Unplanned Pregnancy - Choose Adoption

James and Mary

Dear Expectant Mother/Family,
We are James (Jim) and Mary and are excited to take the opportunity to share our lives with you through this profile. We admire and thank you for making the courageous decision to make an adoption plan. We hope our profile provides encouragement to you with the important decision you are making and will lead you in the right direction. Currently, we do not have any children. However, we both have the desire to share our love and provide a loving, stable home, to a child. After struggles with infertility, we came to the conclusion that adoption is God’s plan for us. We are more than happy to meet with you and answer any questions you may have. more …

There are two lasting bequests we can give our children. One is roots. The other is wings. ~Hodding Carter, Jr.
What a truly awesome and inspiring decision you have made to give your baby life and plan this adoption. While we can only guess what personality and character traits your baby will develop, we know that your selfless spirit will be passed on. Deciding to make an adoption plan for your baby was just the beginning for you. Now, you have the responsibility of selecting the couple you want to care for this precious child. We can only image how daunting this task must be for you. Someone once said that happiness shared is happiness doubled, and burdens shared are burdens lessened. In that spirit, we would like to share this adoption experience with you. We would be honored to join you on the journey ahead. We can’t wait to get to know you, and we hope that this profile helps you get better acquainted with us. more …

Jason and April

Hi! We are Jason and April! We are very excited and ready to give our unconditional love to a child and expand our family through adoption! Thank you for taking the time to learn more about us. Even though we do not know you yet, we have a great amount of respect and admiration for you. We cannot truly understand everything you are going through, but we know the plan you are making is being made out of love, courage and selflessness. Adoption has touched our hearts in so many ways. We both grew up with family members and friends that were adopted. We also have known a birth mother who planned adoption for her child. We are able to see firsthand how the experience has benefited all involved. We are fortunate to have all of these people in our lives and we definitely feel it has helped us to gain better appreciation and insight. Our hearts are open and we are excited and ready to unconditionally love a child. more …

"One hundred years from now, it will not matter what kind of car I drove or what kind of clothes I wore. All that will matter is that I made a difference in the life of a child." - Forest Witcraft
Dear Expectant Parent(s), Hi! Our names are Jay and Gwen. Thank you for taking the time to look at our profile and read our story. We are excited, nervous and happy (all at once!) about adoption. We cannot begin to understand how difficult it must be to make a plan for your child and we admire your courage. We pray that you have all the support you need to make the best decision for your child and that God will be with you every step of the way. Before we were married, we talked about our dreams of someday having two or three children. Through adoption, we hope that our dreams can become reality. A child will be a gift entrusted to us, one to be loved unconditionally and given every opportunity to succeed in life. We will care, guide, and encourage them every day of their life. We believe it is important to teach our children about the value of responsibility, honesty and helping others. We will play with them, laugh with them, read to them, and celebrate their accomplishments, no matter how big or small. Most of all, we will love them. more …

Jeff and Heather

Thank you for taking the time to get to know us. We imagine this must be a very difficult time for you, and we admire your strength in looking for a family to raise your child. We have dreamed about having children since we first met, but after getting married in 2003 we struggled with infertility. While it was difficult, we know it made our relationship stronger and helped us realize that what we want most out of life is to be parents. We were both excited to pursue adoption. Growing up, we both had close friends who were adopted, so we have always considered adoption to be a wonderful way to build a family. We got to experience this first hand in 2008 when we were blessed with the adoption of a beautiful baby boy, Finn. From the moment we saw him we knew that it was meant to be, and that adoption was the way we were supposed to build our family. We love being parents and are excited to grow our family. We would be honored if you would consider us. We hope that knowing your child will be raised in a loving and caring home will help make a very difficult decision less challenging. We promise you that your child will be raised knowing how much you loved them, and just how special you are. more …

Jeremy and Leslie

Dear Birth Mother, Hello, we are Jeremy and Leslie. We first want you to know how admirable and brave we think you are for pursuing an adoption plan for your baby. Each day we pray for you and your family to find the peace and comfort you need in your pregnancy and your adoption. We are truly humbled that you are considering us as an option for your baby. We are beginning our 15th year of marriage and have been blessed with two children. Both pregnancies were difficult and high risk, so we decided to continue building our family through adoption. Our boys are very excited to become big brothers and our extended family is excited and very supportive as well. Words can’t even begin to describe our excitement to become parents again and to see the relationship between the boys and their sibling. more …

Jim and Angela

Thank you for taking the time to read our profile and learn a little about us. We are sure that you are reading many letters just like this one, and we really appreciate that you’ve chosen to read ours. We can’t begin to imagine the decision you’re faced with right now. Once we decided to adopt we tried to put ourselves in your shoes—how do you pick a family to love and raise your child? We would be honored if you would consider us as parents for this precious life you are carrying. At the same time we know you are making the most important decision of your life, and no matter whom you choose, your love will go with this child because of the choice you make. You should be proud of yourself for making a birth plan. Our prayers are with you as you make this important decision. We’d love the opportunity to talk with you and get to know more about you. We’ll gladly share more information about ourselves as well. more …

Jim and Brandy

When we are little, our family, friends, and even society tell us how our lives should go. However, we soon learn that not everything goes according to plan. The gift of life does not follow any rules or schedules. It is one of life’s most precious gifts and places demands on us that take a life time to appreciate. In this time of change for you, we can only imagine what you are experiencing. We offer our thoughts and prayers as you bring forth a new life into this world. Sharing this new life with adoptive parents is a profound act of both generosity and trust. Life presents each of us with many unexpected challenges. But behind every disappointment is an opportunity waiting to be accepted. Before we got married, we knew that we would never be able to have kids biologically. We knew that someday we would have to trust in the generosity and kindness of another to let us experience raising a family of our own. Preparing for an adoption was truly an enlightening and spiritual process. Luckily for us, our faith was rewarded in October 2009 when we adopted our son, Logan. Now as we once again make preparations to add to our family, we know you are also experiencing a time of powerful emotions and a great deliberation that will shape your life and the life of your child. We are sincerely hoping that, through you, our dreams for having another child can be realized. more …

John and Laura

Dear Birth Mother, What a courageous and loving decision you have made to choose adoption. We imagine this is not an easy decision. We thank you for reading our profile. We promise to give your child all the love we have to offer. Whether that love comes from Laura’s nurturing kindness or John’s fun-loving example, we will vow to do our best. We have seen with our first adoption how an open relationship with our daughter’s birth mother is important to how she will be able to understand her life story. We would be interested in that type of openness with you if that is something that feels comfortable to you. We wish you the best throughout your pregnancy! more …

John and Tammy

Hi there, our names are John and Tammy. Thank you for taking the time to get to know a little bit about us! We have been happily married for eight years, together for ten, and this is a first marriage for both of us. From the beginning, starting a family was always a priority. From the day we met, our discussions of having children always included having children ourselves and through adoption. Unfortunately, we faced many struggles in starting our family. With all of this, our desire to be parents is strong and perhaps this is where our lives are meant to cross through the gift of adoption. We have several married friends blessed with children through adoption. We see firsthand the love and happiness that come through forming a family from adoption. We admire your selflessness and love in making this decision to choose adoption for your child. more …
