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!

Love Makes a Family

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.

Jose & Daniella - Texas

By Brittany Carvalho • February 13, 2026
Hello & Thank You , First, we want to thank you for taking a look into our lives and reviewing our book. We can’t even begin to understand what you are going through, but we pray that God continues to give you strength and courage through all the emotions you are feeling. We know that you are a selfless woman just by knowing that you are choosing to create an adoption plan for your child. Our names are Jose and Daniella. We met each other in 2014, and we got married in 2016. A year later, we began trying to have a child of our own. After three years of seeing a fertility doctor and seven years of trying different treatments, we were unsuccessful. Jose and I want to expand our family, and we know adoption is the answer to our prayers. We both have siblings we grew up with, and we hope that we are able to add another sibling to expand our love and family in the near future. We want you to know that your child is already loved by so many, including grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, and many more family members. We promise to raise your child with unconditional love, provide many life skills, compassion, respect, morals, and provide any education your child dreams of. We also believe in God and would love to raise your child knowing who God is. If you choose us to be part of your adoption plan, we can assure you that we will share your child’s adoption story with them from the very beginning. We will celebrate the love you have for them and honor the decision you made. Thank you once again for this opportunity to get to know us. This process has been one we prayed and cried about, as having a family of our own has been a difficult journey for us both. As you glance through our book, we pray that you see the love we share with each other, our families, our faith, and the joy we have for the future journey we have prayed about. Whichever decision you make, we want you to know that you will forever be in our prayers. Sincerely, Jose & Daniella

Josh & Caitlin – Louisiana

By Brittany Carvalho • February 5, 2026
Hello & Thank You , It is nice to "meet" you. Thank you so much for taking the time to read this letter about us. Our names are Caitlin and Josh. We cannot begin to imagine what you may be feeling right now, but we know that you love your baby deeply and want what is best for them. We admire and respect you for your decision to create an adoption plan and recognize the courage and strength it takes to get here. We have been married for 10 years and have wanted to start a family for a long time. After going through IVF and experiencing losses, we felt God calling us to adoption. Two years ago, we were blessed to become parents through the adoption of our daughter. She is truly the answer to every prayer we have ever prayed. We would love for her to grow up with a sibling and feel called to adopt again. We have a wonderful open adoption with our daughter’s birth mom and hope to have that same kind of relationship with you if that is something you would like. We are Christian and very family-oriented with large, loving families close by. It is important to us that our daughter and any future children grow up surrounded by love and support from not just us but from our extended family as well. We are blessed to see our families often and to travel together for holidays and special occasions. It brings us such joy to watch our daughter play with her cousins and experience those special family moments. Our greatest hope is to raise our children to know and love the Lord above all else. We want them to be kind, strong, and self-sufficient with a good work ethic and confidence in who they are. We will always encourage them to discover their passions and will support them however we can so they can reach any goal they may have for the future. We are eager to share more with you. Our thoughts and prayers are with you through this journey. We pray for peace and health through the time ahead. We are happy to answer any questions that you may have about us. We appreciate your time and consideration and would love the opportunity to share more with you. Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with you on this journey. We are praying for your peace and health in the days ahead, and we would be honored to answer any questions you may have about us. Sincerely, Josh & Caitlin

Lane & Bre - Texas

By Brittany Carvalho • February 4, 2026
Hello & Thank You , Thank you for considering us to be parents of your child. We cannot imagine what you’re going through and how difficult this must be, but we admire your strength and the love you have for your child. My name is Bre, and my husband is Lane. We began dating in 2018 and were married in 2021. Adoption has been on my heart since before we were married. By our fourth date, I shared with Lane that I likely wouldn’t be able to have kids biologically, and that adoption would likely be the route to starting a family. It may have been early in a relationship for such a heavy conversation, but luckily, it didn’t scare Lane in the least bit. His steady support only deepened my love for him. We are excited to grow our family and can’t wait to be parents. I was a teacher for many years and now work in an administrative role at a school. Between my time in education, time spent with friends’ children, and the wonderful moments I share with my niece and nephews, I’ve gained a lot of experience with children and love spending time with them. Lane is a project manager and enjoys the work-life balance his job provides. He has no work travel and very predictable hours, which we feel will be ideal when raising a child. Lane is amazing with our friends’ kids, our godchildren, and his niece and nephews, all of whom adore him. He’s always the favorite among the kids; they love playing and interacting with Lane and think he is so much fun. We are fortunate to have a huge community of friends and family all nearby. We spend a lot of time with them, and your child will be surrounded by that same love and support. We promise your child a warm, loving home filled with fun, safety, family traditions, and unique experiences. Your child will always be encouraged to cultivate their interests, value learning, embrace their individuality, experience new things, and embody kindness. We will be honest and open with your child about who they are, where they come from, and how much they are loved by both you and us. Whatever your decision may be, thank you for taking the time to consider us. Sincerely, Lane & Bre

