Meet Waiting Families


Hello!

We are Denny and Laurie and are so happy to have this opportunity to tell you a little about us and our lives. Denny and I found each other around Labor Day in 2008, and knew fairly soon that we were meant for each other. We were married in early 2010. Having never been married or having children before, we were anxious to start a family of our own, but have been unsuccessful. We came to realize that God had another plan for us, which led us to you. Denny and I are very family-oriented, and have a lot of love and laughter to share with a child. We are both professionals who are in a stable place in our lives, and look forward to welcoming a child into our hearts and home. We hope you experience a sense of peace and comfort as you make this most important decision, knowing that the child you are carrying will be loved and cherished, and make a dream come true for us! We would be honored to share our profile book with you, and look forward to meeting with you as you make an adoption plan for your child.

Warmly,
Laurie & Denny

 

 


Hi, and welcome to Derbhile (DER-vi-la) and Rob, 

We are so thankful that you are considering adoption. The gift that you give will help complete a family. And that family will provide a wonderful home for your child. 

We are a fun couple with a great support group of family and friends and we are very excited about starting a family. We want nothing more in life than to be great parents. We feel like we have done everything possible to get ourselves and our home ready for a family. No child will be more loved or more cherished than ours. 

We hope to raise our child to be strong, confident and respectful of others. It's important to us that he or she knows how much they are loved, that they appreciate what we have, and that they strive to make a better life for themself ... whatever that may be. 

We are excited to think of the future with our child: From going to the Cincinnati zoo, to walks to the local park, to doing puzzles and playing games. We look forward to parenting, nourishing, loving and raising our child together. 

You wouldn't believe how excited our family and close friends were to hear the news that we decided to adopt; the hugs, the tears, the joy in hearing that we are taking this step toward starting our family. Many of them have been hoping and praying for us for years. All of that excitement and love is waiting for a child to come home with us. 

Please take a few minutes to get to know more about us by viewing our profile book on-line at https://DerbhileAndRob.shutterfly.com (you will probably need to copy the link and paste it in your web browser). You'll learn more about us as well as our family, friends, home and Jamey (our little Boston terrier). 

Again, thank you for being here and reading about us. If we are right for you, we are open to building a relationship that works best for you and our child: Visits, letters, pictures, whatever you believe is best. Just let us know. 

Thank you, 

Derbhile and Rob

 


Hello! We are Matt and Emily and we're thankful for this opportunity to tell you a little more about our family. We know that your decision to consider adoption was not an easy one, but we admire your strength, courage and love for this baby, demonstrated by the steps that you have already taken. We've been married 5 years and have always dreamed of the day when we would become parents. Our hearts have been waiting for a baby for several years now. Unable to conceive, God put adoption on our hearts as the way to grow our family. 

We met in medical school where we loved and enjoyed working with children so much that we both became pediatricians. We are blessed that Emily is able to work part-time in anticipation of being a mom. And while we both work outside the home, our commitment to a healthy work/life balance has always been a top priority. We both have large extended families and we are very close to them. They will be very involved and are already excited about being grandparents, aunts and uncles. 

We're both originally from Kentucky but feel that Cincinnati has become home. Matt loves the Reds and the local parks. Emily enjoys the Zoo and the many unique and diverse neighborhoods. When we are together we love traveling, cooking, spending time with friends and family, being outdoors, taking our yellow lab, Murray, to the park and simply having fun together and making each other laugh. Our relationship is one that is filled with love and laughter and built on faith and commitment. We can't wait to share that love with the child that is placed into our arms. We look forward to the opportunity to meet you! 

Emily + Matt

 


Hello! 

We are Seth and Dena and we are so honored to have the opportunity to expand our family through adoption. We first want to say that we admire your courage and strength and thank you for taking the time to get to know us. We would like you to know that we believe you are a caring, thoughtful and brave individual who is about to embark on a very mature and thoughtful decision in your life. We are honored to be considered as adoptive parents and thank you for taking time to get to know us. 

We met 19 years ago in college and it was love at first sight. We have been happily married for 14 years and were blessed to become parents in December 2012 with the adoption of our sweet little boy. The day we first held Nicholas in our arms was the most amazing day of our lives, and we knew instantly that we would love him with our whole hearts and teach him the values that we believe in so deeply. He is a sweet, caring and funny little guy who melts our hearts with each and every smile, kiss and hug. We would love nothing more than for him to become a big brother and share his love with a sibling. We both have siblings and know how important those relationships are. Our families are both very close and are so excited to welcome another baby to the family! 

