Hello & Thank You,  


We are Lori and Adam, and we want to thank you for considering us to be your child's adoptive parents. Thinking about the first words we would say to you consumes us, How can we express the gratitude and love we already feel for you? Though our circumstances and situation may be different, our coming together was written in our story long before we knew-- and that is more precious than gold. 


You are selfless, brave, and beyond strong. The magnitude of your decision shows how deeply you love this child. "There is gold in every piece of your story." That saying reminds me of how Japanese culture restores porcelain when it’s been chipped or broken, they piece it back together with a layer of gold. That veining of Gold brings out the beauty in the imperfection, making it a unique centerpiece for a story that has yet been told. We are merely trying to say God is creating a masterpiece out of our story and you are the solid gold God is using to put our broken pieces back together. 


Ever since I was a young girl I have wanted to adopt and be a stay at home Mom. Adoption became more real to us two years after getting married. Due to complications, it made it impossible for me to get pregnant without medical intervention. This was God's way of showing us that while His desire for our lives may be different, it is so beautiful. 


We are beyond excited to grow our family through adoption. Your child will be so loved, adored, and provided for. Your child will know the sacrifice you made and  love you have for them and they will always know where they came from and who their first family is. We look forward to getting to know you and hope to have the opportunity to develop a relationship together. We are praying for you, your health, your pregnancy, and your child.


Much Love,


Adam & Lori

Meet Adam

Meet Dan

Dan is the most amazing person on the planet. He is everything that I ever wanted in a husband, and our son, Garrett, is so lucky to have him as a father. He is kind, patient, and hard-working. He loves to spend his free time playing with Garrett and teaching him new things. I am 

so proud of the parent he is; Dan was meant to be a father. 

Meet Adam

One of the first things that attracted me to Adam was his boldness in asking me on a date without ever speaking to me beforehand. When we finally met, I was immediately captured by his light blue eyes. They felt safe and warm, like nothing could ever harm me as long as he was there.


He is funny and is rarely ever serious. He loves to talk in random voices and is constantly making up songs when he thinks no one else is listening. He loves to laugh, nap, eat, and build things. He has so many God-given talents it's hard just to name one. He has such a drive to achieve his goals and a desire to provide for our family no matter how hard. He is good at anything he sets his mind to and is extremely intelligent with common sense, too.


What I love most about Adam is his love for Jesus, me, and Riley. When Riley made us parents, it brought out a side of him that I had not seen before. It was so precious in those first weeks seeing Adam take over and be super Dad. Singing to her as he rocks her to sleep. Chasing her and throwing her in the air. Being Papa Bear when he felt protective. The twinkle in his eyes when he sees her. His face just lights up, and nothing in the world matters when he is with her.

    • Our Story

    Adam and I were set up by our hairstylist, who had been talking us up to each other for months. One day, she sneakily scheduled our appointments back to back so we’d cross paths. As I walked in, she pointed Adam out and told me to friend her on Facebook—she’d take it from there.


    A few weeks later, I gave in and sent the request. The next day, I got a message from Adam: “Just wanted to say hi and see if you’d like to go to dinner sometime?” I still have it saved. He made reservations at a local favorite I’d always wanted to try, picked me up from the home I had just bought, and after dinner we drove around for hours talking about everything. From that day on, we were inseparable.


    Exactly a year later, Adam proposed in the home that became our family home. Our wedding was held lakeside, with the ceremony and reception at beautiful venues filled with family, friends, and amazing views.

    ļ»æ

    The most unforgettable moment came at the end of the night: my dad, a longtime antique car collector, had promised me a 1963 Corvette when I grew up—but it was never restored. That night, as we prepared to leave, the crowd parted to reveal my little red Corvette, fully restored by Adam and my dad as a surprise. It was the perfect ending to a perfect day—and yes, I ugly cried!

    • Meet Riley

    Hi, I’m Riley; Mamí and Papí adopted me in 2023. It is their desire for me to have a sibling to grow with and be my best friend. I love to laugh, dance, and greet everyone I meet with a huge smile and wave. I love animals, but I especially love my dog Asher and reading books.