Nick & Chelsea – Texas

By Brittany Carvalho • February 3, 2026
Hello & Thank You , We are Chelsea and Nick, and we are truly honored and grateful that you are considering us as potential adoptive parents for your child. We want to acknowledge the immense courage and strength it takes to choose adoption, and we deeply appreciate the thought and care you are giving to this decision. Our journey to adoption has been deeply personal. While we have faced struggles with infertility, our desire to adopt began long before we were married. Growing up, Chelsea was surrounded by adoption. Two of her siblings, her aunt, and her uncle were all adopted, so building a family this way has always felt natural to her. Our faith in God plays a central role in our lives, guiding us to love, serve, and trust His plan. Adoption reflects the love and grace we believe He has shown us, and it is a path we hold very dear. After facing challenges and experiencing a loss, we were so blessed to welcome our daughter, Sofia, into our lives through adoption. She is everything to us, our little miracle and a daily reminder that love and hope can turn any hardship into something beautiful. For us, adoption represents not only the joy and love of expanding our family but also the incredible strength and love of parents like you who make this choice. We are surrounded by family and friends who have embraced our journey and who share in our joy and commitment to providing a nurturing and supportive home. As parents, we hope to offer a child a home where they will feel cherished and encouraged to grow, celebrate their uniqueness, and pursue their dreams in every way possible. Should we be chosen, we want your child to always know how special, wanted, and deeply loved they are—not only by our family and us but also by you. We want you to know that you will always hold a meaningful and cherished place in their life and in our family. Please know that your decision, whatever it may be, is honored and supported. Thank you for considering us as potential adoptive parents and for the hope you bring to families like ours. Please know that you are in our prayers. With heartfelt appreciation, Nick & Chelsea

Cody & Brittany – Texas

By Brittany Carvalho • January 31, 2026
Hello & Thank You , Thank you so much for considering us as potential adoptive parents for your child. My name is Brittany, and my husband is Cody. We have been together for over ten years and live here in Texas with our two young boys and three dogs. We feel incredibly blessed that you are taking the time to read our story as we pursue adoption to grow our family. Adoption has always been close to our hearts. Even when we were young and best friends, we often talked about building a big family, long before we understood the medical challenges we would later face. Cody was adopted by his father at the age of two and grew up in a loving home with his parents and three siblings. I was raised in Colorado with my parents and sister, whom I love dearly. We are both blessed with large, supportive families who are excited to walk alongside us on this journey. We truly cannot imagine the emotions you are feeling as you create an adoption plan. Your strength and selflessness are deeply admirable. We want you to feel comfortable, supported, and loved throughout this process. If you choose us, your child will always know their adoption story, the courage behind your decision, and where it all began. Your child will be surrounded by love in our home, with two fierce big brothers who will treasure them, dedicated parents, and a whole community of family and friends. No matter what decision you make, please know you will remain in our thoughts and prayers. Cody and I have faced unimaginable challenges together, and through them we have built a marriage rooted in faith, strength, passion, and unconditional love. Our children are always our top priority. Cody’s dedication has allowed me to stay home and focus fully on raising our children, which has been an incredible blessing. He is hardworking, driven, and devoted to our family, and I am passionate about motherhood and caring for our children each day. Our sons are truly our miracles. While I was able to carry both pregnancies, each came with life-threatening complications. After welcoming our second child, we knew that adoption was the path God was leading us toward. Over the past two years, we have prayerfully and thoughtfully considered this decision, and we believe adoption is the next step in making our family whole. Becoming parents has been the greatest joy of our lives, and we cannot wait to share that love with another child. Love, Cody & Brittany

Jason & Vanessa – Texas

By Brittany Carvalho • January 30, 2026
Hello & Thank You , Thank you so much for taking the time to get to know us. We cannot begin to understand the emotions you may be feeling or what you may be going through, but we recognize your courage and feel truly honored that you would consider us. We want to share a little bit about our family with you. We are Jason, Vanessa, and Alex. We have always wanted to have a family and have known for some time that adoption would be our choice for building a family. I, Vanessa, learned as a teenager that I would not be able to have biological children. When we began dating, I told Jason about my experience with infertility, and I was moved by his support and openness to adoption. In 2023, we were blessed to be matched with amazing birth parents when Alexander was born. Our hearts have been so full, and we have been so grateful to become Alex’s adoptive parents. Both our lives have been touched by adoption. As a toddler, I was adopted by my stepdad, and Jason has a cousin who adopted children after fostering. We also have friends who have adopted, and we have a close friend whose sister placed her child for adoption. We've listened to their experiences to help us understand their unique stories and perspectives. We have a wonderful relationship with Alex’s birth parents. We have in-person visits with them and regularly share photos and updates through texts. We look forward to getting to know you and welcome an open adoption relationship that feels comfortable and right for you. We believe it is important for your child to know their adoption story and that your decision was made from a place of deep love. They will know how special they and their birth family are. We are so excited for the opportunity to build our family. We are committed to providing a loving, nurturing, stable home for your child to thrive. For us, parenting means having unconditional love, lots of story times, holding space for our children’s emotions, encouraging their curiosity, enjoying the outdoors, laughter, faith, and spending time with friends and extended family. We appreciate your time and consideration. We will continue to pray for you and the decision you are making. We truly hope you feel at peace with the decision that feels right for you. Sincerely, Jason & Vanessa

