Below are some of our hopeful adoptive families. Interested in learning more about any of these adoptive families or others? Contact us now.

• 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.

• 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. 

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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!

• 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.

• Marian & Jesse

  Hello and thank you so much for considering us as adoptive parents for your child. We feel a great compassion for you and the decision you are making now. We can promise you we will not take parenting for granted and hope this letter gives you a glimpse of the type of parents we will be. Since we met fourteen years ago we knew we wanted to have a family. Now that we know adoption is our path for parenthood, we feel excited and ready. As teachers we believe it is important for children to grow up in a nurturing home with the freedom to explore lots of interests and
  grow creatively.

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.

We’re grateful for the many important people in our lives and the thought of expanding our family warms our hearts.

• Emily & Tim

  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!

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.

We’re Andy and Andre.  Although we have not met yet, we appreciate your strength, courage, and love for your baby.  We feel honored that you would consider us as potential parents for your child.  There’s an African proverb that says it takes a village to raise a child.  We hope that this profile provides you some insight into both who we are and what our “village” is like.

  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.

• 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.

• Alan & Sammy

  Hello! Thank you so much for giving us this opportunity to introduce ourselves! We are Sammy and Alan. We met back in 2003 and it was an instant connection as we share a lot in common not just in interests but in what is important to us. We got our first apartment in 2005 together, our first home in 2013 and on June 16, 2017, we celebrated our love together in what was the best day of our lives. One of the shared interests and what we find important to us is family. We treasure our time and experiences with our family and are beyond excited to have the opportunity to become parents.
