Adam & Jaime - Wisconsin

Hello & Thank You,  


We are Adam and Jaime, and we wanted to take a moment to express our deepest gratitude for considering us as adoptive parents for your child. We can only imagine how incredibly difficult this decision is, and we admire your courage and strength during this challenging time. Thank you for taking the time to learn more about us. 


We have been married for 11 years and together for 13 years. Adam and I knew early on in our relationship that we always wanted to be parents and start a family. Our journey to parenthood has been a challenge for us. Over the last ten years, we have had four failed IUI treatments, five failed IVF treatments, and two miscarriages. Through all our failed attempts to start a family, we continued to support each other and remain resilient in our desire to become parents. We believe that adoption is the path meant for us, and we are grateful for the opportunity to potentially welcome a child into our loving home. 


We are excited to begin the journey of parenthood with open hearts and open arms. Our home is filled with love, laughter, and a strong sense of family. We have many aunts, uncles, cousins, and grandparents who are eager to welcome a baby into our family. We promise to provide your child with every opportunity to thrive and grow, surrounded by unconditional love and support. We have been eagerly anticipating the opportunity to expand our family through adoption, and we are committed to providing a loving and supportive home for your child. 


Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for considering us. Your strength and selflessness are truly inspiring.


Thank you,


Adam & Jaime

Meet Adam

Meet Adam

Adam is one of the kindest, patient, goofy, hardworking, supportive, and fun people I know. He constantly makes me laugh with his great dance moves, singing, and witty comments. He’s always up for my adventures and ideas. With me being an extrovert, he really grounds me and understands exactly what I need to feel loved and supported. He was my rock during all our fertility treatments making sure I was ok. He is my number one cheerleader and biggest supporter.



Adam is an amazing cook and loves to bake. I am so lucky because he does most of the cooking in our house. He is always looking for new recipes to try and outdo himself, especially when it comes to dinner nights with my family.

 Adam, being an only child, found it quite an adjustment to join my large family, but he embraced it. He is also adored by all the children. They love to call him "Uncle Adam" or "Uncle Big Kitty" because he is like a big, soft teddy bear to them. He is constantly making them laugh and doing all the things they love. Our teenage niece and nephews always get a kick out of seeing him try to keep up with their trends. He and our brothers-in-laws enjoy competing to see who the favorite uncle is, and Adam wins, hands down! Seeing how great he is with children warms my heart, and I know he is going to be the best, most loving dad to our kids.

Meet Jaime

Jaime is one of the most thoughtful and caring people I know. She is always looking for ways to surprise people and goes out of her way to show her friends and family how much she loves them. I often joke (although mostly true) that the day is not finished until she has talked to all of her family.


Jaime has many close friends and loves staying connected to them. She often organizes girls' nights and trips for big birthdays. In addition to her friends, she has also formed strong bonds with their children. "Aunt" Jaime is a favorite among the kids, as they adore her and know she always makes time for them.


Jaime is actively involved in our community. Over the past three years, she has coached 3rd grade girls' basketball for a local club. Both the girls and their parents adore her.  She truly enjoys coaching and witnessing the progress the girls make throughout the year.


Jaime is an extrovert who loves having people around. When she lived in the Philippines, she struck up a conversation with a lady sitting at the next table, and 12 years later, they are still in touch. She takes me out of my comfort zone and has brought so much joy and love to my life. She is kind, patient, passionate, and nurturing, and I can see that in every interaction she has with our nieces, nephews, and godchildren. I know she is filled with love and will be a fantastic mother to our future child.

    • Our Story

    Adam and I were set up by mutual friends, even though we worked at the same company in different departments and hadn't met before. When Adam hosted a housewarming party, our friends were sure we needed to meet. We began talking gradually after the party, though Adam was initially quite shy. As an extrovert, I even told my friend, 'Adam never talks; I’m not sure if this will work!' Now, he never stops talking!


