Find a Family - Waiting to Adopt

Anna and Jared (and Dylan)

We're each other’s best friend and we make an excellent team. Adopting our son Dylan was the best thing that's ever happened to us. The three of us can't wait to bring a new baby into our family. We're lucky to have an open relationship with our son's birth mother, including regular updates and visits. If you'd like to get to know us or have questions, please contact us. We'd love to get to know you.

Lindsay and Dan

We are excited to start a new adoption journey. We're a young couple (both 32) who knew early in our relationship that we'd build our family through adoption. We adopted our son, Isaac, in 2015 and our son Eli in 2017. It has been our greatest joy to become parents, and we have so much love to share with another child. We'll give your child our unconditional love and every opportunity to become all that he or she is meant to be.

Alexandra and Bill

We’ve been happily married for over seven years, and for much of that time we have wanted to become parents. We feel blessed that you are considering us to be your child's family. We know you’re a facing very difficult decision, but a thoughtful one based on love. This love will be the foundation on which we can build our family. We have deep respect and admiration for your courage.

Kaitlin and Clint

Adoption has always been in our hearts. We are a young, happily married couple who couldn't be more excited for the chance to adopt your baby. While we can’t know exactly what you’re going through, we truly care about you and your well-being. If we're the lucky couple you choose, we promise to support you and love and cherish your child always. In addition, our large, close-knit family will welcome your baby with open arms.

Jerica

Hey, I’m Jerrica and I’m 32 years old. I am single, but not alone. I have always wanted to have children and I know I’m ready to be a mother. I have a very large, loving and supportive family. I grew up in a small rural town in Mississippi with my grandparents and a cousin. They made sure my cousin and I learned to be kind to others. After graduating high school, I joined the Air Force -- an amazing experience that changed my life in so many ways.

Beth and Justin

We always wanted children and went through 3 years of unsuccessful infertility treatments. God had different plans for us and we felt a peace and calmness deciding that we were meant to adopt. We were blessed with Eli in May of 2011 and Margaret in September of 2014. We can’t imagine life without them. We believe everything happens for a reason, and we hope our paths are crossing for a special reason.

Stefanie and Nick and Alex

We always knew we wanted children, but after some time realized that it wasn’t going to happen the usual way. We chose a more hopeful path to becoming parents, and adopted our son Alex 4 years ago. We have so much love to give and can’t wait to share our lives with another child. We have faith that God will help you find the perfect family for your baby. Even if it is not us, we wish you love and above all, peace. .

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.

Olivia and David and Charlotte

We will raise your child with the knowledge that adoption is a loving choice, and you will be honored as the special woman who helped grow our family. In 2016, our dream of becoming adoptive parents came true. We are excited to go down this path again and hope that you will want to take this journey with us. We are young couple (31 & 33) who both grew up in the country on the outskirts of small Indiana towns.

Amber and Steve

We're in our mid-30s and have been married for nine years. We consider each other best friends and feel very lucky to have found one another. Steve is a pilot for a Commercial Airline and absolutely loves what he does. A great perk of his job is how his schedule will allow for lots of full days at home with the family. Amber can't wait to be a stay-at-home mom! Thanks for reading our profile. We'd love to get to know you.

Lauren and Graham

We are a young couple (both 32) excited to become first-time parents. We appreciate the courage and love it takes to choose an adoptive family for your baby. We met when we were just kids, but we've grown into the perfect team of loving, devoted, and goofy best friends. We're each other’s greatest cheerleader, supporting each other's unique traits and interests. We'll shower your baby with love, laughter and encouragement.

Tabita and Todd

We're two educators (8th grade teacher and college professor) who met in college. We're creative and fun, and we both have jobs that we love, two cats that keep us warm and a home we've made into our sanctuary. We'll give your baby a warm, loving and secure childhood, along with doting grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends. We'd love to get to know you. Please take a look at our video and profile letter.

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.