We live in a beautiful neighborhood with a pool, playground, fishing ponds and lots of safe walking and biking paths. Some of our favorite activities as a family are going to the zoo, going for walks or playing in the water when the weather is nice. We also love to read and play with trucks, trains and blocks. Singing and dancing to some of Nicholas' favorite toddler tunes is also a daily activity! Our home is filled with happiness, love, respect, laughter, and most importantly, the commitment to keep these values alive and true throughout any challenge that may come our way. 

We both do work outside the home, and our work/life balance is of the highest priority to keep family time the primary focus of our lives. Seth is a technology consultant and Dena is a Human Resources director and we are very fortunate to work for amazing companies that allow us flexibility to ensure we are there for Nicholas and all of his important milestones. 

We honor you for the courageous decision you are making and want you to know that we are committed to offering a child a life of unconditional love, constant nurturing and a bright future. We can promise you that we will be the best parents that we can possibly be and will ensure that this child lives a life surrounded with love, comfort and encouragement. Ingredients that will allow our child to dream and have those dreams come true. 

We believe that your child should always know and feel your love. We respect the many emotions involved with your decision, and we pray for your strength and courage as you continue through this process.

We wish you all the best, Seth, Dena & Nicholas 

 

 


Hello! We are Michael, Kelly, and Madeline. 

Thank you for taking the time to learn more about us as you consider an adoption plan for your child. We admire your strength and courage as you consider the choices ahead of you. We hope that our portfolio will convey to you how much love, laughter, hope, and fun we can provide for your baby. We look forward to a new addition to our family to share all that we have to give. We welcome an open adoption and will uphold any promises that we make to you. 

After waiting many years to become parents, we welcomed Madeline into our family through open adoption in June of 2014. She has been a true joy in our lives, and her birthparents will always have a special place in our hearts. We have always envisioned having more than one child in our family, and with the amount of pure happiness and love we have experienced with Maddie, we anxiously await adding another child to our family. We hope that Maddie and a younger brother or sister will be able to experience the camaraderie and fun times that come with having siblings. We met playing flag football while attending the University of Michigan, and we have been married now for 8 years. Staying active, enjoying life, and maintaining a strong Christian faith have been the cornerstone of our strong, love-filled marriage. Michael works from home and Kelly began working part time once Maddie was born. Our flexible schedules allow us to spend quality family time together. 

We hope to continue to create a home that supports a fun, healthy, active lifestyle. We enjoy running and cycling in our free time, as well as camping and hiking outdoors, experiences that we want to share with the children in our family. If we are blessed to parent your child, we will do our best to ensure that they grow to discover their own path to happiness by helping them explore and pursue their interests, even if those interests are different from our own. 

Thank you for taking the time to read this brief introduction about our family. If you would like to know more about us, please view our profile book found here: https://kellyandmichaelportfolio.shutterfly.com/ . 

Sincerely, Michael, Kelly, and Madeline

 

 


Hi, we are Angie and Brandon. Thank you for taking the time to read more about us. We would like to commend you for your courageous decision to make an adoption plan for your child. It is difficult to put into words such strong emotions, but we want you to know how grateful we are to you. We feel very blessed to have this opportunity to provide love and attention to a child. We praise you for your bravery and unselfish love during the decision process and understand that your decision is not an easy one, or to be taken lightly. 

We promise to love your child as our own, and care for their every need. We will provide them with a peaceful, safe, and happy home environment to grow up in. We will remind them that they have been loved since before they even existed. We would love for you to know more about us by reading our picture book and even meeting us in person if you'd like. We are a fun-loving couple who enjoys time with family and friends in Cincinnati and vacations to Florida. We have so much love to give and hope to share that love.

 

 


Hello, 

We are Rob, Rebecca and Sean. Thank you for taking the time to read about our lives. We admire and are humbled by your courage and strength in taking this difficult step to pursue adoption for your baby. Wherever your journey leads you, we hope you find comfort in knowing that your sacrifice means more than words could ever convey. As you make your important decisions, we hope that this glimpse into our lives will help you to know us better. May you find the perfect loving family you seek. 

