Find a Family - Waiting to Adopt

Stephan

I have wanted to be a mother for as long as I can remember. After much thought I decided to start my family as a single parent. This journey has taught me that you do not have to give birth to a child to be a parent. I may be single, but I will not be raising your child alone. The entire family is extremely excited about the opportunity to have a new child to love and spoil.

Lauren and Graham

We’re a young couple in our early 30’s excited to become parents. We appreciate the courage and love it takes to choose an adoptive family for your baby. As high school sweethearts, we've grown into the perfect team of active, devoted, and fun-loving best friends. We’ve been each other’s greatest cheerleader, supporting each other's unique traits and interests, and knew from early on that we wanted to grow our family through adoption. We can’t wait to shower your baby with love, laughter and encouragement.

Shauna and Craig

We are Shauna and Craig, both in our mid-thirties, and although we have never met, we think you are wonderful! We promise that any child adopted by us will grow up surrounded by unconditional love and a ton of laughter. We look forward to getting to know you, and hope that this letter gives you an idea of who we are and the parents that we hope to be.

Sara and Ryan

We have a very loving relationship and we share a common core of values. A child that joins our family will grow up in a home filled with love, laughter, and encouragement. We appreciate how difficult making this decision is for you. We also recognize the thought and courage it takes to choose the right family for your child. We sincerely hope that our home is the one you will choose.

Elyse and Henry

Adoption has been an important part of our families, and we can’t wait to make it part of our own. We admire your strength and would be honored to meet you. We hope you can see the love we have for each other, our family and friends, and our city. We promise to bless your child with unconditional love, a vast support system, and an abundance of grace. We are praying for you on this journey!

Gretchen and Mark

We both love children and can't wait to be parents. We have known for a few years that Gretchen would not be able to carry a pregnancy, so we had always planned to build our family through adoption. If you choose us, we promise that your courage, strength, and sacrifice will never be forgotten. Our families have taught us to be there for each other. We want to be there for you, too!

Kelli and Jeff

Thank you for taking the time to learn more about us. We look forward to getting to know you, and hope you get a glimpse of our personalities, including our quirkiness and fun-loving nature! Kelli is a financial planner and Jeff is a software analyst. When not working, you can find us traveling to visit family, playing games, or debating what the best part of the Oreo cookie is! We admire your strength as you consider making an adoption plan for your child. We are praying for you at this time, and always.

Laura and Billy

We’re young (mid-30’s), active and we've been together for eight years and married for four. Billy works closeby as a finance director, and Laura works at the local library. Both of us are college graduates. We like to exercise, make dinners together, hang out with our families and travel. If you're thinking of an open adoption, we are open to visits, phone calls, pictures or letters. We wish you the best and hope you find the right family for your child.

Gia and Joe

Adoption has always been in our plan; we knew that having a child ourselves was going to be challenging, and our treatment options were limited. We're a young couple (33 and 35) who have known each other for 11 years. We share similar values and our personalities fit together perfectly. We promise to give your child a safe and stable life and our unconditional love. We can't wait to meet you.

Jason and Mike

Thank you for viewing our profile! We understand that the journey you have been on may be difficult, but if you choose us, we promise to welcome your child into a home filled with immense love, laughter, adventure, and happiness. Thank you for considering us for your child and helping to make our dream of having a family become a reality.

Gary and Daniel

Thank you for viewing our profile and considering us. We are a young couple who were both born and raised in Northwest Indiana, and now live in Central Illinois. Daniel is a Physician and Gary graduated with a degree in Marketing Communications and works for Gap. Our greatest adventure so far was when we became Dads to our daughter, Evelyn. We can’t believe how much joy starting a family has brought us, and we can’t wait to grow our family even more. We promise to raise your baby in a loving and supportive family, and maintain a relationship with you. We want our children to know and appreciate their story.

Rj and Jeff

Thank you for reading about us! We are RJ, Jeff and Thea (age 4). Even before we got married in 2015, we both knew we wanted to become dads and start a family and adoption was always our plan. RJ’s mom, Dorothy, was very influential in our decision to pursue an open adoption. She placed a child for adoption. This personal adoption experience has made us strong believers in open adoption. We have so much to offer as parents and would be honored to have the opportunity to show you. Thank you again for considering us. We look forward to meeting you!

