Find a Family - Waiting to Adopt

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!

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 (31 and 33) 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.

Angie and Kenny

We have known each other for most of our lives, but didn't start dating until 2009. We have been happily married for over three years now. Before we even knew that we couldn't have children ourselves, we talked about our wish to adopt a child. Adoption is very important to us and we hope to give you a view of what your child's life would be like with our family.

Aaron and Farrah

We are a fun-loving couple (both 30 years old) who are very excited to adopt. We live in a rural community in Indiana. Farrah has a degree in special elementary education and Aaron is a fourth generation farmer. We cannot wait to begin this chapter of our lives and count the days until this next adventure makes baby snuggles a reality in our world. Thank you for your bravery! We truly admire your strength and will continue to pray for your safety and wellbeing.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Shannon and Sam

We are Shannon and Sam (in our early 30's) and we thank you for visiting our profile! Our hope and desire is to invite you in to see and understand a little bit of who we are and dreams for our family in the future. Shannon works in the city’s Park District, primarily in youth programs, and Sam works in a residential setting with at-risk youth who need guidance and support to help overcome the hardships they have faced in their lives. We would love to get to know you better and understand the hopes and dreams you have for your child. We want to foster a relationship with you and support you.

Samantha (Sam) and Seth

We're a young active couple (both 30 years old) ready for another child. Sam is a "retired" teacher who is now a stay-at-home mom. She loves being home, sharing every moment of her children's lives. Seth is a registered nurse, working in the Emergency Room of our local hospital. We always knew that we wanted children, and that adoption would be a part of our story. Our extended family has already been deeply touched by adoption.

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.

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.

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.

Melissa and Reymar

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Heather and Darrick

Hello and Hola. We are excited that we may have the honor of sharing this journey with you. We thank you for viewing our profile and hope that you find a connection to the words and photos that we have shared. We have always imagined big holiday dinners with family and here we are, hoping to meet you.Please know that you have our respect and support.

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.

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.

Megan and Mathew

We know that it's a tough circumstance that brings you to consider adoption, and we respect you for having the courage to consider this option. We are a young couple with two adopted kids, Michael, 8 and Lill, 5. We still feel that our family is incomplete and would love to adopt your baby. Our children are very excited to have a baby brother or sister. Thank you for considering our family. Our hearts and prayers go out to you.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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. Adam works in banking and has the flexibility to work from home. He plans to be an involved, hands-on dad. We both love running, and our sweet, friendly dog, Penny. Our home is a safe and happy place, and we will be loving, supportive parents.