    Mamí and Papí feel that it is very important for me to know my heritage and my story. They include my Mexican heritage traditions in our holiday celebrations and incorporate yummy foods. Mamí and Papí are learning Spanish so they can teach me as I grow up. My birth family primarily speaks Spanish, so it’s important that we be able to connect and communicate.

    • Our Home

    Our home is a cottage-style house on a large lot in a great, established neighborhood. Located on a quiet dead-end street with settled neighbors. Our home has three bedrooms, one bath, and a large fenced backyard.


    I purchased this house as a fixer upper when I was single. It quickly became the project that Adam and I put sweat and tears into to renovate and make our home.

    • Adam's Family

    My Mom is the best Mimi any kid could ever ask for—she is so involved in her children and grandchildren’s lives. I have never met a person who would give anything to make sure you are taken care of. My Dad, who was a wonderful Gandadda, passed away in 2013. My younger sister is married and has two children who we adore and love spending time with. They all live about an hour away where I was born and raised. My mom loves spending every moment she can with Riley. We FaceTime when apart and play on the floor together singing pat-a-cake and other nursery rhythms when reunited.


    Mimi is beyond excited to have a fourth grandchild to spoil. Having Riley added to the cousin crew has been such a blessing. Alyssa and Gavin are both obsessed with Riley and are constantly vying for her attention. While Aunt Niki takes her for horse back rides. Riley is now obsessed with horses. Uncle Jeremy loves to tickle her with his facial hair and make her squeal.

    • Lori's Family

    Since I am an only child, my immediate family is very small. My parents have been married 50 years. We all live in the same town, so we have the luxury of having family support close to us. My mom is now retired from our local university. She enjoys gardening and shopping. My dad is kind of a jack of all trades and loves antique cars. My parents and I are animal lovers, and because they live on a few acres of land, we have many animals. I used to refer to our home as an ark because we had two of everything. They are very active with Riley when they see her. Grammy wants all the snuggles and kisses she can get while Grandpa is expected to chase her around saying “I’m gonna get you” as she shrieks and giggles while trying to run away. They are so in love with Riley and can’t wait to share that love with another grandchild.

    From the moment I met Riley I was in love. We are thick as thieves. I love giving kisses and helping her eat her snacks and nap. I am very patient and love kids. Riley rides me like a horse while I sleep. Getting another human will double my fun. I’m a happy boy and can’t wait to meet my new playmate.

    • We love to travel and explore new places. Our favorite place to be is in the mountains. I’m from Texas, born and raised. We travel there all the time since all of my family still live there. We love to eat, so finding a hidden gem that is a local favorite is always at the top of our to-do list.


    Traveling with Riley has definitely added a new layer of joy to our adventures. She is so curious and fearless.


    We have learned so far that, like us, she enjoys the mountains, but she is not yet a beach bum as she doesn’t like the feel of sand in between her toes.


    Getting to see the excitement and sparkle in her eyes as she points to something or says wow, just melts our hearts and we can't wait to add another to our adventures!

    Getting to add Riley to our family was definitely a blessing but Riley came to us with a family of her own. Her birth family is and will always be part of that package. It was also our desire to have a relationship with our birth family. Having said that our relationship with Riley’s birth family is completely open and healthy. No matter the circumstances Riley will always know her roots and how much her birth family loves her. Our communication and sharing in each others lives are as open as what is comfortable and healthy for everyone involved. Our wish is to continue with that kind of open relationship with our new birth family.

    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. We have so much respect and admiration for Atlas's birth mom. 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

    Matthew & Lauren - Texas

    By Brittany Carvalho • November 25, 2024
    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

    Matthew & Brittni – Wisconsin

    By Brittany Carvalho • November 24, 2024
    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. ļ»æ 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

