Sarah & Patrick
We are Sarah and Patrick. We live in Northern NJ in a community less than an hour from Manhattan. Having a family was always important to us, and we are excited to welcome a child through adoption.
After meeting in 2007, from the start we knew not only would we fall in love but also we’d become best friends! We married soon after, and have been adventuring together ever since. Both of us enjoy music, traveling both locally and abroad, holidays and long weekends with family and close friends, the arts, and history. We also celebrate each other’s differences – Sarah loves all things Disney and Patrick has a strong passion for sports.
We appreciate how important a decision like adoption is, and think its courageous you are considering this loving option for your child. If you were to select us as adoptive parents for your child, we would look forward to helping them grow under the safe protective wing of our large and warm extended family, teaching them the morals that will guide their decisions and helping them discover the unique interests that spark their enthusiasm.
Sending positive thoughts to you at this time. We hope to meet you soon and answer any question you may have.
Warm Wishes – Sarah & Pat

Tina & Mike
Hi! Thanks for checking out our profile. We’re Mike and Tina, and we’ve been married for 11 years. In some ways, we’re very different. Mike is quiet and reserved, and loves to play and watch sports. Tina is talkative and energetic, and loves music and theater. But we both have common values and morals: being honest and truthful, treating others the way you want to be treated, cherishing those you love. These beliefs keep us committed to each other and to our family.
We longed for a child for many years and wanted more than anything to become parents. After six years of difficulty, we finally had our son, Sam. Our challenging journey to have a family only strengthened our bond and our commitment to each other. Experiencing the joys of parenthood has really made us want to have more children, and we’ve decided to build our family through adoption. We will love unconditionally any child who comes into our home.
We are best friends who have fun and enjoy making our way through life together. We have a natural and easy relationship, and work things out by talking and listening to each other. Neither of us could ever imagine life without the other, and believe that we were a family already, even before we had our son. We just want to take the next step and turn our family of three into a family of four (or more!).
If you decide to make an adoption plan for your child and think we might be the ones to parent, we will be ready with open arms. We wish you all the best in your decision.
Love,
Tina and Mike

Kate
Hello! Thank you for taking the time to read about me and my family as you consider the possibility of making an adoption plan for your child. I am an American who grew up in Europe, in a number of different countries. I came back to the United States while I was in high school, then I went to college in New Hampshire and graduate school in New York. I’ve been working in nonprofit organizations in New York ever since. I have a house in a quiet neighborhood with good schools, across from a conservation area.
Education, music, travel, and the outdoors are lifelong loves for me – I’m always interested in learning something new. Feeding curiosity is a joy, and you just never know what experience will enable you to come up with a creative response to the issues that come up in daily life.
The decision you are making now is so difficult. But I believe strongly that whatever decision you make, it will be the right one for you and your child because it comes from a place of love. I know the others I’ve met on this journey agree. You are not alone.
I hope this profile will give you a good sense of my world, and all the people who are standing ready to open their hearts to a new member of our family. When all is said and done, the value I believe is most important is kindness. Kindness to others, and kindness to yourself, can give you the strength and guidance to navigate most puzzles in life, large and small.
Sincerely,
Kate

Katherine
My name is Katherine. Thank you for looking at my profile. I know you face enormous and overwhelming choices. I realized that I wanted to become a mother one day when I was driving home from spending a weekend with my nephews in NY. I found myself missing them already on the drive home, and I decided I didn’t want to have to drive away anymore. My mom taught me the value of caring for others and showed me how to be a mother by being an amazing mother herself. I hope to pass on that gift to a child as well.
I grew up out west, and have been in Philadelphia for almost a decade. I became a public interest lawyer because I always knew I wanted to help people, even before I knew how. The only goals I have for my children are that they be happy, well-adjusted and successful, whatever that means for them.
Thank you for taking the time to read these words. No matter what you decide, I wish you nothing but the best.
Sincerely,
Katherine
Fun Facts about Katherine
Favorite Hobbies: reading, running, biking, crocheting, hiking
Favorite Foods: I love cooking huge meals like casseroles or lasagna or a giant pot of chili – as boring as it sounds, I love making a huge batch of food to feed people and then feed myself for a week (and sneak in extra veggies no one can taste!)
Favorite Holiday: I love Thanksgiving, because it’s all about the food and the family, and because it’s the start of the holiday season, so there’s lots of decorating and family time to look forward to!
Favorite Music: … actually, no, I have terrible taste in music!