Rebecca and I met in 1993 and became high school sweethearts. Rebecca left her number in my locker and 20 years later we have never looked back. We both went on to study Biology in undergraduate school; both of us commuting from our hometown. We moved to Chicago, Illinois for graduate school in 1999. Rebecca studied law and became an attorney and I became an optometrist. We moved back to our hometown in 2003 and were married September 4, 2004. We built a home in our rural hometown in July 2005. Rebecca and I never dreamed we would not be able to have children. 

We waited several years before trying to start a family because we wanted to become established in our careers and financially stable. After three years of trying and failing and several doctor visits, we learned that giving birth to a child would be an impossibility for us. We desired more than anything to have children and in December 2012 an amazing family made our dreams come true. They blessed us with our beautiful baby boy Sean. Now we would love to expand our family and give Sean a baby brother or sister. 

If you would like to learn more about our family, please contact Adoption Professionals to view our profile book.

 

 


Dear Expectant Mother, 

Thank you for giving us the opportunity to introduce our family to you. We have a great amount of respect for you and your decision to consider an adoption plan for your unborn child. As parents, we understand that you have to make difficult decisions, in order to give your child what is best for him/her, and we are here to support you on your journey. 

We live in a very diverse community in Western Kentucky. Our community, even though large, has a small town feel. The community supports local business, especially agriculture business. We enjoy taking Ethan (our 5 year old) to pumpkin and apple festivals at Jackson's orchard, Chaney's Dairy Barn, Lost River cave for nature hikes, and to the local International Festival. We are also close to Nashville and Louisville. We frequent the Zoo and Science Center. 

Brent and I were married in April 2008 and had Ethan Paul in November 2009. We spend all our free time together as a family. Brent coaches soccer. Ethan loves taking swimming lessons and taking pictures on our outings together. We are always going on some family adventure somewhere with our extended family like Tybee Island or Disney World. 

We have both been around higher education most of our professional lives, and see a lot of value in education. We both work at a local university in administration and love it. Ethan is at a local preschool, and is about to start Kindergarten in the Summer 2015. 

We are pursuing adoption because of difficulties that Beth had during and after her pregnancy with our son Ethan. We would like to expand our family, and we feel that adoption is the right path to take because we are very loving people and can provide a stable and happy home. We want you to understand that adoption will always connect you with our family and in our hearts. 

Thank you, 

Brent, Beth, and Ethan

 


Hello! We are Jim, Sheri and John and we welcome the opportunity to tell you about ourselves and why we would like to adopt. First, we want to say that we are so grateful for your courage to consider adoption, and for considering us as potential parents to your child. We have been married for over 6 years, and have been blessed with our son, John, who was born a little over a year from when we married. We are not able to have another child naturally and we are praying that God will bless us with another child to complete our family. 

We have a strong marriage based on mutual respect and friendship and love being parents. One of our most important goals is to raise our children so that they will thrive and reach their potential. We also want our children to feel loved and accepted for who they are. 

Jim manages large commercial construction projects for a national construction management firm and Sheri is an attorney at a local company. Our jobs are flexible and do not interfere with our family time. Family always comes first to us. 

During the week, we have home cooked meals together and then spend the evenings together as a family doing activities with John. In the summer, we often go to our neighborhood pool to swim or to the park after dinner, and enjoy being outdoors. We live in a kid friendly neighborhood with lots of young children and friendly neighbors. There are always kids on our street playing sports, riding bikes and scooters and playing with each other. We have memberships to the zoo, Children's Museum and love going to the fall pumpkin festivals and attending all the fun activities in the area. We are an active family and enjoy planning and doing activities together. 

We are both close to the families we grew up in and get together with them frequently. They are a huge part of our lives. John and his cousins who are close in age love to play together and would be so excited to have another cousin to pal around with. Our families are very supportive of us adopting and Jim's brother and sister-in-law are especially supportive as they have two young adopted children in their family. 

We appreciate your consideration of us as adoptive parents to your child. We can assure you that we will provide your child with a loving and happy home where they will be loved for who they are, respected and cherished. We believe in education and will always encourage our children to do their best and to pursue their dreams whatever those dreams may be. We would like to stay in touch with you too, if you would like that and are open to visits, email communications and photo exchanges. 

 


Hello! 

We are Marcus and Amy, and we are glad to have this chance to tell you more about ourselves. We want to thank you for considering our family for your adoption plan. You are strong and courageous, and we promise to do our best to honor your choices. 

