Lane & Bre - Texas

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

Meet Lane

Meet Lane

Lane is the most loyal, grounded, sentimental, and reliable person I know. He loves spending quality time with me, his friends, and his family. He shows his love through acts of service, compliments, and cheesy sayings. His cheesy compliments may make me roll my eyes, but those, along with his smile, are part of the reason I fell in love with him.


His favorite thing to do is golf, and rarely a week goes by that he doesn’t at least go to the driving range. No matter his schedule, though, he always prioritizes time with me and our household duties. Although he may not enjoy household chores as much as he does golf, he always contributes and makes our relationship a true partnership in all things. We enjoy going out and doing things together, but we also enjoy simple things together, such as cooking dinner or watching a favorite show.


Lane is truly the best with kids. We always joke that we don’t know why because he didn’t grow up spending time with young kids, but he’s a natural. Our godchildren adore him, as do our niece and nephews. They always want to play with Uncle Lane! When I spend time with Lane, I feel joy and at peace, and I know that is how he will make a child feel.

Meet Bre

Bre is genuinely one of the most selfless and caring people I have ever met. She never misses a chance to tell me how much she loves me, and it never gets old hearing her say it. I like teasing her with great pickup lines or cheesy sayings, and her smile afterward makes it all worth it.


Her favorite thing to do is spend time with her family, and not a day goes by without at least chatting with her mom. Bre also enjoys trying new things with me, such as restaurants, as we explore different parts of the metroplex. We plan to travel more as we get older to explore not only this country but also other countries.

 

She is a big softy when it comes to friends’ kids, our families' kids, or our godchildren, as she is always one of the favorites. She is so calm around the children and loves to have new toys for them to play with when they come over.

Our Story

We first met in college through mutual friends and even attended some of the same events, but we did not begin dating until years later. We reconnected at our best friends’ Halloween party, where Lane asked me on a date. I almost backed out because we had so many mutual friends and worried about what might happen if it did not work out, but with encouragement from my best friend, I decided to go.


From our first date, we knew it was something special. Conversation came easily, and we felt comfortable with each other right away. While dating, we bonded over trying new restaurants, traveling, going to concerts, and spending time with friends and family.



We made it through the pandemic and the snowstorm together, which showed us how strong we are as a couple. Lane proposed in our kitchen in January of 2021, and we were married in November of 2021, surrounded by our closest friends and family.

Lane owned a home before we got married, but shortly after, we bought our current house together. We moved to our house in June 2022, and we chose our neighborhood because it’s a nice, safe area with great schools.


Our house is a three-bedroom, two-bathroom house with a study that we currently use as our workout room. It has a wonderful porch and pool in the backyard that we use constantly in the summer, and we love to have all our friends and their kids over for pool days. A great playground for kids is less than a mile from our house.

Lane's Family

Lane's Family

My family stays closely connected through regular texts and calls, even though we do not all live in the same area. My parents have been married for 37 years and now enjoy retirement and lake life. My mom is a retired ICU nurse, so she is always the first call when someone needs advice or help.


My brother is married to a wonderful woman, and they have a son who is almost two and completely adored by all of us. They still live in the town where we grew up and love the close knit, small town life. My sister is also married and has two children, ages five and three. Her husband is in the Air Force, which has taken them to different places. They currently live near the beach, which makes visits extra special, and once he retires, they plan to move back to Texas.


Our family would welcome another child with open arms. The kids would love having another cousin, and the aunts and uncles have been eagerly waiting for the chance to celebrate with Bre and me since we first shared our hopes of adopting.

My family is close knit and has always been incredibly supportive. My parents have been married for almost 40 years, and I have a younger brother who recently got married. He chose a wonderful partner, and we were all so excited to welcome her into our family. We all live about 30 minutes from one another, including one of my grandmothers, which allows us to spend a lot of time together.


Their support goes far beyond words and shows up in everyday life. If we need help staining a fence, building shelves, or reorganizing the garage, my family is always there without hesitation. We truly show up for one another, and I know this same love and support will surround your child.


This will be my parents’ first grandchild, and they are over the moon with excitement. Since we live close and my parents will be retired soon, they are looking forward to being very involved and actively present in their grandchild’s life.

Cat Life

Lane was not a fan of cats when we started dating, since his only experience had been with a feral cat his family briefly had that attacked everyone. Loving my cats was non negotiable, though. At the time, I had two rescue cats, and our orange tabby, Mallie, loved attention and quickly won Lane over. Before long, Lane was officially a cat person.


Sadly, our sweet Mallie passed away this year from cancer, but we still have our black cat, Bentley. He definitely favors me, which Lane says is because I saved him, but Lane is a close second. Bentley greets him at the door, rubs on him, and happily shares snacks and dinner. Steak is his favorite, just like Lane.


Bentley is more reserved with guests than Mallie was, but once he warms up, he loves pets, toys, snuggles, and treats. He is clever and curious and often sneaks into the pantry to wait for treats, keeping us laughing.