Danielle and Tony

Thank you for taking the time to learn more about us! We have been tackling life together for 17 years, and are looking forward to becoming parents. We look forward to seeing our children carve out their path in life and light up the world. When we decided to start building our family, adoption just felt right for us. As you navigate this decision, we hope you are surrounded by love and support through your journey, wherever it takes you.

Tommy and Brent

We are Tommy and Brent and we hope our profile gives you a sense of who we are and the love we have for one another. We both are from a small town in Illinois, and have been together since high school. We now enjoy the city life as we explore all that Chicago has to offer. We are passionate about our careers in Nursing, and love what we do! We look forward to becoming parents and providing a loving nurturing home. Thank you for reading our profile and hope we have a chance to learn more about one another.

Megan

My name is Megan and for the last ten years I have thought about motherhood and envisioned how I would create a family. There has never been a doubt in my mind that adoption is the path for me. If you decide to place your child for adoption, and choose me, I promise to nurture his or her relationship with God, provide unconditional love, surround him or her with a large circle of family and friends, support his or her dreams and ambitions, and to honor you and share your story.

Jon and Liz

As an expectant mother, we are sure you are reading this and thinking about making one of the most important decisions of your life. You are probably reading this because you are looking for open, loving and trustworthy adoptive parents to raise your baby. We are writing this to you because we want to give your baby a home to grow up in surrounded by people that love him or her. In 2018, we adopted a beautiful baby boy named Dominic. He is the inspiration that keeps us going and adoption is something we openly embrace and wish to pursue again.

Imelda and Jared

We are a biracial couple in our mid 30’s. Imelda is Mexican American and fluent in Spanish and English. She has a Masters degree in counseling and works with community college students. Jared has a Master’s degree in Business and works as a business analyst. With us, your child will grow up in a bi-cultural, bilingual home, but will always know where they came from. He or she will learn about the world as they travel with us.

Mariah

Ever since I can remember, I've always wanted to be a mom. I grew up with three sisters and incredibly loving and supportive parents who instilled in us the importance of family. While my life journey has not included marriage up to this point, I have so much love to share with a child and have been blessed with resources to support a family. My dream is to build my family through adoption.

Susaan and Joe

We are a happy, playful, adventurous, and artistic couple with a wonderful support network of family and friends. We are both excited to become parents, and provide a loving home in which to raise a child. We understand this may be a difficult time for you, and feel blessed you are considering us to parent the child you are going to bring into this world.

Michelle and Eric

One bright and sunny Sunday morning, we met as Michelle tried to open a window in a new members’ class at our church. Yup – true story, we met at church and the room was super-hot! As you read about us, we hope that our love for each other, our family, and our friends will demonstrate how we will love and parent our children. Thank you for taking the time to get to know us!

Christin John and Justin

We are Christin and John, a fun-loving couple, who cherish our family and faith above all things. We grew up in Southern California, where we now live, and have a special place in our hearts for Chicago where we travel to often. We admire you for your courage and sacrifice, and we cannot express how much we respect you for considering adoption. We are excited to introduce ourselves!

Skye and RJ

Thank you for taking time to look at our profile! We are Skye and RJ and we're from Northern Indiana. Our passions have always overlapped with our choice in careers. While we both started out as zoo keepers, our careers have each taken a turn towards education. After eight years together, we're ready to open our hearts and home to children. 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.

Becca and Steve (and Sophia)

We cannot begin to imagine how you feel as you consider adoption for your baby. What we can do is assure you that you are not alone. We would be honored to help you through this journey. We have been happily married for 16 years. In 2013, we were blessed with our beautiful daughter, Sophie, through an open adoption. We are looking to complete our little family and hope you might consider placing your precious child with us.