We have been married for six years and have one child. Our daughter Evelyn was born in March of 2011. We have always dreamed of building our family through adoption, and are thrilled to have this opportunity. 

Our hearts yearn to welcome a child of any race into our home, to love that child fully, to nurture that child, and to ensure that child understands and appreciates where they came from. We also want to ensure that child loves and appreciates the woman who loved them enough to bring them to our family. We promise to honor you and to give this child the best life that we can. 

We wish you God's blessings on your journey! 

- Marcus, Amy and Evelyn 

 


Dear Birth Parent, 

Thank you for considering our family and taking the time to get to know us. We are Matt and Rechelle, we have been married for 4 years and live in the Greater Cincinnati area. Two years ago we were blessed with our little girl, Morgan, through the miracle of adoption. We have had so much fun watching Morgan grow and are looking forward to doing it again! We want to adopt again because we know there is another child out there that would thrive as part of our warm, loving, and fun-loving family. We would also love for our daughter to have a little brother or sister. We know that another child would only make our family stronger, and fill it with more love. We are excited to give our unconditional love and support to another child through the miracle of adoption. If we are lucky enough to bring your child into our home, we will spend the rest of our lives loving your child, taking care of them and helping them grow into an amazing person. Your child will be part of a fun-loving family that values, faith, family, education, quality time together, personal identity and you. 

Again, we cannot imagine how difficult this decision is for you and the courage it takes for you to consider adoption. We hope that this snapshot into our life will help make your decision a little easier.

Hello! We are Scott and Kelli and we want to thank you for taking a moment to learn about us. Before we tell you a piece of our story, we would first like for you to know how much respect we have for you as you are making decisions about your child and his or her future. Your courage is amazing and although we cannot fathom the depth of your love for your baby and the difficulty that naturally comes with the thought of placing your baby for adoption, please know we are praying for you as you make the best decision for both you and your child. 

We would like to take a moment to tell you about ourselves. We have been together for over nine years and married for five years. We are actively involved in our church where Kelli is the youth leader and Scott helps coordinate the worship team. We have very much built our lives around our immediate families, of which we are so thankful to live only a few minutes away from each side of our family. Kelli has two younger sisters and a younger brother. Adoption is not a new word or concept to our family. We have both been blessed to have an adopted family member, as Kelli's younger brother was adopted into their family a few years ago. Scott has an older sister and two younger twin sisters, who both plan to adopt in the future as well. We are grateful to have such a wonderful support system and love for adoption in our family. 

We are both employed and are truly grateful to have been blessed with two great jobs. Scott is an engineer at a local machining company. His job is a real blessing as it requires little to no travel, allowing him the opportunity to spend a great deal of time with our family. Kelli is the owner of her own business helping senior citizens downsize and disperse their estates. One of the many ways we hope to center our lives around our children is for Kelli to have the flexibility of making her own schedule that will allow at least one of us to be with our children as much as possible. 

Written from Kelli's perspective - Scott is a wonderful friend and husband and I have no doubt that he will make a terrific father. He is incredibly hard-working, handy, and completely enjoys life. I can appreciate his strong work ethic as the primary provider for our family, balanced with a love and longing desire for spending time with our future children. I love to watch him play with and love on our nephew when he comes to visit, as it reaffirms to me how good of a father he will be. This is one of the many reasons I fell in love with him in the first place. 

Written from Scott's perspective - Kelli is truly an amazingly compassionate person, who has from birth always looked forward to the day she would become a mother. Kelli very much enjoys interacting and being around children. I have no doubt that Kelli will be very active with nurturing and taking care of our children. I am also confident that Kelli will be an example that our children will look up to and no doubt love and cherish as I do. 

You may be wondering why we have chosen adoption. We have known since the beginning of our relationship that we would not able to have children on our own. Therefore, adoption has always been a part of our story and a familiar concept to both of us. We are so excited to grow our family through adoption. 

We know that this must be an incredibly difficult decision as you decide whether to parent your child or choose who will parent your child. If you so choose, we would welcome an open relationship with you as our child's birth parents. We feel this is the healthiest option for all parties involved in your child's life, given that circumstances continue to remain healthy for all. We would be forever grateful in the event that you would choose for us to be the adopted family for your child. Being chosen as your baby's adopted family would truly be a blessing to our family and the greatest honor of all. 

