  Thank you so much for taking the time to look at our profile. We admire your strength and the love you have for your child.

• Paul & Matthew

  Our names are Paul and Matthew, an international couple (one French, one midwestern American from St Louis, Missouri). We are an adventurous duo who have been together for 13 years. We were married 5 years ago in Brooklyn, NY. Our relationship has taken us from France (where we met), to England, Japan, Germany, and then spent 10 years living in Brooklyn. Last year, we made a choice to pursue a passion for nature and move to a new home in the magnificent Pacific Northwest, now calling Seattle home.

  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 […]

• 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.

• 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. 

• Lisa & Theo

  Hello my name is Lisa, and my name is Theo. I am a Special Education Preschool Teacher, and I am an Artist/Stock trader and we have been married for seven wonderful years. We are honest, compassionate, caring, committed and fun loving people. We were both like this when we were single and are even more like this as a couple. We can’t wait to share our lives with a child, a life filled with unconditional love, support, and adventure.

• Gigi & Billy

  Hello. we hope that you reading this letter is the first step in getting to know us better. You’ll learn more about who we are, what our parenting dreams and goals are, and what kind of parents we are and will be. Right now there are three of us: Gigi, Billy, and our daughter, Magnolia. All of us have been eager to add another. Gigi looks forward to arts and cultural fun plus expanding the dining room dance party. Billy looks forward to exploring the outdoors, gardening, and cooking up a storm together. Magnolia is looking forward to a playmate and making it one step closer to her lifelong dream of getting a minivan.

• Jacque & Jess

  Thank you for taking the time to get to know us. We want to let you know how much we respect your decision to consider an adoption plan for your child. We know that this is a difficult decision and we are humbled by your strength, courage and love for your child.

• 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.

• Eric & Tyler

  Hi there! Although we have not yet met you, we admire the strength, courage, and love you have for your child and we are humbled that you would consider allowing us to be part of your journey. We are grateful for the time you are spending getting to know us. We are two smart guys who can be serious when we need to be, but would much rather be adventurous and a little silly. Whether it’s a hayride with our nephews, surprise birthday trips, visiting every random tourist attraction we can find, or just quiet nights at home on the couch with our dogs, we try to pack as much fun into life as possible. And we can’t wait to share our crazy, wonderful life with a child.

• Sarah & Hossannah

  Hello! Kamusta! The two of us met five years ago and have been inseparable ever since. Our cozy home is full of music, dancing, bad singing and big dinners. We’re both teachers and love our kids. We spend our weekends exploring the city, visiting art museums, taking random classes, or working on our backyard garden. We especially love spending time with our nieces and nephews, and are so excited to become parents through adoption.

• Whitney & Robert

  Hello! 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 factoids 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.

• Melanie & Joost

  Hello! We’re Melanie and Joost. Thank you for taking time to learn about us! It is an honor to be considered as a potential adoptive family for your child. We admire your courage and love in considering an adoption plan. We met while in graduate school and have been married since 2009. Sonja joined our family 4 years ago, and has brought such joy and love into our lives. We are both ready and excited to provide unconditional love to another child and to begin a new step on our parenthood journey. We are committed to providing a loving, safe, nurturing home where children can laugh, play, learn, grow and find support for achieving their individual dreams. Any child joining our family would be welcomed into a large family with loving grandparents, uncles, aunts, cousins, and friends. We are all very excited to welcome another child into our family!

• Lynn & Luke

  Hello! Thank you for taking time to learn a little about us. We are so excited to welcome a baby into our home. We have been together since 2006, and married since 2011. We met while working together on a project to help conserve endangered wildlife. We both enjoy the outdoors, cooking and eating, traveling, and spending time with our families and friends. We started our family two years ago with the adoption of our son, Grady, through Open Arms. We are so excited to continue to grow our family through adoption, and can’t wait to share our loving home with a new baby.

• Mark & Kris

  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.

• Johanna & Brad

  Hello!
  We are Johanna and Brad, a graphic and museum designer and attorney living in Brooklyn, NY. We’ve been together for 15 years, married for 10.
  While we realize this is a difficult time for you, we are very excited to share with you a brief window into our lives. We always knew we wanted to raise a child together, and we have been looking to start a family for several years now. We have chosen adoption as the way to build our family. We know that raising a child will have its unexpected challenges, but we are ready for the task. We are fortunate to have supportive family, steady jobs, and a wonderful home. Most importantly, we have a strong relationship filled with love. We are excited to be able to share this all with a child. We hope you can share in our vision.

• Jen & Peter

  Welcome! Thank you for choosing to get to know our family as you consider adoption for your baby. We can’t imagine the emotions you are feeling right now, and we are honored that you’ve decided to learn more about us as you make a plan for the future. Our family is one rooted in love, joy, and a healthy dose of fun + silliness. Becoming parents to our son, Will, has been the greatest joy of our lives— and we cannot wait to add to our family and make Will a big brother.

• Missy & Dan-el

  Hello! We are Missy and Dan-el, and we are delighted that you have taken the time to view our profile. Thank you for considering our profile as you make your decision. We met at a baseball game 10 years ago and haven’t looked back. What brought us together was a love of sports, a zest for travel, and a passion for reading—all things we would love to share with our child. Our home is multicultural, from the foods we eat to the holidays we celebrate: Missy grew up in an Italian-American household in the suburbs, and Dan-el grew up in a bilingual Dominican-American household in the city. We love nothing more than to bring our families and friends together.

• Marian & Jesse

  Hello! Thank you so much for considering us as adoptive parents for your child. We have always dreamed of being parents and we promise you we will never take that role for granted. We hope this letter and pictures give a glimpse of who we are and who we hope to be as parents. We’ve been together for twelve years, and early on we knew we had something special. We’ve developed a foundation of love and trust that has only grown stronger throughout the years.

• Shira & Omri

  Hello, We are Shira, Omri and Adam. We are honored to have you reading our family’s story and in awe of your courage to consider making an adoption plan. Our family is guided by unconditional love and openness. We are a family that lives by our values: We believe that all people are created in the image of God, and should be treated with respect, given equal access to clean water, healthy food, healthcare and a good education. We believe in empowering all women’s voices and choices. We practice gratitude and giving back to the community.

• Sarah & Steven

  Hello – We appreciate the significance of the path in front of you and can’t thank you enough for the chance to share our story. Putting it down on paper helped us realize just how much we cherish time with loved ones – whether celebrating a holiday, running an errand or simply hanging out. We’re grateful for the many important people in our lives and the thought of expanding our family warms our hearts.

• Linda & Mike

  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.

• Fran & Mike

  Hello, Let us first say, we think you’re a strong and amazing person, and we’re honored to be a part of your journey. Thank you for taking the time to look through our profile. We hope it helps you to get an idea of who we are as a couple and as a family.  We are Fran and Mike. We’ve been together since 2007, married since 2011 and have a four-year-old son by birth. We love being parents and can’t wait to welcome another child into our family!

This must be an incredibly difficult time for you and I wish you much peace of mind. I honor you for the courage that you have as you make the important decisions in front of you. Thank you for considering me.

  I am a life long Philadelphian. I am an outgoing person who loves to connect with people. I am a single woman with a large extended family of parents, aunts/uncles and cousins in the area. In addition, I am part of a large community. Though I left the area for ten years of schooling I have been back in the community for 16 years. I live in a wonderful, safe and diverse area in a home that I own right outside of the city.
