Unplanned Pregnancy?

We are Amanda and Bobby! We live in Schererville, Indiana and have the best of both worlds living in a quiet suburb and also close to the city. We have a shared love of sports and also love to travel. When we are not at games or traveling, we love to spend time on the trails near our home. Our home is shared with our two wonderful cats, Sophie and Ellie, who will be the perfect first pets for any child. Thank you for considering us as part of your journey and for giving us the opportunity to share our story with you.

We are Greg and Jeff and we are excited to be able to share our story with you. We live in Chicago and love all that the city has to offer. We’re both outgoing people with many shared interests. We regularly compete on a volleyball team, read a variety of books with our book club, and especially love wearing a variety of costumes! We are excited to grow our family and as future parents we are fully committed to raising a child with all the unconditional love that we have. Please know that we already appreciate you, and we hope to be able to share more about our story and learn about yours.

We are Sabrina and Brian and are grateful that you are taking the time to learn more about us! We are both educators and love the time we spend helping the children around us. We also have a unique perspective on adoption as we have family members who have both been adopted and someone who has also made an adoption plan for their child. Because of this, we can begin to understand a birth mom’s perspective as we go through this journey together as well as have someone for your child to relate to as they grow up and have questions about adoption. We promise to give your child a stable and nurturing home filled with love, laughter, empathy, and opportunities to grow into the best person they can be.

Hi, and a heartfelt welcome to our story. We are Gretchen and Nestor! We've always felt strongly about building our family through adoption. We are both very excited about adding a child to our family and providing a loving home. Choosing to place a child for adoption is an incredibly brave decision. We fully respect and honor your reasons, knowing they are uniquely your own. We are grateful for the immense love you're showing by considering this path, and we thank you.

We are Margo, John, and Bevan, and we are grateful that you have taken the time to read our profile and learn a little more about us. Margo grew up in Northern Wisconsin and John grew up in Minnesota and we now call the suburbs of Chicago home. Margo is a biologist who teaches college courses and John is a biologist in a lab. Bevan is both a scientist and athlete as he makes Harry Potter potions and plays soccer and practices ninja gymnastics. Bevan is excited to become a big brother! We wholeheartedly welcome an open adoption and see you as part of our community, if you are willing. We’re committed to providing a stable, loving, and nurturing home for your child.

We are Kristen and Michael and live in the suburbs of Illinois. Kristen is a high school math teacher and Michael owns his own business. We love going on family walks or runs, and yes, all our dogs run with us even our 14-year-old, who is the youngest at heart. As we write this letter our hearts, minds and souls are filled with excitement and emotion. We promise that we will support and cherish you through this process, and are empathetic to the range of emotions that you may be feeling. We look forward to learning more about you and sharing more about us with you!

We are Maria and Leo, and we thank you for taking the time to learn a little about our story. Maria is a pre-school teacher in Chicago and Leo is a physical therapist, and we both love our jobs helping each other. After careful thought, we have been led to adoption to begin our family. We cannot imagine what you are experiencing as you consider making an adoption plan. We are blessed with the opportunity to provide love, support, and compassion to you and your child. Our promise to you is to unconditionally love, cherish, and celebrate your child/ren and help them lead their best life.

We are Adrienne and Jon and we live in Goshen, Indiana about two hours from Chicago. Adrienne works for a community mental health center where she is greatly appreciated for her calm spirit and grace. Jon directs an educational farm and protects farmland for a living. Both of us love spending time in nature, which includes gardening, hiking, canoeing, and exploring. By reading our profile we hope you are able to learn a bit of our story and provide you with an idea of the life that your child would have in our home. We will be honored should you choose us to parent the child you are carrying, and our hearts are with you as you make this difficult decision.

Thank you for taking the time to read our letter. We are Chris and Jake, and we are so glad you’ve landed on our page. We know the decision to make an adoption plan is not one you’re considering lightly. We know how brave you are, and we are eager to connect with you!

