Waiting Families
Joe and Susan
Courage comes in many forms, some not easily recognized as such. Although we do not know all the thoughts and worries you have, we do know that this is not an easy time for you. You are about to make one of the most important and most difficult decisions of your life. The fact that you chose adoption shows us that you are trying to plan the best possible future for your son or daughter. If you entrust your child with us, we will love him or her and do everything we can to give him or her the best possible life. more ...
Joel and Joy
You must be a very special person! We cannot even begin to imagine the emotions you are feeling as you search for just the right mom and dad for the precious gift you have to give. Although we don’t know each other, please know we have been praying for our future child’s birth mom. We deeply admire your courage and strength as you make a decision that will bring incredible joy to whichever couple you choose. After struggling with infertility and a miscarriage for over six years, God blessed us with a daughter and a son through two successful adoptions. It has been our hope to grow our family and to share our love with another amazing little baby. To nurture and hold a child helps make our life complete and fills an emptiness we have in our hearts. To have the opportunity to love and raise your child would be an awesome gift…breathtaking to say the least! As we patiently wait for a child, we will trust you feel God’s arms of love and peace wrapped around your heart as you make this life changing decision…both for you and the adoptive parents of your choice. Written with much love and respect for the decision you are making, more ...

Ever since our engagement we have talked about how many children we would like to have. Back then we had no idea that Christine’s infertility would take away some of our choices. Adoption is something we have often discussed as the years went by, and our dream to conceive a child was not realized. We hope this profile gives you an insight into who we are and that ultimately you choose us in your adoption plans. We firmly believe that the hard times, as well as the good times, make a marriage stronger. Living through it and learning to accept infertility has strengthened our marriage and brought us closer together. Becoming pregnant and delivering a child is no longer an option for us, but through adoption we could experience the joys and sorrows of raising a child. It is said that “adoption, in its purest form, is the ultimate act of love from a birthmother to her child”. We would be honored to be a part of this ultimate act. more ...

Dear Birthmother, Thank you for taking the time to learn a little bit about us and what brought us to this moment in our lives. We have been married for five years and in 2006 we were blessed with a son. However, during his delivery there were extreme complications that left us unable to have more children. Through the past few years, we have not been able to rid ourselves of the feeling that our family is just not quite complete. We truly believe there is a child that is meant for us and are excited about growing our family through adoption. We were both raised in stable, compassionate families and both of our parents have been married for more than 30 years. Being parents has proven to be the most challenging, yet glorious thing we have ever been a part of. We are not saying we are perfect parents or that we have the perfect life. However, if we are given the chance, we will love your child with all our hearts and do our best to raise them to be a moral, compassionate, confident individual. We will raise your child to know they were placed with our family out of love, not rejection. We are very passionate about becoming parents again and thank you for considering us. We want you to know we respect you and are deeply impressed by your courage. more ...
John and Kelli
Dear Expectant Mother and Family, It takes incredible courage, kindness, and love to choose adoption for your child. We want to thank you for choosing life and for reading our letter. We hope it gives you some peace and comfort to know how much we have to offer your baby. Your decision can change the lives of people like us who could not otherwise be parents. We would be honored to raise your child in a loving home as part of our family. We will provide a home filled with love, affection, respect, safety, understanding, encouragement, honesty, and humor. That is how we live our lives with each other, and we can’t wait to pass that on. We are also surrounded by incredible warmth and support of our family and friends. Everyone is very excited about the possibility of welcoming a new addition. We met in 2003 and got married in 2005. At the age of 24, the summer before getting married, Kelli lost the ability to conceive or carry a child. So, before we got married, we knew that adoption was the way God planned for us to have a family. more ...