We have a large group of friends close by that we are lucky enough to see regularly. We enjoy getting together with them to watch football games, for holiday parties, for birthdays, and for pool days. We often meet them out at restaurants where the kids can run around and play. It’s a great time filled with fun and laughter, especially when all the kids are around.

 

Our best friends asked us to be godparents to their two children, and we were so honored. We love getting together with them for dinner and having them over to swim.



Our friends are all supportive of each other and help each other whenever needed, and I know they will be supportive and loving of your child. The kids will love having another person to play with, too!

Travel

We love traveling to new locations and experiencing new adventures. From small towns to the mountains to beaches, we love it all!


On our first Valentine’s, we took a quick trip to Fort Worth and realized we love exploring new places together. Some of the places we’ve traveled together are Cape Cod, Jamaica, Mexico, San Diego, and Colorado, and we’ve had a blast on every trip. But some of our favorite trips have been to small towns in Texas, where we've spent time hiking, exploring shops, trying local restaurants, and just enjoying slow-paced, quality time together.



We look forward to taking a child on many travel adventures with us and exposing them to exciting, unique experiences.

Bre’s Family Traditions:   My family loves to celebrate and spend time together. We’re lucky to live close and gather often, even for dinner “just because.” We never miss birthdays or holidays, and Christmas at my parents’ house is especially meaningful, filled with food, games, gifts, and laughter. It’s our favorite holiday, and Lane has fully embraced our over-the-top traditions.


My grandma is known for her baking, especially her chocolate chip cookies, and baking with her is something I cherish. Games are also a big part of our family time, and my dad loves teaching others how to play.


Lane’s Family Traditions:  I grew up with hunting, fishing, and lots of lake time, especially fishing with my dad and brother. Much of my childhood was spent at the lake, boating, swimming, and fishing with extended family. Now that my parents live at the lake, I treasure the time we spend together fishing, boating, swimming, and enjoying fish fries. Even though we don’t all live close, these moments together are incredibly special, and I look forward to sharing them with another child.

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

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

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

Douglas & Pamela - Texas

By Brittany Carvalho • January 27, 2026
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

Jesus & Abbey - Texas

By Brittany Carvalho • January 26, 2026
Hello & Thank You , From the very beginning, we want you to know you are seen and valued. We can’t imagine the strength it takes to walk this journey, and we truly admire your courage. As it says in Isaiah 41:10, “Do not fear for I am with you. I will strengthen you and help you.” We pray you feel that promise wrapped around you. That you are not alone, that you are supported and that God’s strength is carrying you through each step. Thank you for taking the time to get to know us. It feels hard to put into words how much love and gratitude we already feel as we write this. Our names are Abbey and Jesus, and we live in Texas with our two dogs, Drax and Willow. Little did we know that a simple haircut would be the start of our lifelong adventure together. We have been together for eight years and married for almost 5 years. From that day forward, we built a life full of love, laughter, and faith. Every step has brought us closer, and now our hearts are ready to welcome a child with the same care and devotion we’ve poured into each other. We later found out that we could not have biological children due to infertility issues. While that news was difficult, it only strengthens what we already knew in our hearts that we wanted to be parents and share all the love we have to give. Adoption felt like the path God was leading us toward, and it has been calling to us ever since. We are so excited to open our hearts and home to your child. We promise they will always feel safe, loved, cared for, and supported. We believe it is important for your child to understand their adoption story and to grow up knowing how deeply loved by everyone involved. The relationship between a child and their birth family is significant, and we strongly support an open adoption. However comfortable you are, we would truly welcome you to be a part of their life. Thank you for opening your heart to read our story. No matter what you decide, we wish you peace, comfort, and endless love for you and your child. With love and gratitude, Jesus & Abbey

Andy & Katie – Wisconsin

By Brittany Carvalho • January 25, 2026
Hello & Thank You , We sincerely appreciate you taking the time to learn about who we are, and we are honored and humbled that you would consider us to adopt your child. While we can never fully understand how difficult this decision is or what you are going through, we want you to know that we see your strength, bravery, and selflessness. We will make sure your child grows up knowing that, and feeling proud of their story and where they come from. We are committed to being open and honest every step of the way. We are Andy and Katie. We have been married for 10 years and have known each other for 14. From the very beginning of our relationship, we knew we wanted to build a family together. About a year into our marriage, we began trying, but faced many challenges and soon started infertility treatments. After many years, tests, and procedures without success, we felt called to pursue adoption, not realizing our greatest gift was yet to come. We met our son, Jude, in March of 2024, and our lives changed in the best possible way. He is the love of our lives and has been surrounded by the love and support of our family, friends, and community from the very beginning. The additional love of the family we gained through his birth parents and birth grandmother has been immeasurable, and we truly feel that it was meant to be. Jude is so ready to be a big brother, and we are thrilled to grow our family through adoption again. When it comes to raising your child, we promise to surround them with love, from us and from the many people who support us. We will teach them to lead with empathy, kindness, and respect for others. We promise a life filled with joy, laughter, cuddles, storytimes, music, and adventure. We will be their biggest advocate. Most of all, we promise to always be open and honest, sharing their story with them and helping them feel proud of who they are. We are so grateful for you and hope our profile gives you a glimpse into our lives and helps you feel a sense of comfort in what lies ahead. We would be honored to learn more about you and walk this journey alongside you, whenever and if you feel ready. With gratitude and love, Andy & Katie