We are Erin and Adam and we are so excited to build our family through adoption. Adam is a family doctor in a community healthy center and Erin is an editor at a publishing company. A child raised in our family will be brought up in an environment full of love, laughter, snuggles, creativity, encouragement, and lots of fun. We are committed to building a life and a family where a child feels loved, even through hard and challenging times. We promise to celebrate our child for who they are, and honor where they come from, while helping them grow into the strongest and happiest version of themselves. We appreciate you taking the time to read our profile, and hope that it has helped you learn more about who we are and what we value.

We met at a Jewish Shabbat (Sabbath) dinner in our community in July 2018. In June 2020, we got married in Kristin’s parent’s backyard in a small ceremony due to COVID. Then, on our first anniversary, we were able to finally have our big reception with all our family and friends. Since then, we’ve been talking about how to grow our family and it was Kristin’s lifelong desire to adopt so we knew from the beginning that adoption would be a part of our family plan.

Thank you for taking the time to get to know us! We are Nina and Mike. We are in our mid-thirties and live in a suburb outside of Indianapolis. We met in high school at a choir competition in Michigan and have been friends ever since. We love music, reading, playing games and look forward to sharing all of this with a new member of our family. We are excited to grow our family through the adoption process and would be honored to walk this journey with you. Please know that you and your baby are already valued and loved by us!

Thank you for taking the time to read our letter. We want to start by telling you we cannot imagine the thoughts and feelings that you are currently going through. We hope you are able to find the path that will be best for you and your child.

Thank you for taking the time to learn more about us. We hope this letter gives you a glimpse of who we are and a sense of what we’re all about. We can imagine the difficult decisions you face – know that we admire your strength as you consider making an adoption plan for your child. If there is one thing we hope to communicate, it’s that placing your child with us will mean a loving home, a supportive family, and a vibrant community.

Thank you for taking the time to learn about us! We understand that this is a difficult decision and that you are giving tremendous thought to your next steps. Although this is the first time we are adopting, we have friends and family who have adopted – or were adopted – and have learned so much from their experiences. We are grateful to be considered and we’re so excited for this journey.

Hello! We are Matt and Maurice. We can’t describe how thankful we are that you are giving us this opportunity to introduce ourselves, our family, and a bit about our life. We admire your strength and courage as you make this difficult decision, and we hope only the best for you and your child.

Hi! We are Holly and Dan! Thank you for taking the time to read our profile and learn more about us. We can only imagine the difficult feelings you are working through as you consider making an adoption plan. We are excited about the prospect of growing our family, and hope this profile gives you a glimpse of who we are and the life that we will provide for a child.

Thank you for taking time to read our profile. While you are considering adoption for your child, and hoping to find just the right family, we are nervously waiting to be chosen by just the right birth parent. Shawn was adopted and grew up in Massachusetts and Alex grew up in Milwaukee. We both still love city life and now live in Chicago with our two cats. We know that a letter like this is far too short to convey all of who we are, but we will try our best!

Thank you for taking time to look at our profile! We are Skye and RJ and we’re from Northern Indiana. After over ten years together, we’re ready to open our hearts and home to children. Adoption has always been our first choice when deciding to grow our family; we have never seen ourselves having children by any other means. We hope that if you find yourself connecting to our story, we’ll be able to alleviate some of the stress you may be feeling at this time. We hope to have the opportunity to learn more about you.

We can only imagine what it is like for you as you face this difficult decision, and we admire the love that you have for your unborn child. After we got married, we immediately talked about starting a family. As Christians, we believe God has led us on this journey of adoption. Thank you for viewing our profile, and we hope to have the opportunity to meet you.

We are Cady (31) and Jack (36). We have been married for over seven years and live in Chicago with our daughter Clementine (4) and our dog Goose who we rescued about 5 years ago. We talked about wanting to be parents and growing our family by adoption early on in our relationship and got to know several kids with unique adoption stories during our years as volunteers, which solidified our desire to adopt in the future.