    We dated for about nine months before I moved to the Philippines for a year-long work assignment. During that time, our relationship really grew—we talked and FaceTimed every day, despite the 12-hour time difference. Adam visited me during that year, and we were able to take a beach vacation in the South China Sea. I also knew he was a keeper when he spent time with my family, attending holidays, birthdays, and family events while I was away. After I returned home, Adam proposed, and I happily said yes


    One year after getting engaged, we tied the knot with our family and friends by our side! Both of us have large extended families and many close friends, and we wanted everyone to be there with us. Our ten nieces and nephews were the flower children. It was a perfect day filled with dancing and surrounded by love. To end the night, we lit lanterns for good luck, health, prosperity, and fortune.!

    • We live in a spacious 4-bedroom, 3.5-bathroom home in a newer subdivision. We have a great outdoor space where we enjoy entertaining friends and family. We eagerly anticipate turning one of our spare bedrooms into a nursery. Our neighborhood has many kids and families who are often outside playing and walking around. Many of our neighbors are friends with kids, and we're fortunate to have numerous walking trails and a park nearby.

    Our Community

    Our Community

    We live in a suburban area on the outskirts of a city in northeast Wisconsin. Many parks, playgrounds, pools, nature centers, beaches, and lakes are close to us. There are lots of things to do in the city, such as a big farmers market, music festivals, minor league baseball games, museums, and state parks.


    We love spending our summers at the lakes and beaches with our family. In the fall and winter, you will find us taking drives to check out all the trees changing colors and picking out pumpkins and apples, ice skating, and skiing. We can’t wait to share these activities with our child.

    Adam's Family

    My family consists of my parents and me. I have always been close to my parents, and they have been my biggest supporters my whole life. We love spending time at our family's land, enjoying nature, grilling, and working in the woods. My dad and I love to spend time outdoors hunting and fishing, while my mother enjoys cheering on all our local sports teams and keeping up with my large extended family.


    My parents are so excited to welcome their first grandchild to our family. I can already picture my dad teaching our future child how to fish and walking through the woods picking the raspberries that grow wild there. Then there’s my mom, sitting front row at all the sporting events, watching them have fun.

     I do have a large extended family. We have a yearly summer party at my aunt’s house where we talk, eat, and catch the biggest bluegills in their pond. Each year, we all get together in my hometown for our local city festival, where there are carnival games, rides, live music, and some of the best fireworks you could ask for. We also have many Christmas celebrations where we reminisce about growing up together and play games with the kids who are running all around. I can’t wait to share all of these experiences with our child.

    • My family is very close and important to me, and we spend a lot of time together. I am the fourth of five children in my family. I have three older sisters, one younger brother, seven nephews, three nieces, three brothers-in-law, and one sister-in-law. As Adam says, I talk to one or all of my siblings every day on the phone. My parents are hardworking and supportive. My family always finds reasons to be together and celebrate - birthdays, holidays, family dinners, or just hanging out. In the summer, we try to take a big family vacation together, spending time on the lake playing games, boating, tubing, skiing, and bonding. My oldest sister and her family live about 10 minutes from us, and we have family dinner with them every Sunday. We love attending our niece and nephews’ games and track meets. We are their biggest fans.


    My family is thrilled to welcome another child into our family. They can’t wait to spoil and love them. We will have many excited babysitters! I am so thankful for the love and support my family has shown us on our journey to become parents.

    We have seven nephews and three nieces who range in age from 21 to 13, with another niece or nephew on the way in February. Adam and I are known as the fun aunt and uncle who are always up-to-date on the latest trends and lingo! You can usually find us cheering on our nieces and nephews at their sporting events and other activities. Adam is the godfather of two of his friends' children, and I am the godmother to one of my nephews and my cousin's son. We're always available to help out when needed, whether it's for an open house at school, T-ball practice, or a ride to anywhere they need to go. Our nieces and nephews know that they can count on us for anything!

