Tim and Angie

Hi, our names are Tim and Angie.  We cannot explain how excited we are to become parents through adoption! We have been in prayer daily for you, and the hard decision that lies ahead of you. We can only imagine how you feel, and know that our loving Heavenly Father is thinking of you and is wanting to give you so much love through this hard time in your life. We truly believe that God counts every tear and understands every emotion that you feel. We want to thank you for looking at us to be adoptive parents for your baby, and we want you to now that we will love this baby with everything we have.

We have been married for 5 years, and have been together for 7 years. We have been down the hard road of infertility, and it has been an emotional journey. We have such a love for children, and we looking forward to the day that God provides us with our miracle. We have always known we wanted to adopt. Angie has three adopted siblings, and has experienced the joy of adoption in her own family. We also have many adopted children in our church family, and we love to see how God has shaped them and given them such joy and love. We both come from large families, and they are so excited about our adoption. We have 12 nieces and nephews, and the older ones tell us they are so excited to get a new cousin!  Adoption is a gift and we are so grateful for the opportunity to be apart of it.

Tim works at a Fortune 500 Company in which he is in leadership. He gets to use his skills from his college degree in business administration to help build and grow this company. Angie works as a graphic designer for churches. She loves to be apart of these churches and to see the amazing things that God is doing. We love to go hiking together, and to go to new places and see and do new things.

Thank you for reading a little about our lives and we would love for you to learn more about us through our adoption profile or by meeting us. We pray that God will give you his peace and comfort through this hard time in your life.

We would like to say thank you from the bottom of our hearts for choosing life for your baby, and we our honored that you are considering us to adopt. We have been blessed to be married for five years and are looking forward to spending the rest of our lives together. Liz is currently in her last semester of nursing school and is excited to start her career as a nurse in the new year! (Part time of course!). She loves scrapbooking and sewing. Richie runs a small construction company that his father started over 35 years ago, and works mainly from our home office. He has an amazing love for music. He writes and produces his own music, and serves at our church as an Audio Engineer. He also plays roller hockey.

Henrik & Alicia

Upon first meeting Henrik & Alicia, you will know immediately that this couple is uniquely special.  The first thing that you will notice is their obvious love for one another.  They have a mutual respect for each other and are quietly affectionate with one another.  As both are educated as engineers, they ironically both have very creative sides as well.  They are lovers of art and music and are very cultured, yet down to earth as well. They are fun and friendly.  Henrik & Alicia also enjoy spending time together playing sports outdoors or going on a walk or bike ride.

Henrik & Alicia enjoy traveling - whether it be a weekend away in the local mountains or going abroad for some serious fun, rest and relaxation.

Just this Summer, they enjoyed a Texas rodeo, fishing in the Northwoods of Wisconsin and an amazing adventure in St. John, Virgin Islands.  They are so looking forward to time at home with a new baby and planning kid friendly family vacations.Though they do not have children yet, they volunteer for their local Boy Scouts.  Alicia also involves herself with the Big Brothers/Big Sisters organization through her work.  They share, “Volunteering is a way we can be connected to our community and the kids within it while freely giving our time and sharing our talents.” We are thrilled to feature Henrik & Alicia as we know that this special couple has so much to offer a child.  Education, stability, culture, a beautiful home, teaching the importance of giving to others, an incredible extended family and most importantly ~ LOVE.

Steve & Susan

Hello and thank you for the incredibly difficult and brave choice you are making for your child.  Life is so precious and having an opportunity to adopt is just as precious to Susan and me.  We have been married for more than 20 years now and have desired being parents from the first moment.  Susan is a natural with children.  They are drawn to her like a magnet.  I love kids and long to share my life experiences with a child of my own.  Susan grew up on the east coast and joined the Air Force from high school.  She then sought an electrical engineering degree from Cal Poly Tech and interned with Jet Propulsion Lab in Pasadena, a division of NASA.  She later changed her degree to Education so that she could work with children.  She is a wonderfully gifted teacher who tutors and mentors many young people.  I grew up in Southern California and joined the Navy out of high school.  I have had many great experiences in my life that has shaped me in what I now do.  I work as a facilities manager for a great church in Atlanta, Georgia.  I have a great gift of combining my art with my skills in construction to create wonderful atmospheres for our churches.  I also work with the youth ministry here at the church.  It is so cool to love the work you do as Sue and I do.  We also love movies and dancing, camping and hiking, bike rides and the ocean.  We are faithful Christians and believe that God is in control of all we do and will supply all of our needs.  We also believe that He alone determines the time for a child to bless our home, and we are prayerful for you as you are making this decision.  Thank you for considering us.  God bless.

Jay & Kristin

Thank you for considering us as potential adoptive parents for your child.  We are Jay and Kristin.  We have been married for 8 years and we have both worked for the same company, an electric utility, for almost 15 years.  Kristi is a Supervisor and Jay is a Project Manager.  While we have not been able to conceive children ourselves, we have a home and family that is filled with love.  Both of us have large extended families with several children and regular gatherings.  In our home your child will be loved and will grow to become a capable, caring adult.

We both greatly value education and have completed college degrees.  We understand the importance of education to both improve quality of life as well as to nurture a child’s natural curiosity.

Kristi enjoys working on arts and crafts projects as well as visiting with family and friends.  Jay plays basketball and soccer in his free time.  We both enjoy spoiling our dog Zoie and cat Bernie.

Kristi would make a great mother.  This isn’t speculation.  I witnessed it first-hand with the two foster boys who lived with us for almost 2 years.  Any person witnessing her interaction with these boys would have believed they were her children…because they were!  She loved (and continues to love) them as her own.   Kristi is a natural teacher, a profession she once considered.  She enjoys seeing the world through their eyes and being an active participant in helping kids grow and develop.

