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.