Kelly and Josh

We've been married for 11 years and had always hoped to grow our family. Our journey has led us to adoption and we couldn't be more excited to welcome your baby into our lives. We respect and admire your courage and promise to raise your child in a loving, supportive home. We want this child to appreciate their adoption story and maintain contact with you. We'll always speak of you with respect, gratitude and kindness.

Susan and Andy

We want to raise children that make this world a better place. We'll teach our children to be compassionate, kind and empathetic. We also want to instill in our children respect for differences and diversity. Above all, we want our children to know that they are loved, every day and unconditionally. You will always have a place in our family and in your child’s heart.

Shannon and Steve

We're in our mid-30s and have been married for 10 years. We met as kids and quickly became great friends. Sometime later, we fell in love and haven’t looked back since. Our life is truly a beautiful one. We have a very strong, loving bond with each other and our families, and there’s so much more love in our hearts to share with a child. We would love to get to know you and hope that you will want to get to know us, too.

Chris and Dan (plus Tim)

We're sure this is a difficult time for you as you consider what is best for your precious baby. No matter what you decide, we hope you have the love and support you deserve. We’re a down-to-earth affectionate, fun-loving couple living in a family-friendly neighborhood in northwest Indiana. Our son joined our family through an open adoption, and we'd be happy to have an open adoption with you, too.

Katie and Mitch

We hope this letter will give you a glimpse into our lives and what your child’s life would be like in our family. We're a young couple (32 and 34) and we're so grateful that you are taking the time to get to know us. We feel blessed to have become parents through the adoption of our son Hudson, and are excited to become a family of four. Our Christian faith is at the center of our lives and our church community is like a tight-knit extended family.

Katie and Craig

We are a young couple in our early 30’s and have been married for five years. Katie works in a hospital and Craig works as an engineer. We enjoy going for walks and bike rides on the local trails. The greatest experience of our lives, is the adoption of our daughter Grace. We are now ready to grow our family again, which has led us to you.

Ryan and Cate

We are Cate and Ryan (both in our early 30’s) and Cassius (Cash), who is almost 2. Adopting Cash was a joyful first step toward the family we’ve dreamed of having. Now we’re ready to complete the crew with a new little member. You deserve to know what kind of life you would be giving your child if you choose adoption--to know that your baby will be loved, protected, and given the best childhood possible.

Mike and Scott

We are deeply honored that you are considering our family as a part of your adoption journey. We have been together for over seven years and married for over two. We both grew up in homes surrounded by love and filled with warmth. We believe that adoption is a very brave, loving and an absolutely selfless act. Please know that if you choose our family, your child will feel a lifetime of endless love, support, and encouragement.

Patrick and Mike

We can’t wait to fulfill our dream of having a child. We've been together for 10 years and married for 5. We hold strong values of love, compassion, education, and social responsibility. Our work provides a sense of meaning and giving back. We cherish our family and would do anything for them. Although open adoption is important to us, that decision is entirely up to you. Know we will always speak of you with respect, gratitude and kindness.

Laura and Adam

We are a young (mid-30’s), energetic, fun-loving couple excited to adopt our first child. Laura works part time as a neonatal intensive care nurse.

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.

Thank you for viewing our profile, and we hope to have the opportunity to meet you.

Melissa and Steve

Our plan is to share equally in the joy and work of parenting. We hope you will help to make our dream of becoming parents a reality. Although we don’t know your circumstances or the dreams you hold for your child, we are confident that together we can help each other. For us, open adoption is a natural fit. We have flexible work schedules and are fortunate that we can be home for months after our baby arrives.

Alle and Andrew

We are Alle and Andrew and we are excited to have you view our profile. Life can be full of surprises, sometimes joyful and sometimes scary, and sometimes both at the same time. We can’t pretend to know how you are feeling and hope that you are surrounded by lots of love and support. Maybe our letter will be a part of the light on your path.

Michael and Ketul

We are very excited about becoming parents and take the responsibility of raising your child with the utmost respect. Your child will grow up living in a great city and will also have the unique experiences of playing at Michael’s family farm in Wisconsin and visiting Ketul’s family in India! We are so excited to be embarking on this journey and greatly appreciate you considering us for this honor.