    • As a couple we do enjoy getting out and seeing the world. We love to explore new areas and experience the sites and food there is to offer. One of our most memorable was a trip to Austin, TX on a surprise vacation (We didn’t know where we were going till we opened the envelope at the airport). Jaime has a goal to see all the Major League Baseball stadiums, and we have planned many trips following the Brewers from New York to San Diego. For the last two years, we have traveled to the Grand Canyon and Florida on spring break with Jaime’s sister and her family.

    We are incredibly fortunate to have a wonderful group of friends who are very important to us. Our friend group consists of high school friends, work friends, and neighbors, many of who have children of their own whom we are also very close to. We go on vacations together, have summer family parties, visit baseball stadiums, and have dinner together. Our friends are incredibly supportive and they can't wait to spoil our baby.

    • Our families love traditions! We love celebrating birthdays with homemade chocolate cake and enjoying girl's weekend birthday getaways. Christmas is a special time for our extended family - we all gather at my grandma’s house, walk across the street for church, and then head back to her house to play games and enjoy delicious food! Every Thanksgiving, we host both families at our house, filling it with Packer fans watching football and playing games. My cousins love to travel for family reunions or weddings (they have dance moves for days). On the 4th of July, we gather at our aunt’s house by the lake. In Adam’s family, they have a big summer party with a corn roast. Additionally, we visit Adam’s hometown for a summer festival each year. Simply put, we love our traditions!

    Kerstin - Wisconsin

    By Brittany Carvalho • December 20, 2024
    Hello & Thank You , My name is Kerstin, and I'm so grateful to you for considering me and my son Malakai as a possible match for you and your child. A single person might not have been your first thought for your child, but I have just as much support and love to give as a couple would have - or even more! My life is rich with family, friends, and opportunities. I have a successful career that provides my family with the resources to explore the world and experience new things. I would love the opportunity to share these wonderful experiences with your child. Malakai (Kai for short) was adopted at birth and is three years old. We have an open relationship with his birth mom and often send her pictures and videos. I am open and committed to whatever type of communication you would like. I want you to know that your child will always know their adoption story and the love you have for them. I am happy to answer any questions you have so that you can make the best decision for you and your baby. As you'll see in this profile, I have a deep love and appreciation for all different cultures, and I love to learn about people and places all over the world. Travel has been a big part of my life, and I also appreciate and value diversity close to home. We live on a street with families of many different backgrounds, and the schools and businesses in our neighborhood also reflect that diversity. I love languages and have studied Spanish and Haitian Creole. The public elementary school closest to our home is a dual immersion bilingual school (Spanish and English). I would love for Malakai and any future child I might have to attend this school because I highly value bilingual language skills and the opportunity to build relationships with classmates and teachers of many different backgrounds. I am committed to honoring and valuing your child's cultural background and ensuring that it is an important part of their daily lives. I pray often for you and your journey. I thank God for you and your decision to consider adoption. I pray for God to give you peace and comfort. Thank you for taking the time to learn more about me and Malakai and see if we might be a good match for you and your child. With Love, Kerstin

    Spencer & Amanda - Wisconsin

    By Brittany Carvalho • December 13, 2024
    Hello & Thank You , Just saying thank you isn't enough for us to express our gratitude for considering us to be adoptive parents. We cannot begin to understand how difficult this decision is and that it is not taken lightly. No matter your decision, you are in our thoughts and prayers. We are Amanda and Spencer. We have been together over ten years and have been married for three. From the very beginning of our relationship, we talked about starting a family, but God had different plans for us. Unfortunately, Amanda has faced health challenges that have led to infertility, which won't allow us to have our own biological children. Adoption has touched both our lives in meaningful ways. Spencer's mother was adopted, and she is ecstatic that we are pursuing this path. In addition, Spencer has two adopted cousins, and I have one as well. Both of our families are loving and supportive of our decision, and we are all ready to share unconditional love with a child. Since we both have relatives who were adopted, we believe it is important for your child to understand their adoption story from the very beginning. We look forward to sharing with your child just how special they and their birth family are to us. The relationship between a child and their birth family is significant, and we strongly support an open adoption. There is no such thing as too many people to love and support a child. Raised in the Catholic faith, we plan to instill the same values in our future child. We cherish faith, family, community, friendships, and love, and we will teach the importance of hard work and the achievements it can bring. With both our families and friends nearby, your child will be surrounded by a loving network of support. Thank you for the time to read our story and consider us as potential adoptive parents. We wish you peace on this journey and the very best for you and your child. Sincerely, Spencer & Amanda

