Joe & Dani – Wisconsin

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

Meet Joe

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 Joe

Joe is an amazing dad to our boys, and I know he would be to your child. He is loving, gentle, and affectionate. Whenever one of our kids is upset, Joe is right there, holding them and helping them work through their feelings. He loves taking the kids on outdoor adventures to explore, and together they enjoy playing chase and eating ice cream. Joe is incredibly patient and a very good listener, a quality that means so much to our family. He is thoughtful and empathetic, always trying to see things from another person’s perspective. I feel very grateful to have such a supportive and caring partner.



Joe is also the first to crawl on the floor, get messy, or fully commit to a made-up game with wild rules. He has no problem wearing a baby carrier or pretending to be whatever character the kids ask him to be that day. It’s one of the many ways he shows our kids that they are worth his time, attention, and wholehearted love.

Dani is the most thoughtful and caring person and mother I know. I could not imagine a better mom for our kids. She makes sure our kids always know how much she loves them—telling them “I love you” every day.


She has a true passion for reading, and her love of books has been passed down to our kids. She also loves building forts and baking with Emerson and Benjamin, teaching them new things, and sharing in their everyday adventures.



Dani spent 13 years as a first grade teacher, and I have always been amazed by her dedication and care for her students. Recently, she transitioned to a training role so she could spend more time at home with our kids. She always puts our kids first and cares deeply about their growth and happiness. I know she would be an incredible mother to your child as well.

Our Story

Our story began online in 2014. We immediately connected, laughed until we cried, and knew life would never be the same. In 2015, Joe proposed on a quiet walk through the woods with a secret magical setup of lights and decorations. We married in 2016, and it was the perfect outdoor wedding.

 

Supporting each other’s goals has always been central to our relationship. Through late nights, busy schedules, and constant encouragement, we've learned how powerful teamwork can be and how much stronger we are side by side. Those same values shape how we parent today.


We love exploring the world together, from big adventures in hot air balloons to beautiful beaches, but we are just as happy staying in, cooking dinner (and desserts!), and watching a movie. We are the happiest when surrounded by friends and family, hosting gatherings or planning trips. At our core, we are teammates who love learning, adventure, and building a life full of connection and joy.

Meet Emerson & Benjamin

Emerson is a happy, giggly, and creative kid with a huge, loving heart. He loves giving hugs, especially to his brother, Benjamin. Emerson enjoys driving his Power Wheels truck, playing pretend, baking cookies, and building with Legos.


Emerson is the most caring big brother. He loves playing with Benjamin and says he can’t wait for our family to have 3 kids. He enjoys teaching his brother new things and sharing his cars with him. When Benjamin is sad, Emerson comforts him by singing made-up songs and telling him he loves him. He is gentle, patient, and kind with younger children, and would be an amazing big brother to your child.


Benjamin is a happy, silly, and easygoing little boy. He loves giving big hugs, especially to our dog, Addie. Benjamin enjoys playing with balls and stuffed animals, going to the park, “driving” the shopping cart, and climbing through tunnels and obstacle courses.


Benjamin adores his big brother and always wants to be near him or play with him. He has so much fun playing with the kids in our neighborhood and enjoys children of all ages, including younger kids and babies. He is gentle, sweet, and loves being silly and trying new things, especially things his big brother can do. We are excited to watch him be a loving and caring big brother.

Our Home

Our home is a ranch-style with four bedrooms. From the moment you walk in, our home is full of laughter, music, dancing, games, arts and crafts, and toys. You’ll often find us playing together, building block towers, playing Hide and Go Seek, cooking in the pretend kitchen, or playing with neighborhood friends.


We have a finished basement with a large playroom and living space filled with toys, a small slide, books, a play kitchen, and a kid-sized table. We love building blanket forts and playing pretend. Outside, we have a beautiful fenced-in backyard and a recently added playset. We love playing outside with our dog, Addie, and running through the sprinkler. We enjoy having cookouts and making s’mores around the campfire. Our home is often filled with family, friends, and neighbors, and living in a state with all four seasons gives us endless opportunities for outdoor adventures.

We are fortunate to have so many family-friendly places nearby, including a children’s museum, zoo, train museum with real trains to explore, a boardwalk along the water, an amusement park, splash pads, a wildlife sanctuary, and so many more fun places to explore together!

Beyond Boundaries

Family is very important to us. We are very close to both sides of our families. Joe has a sister, and Dani has three brothers, so our children are surrounded by loving aunts and uncles who are involved in their lives. We spend a lot of time together with our parents, siblings, grandparents, aunts, and uncles, and your child would be welcomed with open arms and so much love.


We celebrate every holiday together. Our time is full of laughter, games, and yummy food. The kids love having so many people to play with, and the adults happily join in, too. Dani’s brothers especially love playing with the kids and teaching them new things. All of the little cousins have so much fun playing outside at Nana and Papa’s house, especially in the sandbox.

Our Sweet Pup, Addie

Our puppy, Addie, is an over-the-top friendly and loving golden retriever. She absolutely loves people, especially kids. She gets so excited when people come over that her whole body wags with excitement, not just her tail. We joke that she thinks visitors come just to see her. While Addie is very mellow inside the house, she also has plenty of playful energy outdoors and is truly a “go with the flow” kind of dog.



Addie is great with kids. With so many young kids in our family, she is used to being right in the middle of the fun. She is gentle and patient with Emerson and Benjamin, letting them give her lots of hugs and kisses! Addie is so silly that she will often convince just about anyone to pet her and play with her. We know Addie will be an amazing best friend to your child, too.