Sincerely, Scott and Kelli

 


Dear Birthmother, 

Thank you for taking the time to consider adoption as an option for your child. Making this decision will probably be the most difficult and most important decision of your life. We are grateful to have this opportunity to share with you some things about ourselves. 

To introduce ourselves, we are Kevin and Marie. We met in the fall of 2003 at a church event in a town just east of Ann Arbor, Michigan. I, Marie, was new to the group and the first time I saw Kevin I thought he was the man I had prayed for just days before. Kevin, on the other hand, was more interested in the dog that was there than talking to me. While we talked at other church functions over the next months, we didn't really hit it off until the group's Super Bowl party. We started dating three weeks later and were married a year later. 

Since before we were married, we have been talking about having children. We knew that we wanted to wait until after Kevin had finished graduate school. After we were married, we discovered that we each had medical conditions that limited our chances of conceiving a child. That is when we decided that adoption would be the best way to grow our family. When we started the adoption process, we were undecided about how open we wanted an adoption to be. After going through our home study and training, we now look forward to a healthy open adoption. We want to work with a birthmother to develop a strong relationship. 

We live in a great neighborhood on a quiet cul-de-sac street. Our subdivision is in one of the best school districts in the area. We moved to the greater Cincinnati area a few years ago. Kevin grew up in this area. We had been here for a visit and knew that we would be settling here. What we didn't know was how soon that would be. Less than a year later, multiple opportunities allowed us to move here a year sooner than expected. 

Throughout our relationship, we have had to face difficult situations that through Gods grace have brought us closer together. Whether it was family health issues or major job changes, we have relied God and each other. We have a playful attitude that use to support each other. We have made it a point to work at putting each other's needs before our own. Our relationship is strengthened by the way we communicate with each other. We are there for each other and are sure enough in our relationship to be able to play the bad cop when necessary. 

We have a great deal of love for each other and want to share that love with a child. We dream of a day that we can take a family bike ride or hike through Sharon Woods. We have a loving support network that is looking forward to supporting us with a new bundle of joy. We hope that you would consider placing your child with us. 

In sincere admiration,
Kevin and Marie

 

 


Dear birth parent(s), Thank you for choosing life for your child. Both of us cannot imagine how much thought and prayer was put into your decision. Your decision allows couples such as ours the opportunity to have a family. We have spent years working with doctors and medical specialists along with numerous procedures to conceive without any outcome. Our disappointment in not being able to have children was devastating. We had hopes and prayers of having a healthy and vibrant family. Your decision has given us hope that we may be able to start a family providing a loving and supportive environment. The excitement we are experiencing is overwhelming! We would be honored to love and care for you birth child. Children have been and will continue to play a role in our lives. We have two nieces and four nephews who we adore. We participate in their birthdays, holidays, family and school events. Tim was a Big Brother for a nine year old boy for almost two years when we lived back in Toledo. Also, Angel is a young boy in the Dominican Republic we have sponsored since 2007. We enjoy corresponding with him. Even though we have tried to conceive without success, we believe that God has a plan for us. We met in high school and in a sense we have grown up together. We have seen a lot and traveled extensively. Where one may be lacking, the other one picks up the slack. We have different talents. I am an artist and graphic designer and Tim is a scientist. However, we look at it as a way to share different views and expand our thinking. We both like to live healthy lives while giving back to the community. We have been involved with St. Vincent de Paul Society, St. Louis Soup Kitchen, Habitat for Humanity and helping our church wrap gifts for those in need at Christmas. Our extended families are loving and supportive. In addition to having us, Tim's parents are foster parents and have been so for decades and I am the daughter of a mother who has dedicated her life to teaching. We would be honored to be parents. This year we celebrate 21 years of marriage. What better gift than to expand from a couple into a family? We are excited for this new chapter in our lives! With love, Tim and Amy
 


Hi, we are Chris and Anita. We are a happy family that has been touched by the joy of adoption. We adopted our son, Dylan, in 2009 and he has been the center of our lives since then. We love to watch him grow and learn new things. Dylan loves to be outside and helps us around the house. He has a great sense of humor and keeps the whole family laughing! His laugh is one of the best sounds we've heard! 

We cannot comprehend the hard decision you are facing and appreciate the time you're taking to read about us. We met in college and have been married for nine years. Anita's Indian heritage brings cultural diversity to our marriage and new experiences as we travel on occasion to visit family in India. We are also lucky to have a strong family structure around us, with Chris's extended family living minutes away. Together, we enjoy cooking, church activities, hanging out with family and friends, and going to the park. We are looking forward to sharing our love with a new baby. We are available to meet, if you would like to learn more about us.