    Luke & Cassi - Wisconsin

    By Brittany Carvalho • December 5, 2024
    Hello & Thank You , Thank you for giving us the opportunity to share a glimpse into our lives. First and foremost, we want to express our deepest gratitude, as being considered in your adoption journey means more to us than you may know. The love you have for your child is undeniable. Though we cannot know the challenges you are facing in making this decision, your love, strength, and courage stand out the most. We truly admire you. We are Luke and Cassi and our four-legged fur baby, Sully. We’ve been together for 16 years and married for 3. After years of infertility, adoption feels like the right path for us. From a young age, we always knew adoption would be part of our journey, and now, after much anticipation, we’re filled with excitement and hope. We truly believe the younger versions of us would be proud of the direction life has taken, and we are eager to open our hearts and home to a child. Adoption is a lifelong bond, and we promise to cherish it. We are committed to creating a safe, loving, and nurturing home where your child can grow, explore, and thrive. We will inspire curiosity, embrace individuality, and encourage them to follow their dreams. We will also surround your child with the people who will love them through life’s challenges and triumphs. Our home will be filled with love, laughter, and family traditions, including cozy nights by the fire, bedtime stories, adventures in our camper, and Sundays by the pool. They would always be encouraged to be their true selves, follow their passions, respect themselves and others, and always know they are valued. We will teach them kindness, empathy, and the importance of family. Most importantly, we will always talk openly and lovingly about the love and sacrifice that led you to choose adoption. We want your child to know how deeply they are loved, both by us and by you. Thank you again for taking the time to get to know us. If we have the opportunity to meet in the future, we would be excited to learn more about you. We know this is not an easy decision, and we are grateful for your consideration. We are keeping you in our thoughts and sending you strength and peace during this time. Sincerely, Luke & Cassi

    Zack & Lindsay – Wisconsin

    By Brittany Carvalho • December 1, 2024
    Hello & Thank You , Our names are Zack and Lindsay, and we are so grateful that you're considering us to be a potential part of your adoption plan. We can't imagine how hard this is for you or what you're going through. We do understand there’s no way for us to truly grasp the weight of your decision, but we respect and admire your strength and courage. Through this letter and this book, we want to share a little about ourselves with you. We met in 2008, and it was love at first sight. After 6 months of dating, we got engaged and married in 2010. We knew early on in our marriage that we wanted to explore adoption to build a family, and we had lots of love to give. Over time, we grew together, strengthened our love, and prepared our lives and our home to provide a caring, nurturing environment for a new addition to our family. Our adoption journey was difficult due to our issues with infertility, but our motivation to adopt comes from a place of love and a desire to share that love by growing our family. In 2022, we were blessed with adopting a beautiful baby boy, Atlas, who is the light of our lives. It has been our privilege to watch him grow, learn, change, and develop. He’s shown us how wonderful and rewarding adoption can be, motivating us to continue our adoption journey. Atlas’s birth mom has become an integral part of our lives. We regularly share pictures and updates of all Atlas’s changes and activities, and we make sure that he’s aware that we’re sending updates to his birth mom so that as he grows, we can continue to share his adoption story with him. We feel it’s so important that Atlas’s birth mom gets to watch him develop, and we want you to know that we are open to whatever contact you would like. As a family, we want to honor and respect Atlas’s heritage, and one way we’re doing that is by learning Spanish together. Atlas attends a Spanish-speaking school, and we are learning Spanish along with him. We are both driven and have many hobbies, including physical and outdoor activities, reading, cooking, and continuing education. For us, raising children means bringing the most important people in the world along with us on new adventures and learning new skills. We hope this book gives you a look into our lives, who we are as people, who we are as a couple, and who we are as a family. We are thinking of you and wish you well in all you do. Thank you for taking the time to get to know us. Sincerely, Zack & Lindsay