Joe & Dani – Wisconsin

By Brittany Carvalho • January 29, 2026
Hello & Thank You , We are Dani, Joe, Emerson, and Benjamin. Nice to meet you! We are so grateful to you for taking the time to get to know us a little better. We realize you may be feeling many different emotions at this time, and we want you to know that we will be supportive of you and your child. We will care about you, too. Our hope in creating this book is that you'll feel the love, laughter, and joy in our daily lives and our adventures, and be able to imagine what a life with us could be like for your child. We have two children, Benjamin and Emerson. After complications from Dani's pregnancy with Emerson that led to a hysterectomy, Dani is no longer able to carry a child. In 2023, we adopted our son, Benjamin, and have an open relationship with his birth family. We are so grateful to his birth family for choosing us and trusting us to raise their child. We are excited to grow our family once again through adoption and are thankful to you for taking the time to get to know us. If you choose us, your child will grow up alongside two sweet and playful big brothers who are curious, energetic, and full of love. They will also have a gentle golden retriever nearby for snuggles and games of fetch. Our home is filled with laughter and connection, and we are intentional about creating a space where our children feel secure, encouraged, and deeply loved. We acknowledge that you have a very important role in your child’s life, and we would like to have an open adoption so that your child will know their story. It is important to us that we honor your wishes regarding the level of openness you would like in your child’s life. We will keep the promises we make together and always put your child’s needs at the center of our decisions. We both value kindness, curiosity, humor, and a love of learning, and we strive to model those values every day. We want our children to grow up feeling unconditionally loved, seen, heard, and supported. Even when life feels challenging, we face it together and always put our kids first. We are so excited to grow our family through adoption and would be honored to give your child that same love and support. Thank you for taking the time to read our story. We would truly love to get to know you. With Love, Joe & Dani

Hello & Thank You , We’d like to start by saying how much we admire your courage and selflessness in creating an adoption plan. We recognize you have an overwhelming decision to make, and we are devoted to providing love and support. If you would like us to, we would be honored to walk this journey with you. Adoption has been a lifelong dream for both of us. We believe sharing the joys of life and this beautiful world with a child is life's greatest blessing. My name is Ashley, and my husband of nine years is George. Four years ago, we were blessed to welcome our daughter Gianna through adoption. Adoption has always been deeply personal to us because it shaped both of our families. My older brother and I were adopted by our father at different times in our lives, and George’s close-knit extended family continues to grow through adoption. Family means everything to us. Your child will grow up surrounded by cousins who understand family is created through love, not blood. Our large supportive family has so much unconditional love to share. We want your baby to grow up knowing they were chosen and loved from the very beginning. In our family, culture is celebrated daily. Our daughter, Gianna, is biracial, and we are committed to supporting her identity by surrounding her with pride and belonging. We cook dinner together every night, filling our home with music, stories, and the flavors of the places we come from. We travel often, seek out communities that reflect our children, and participate in local cultural festivals and events. We would do the same for any child who joins our family. We respect you and this journey. If chosen, we are fully open to communication in any way which feels right to you, from pictures and updates to in-person visits. It is in a child’s best interest to have a large and loving support system. We want your baby to always know where they come from and how loved they have been from the very beginning. We have an authentic, close relationship with Gianna’s birth parents, and we would hope for a similar relationship with you if that is what you desire. Thank you again for taking the time to get to know us. We are forever grateful for the chance to grow our family. Sharing this journey with you would be our honor. Love, George & Ashley

Hello & Thank You , Thank you so much for taking the time to learn about us and consider us as you explore your options. We know this isn't an easy decision. While we cannot know what you are experiencing, we truly respect the care and thought that goes into creating an adoption plan. We are Douglas and Pamela. We’ve been together for thirteen years and married for nine. Throughout our relationship, we’ve talked about building our family through adoption, and Pamela has known since she was a teen that adoption would likely be the safest way to start a family. While we did spend time hoping to conceive, we later learned that pregnancy would come with significant medical risks, including a very high chance of miscarriage and complications that could affect both her and the baby. After many visits with doctors and thoughtful conversations with each other, we chose adoption as the right path for us. We’re excited to open our hearts, our home, and share everyday moments together as a family! If chosen, your child will be raised in a loving, stable environment where they are deeply cared for and supported. They will grow up knowing their story began with love and care. We will always speak of you with respect and gratitude. Thank you again for considering us as adoptive parents for your child. Whatever you decide, we wish you peace, support, and kindness as you move forward. Sincerely, Douglas & Pamela