Lauren & Emily
Hi! Our names are Lauren and Emily. (Lauren is the one with short hair; Emily has long hair). We’re honored to be considered as prospective adoptive parents. We are looking forward to sharing our lives with a child, and all the new adventures and challenges that will bring.
We met in 2005 while working together as AmeriCorps members at a local housing program. Lauren pretended to be real tough, but Emily didn’t buy it. We were friends for many years until we started dating about five years ago. We were both surprised by how well we understood each other and got along! Emily appreciates Lauren’s steady cool and Lauren appreciates how Emily expands her comfort zone.
We now live together in West Philadelphia, where Lauren works as a carpenter and Emily works as an architect. Friends describe us as loyal, quiet, creative, and compassionate. We enjoy both being a part of our community in Philadelphia and also traveling to new places. You can often find us doing craft and carpentry projects together or cooking, eating, hiking and biking with friends. You can also often find us spending time with our parents, siblings, and extended family.
We respect and admire you for the decisions you are making! Thanks in advance for taking the time to get to know about us as part of that process.

Whitney & Robert
We are Whitney and Robert. We met over ten years ago, and have been married since 2015. We are so thankful that you have chosen to learn about us and our dream of becoming parents. Although we don’t know you, we admire your thoughtfulness and bravery for considering adoption. We offer our heartfelt support as you plan the future for yourself and for your child.
There are all sorts of facts that can be scrambled together to explain us: we are people who place a premium on friendship and loyalty (we met at a mutual friend’s wedding); we love seeing the unfamiliar world (Whitney lived in London for a semester in college, and Robert has traveled around the country twice); we are “culture vultures” (museums, concerts, theater, movies, restaurants, books – we love it all). We are also big baseball fans. In short, we love being alive and are determined to experience as much of what is good on Earth as we can.
We both have close friends since childhood, and many friends that we have gathered along the way through different schools and jobs. We have board game nights, and like to picnic and hike and watch movies outside in the summer. Our friends are excited that we are building our family through adoption and are very supportive.
We enjoy traveling near and far, but we always love coming home to Brooklyn. While we are close to Manhattan and all it has to offer, what we love most about Brooklyn is that it is a rich and diverse community with thoughtful, caring neighbors and local stores and shops. We live five minutes from two different parks, one with a large playground and another with walking trails along the water. Our block, lined with trees and brownstones, has lots of children and families.
Thank you for clicking on our profile. We are excited to build our family through adoption with love, compassion and encouragement. We wish you strength and peace as you make this decision.

Hello!
We’re Emily and Tim. We recognize that this is an extremely difficult process and are so thankful you are considering us as part of your adoption plan. We wish you strength on this difficult journey and appreciate that you are taking time to get to know us. We look forward to sharing a look into our home and lives to better give you a picture of who we are as a family.
We have been unable to conceive after 5 years of fertility treatments and have decided that building our family through adoption is now the path we’ve chosen, and we are really excited! We have so much love to give, a cozy colorful home to live in, a big community of friends and family to help nurture, and lots of creativity to share. We are an artist and a musician who love to spend time in nature, work on our respective arts, and enjoy meals with friends. We love to travel and spend time in new places. Between the two of us we have been to 18 countries and have lived on both coasts. We love living in Philadelphia since we are close to family, enjoy our jobs, our neighborhood, and our friends. Our friends and family are so excited to welcome a baby into our lives!
As people, we pride ourselves on being empathetic, kind and giving. We value trust, respect and compassion. We plan on sharing those values with our child. We also believe in having a good education and will provide an emotionally and financially stable home.
It is our hope to continue our relationship in a way that works for you. Our vision of openness is flexible, and we would like to establish a relationship that we are both happy with!
Whatever path you choose, we are sending love and support.