    Mark & Kristin - Texas

    By Brittany Carvalho • November 28, 2024
    Hello & Thank You , Thank you for taking the time to view our photobook and consider us as adoptive parents for your baby. We are so excited to be adopting a baby and finally becoming parents. We know you will follow your heart and make the best choice in selecting the family for your baby to join. We are Kristin and Mark, and we have been together since November 2020, married in April 2022. When we first started dating, I shared with Mark that because of my reproductive issues, having a biological child might not be possible. He was very understanding and supportive and open to adoption as a way to start our family. Mark and I are surrounded by a huge support system on both of our sides, who cannot wait to have another child join the family. We have lots of nieces and nephews who are anxiously awaiting the arrival of a new cousin to play with. Our parents are looking forward to having another grandchild to spoil. Your child will be raised in a loving Christian home, guided by values of kindness, compassion, integrity, and the importance of family. They will be loved unconditionally and always have unwavering family support in all they choose to endeavor. We look forward to sharing our love of sports and music while encouraging them to explore their own passions. As we continue deepening our faith, we are committed to becoming more involved in church and look forward to attending regularly as a family. While growing up, we both dreamt of one day having our own family and a child to call us Mom and Dad. We can’t begin to understand how difficult this decision is for you. We are praying for strength and clarity during this time and know you will make the best decision. Thank you again for considering us to be the adoptive parents for your baby. It means the world to us. Sincerely, Mark & Kristin

    Zack & Kali - Minnesota

    By Brittany Carvalho • November 27, 2024
    Hello & Thank You , It’s so nice to “meet” you, we are Zack & Kal. We hope you feel welcomed and embraced by our family as you flip through these pages. Thank you for taking the time to get to know a bit about us. We admire your strength and courage, and we're grateful that you're considering turning such a difficult situation into a meaningful blessing. We can only imagine how overwhelming this decision may feel, and our hope is that, in the midst of it all, you feel empowered, supported, and surrounded by care. When we first got married, we began trying for a biological child, but after a long and emotional journey, we received the heartbreaking news that growing our family in that way would be extremely difficult. Despite these challenges, we've come through stronger and full of hope. We're now incredibly excited to grow our family through adoption. Welcoming a child through adoption has always been part of our dream of having a big family. We’ve learned so much from close friends and relatives with beautiful adoption stories, and their experiences have only strengthened our desire to take this path. We promise to give your child a loving and stable home filled with warmth, laughter, and endless opportunities. Your child's adoption story will be shared with them from the beginning and will always be embraced and cherished. Please know that we're keeping you in our thoughts and sending you peace as you consider your options. We would be honored to walk this journey with you and your baby. With So Much Love, Zack & Kali

    Hello & Thank You , We know your brain must be on absolute overload right now, but we’d like to take up just a little of your time. We’ll get to the introductions soon, but first, there’s something important we want you to know. We realize this process might not be what you envisioned, but if you choose us to be your child’s adoptive parents, we promise (and we don’t take this word lightly) that they will always know their story and where they come from. More than anything, we hope this can be the start of a lifelong connection, one where you remain a part of their life and ours, for the journey ahead. Now for the introductions. We are Courtney and Miguel, and we live in Wisconsin with our two dogs, Sumo and Delta. We met in college, became friends, and the rest is history. We’ve been together for 14 years and married for 10 years. Adoption has always been a topic of conversation throughout our marriage and has always been our “Plan A” rather than “Plan B.” Miguel was born and raised in Costa Rica, so we know the importance of learning and celebrating your heritage. Because Spanish is such an important part of his culture and family life, we plan to raise our child bilingual. We’re excited to share the language, traditions, and stories I grew up with, and to help them build strong connections with their heritage. One of the phrases that we find to be an important theme in our lives and relationships is “say what you are feeling out loud.” For both of us, communication is key in everything we do. We hope to partner with you in this journey, and we are willing to meet you wherever you feel most comfortable in terms of openness. All our best, Miguel & Courtney