Phill & Shayle – Missouri

By Brittany Carvalho • January 24, 2026
Hello & Thank You , We are Phill and Shayle, and we feel truly honored that you have taken the time to look at our profile and consider us as potential adoptive parents for your child. We can only begin to imagine how difficult this decision may be for you. What we do know is that it comes from a place of deep love. It takes an incredibly strong person to made a choice like this, one rooted in hope and care for your child. We want you to know how much we respect you and the journey you are on. Even though we haven’t met, please know that you have been in our hearts and prayers. Our daughter, Letti, is from Phill’s first marriage. She has always dreamed of becoming a big sister, and we know she will be a wonderful one. Even before we were married, we talked about adoption and knew it was part of the life we wanted to build together. To us, family is not defined only by biology. It is also built on love, connection, and commitment, and our hearts have always been open to growing our family through adoption. We want you to know that your child’s story matters deeply to us. We believe that being adopted is an important and meaningful part of who they are, just like their cultural and ethnic background. We are committed to being open and honest from the very beginning. We want them to know about you, where they came from, and the love that surrounds their story. We would love the opportunity to get to know you, your hopes, your dreams, and what you envision for your child’s future. We are open to whatever level of communication feels right and comfortable for you, and we are committed to building a relationship based on trust and respect. As you look through our book, we hope it brings you comfort and gives you a glimpse into the love, laughter, and joy that fill our lives. If you feel a connection with us, please know that you are not only choosing a family for your child. You are also choosing a community of people who will love and support them unconditionally. And if you wish, you will always be a meaningful part of that extended circle of love. With love and gratitude, Phill & Shayle

Hello & Thank You , We know your mind is probably running a million miles a minute right now, so we're grateful you're taking a moment to read this. Before we say anything else, thank you. Not for any decision you have or haven't made, but simply for the love that's clearly driving every step you're taking. The love it takes to be in this moment... to put your child's future above everything else... is something we deeply admire. Now, the introductions. We're Josh and Iffy, married for 6 years and residing in the Dallas-Fort Worth area with our little household zoo (three cats and one very outnumbered dog). We are, at our core, a team, and becoming parents together has been our dream. Our road here hasn't been without heartbreak. We've faced years of infertility and the grief of multiple miscarriages. Those losses changed us, and in some ways they led us here to you, to this child, to this path. We don't see adoption as a last resort. We see it as exactly where we were always meant to end up. If you choose us, we promise that your child will always know their story. Where they came from, and the extraordinary love that surrounded them from the very beginning... including yours. Your baby would be coming home to a place full of warmth, curiosity, laughter, and love. They would grow up knowing they were chosen, not because they had to be, but because we wanted them more than we can say. Thank you for considering us. Thank you for your courage, your love, and for reading these words. We are rooting for you, and we are so hopeful for what the future holds for all of us. With so much love, Josh & Iffy

Hello & Thank You , Thank you for taking the time to learn more about us and for considering us as a family to raise your child. Your love for your child is already evident, and we honor the strength it takes to make decisions rooted in that love. We can only imagine how overwhelming this process may feel, and we deeply respect the courage, love, and care you are showing. Please know we are thinking of you and praying for you as you navigate this journey, no matter what you decide. We are incredibly grateful and excited to be growing our family through adoption after a long journey with infertility and loss. For three years, we pursued fertility treatments and experienced seven early miscarriages. During that time, God began to give us a clear vision for how we would build our family. While our season of infertility was painful, it also strengthened our marriage, deepened our communication, and helped us grow in patience, faith, and trust in God’s timing. It prepared us spiritually, emotionally, physically, and financially for adoption. In March of 2024, we adopted our son, Dawson, from birth and were blessed to be by his birth mother’s side when he was born. We continue to share updates and photos with her today. We want you to know your child will be raised in a home filled with love, honesty, warmth, and support. We believe in teaching values such as respect, integrity, faith, and compassion, and we strive to make everyday moments meaningful as a family. Our home is a place where people feel welcomed, safe, and deeply cared for. We will always honor the level of openness you choose and deeply respect the trust and sacrifice involved in this decision. Our hope is that, through this book, you can see the love we have for each other, our son, our families, our friends, our pets, and the child we hope to welcome. We are truly grateful for your consideration of us as adoptive parents. We are keeping you in our thoughts and prayers, no matter what path you choose. With love, David & Lindsey