Jody & Sarah

In speaking with Jody today, he shared that Sarah was out helping others and that her week was busy – helping others.  That does not surprise me at all.  Besides loving her role as stay at home Wife and Mom to their six year old son Edward, she is always helping others.  Jody works as a Structural Engineer and has a very good balance of work with a priority on family life.

Jody and Sarah were high school  sweethearts and have been in love and married for many years.  Though they were blessed with Edward biologically, there were many health risk factors that made that pregnancy very difficult.  They have shared that adoption is not their second choice though, it has been something that has been placed in their heart.  They cannot wait to be parents again and Edward looks  so forward to being a big brother.

Recently they went out of the country, as a family, to attend a good friend’s wedding.  They enjoy traveling together, and also have many activities that they participate in together close to home.  Both Jody and Sarah support Edward in all of his extra-curricular activities and the encourage him to try new things. They want for him to have a happy and fun childhood.  They are very loving parents.

This special family attends a church that they are very involved in.  Their faith is center of their life.  With much extended family around them and close enough to visit, family get togethers are a regular occurrence.  This family enjoys the traditions of all of the holidays, celebrating each person in a special way for birthdays and the comfort and happiness that their home brings them and others who visit them.

A NOTE FROM JODY & SARAH ~

We are very grateful that you are looking into adoption.  We want to grow our family through this type of miracle.  Jody is a Structural Engineer and Sarah is a stay at home mom.  We have one little boy who cannot wait to become a big brother.  Adoption is not a second choice for us.   It has always been in our hearts and we are thankful for the women who give the greatest gift to families like us.   We are looking forward to meeting you!

Paul & Jenny

Hi! We are Paul and Jenny.  We are so excited to become parents through adoption. We are praying daily for you and for the baby you are carrying.  We cannot truly understand what you are going through, but we want you to know that God knows and we believe He will guide and direct your path.  Though we do not know who you are, we want to personally thank you for considering making our dreams of becoming parents a reality.

We have been married for 18 years.  We have tried to get pregnant without success and long to have children to share our love and life with.  God has placed an amazing, undeniable desire to adopt.  We opened our heart and home to a foster child earlier this year. After she left to go back home with her family, we knew we wanted to be parents more than we want to become pregnant.  Our family and friends are so excited about our adoption. This is truly a gift to come and a blessing we feel honored to receive.

Our careers both involve helping others. Paul works in the medical field performing hearing evaluations and selling hearing aids and Jenny is a Registered Nurse. Paul enjoys spending time outdoors, playing golf, fishing, hunting or kayaking.  Jenny loves going to the beach or lake, running, gardening, and spending time with family and friends.  We both are active in our local church.  We love to entertain and just hang out with our family and friends.  We love and appreciate the small things in life and sharing them together.

Thank you for taking the time to read a short story of who we are.  We would love to share more of our story with you through our adoption profile. May God bless you richly with His love, comfort, and peace.

Miles & Bernadette

We are honored and we thank you for taking this time to get to know us. We are Miles and Bernadette and we live in Southern California.  We have been married for over 15 years and we are excited about sharing our life with a child.  Miles works as a physician serving the uninsured and Bernadette works as a preschool teacher.  In our free time, we love to go to the beach, discover new bands and play sports.  As you make this difficult decision, we pray you find peace in the choices you must make.  We look forward to meeting you!

Laurent & Mary

Happy, educated, world traveled, goal oriented and athletic are just some of the words that come to mind when describing Laurent and Mary.  More importantly though – they are warmhearted, loving and wonderful parents to five year old Alexander.  They have been together for over 13 years and really enjoy spending time with one another. Laurent’s position with the company he works for provides plentiful financial security so that Mary is able to be a full time wife and mom.  This couple is down to earth and attractive and fun to talk with.

Alexander is the cutest little boy with a grin that will melt your heart.  He is friendly, well mannered and  likes to write words and show his artistic talents in the pictures he draws.  He attends the best of schools and is also a good little athlete.  Alexander is excited to have a baby sister.

This family lives an active lifestyle – riding bikes, running, swimming, sports, vacations…  yet they enjoy their time in their beautiful home as well. Laurent, Mary and Alexander have everything to offer, but the thing that stands out most about them is the LOVE that they give one another. You can be assured that a baby would be loved incredibly as well.

Please contact us to find out more about this amazing family.

Mike & Aprille

When first meeting Mike and Aprille, it is easy to be taken with their good looks.  They have a lot of style  and  wear it well.  As soon as you start speaking with them, you will be caught up with their friendliness and good humor.  They are both upbeat and positive people.  It is obvious that they have a very good marriage and are best friends.  It is fun to watch Mike listen as Aprille so energetically shares cute stories about the two of them.  They have experienced a true romance and because they also have a deep faith in the Lord, they have established a solid foundation for their family.

They have an incredibly good life that is full of fun, family,  friends and activities they both enjoy.  Mike and Aprille enjoy playing together on a co-ed softball team, going to church, dirt bike riding and traveling.  They are very involved with family get togethers and have been blessed with great friends that they see regularly.

Mike owns and runs their well established family business.  Aprille presently works in a job she loves – but only until they bring their baby home.  Their biggest dream is to be parents and they, very much, look forward to that day.  This couple is extremely thoughtful, non judgmental and completely generous when helping others.

As Mike is naturally handy and Aprille is extremely creative, they have created a home that is warm and inviting.  The baby’s room is completely decorated and we are excited to share more with you about this extremely special couple.  Please let us know if you have any questions or would like any more information about Mike and Aprille.