We enjoy living a balanced lifestyle, making time to be active while also slowing down to relax and recharge together. We love going on adventures, both close to home and farther away, and you can often find us playing with the neighborhood kids or spending time at the park.


We love spending time outdoors—going for walks, picking fruits, exploring new parks, and attending local events like light shows. In the winter months, we embrace the season by sledding, building snowmen and forts, ice skating, and cozying up with hot chocolate.


On a typical long weekend, we might head up north to the lake house or Door County. We love spending time outdoors, including going for walks, boating, fishing, swimming, playing with the dogs, relaxing at the beach, and visiting the park. These moments together are some of our favorite family memories.

Adventure Awaits

We enjoy traveling together and often plan fun mini-trips as a family. We have gone on two big adventures to other states and are excited to travel to Florida for our family vacation this year. We also love simple day trips, like bottle feeding baby goats at a farm or eating at a restaurant where a mini train delivers your food. No matter where we go, we always have fun together.

Our Friends

Our friends are just like family to us. We spend lots of time together at cookouts, the park, weekends up north, and on fun mini-trips to the zoo and other kid-friendly adventures. We even do Friendsgiving every year, which has become a favorite tradition. Many of our friends have children, so our kids are growing up with wonderful friendships and lots of fun playdates. Our friends are truly our chosen family, and these relationships mean so much to us and are a big part of our everyday life.

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

Miguel & Courtney - Wisconsin

By Brittany Carvalho • February 11, 2026
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

Garot & Carrie – Wisconsin

By Brittany Carvalho • February 7, 2026
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

Iván & Angel – Alabama

By Brittany Carvalho • February 6, 2026
Hello & Thank You , We are truly excited to meet you and thank you for taking the time to get to know us. 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 with open arms and open hearts, and love and protect them for the rest of our lives. We will dance in the rain wearing yellow rain boots, face challenges together, celebrate joyful moments, and experience all that life has to offer as a family.  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, along with our three little dogs who keep us smiling. Our family is close-knit, supportive, and full of joy. 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. As we began the adoption process, we received the unexpected but joyful news that we are pregnant. While this was a surprise, it has only deepened our excitement about growing our family through both birth and adoption. We have always envisioned a home filled with love, and we believe having children close in age will create a unique and beautiful bond between siblings. One full of friendship, support, and shared experiences. No matter how a child comes into our family, we will love them with every fiber of our being. Our commitment to adoption remains strong, and we are excited to welcome more children into a home where they will be deeply cherished. Our daughter is busy sorting through all the stuffed animals and toys that she can’t wait to share! She is beyond excited to be a big sister, and we are thrilled to welcome new siblings into our home! We live life with joy—dancing, singing, and laughing often—while also valuing the importance of family, stability, and togetherness. Everything we do is as a team, with grandparents who love being part of our lives and 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 would be honored to welcome your child into our family and share a lifetime of love. With love, Iván & Angel

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

While we may never fully understand everything you are experiencing, please know that we see your bravery, love, and sacrifice. As we share a bit about ourselves and the life we hope to offer your child, know that our hearts are full of gratitude for you and the love you are showing through this process.  We’re Jonathan and Melissa. We’ve been together for 13 years and married for 5. While we don’t have children yet, our 13-year-old dog, Benji, is truly part of the family. He’s like our first baby. We were both born and raised in California but moved to Texas in 2020 and now love calling it home. Our faith is a big part of who we are, and we regularly attend church, which helps guide our values and how we hope to raise a family. We treasure time with our loved ones, many of whom have children we enjoy being around. Your child will grow up surrounded by a close-knit, caring group, including excited grandparents, cousins to grow up with, and family friends who feel like extended family. We’re also blessed with a diverse circle of people from many backgrounds, all bringing love, support, and unique perspectives. We can’t wait for your child to join in the laughter, love, and joyful chaos that fills our lives. As a couple, our focus will always be on your child’s happiness and well-being. We’re committed to providing a stable, loving home where they feel safe, supported, and unconditionally loved. Whatever their dreams or path may be, we’ll be there with guidance, encouragement, and a strong foundation. Our greatest hope is to provide your child with every opportunity to thrive, while always honoring the love and bravery behind your decision. As they grow, we will ensure they know their story and the love that led to your courageous choice. Sincerely, Jonathan & Melissa

Hello & Thank You , We want to thank you for taking the time to get to know us. While we cannot imagine the feelings you have or will experience in your decision to create an adoption plan for your child, we hope you feel loved and supported, and we personally want you to know how brave and selfless we think you are. We are Andy and Mandy, and we currently share our home and lives with 2 very different yet equally fun and snuggly doggos, Sophie and Maxx. Andy and I have been married for 8 years and together for just over 20 years. Our early years in our relationship were spent having fun, growing as individuals and as a couple, and then establishing our careers. We knew early into our marriage we wanted a family. We tried for years to grow our family on our own, but through many different tests and treatments, we realized that may not be something we are able to do. Throughout our relationship, we had always been open to adoption; many friends and family have shared their journey with adoption and fostering, so our hearts were always open to this, and we have seen that biology doesn’t define the love and care provided to a child. Because of our family's experience in adoption and fostering, we know the importance of your child understanding their birth story, where they came from, and how truly special they and their birth family are to us. If you decide to make an adoption plan with us, we want you to know how loved not only your child will be, but also how cared for and supported you will be. We are so grateful for your time and hope that our profile provides you the insight into our lives, the people we are, and the love, care, and security we can provide. We want to offer you our sincerest support and wish for you to know what an honor and blessing you may be giving our family we are chosen to be the adoptive parents for your child. Sincerely,  Andy & Mandy