 



Dear Birth Parent, 

We are Matt, Heather, Will, Caroline and Parker and we call ourselves The Crew. We are honored you want to learn more about our family as you process your adoption decision. Let's just go ahead and say it like it is. We have no clue, literally no clue the depth of emotions you are wading through at this time. What you are facing has to be the hardest thing we have ever even attempted to wrap our brains around. Only you know your hopes, dreams and vision you have for your baby. We pray that you know beyond a shadow of a doubt the right family when you see them. Should that be us, know that we are an open book...nothing is off limits with us. We will love you and accept you as an extension of us...your story of your great love for your child will be told time and time again. 

Adoption has literally taken over our hearts. All our children were adopted at birth in Cincinnati and we fell madly in love with them the second we knew about them. Never thought we'd say it, but after eight years of building our family through adoption, we think infertility was the best thing that ever happened to us. We aren't perfect, so if you are looking for that, go ahead and stop reading right now! But if you are looking for an authentic family who loves life you may have just found it. We have been dreaming of what you will be like and when you will find us. We guarantee we will overdo hugging you and start crying the minute we meet you. You can bet on that! 

As you can see, there are a lot of us :) We thrive off the energy and activity in our day to day lives. Your child would be the baby of our family, and have three older siblings who adore, play play with and protect them. We are a tight knit family...Matt is a hard working patient daddy, who loves to play basketball in the driveway and roast marshmallows for the kids in our fire pit out back. Heather is an over the top energetic stay at home mama who can typically be found in her workout clothes driving her black minivan all over town taking the kids to dance class, swim lessons, Tumblebees, or a special outing somewhere. 

Family is our entire world and we are beside ourselves at the thought of completing it. Will is 6, Caroline is 4 and Parker is 18 months old. Separately the kids are sweet, well behaved and one would say they are almost even calm. Together, they are a force to be reckoned with...they are incredibly loud, over the top rambunctious and tend to sprint around the house like crazy people. I guess siblings do that to each other, right?! We sort of stand back in awe at them..each one a separate miracle, and together they are the heartbeat of who we are. 

May God bless you with wisdom and clarity as you navigate through all the profiles you are probably staring at right now! Can't wait to meet you soon. Until then, much love and peace to you... 

The Crew

 

 


Hello! We are Megan and Kyle. We want to thank you for taking the time to look at our family.Your decision to search for adoptive parents to love and raise your child is both a courageous and selfless act. We would like to tell you a little about our lives and to give you a glimpse into the happy life and all the love your child will be provided. In 2013 we were blessed by a birth-mom with our precious daughter. We are so excited to see our family continue to grow. We cannot wait to share that same love of adoption with our future child. 

We have been married for nine years. We met when we were both working at a hospital in Dallas, Texas. Kyle was a Respiratory Therapist trying to decide if he wanted to further his education and attend Medical School. Megan had just graduated from Nursing School and accepted a job in the Neonatal Intensive Care. Kyle did decide to attend Medical School now he is a Family Practice Doctor. He chose this type of medicine due to his desire to work and take care of family. Megan worked as an Emergency Room nurse and since the adoption of our daughter, she is a stay at home mom. 

Family is what is most important to us. We fell in love with Addie the moment we saw her. We are grateful to Addie's birth mother for entrusting her to us. 

We both enjoy spending time with family and friends. We are an active couple and love to be outside. We have a wide range of interests, such as golfing, hiking, and cooking. Family time is the best part of our day. We enjoy going to the zoo and local parks. There is a lot of laughing and running and jumping and singing. One of our hopes is that we will be able to provide a sibling to Addie and we can all share family time. We love to travel and have a great passion for exploring and experiencing different cultures from around the world. There is still much of the world we would like to see and look forward to sharing this experiences as a family. 

We admire you for making a difficult decision, one that requires a great act of love and maturity. We hope this was helpful and would love to meet you and answer any questions you have. Thank you. 