To someone special, Words cannot express how much respect and admiration we have for your courage in considering adoption for your baby’s future. Through this selfless act you will give a precious gift not only to your child but to a couple like us eager to share our hearts and home with a child. Several of our friends have adopted so we are very familiar with the joys of adoption, and we are very excited about building our family this way. We feel like the luckiest people on earth, and we can’t wait to share our love and lives with another child. Our names are Joseph and Elizabeth (Joe and Liz to our family and friends.) We met online at e-harmony.com and knew instantly that we were meant to be together. We searched to find true love and know where the journey can take us. Now we are searching for a baby to complete our family. After a brief engagement, we were married in a beautiful church ceremony in April of 2005. We were surrounded by our family and friends and were able to celebrate our love with them. Our marriage is a strong and happy one, and we are truly best friends. We have so much love for each other and want to share that love with your child. more ...
Kevin and Andrea
Baby boy placed 12/09!
Hello! Our names are Kevin and Andrea, and we would like to take a moment to thank you for choosing to read our profile. Although we cannot begin to imagine what you must be thinking or feeling right now, we have a tremendous amount of respect for you and the decision you are about to face. We only want what is best for you and your baby, and we would be proud and honored should you choose us as your child’s adoptive parents. Family is very important to us, and we look forward to filling our home and our lives with the pitter patter of little feet. We have been happily married since 1999 and are blessed to have a very open and honest relationship. We first met almost 16 years ago and have been best friends ever since. The love and respect that we share is something we value very much and feel very fortunate to have. We have always wanted to have children, and after several years of unexplained infertility and God leading us to Adoption Associates, we were blessed with the adoption of our daughter, Morgan, in January of 2007. Kevin was also adopted and wants to share that experience with his own children. We feel that we can provide the loving, caring, and stable home that every child needs and deserves. more ...
Kevin and Kristy
Dear Birthparent, From personal experience, we know that adoption is a blessing to everyone involved: The birth family, the adoptive family, and most importantly the child. We admire you for taking the difficult steps to do what you feel is best for your baby. We will never begin to understand how hard of a decision this has been for you, but we do know that your choice was made out of love for your child and because of this, we have so much appreciation and respect for you. We hope and pray that you find peace with your decision. We have struggled with infertility for three years, and while we have experienced disappointment, we are excited that God's plan for us is to adopt our children and raise them in a safe and loving home. Our family and friends are thrilled about our decision to adopt and are eager to meet our first child. We have experienced the many blessings of adoption first-hand, as three of our nieces and nephews were adopted and several of our friends have adopted children as well. Any child that we adopt will have the benefit of having friends and cousins that were adopted also. Thank you for taking a few minutes to look over our profile. We would be honored to join with you in the common goal of providing a loving and supportive environment in which your child can grow and thrive. more ...
Mark and Lisa
We are filled with hope and encouragement as we read through the profiles and letters written by birth and adoptive parents. Seeing birth parents with the courage to impart life and trust the care and nourishment of their treasures is truly inspiring, and we honor you for contemplating this step. We have been blessed to participate in this shared miracle in 2004, when we became parents via adoption of our beloved daughter Sarah. We have so much love to share, and we hope and pray that we can be so blessed once again. We dream about helping our children learn who they are, encouraging them to find joy in life, and providing an environment where they can grow to be their very best. We want to tell you how courageous you are to face the difficult but important decisions about the future of your child. Only you can know what is right for your individual situation. We wish you peace and comfort in your decision, whatever it may be. more ...
Mick and Paula
Thank you for considering adoption. We can’t even begin to understand the emotions that you must be feeling. There are many tough decisions that you will have to make. We hope that by choosing adoption, you will experience the inner peace and comfort that ultimately comes from making a wise decision when faced with difficult choices. Adoption is truly the most loving thing anyone can do because a child is the most precious gift of all! Adoption has always been a part of our lives; Paula’s mother was adopted and our family thanks God that her birthmother made the best choice for her situation. It gave Paula’s grandparents the opportunity to have a family. Without adoption, Paula wouldn’t be here. We hope that adoption will be a way for us to start our family too. We will raise him/her knowing how much they were loved by his/her birthmother. She will be an important person in our lives forever and the child will always know what a huge sacrifice this was for her. We live by thinking that things happen for a reason and we know that we will be able to provide a loving, safe, and stable home for your child. more ...