Samantha & Caleb
Hello,
Thank you for taking the time to get to know us. Although we haven’t met, we are certain that you are courageous, wise, and maternal. No matter what you decide is best for your baby, we are honored to be part of your process.
We are Caleb & Samantha. We are high school sweethearts from the Midwest that have made NYC home. Samantha works as an event producer and Caleb is a professional musician. We feel fortunate that we get to do what we love every day of our life and are SO ready to enrich those days (and nights!) with a baby. The both of us are committed to raising a child that knows and is proud of their history in a loving, respectful, and diverse environment.
We always knew we wanted to have kids, but we were not in a rush. Our 20’s were spent enjoying each other and the life we were building, but once our 30’s hit we decided we were ready to enhance our life with a child. We had always talked about adoption but decided to try biologically first. After a year of trying we found out that it was not physically possible to get pregnant. Although it was jarring to learn, it was also super clear: our family was going to grow through adoption! We feel like we were unquestionably meant to be on this beautiful and unique journey and we are grateful and humbled to be part of it.
Thank you again for spending some time with us. We know you have the strength and wisdom to decide what is best for your baby. If it involves us, we promise to provide a loving, supportive, and safe home. We promise to show our child what the world has to offer and cherish them for the gift that they are for the rest of our lives.
Love,
Samantha & Caleb
Fun Facts about Samantha & Caleb
Favorite places: Mexico is our favorite place in the world. We have traveled through it extensively and think the culture and the people are just the best! We also love New York City (our home) and anywhere warm.
Favorite foods: ICE CREAM for both of us. Samantha is vegetarian and actually loves vegetables. Caleb will eat basically anything but his favorite food is Pizza (common, yes, but the bread & melted cheese combo can’t be beat).
Favorite hobbies: We are both curious people so love to explore anything and everything. In the warm months we take our scooter to the beach every chance we get. Samantha is an avid runner and loves anything that involves animals. Caleb enjoys playing sports, listening to podcasts, photography, and making music videos in his free time.
Favorite music: This is a hard one as Caleb is a professional musician and Samantha has a degree in Music Business – but if we had to pick this is what it would be: Samantha: I love a mix of 70’s singer-songwriters and soul/R&B. Some of my favorite artists are Joni Mitchell, Donny Hathaway, and Bruno Mars. Caleb: I like to keep up with whatever is current, but my true music loves are Prince, Randy Newman, and Janet Jackson.

Jon & Henry
Hello! We’re Jon and Henry (Henry is the redhead in the pictures). We know that making an adoption plan is not easy, and whatever choice you make, it will be the best one for your child. We hope that reading this letter will tell you something about who we are and about the loving and supportive home, family, and community we are so eager to share with a child.
Both of us are college professors. Jon teaches writing and Henry teaches math. We’ve been together for five wonderful years, and married for the last year and a half. Together we like traveling, storytelling games, taking walks in the woods and cooking. We’re also learning to bake, which has been a ton of fun (and delicious).
We live in a big house in a beautiful, diverse neighborhood of Philadelphia filled with trees and historic homes. We love being able to walk to nearby cafés and parks, and especially to see all of our friends who live nearby. We’re active in our neighborhood’s synagogue, where we’ve found a welcoming community of friends, including a lot of families with kids, and other families formed by adoption.
We both come from close-knit, loving families who we visit whenever we can and who are excited for us to become parents, and we’ve found an amazing group of close friends both in our neighborhood and all over the country who have become part of our family too.
Our home will always be full of books, plants, music, hugs, good food, and good friends, and your child will be part of a genuine community of family, friends and neighbors who will be there for them as they grow. We’re proud of the loving home and community we’ve built, and we can’t wait to welcome a child into it.