Megan and Kyle 

 

 


Hello! We are honored to be able to share ourselves with you. We are Dan, Amanda, Joshua and Sloane. First, we'd like to say how grateful we are to have the opportunity to present our family to you. Your courage and strength can only be matched by your selflessness at this important time. We are more than thankful to have you share this journey with us. Let us take you on a walk around our families and our life so you can get to know us as we hope to get to know you. Dan and I are a hardworking, compassionate couple with a sense of community, a deep and abiding Catholic faith and a profound and respectful love of our families. Our strong ethics, morals and sense of responsibility keep us well-grounded. However, we do have a tremendous sense of humor and a general light-heartedness that allows us to roll with whatever situation presents itself. We are both from Toledo and have lived in Cincinnati for almost 4 years. We consider this home and look forward to raising our family in this wonderfully close community. Every love story is unique. Ours has had many twists and turns. None of which we would ask to change as it has bought us here, to you. Adoption is a calling for us. What started as a way to have a family has become a way to not only grow ours but to also advocate for adoption and honor those who choose a birth plan for their child. We truly believe God's plan was for us to be here, with you, at this moment. We hope you enjoy our love story and find peace and joy as you look through our book. Thank you again, from the bottom of our hearts (all 4 of them!) for taking the time to get to know us.

 


Hello! 

We're Johanna and Richard. Thank you so much for giving us the opportunity to introduce ourselves to you. We really appreciate the time you are taking to read our profile and we respect and admire you for considering us as potential parents to your baby. We think that you are extremely courageous and selfless and we have such admiration for you on making this decision. You are also helping a family to realize their dream. 

A little about us, we have been together for 14 years and married in June 2012 in the US. We both were born and raised in the north of England where Johanna graduated in Business and Richard in Engineering. We have lived in Cincinnati for 9 years now and we proudly became US citizens in June 2013. Since living here we have made many good friends. We love the US and we have no plans to move back to England, as this is now our permanent home. 

We both work full time for a large consumer goods company and have successful jobs and are financially stable. We are best friends and always have fun together! We have so much love for each other and long to be able to give that love to a child. 

We have built a fantastic home and life together. Five years ago when we felt the time was right to start a family we were faced with infertility problems. We tried InVitro a number of times without success. We believe that everything happens for a reason and that adoption is meant for us and we are fully focused on adopting a beautiful child. 

We love to entertain and celebrate holidays, birthdays and milestones together with friends and family. We enjoy traveling and have visited many places in the US and feel that it's important to know the country you live in and experience and see the different things it has to offer. We particularly love Chicago and visit there at least once a year. We also take a trip to England each year to see friends and family and they also often visit us here in the US. 

We love to cook, see music concerts together and with our friends. Music is an important part of our lives and is always played in the house. Richard has a huge varied music collection and Johanna plays the piano. We live in a wonderful neighborhood, with many young children and friendly neighbors that we know very well. We have beautiful walking and bike trails very close to our home that we regularly take advantage of. 

We want you to know that we will provide a loving and happy environment for your child and we will raise them to be the best they can be, to be positive and happy and be proud of who they are and their accomplishments. We will instill good values, encourage and help them to make many diverse friends, and to value and cherish their friendships. We will support them in whatever they want to do. 

We hope this has been helpful. We would love the opportunity to meet you and answer any questions you may have. 

Thanks, Johanna and Richard.

 

 


Hello! We are Jason and Cara, and we would like to begin by telling you how much we admire and respect you for making such a brave and selfless decision for your child. The genuine love you have for your child is evident in the care that you are taking in selecting a family that you feel will give your child the life that you desire for them. We have been married for over ten years. Before we married, we had many long talks about our future together. Plans to have children were at the top of our list. Coming from homes with much love and support gave us both the foundation we needed to inspire us to build our own loving home for a family. We are both teachers, and feel very blessed to have careers that allow us to provide for a family while still having time to devote to raising children. We had wanted to start our family soon after getting married, but God had a plan that included more time and challenges due to infertility. Our desire to have a family did not waiver because of this challenge. God used this challenge to guide us on a different path to build our family through adoption. For us it didn't matter if a child was born to us or adopted by us. We both wanted a home filled with the laughter, love and running feet of children! This strong desire turned into a reality for us when we were selected by a very special mother to parent her child, our son Parker. He is such a blessing to us and our family. We know first-hand how beautiful adoption can be to a family. Parker is now a healthy, happy seven year old little boy! .

Adoption has given us the opportunity to fulfill our dreams of being parents and that dream is still very alive. We have so much more to give and want to share the same happy, fun and loving home that we have provided for our son by welcoming a new member to our family. .

Love, Jason and Cara