    Hello & Thank You , Thank you for taking the time to learn about us. We can only imagine the love, strength, and courage it takes to create an adoption plan, and we want you to know how much we admire and respect you for it. How do you find the words to write to someone you have not yet met, but already feel such deep love and gratitude for? The opportunity you are providing to help create a family that otherwise would not be is something we will never take for granted. We are truly honored to be considered as potential parents for your child, and we hold this moment with the utmost respect. We are Matthew and Lauren. We met in 2018, and on our very first date, we were already dreaming about having a family. We married in 2021 and quickly began planning to grow our little family. We have two dogs, Olly and Marvel, who we know would love a sibling to play with and protect. After learning that Lauren could not get pregnant, we realized that this was God’s way of guiding us toward something just as beautiful — adoption. Adoption holds deep meaning for us. Matt and his brother were both adopted as young children, and he has always known it would be part of his story, too. We are both incredibly grateful to have loving and supportive families behind us as we grow our family through adoption. From the very beginning, our parents, siblings, and extended families have cheered us on with open hearts. They are all so excited to welcome a new child into our lives and cannot wait to share in the joy. This book is a glimpse into our lives - who we are, the life we’ve built together, and the life we hope to share with a child. We hope you feel the love, laughter, and stability that surround us and our home. If we are chosen, we will raise your child with endless love, support, and a deep respect for where they came from- you! We will speak your name with honor and ensure that your child grows up knowing their story began with love. Sincerely, Matthew & Lauren

    Hello & Thank You , We Are Matt, Brittni, Braelyn, and Noah! So, who are we really? We are an "always on the go, planning countless trips to the waterpark" type of family. We're full of joy and laughter, and we treat every day as a blessing. Whether it's making a late-night ice cream run in our jammies or cozying up for bedtime snuggles, we savor the simple moments together. We're excited to add another member to our crew and share more Disney adventures, backyard campfires, morning coffee and muffins, and all the love we have to offer. Our journey hasn't always been easy, but it has deepened our relationship and strengthened our faith. From a young age, adoption was something we talked about, prayed for, and felt called to pursue. We've been blessed to have loved ones in our family who are adopted, and we know firsthand how love transcends all circumstances, unconditional and boundless. Coming from large families with close-knit sibling and parent relationships, we've always known we wanted children to fill our hearts and home.  We have one biological child, Braelyn, who fills our lives with indescribable joy. After complications following Braelyn's birth and the life-saving measures that were needed, we are unable to carry another child. After years of prayers, opening our hearts to foster children, and difficult decisions, God led us to pursue adoption. In 2022, we were blessed beyond measure to welcome our sweet little guy, Noah, into our family through adoption. His arrival forever changed our lives in the best possible way, and we are so thankful to have him and his birth family as part of our story. As parents, our main goal has always been and will always be to embrace the uniqueness and individuality of our children. We are their biggest cheerleaders, helping them grow, thrive, and know the deep blessing they are to us. Each child is gifted with their own strengths and interests, and it is our mission to create a loving, safe space where their creativity can flourish and where they always feel comfortable sharing their hearts, passions, and dreams. We promise to provide a joyful, loving home where they can be silly, radiate their true selves, and feel completely at peace. We are beyond excited to continue this beautiful journey and add another child to our family, creating lasting memories and traditions that will span the years. We cannot begin to fully understand the selfless and brave choice you have made in choosing adoption for your child, but we hope that, as you get to know us, you will find comfort, support, and reassurance in each step of this journey. Sincerely, Matthew & Brittni