Jessica & Ari
Hello and thank you for considering us as you explore adoption. We know this must be a difficult time for you, but we want you to know how incredibly strong, brave and selfless we think you are.
We are very excited about the prospect of becoming parents together. Ari has three boys from his previous relationship, and we have always talked about adding a fourth child to our happy mix. Our boys, Sam, Harry and Ben are all excited to become big brothers again, and spoil a little sister or brother
We met on-line in late 2007. Ari will tell you that Jessica made the first move, but Jessica will tell you that while she emailed first, Ari started the conversation by liking Jessica’s picture.
After a month of emailing each other, we met in person at a restaurant, and it was love at first sight. We talked for hours, even though there was a live band at the restaurant, and it was hard to hear each other. Within three dates, we became exclusive, and in 2010, we were married.
We have made our home together in New Jersey, in a town about an hour away from both New York City, where Jessica works, and Philadelphia, where Ari was raised and still has family.
We love to travel, visit museums, go to concerts, read, cook and bake and go to the movies. We also volunteer with different charities, including working with the homeless and animal rescue. We can’t wait to share these experiences with another child.
Fun Facts about Jessica & Ari
Favorite Sports teams: (Jessica) I am a New Englander at heart, I love the Patriots, Red Sox and Bruins. But I do like the Mets and the Knicks too!
(Ari) I prefer golf over team sports. But since I’m from Philadelphia, I would say the Eagles, 76’ers and Phillies.
Favorite Holidays: (Jessica) If I had to choose, I would say Thanksgiving or New Year’s. But really, any holiday where I get to be with my family and bake for them is fine by me! (Ari) I also like Thanksgiving, because I love having all the family together.
Favorite Music: We both love all types of music, but our favorite is classic rock.
Favorite Places: We both really love Cape Cod – that’s where we were married! We also love London, which is where we spent our honeymoon.

Reshma
Hello,
I appreciate you taking the time to learn about me.
As long as I can remember, I’ve wanted to be a mom. I’ve also always known that I am capable of loving a child that didn’t come through me. I consider adoption a special and unique way to become a parent.
After 15 years of establishing myself as a professional working in education, I’m ready to devote myself to motherhood. When my baby arrives, I will take a few months off and my work is such that I can work from home as needed. I also have a whole village of family members and friends who are ready to support my child and me.
In my free time, I spend as much time as I can with loved ones. I also enjoy cooking, running, hiking, and being outdoors in general. Whenever possible, I travel so that I experience other cultures and expand my worldview.
There is no shortage of love and blessings in my life. I’ve enjoyed many privileges–a great education, meaningful work, travel, and the opportunity to build and sustain bonds with many wonderful friends and family members. The one dream that I have not yet fulfilled is to become a mom. I am ready to be a parent and help a little one achieve his or her hopes and dreams.
Thank you again for reading this profile. I’m wishing you the best.

Congratulations! Shubha & Daniel have adopted a baby boy!
Hi! Thank you for taking the time to look at our profile. We’re grateful that you’re choosing to learn more about us.
We are Daniel and Shubha, and we’ve been together since 2012 and are a writer and film editor, and non-profit worker. We met in New York City and got married in 2015. We have always wanted to adopt a child as a way to grow our family. We would be excited to bring up a child in our neighborhood in Brooklyn – we would love to take them to our community garden and plant vegetables together, read stories (and make up our own), visit the children’s museum around the corner, and just spend time with lots of aunties and uncles.
Above all, we would provide our child with unconditional love, support them in growing into whoever they want to be, and surround the child with a warm and stable home.
We can only imagine the courage and love you are feeling right now to be considering adoption and we truly send you all our best wishes and strength in making the right decision for you and your child, regardless of whether we are a part of it.
Fun Facts about Shubha & Daniel

Favorite places: Newfoundland, Canada (our first vacation together!) and Prospect Park (where we got married!); also the Brooklyn Botanical Garden in Brooklyn, and our local museums and community art galleries. We love anywhere we can have fun alone or with family and friends.
Favorite foods: Shubha’s favorites include carrot cake, pasta, okra, jackfruit, and anything with maple syrup. Daniel loves mangos, tomatoes with fresh bread, burritos, and anything with poppy seeds.
Favorite holidays: Shubha’s favorite holiday is Christmas. Even though her family isn’t Christian, Christmas was always a festive time with all of her family growing up. Shubha also loves hand-making costumes for Halloween. Daniel’s favorites are also Halloween and the holidays with special meals – Thanksgiving and Passover.