Kat and Bryan (and Jase)

Our relationship has taught us the importance of love, teamwork and communication. We work well together because we listen, are honest, respect each other’s ideas and always remember to have fun and be silly. Our family is multicultural (Kat is Puerto Rican) and everyone is ready to spoil, love and show this child the joys of being part of our large, close-knit, multi-generational family.

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.

Mandy and Josh

We're a young (32 and 35) fun-loving couple about to celebrate our seventh wedding anniversary. We have been a small family of three for five years now and would be so honored to be entrusted with another little life to love. While our immediate family is small, our extended family is large. We have dozens of aunts, uncles, and cousins eager to welcome your baby into the fold.

Molly and Chris

Adoption is a brave and loving choice, but we are certain that it’s very difficult decision. Please know your child will grow up happy and loved in our home. We are looking forward to getting to know you and we hope getting to know us brings you comfort and the absolute certainty that your child will be safe, happy, educated, and loved by the two of us, and the rest of our family.

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.

Beth and Rob (and Henry)

Our story began a long time ago, in a galaxy (or rather a college town) far, far away. We met while attending college and fell in love. After graduation, we moved back to Chicago and married. For years we were a twosome. We were busy -- buying a house, starting our careers, rescuing some adorable dogs – knowing that our long-term dreams meant kids! Our dreams came true in 2016 when we were chosen to parent our sweet little boy.

Sarah and Gabriel and Saviour and Sierra

Love will always be our foundation. After seven years together, we respect each other as man and woman, as husband and wife. We have so much love to give to your child. We are very faithful Christians, raised in the church life, and so will our children. Your child will inherit a big brother and big sister and will have instant playmates and best friends for life.

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.

Kasey and Shon

We know that you want the best for your baby, and we would be honored to be part of your adoption journey. Kasey teaches college and Shon is Vice President of a small IT company. We have been blessed with the adoption of our son and would be thrilled if you chose our family to adopt your baby. We will make sure that your child understands that placing a baby for adoption is a selfless and loving decision.

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.

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.

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.

Debjani and Joydeep

We have deep respect for the journey you are on, and we are so grateful that you are considering us. We know you have lots of decisions ahead of you and hope that you will want to get to know us. We both love children and have so much love to share. We have been married for almost 8 years and we have a wonderful circle of family and friends who support us through life's ups and downs. We welcome open adoption.

Kate and Scott

Kate is a special education teacher and Scott is a chef. We've been married for 11 years, together for 18, and we live in Chicago with our two beloved dogs. If you choose us to parent your child, we will always honor your difficult choice and the way our dream of becoming parents came true. Thank you for reading our letter and learning about us. We would love to get to know you, too.

Susan and Andy

We know that family is more than the people related to you by blood. What matters is the love and support among those you have chosen to call family. We'll teach our children to be compassionate and kind and have respect for others. We want to build in them an inner strength that will sustain them in good and challenging times. Above all, we want our children to know that they are loved, every day and unconditionally.

Sara, Mark and Meredith

We're a multiracial couple hoping to adopt a baby. Sara is a devoted mom and pre-school teacher who adores children. She loves teaching, but her family's needs always come first. Mark is a patient, nurturing and playful dad. We'll make sure that your child understands the immense love it takes for a mother to choose adoption. We both have so much respect and admiration for you, and we'd love to get to know you.

Signe and Jason

We are a multiracial couple; both of us raised to know it is special to be a part of different cultures. We believe that placing a precious beautiful little human for adoption is a profound sacrifice. We deeply desire to expand our family as we have lots of love to share. We know that this child is a blessed gift, and if -- you choose us -- we’ll honor your sacrifice by centering our lives around him or her.

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!

Jami and Mike

We're in our mid-30s and have a great relationship built on respect and common interests. We enjoy going to concerts and movies, and watching football and hockey together. Jami loves running and performance training and Mike plays tennis competitively. Our wonderful family and friends support us through all of life's challenges and triumphs. We're excited to adopt a baby and have an open adoption.

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 (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.
