adoption journey with Adoption Associates, and in 2007, a terrific little girl joined our family. That process truly gave us a respect and appreciation for the courage birthparents have and the challenges you face in making an adoption plan. We hope the chance to give your child a future full of opportunity and love brings you comfort during this difficult time. We would like to adopt another child and share a loving family, security, and wonderful experiences with him or her. Please know that we will be thinking of you and all birthparents. Thank you for considering adoption and especially us to parent your baby. We wish you a healthy pregnancy and much happiness in the future. more ...
Craig and Kristina
YOU... we are all about you. It is you giving birth to a beautiful child; you who is taking the time to learn about us to bless your child with two loving people for parents. It is through your unconditional love and strength that our worlds will collide and life will have a new tale to tell. We dearly desire to become parents, and we hope to share a moment of your time about this dream of ours. Our infertility has placed us in a position where we are unable to carry children safely due to a genetic disorder. While this has not been the easiest road to travel, it has reinforced how committed we are to one another and to our wish of becoming a family. As college instructors we will have the ability to guide a child as he/she grows into the best they can be. Adoption has already blessed our lives through Craig’s own adoption as an infant, and we realize you are doing the hardest part of this journey, which is connecting us into an arc: you, us and a beautiful child. Please know you are cherished and that we truly appreciate you. more ...
Dan and Alison
Hello! We are very thankful that you are taking the time to look at our profile. We are Dan and Alison, and we met about nine years ago through mutual friends. As soon as Alison saw Dan, she knew there was something about him that made him stand out from the others. He was funny, charming, smart, successful, and, as she would find out later, he really knew how to cook a delicious dinner! Dan immediately recognized Alison as a confident, fun-loving, generous, easy to talk to person, and we hit it off pretty quickly. Here are some of the things we value: We believe that education can open doors and expand possibilities, therefore our child will have an excellent education, including college. Exercise and healthy eating are a way of life for us. Having fun together makes us appreciate each other even more. We enjoy spending time with our friends and learning about their lives. We show affection to each other in big and small ways, daily. We balance work with play, and seriousness with amusement. We feel extremely fortunate that Alison will be able to stay at home to raise our child. Most of all, we put family first, and we always set aside time to be with each other and our families. more ...
Dan and Kristen
Dear Birthmother, Our names are Dan and Kristen and we would like to take this time to thank you for looking at our profile and allowing us a few moments to introduce ourselves to you. We have been married for six years, but have been a part of each other’s lives for eleven. Shortly after marriage we became excited at the prospect of starting a family. Through infertility and the many procedures we endured, the doors to having a family seemed closed, but we quickly realized they were just opening. In 2006 we were blessed with the adoption of a beautiful baby girl and at that moment we knew that adoption was God’s plan for us. There are no words to express the excitement and hope we have gained from you as you have given us the gift of considering us as adoptive parents to your child. We cannot possibly understand the overwhelming emotions and anxiety you must be feeling during this time in your life. We may seem as if we are strangers, though through the many tears, pain, and feelings of hopelessness, our paths have brought us together to be bonded by the most special miracle anyone could ever imagine, a beautiful child. We admire you for the deep love of your child as you make an adoption plan and we only hope that we can help you feel safe and secure in knowing how deeply loved your child would be in our home. more ...
Dan and Lisa
Baby girl placed 8/10!
The compassion for your baby is shining through as you make the most important decision of your life—choosing the parents who will raise your baby. We admire the strength and love you are displaying for the little one who is growing inside you at this very moment. You are looking out for your baby’s future and it’s an extremely courageous decision you are making. We thank you for taking the time to consider us to be parents to your baby. It’s an honor to even be considered for this awesome responsibility. We have always wanted a family with children. We have been married for 11 years. After learning we were unable to conceive a child, we found adoption to be the right choice for us to build our family. Four years ago, God answered our prayers and blessed us with our son, Dmitry, through adoption. His transition to our family was seamless, and he enriches our lives every day. We’ve dreamed of having more children and look forward to the days our son will have a sibling. more ...
Dave and Becky
“Life is not measured by the number of breaths you take but by the moments that take our breath away.” Hello, we are Dave and Becky. We are very grateful that you are taking the time to get to know us. We wish to express our gratitude and love for you as you consider the gift of adoption. We truly believe adoption is a gift of love. In choosing adoption, we know you are making one of the hardest and yet most beautiful decision there is. We pray that you will find the peace and comfort you need in making this very difficult decision. We both grew up in loving homes and would like to have a family of our own. We have known since the beginning of our relationship that we could not conceive a child, but we knew we could give a child a loving and nurturing home. We will encourage and support him or her in every way. Most importantly, he or she will always have our unconditional love. Thank you for considering us. more ...