Congratulations! Mark & Kris have adopted a baby girl!
Hello! We’re Kris and Mark. Thank you for taking the time to look at our profile. We admire your courage for considering an adoption plan. Whatever you choose to do, we feel privileged that you considered us.
We met in Philadelphia twelve years ago and have been together ever since. We’ve traveled all over the world together, bought our first home and then our second, and got married in 2014. Through it all we’ve talked about having children, and in 2016 we were fortunate to welcome our daughter Violet into our family through adoption. Being the fathers of this amazing little girl has only confirmed for us that we want our family to keep growing, and for Violet to have a brother or sister.
We’re excited to tell you all about our lives and we hope that this book can be a start. We share a lot of the same passions: food, travel, good friends, and family. We’re blessed with a great network of people who love and support us.
We’re honored by your consideration, and wish you all the best in your journey.

Congratulations! Jane & Kelly have adopted a baby girl!
Hello!
Thank you so much for giving us the opportunity to introduce ourselves! We are Jane and Kelly. We met four years ago in Philadelphia, where we live now. We were married in May, 2018. Kelly is an elementary school principal and Jane is a surgeon. Although we work hard, our family is our top priority. We are currently raising two children together, Jacques and Oona, who are Kelly’s biological children. They are incredibly kind and talented, each in their own way. We are looking forward to bringing a baby into our family.
There is a park one street away from our house with a swing set, a jungle gym and grass where children love to play. We have wonderful neighbors and often the families on our block get together for soccer games and barbecues. We are also incredibly lucky to be able to provide our children with an excellent education at Kelly’s school.
We want to raise a child who feels safe, secure and loved. We want them to be kind and take care of the people around them. Ultimately, we want them to know they can make a positive impact on the world. Our friends and family could not be more supportive of our plans to adopt, and we are excited to welcome a child into our immediate and extended family! Thank you again for considering us as adoptive parents to your baby. We admire your courage, and we send you love and strength throughout your journey. We hope this book helps you get to know us!

Congratulations! Linda & Mike have adopted a baby girl!
We are so glad you took the time to look at our profile. We hope we can share with you through these photos how glad we are to have the chance to open our lives to a child. We both come from large extended families and have always been surrounded by people we love and care for. Our joy is to share that love and care.
Linda always says her family brings people together. Both her parents remarried and she is close with both of her step parents. In fact her step mom and her dad divorced, but her step mom remains a very important person in her life. So much so, that Linda was part of the wedding party when her step mom remarried. All of our family parties are lively gatherings, when the whole gang is present or even when it’s just smaller groups. We like to have people over to our house and fire up the grill in our backyard.
We still find time to travel as it is something we both enjoy and we have been to places like Mexico, Spain, France, Germany, Peru, and Jamaica, just to name a few. We hope to continue traveling with children and let them see the wonderful world we live in too. We also enjoy hanging out with out friends around the city and we both love Philly and all the things there are to do. We are life long Philadelphians and are super proud to say that. We hope you enjoy the pictures as much as we did taking them.

Favorite Hobbies: We both enjoy quiet moments like reading and listening to music at home, but also when we get to spend time with friends whether it is out to dinner or out at a game or a concert.

Congratulations! Nikki & John have adopted a baby girl!
Hi! We are John and Nikki. We thank you for considering us as you explore adoption for your baby. We hope that you will learn a little bit about us and who we are. We want you to know that having a family has been our dream for a long time. We are blessed to live a fulfilled life and becoming parents would be truly a gifted experience.
We met by chance in 2003. Both of us were living in Chicago at the time but somehow found ourselves at the Newark airport on the 4th of July. Nikki didn’t know how to get to the city and had to ask for directions from a stranger standing by the train ticket machine. That kind stranger happened to be John. We spoke the entire train ride and learned that we have many things in common such as travel, food, and sports. When we parted ways, John gave Nikki his business card. This could have been the end of story, but it’s not. A month later back in Chicago, Nikki contacted John and asked if he wanted to meet for drinks around their offices. We met up for a beer, had a great debate about football, and as they say, the rest is history. We’ve been married since 2005 and have enjoyed many debates about our favorite teams.
In the city, we enjoyed trying new types of cuisines, riding our bikes in the park, and meeting up with friends. Also, we’re happy to spend some down time at our Brooklyn home. We want to provide a home that embraces our community and the world.
Thank you for taking the time to review our profile. We cannot imagine the decision you’re facing. We wish you strength and encouragement as you make this difficult decision.
Best Regards,
-Nikki & John