    Hello & Thank You , First and foremost, we want to express our heartfelt gratitude for considering us as adoptive parents for your child. We can only imagine how difficult this decision must be, and we want you to know that your love and concern for your child’s future are deeply admired and appreciated. Our names are Claudia and Anthony. We have been together for eight years, married for six, and have known each other for more than twenty-five. Adoption has always been in our hearts. Our plan was to have a biological child first and then adopt, but God had a different plan. In 2020, we experienced a missed miscarriage, and despite trying again naturally, we were unable to conceive. We explored IVF and fertility treatments, but those were also unsuccessful. This path ultimately led us to adoption and to our greatest blessing, our daughter Lucianna, who joined our family in 2023. She is surrounded by love and brings us so much joy every single day. She cannot wait to be a big sister, and we cannot wait to grow our family again through adoption. If you choose us, your child will always know their adoption story and the incredible love and courage behind your decision. From an early age, they will know their adoption story and grow up knowing how truly loved they are by both you and us. We are committed to providing a nurturing, supportive, and joy-filled home. Your child will be surrounded by a large, loving family, supportive friends, and endless opportunities to learn, grow, and follow their dreams. Most importantly, they will always know they are deeply loved and cherished. Thank you again for considering us as part of your adoption plan. We are ready to welcome another child into our family with open arms and an abundance of love. With sincere appreciation and warmest regards, Anthony & Claudia

    Hello & Thank You , Although we haven't met yet, we have been praying for you. We can only begin to imagine the emotion of your situation, and hope that you feel loved and supported no matter where you are on this journey. We respect your strength and your selflessness for considering adoption. We understand that you want what is best for your precious baby, and we do too, whether with you, with us, or with another great family. We are Carrie and Garot, from Wisconsin, and we are honored to be considered to raise your child. After initially meeting in college, we have been happily married for six years. We were blessed with a pregnancy, but at 23 weeks experienced a rare complication that led to the heartbreaking loss of our daughter and placed Carrie in the ICU for a month. Thankfully, she has fully recovered; however, future pregnancies would still carry the same risk. In 2023, we welcomed our daughter Gianna home through adoption. We look forward to her becoming a big sister in the future and to them being able to share their adoption stories with each other. We believe adoption is not about finding a child for a family, but more about finding a family for the child. You will always be a part of your child's family, and we will always respect the decisions you make for your child. We want to thank you for considering us to be part of your story and your child's story. We promise that you will be honored, cherished, and celebrated each day of your child's life. In our home, your child will be loved unconditionally by us, our daughter, our dogs, our families, and our friends. We can't wait to read bedtime stories, visit the zoo, swing on the swings at the park by our home, attend their first recital or sporting event, bring them to their first day of school, and support them throughout all of their accomplishments. It is our goal that your child grows up happy, healthy, kind, and generous. We have always dreamed of having a large family, and we are looking forward to continuing to grow our family through adoption. We want to thank you for considering us as adoptive parents for your child! Sincerely, Garot & Carrie

Even though we have not met yet, we are already holding you and your child close in our hearts. We admire your strength and bravery, and we promise to be by your side every step of the way. If you choose us, we will welcome your child into our family and home with open arms and open hearts. We will protect and care for your child for the rest of our lives. We will dance in the rain wearing yellow rain boots. We will face the hard times, celebrate the joyful moments, overcome fears, and experience everything life has to offer - all together. We are Iván, Angel, and our sweet daughter, Milana, who cannot wait to become a big sister! Our home is full of energy, love, and laughter. We also have three little barking babies who keep us on our toes and fill our days with endless smiles. Our family is as loving and close-knit as you could ever hope to find. Our path to having another child has been challenging. After trying for years to grow our family, we realized adoption was the right path for us. We are so grateful for this opportunity and ready to love and care for a child with all our hearts. If you choose us, we promise to give your child a safe, loving home filled with happiness and support. To us, life is meant to be lived fully and joyfully. We dance often, sing at the top of our lungs, and laugh nonstop. While we take our responsibilities seriously and have worked hard to build the life and family we cherish, we also believe in not taking ourselves too seriously. We find beauty in the simple things and make sure to slow down and savor them. Everything we do, we do as a team - and our grandmas and grandpas love joining in on the fun and being part of our family adventures. Thank you for taking the time to get to know us. We hold deep respect and gratitude for you as you consider this decision. We hope to have the honor of welcoming your child into our family and sharing a lifetime of love and joy. With love, Iván & Angel
